The dosa was ok. Biryani was good. The disposable plastic glass is definitely weird

Masala Desi Cafe: Where Spice Meets SoulNestled discreetly off the bustling downtown strip of Burlingame lies a culinary gem waiting to be discovered: Masala Desi Cafe. This cozy nook exudes warmth and charm, inviting patrons to step in and savor the rich tapestry of flavors that await within.Despite its intimate setting, Masala Desi Cafe offers ample outdoor seating, allowing guests to bask in the sunshine while indulging in a culinary journey through India's diverse cuisines.The menu, a testament to the chef's artistry, boasts a tantalizing array of dishes that blend the bold spices of South India with the subtle nuances of the North. From the fragrant cauliflower Manchurian to the creamy palak paneer and the robust andra chicken curry, each bite is a symphony of flavors that dances on the palate.Accompanying these delectable delights is a selection of freshly baked roti, the perfect vessel for soaking up every last drop of sauce. And no meal at Masala Desi Cafe is complete without a steaming cup of chai, lovingly brewed to perfection and infused with aromatic spices.But what truly sets Masala Desi Cafe apart is its impeccable service. The staff, with their genuine warmth and efficiency, ensure that every guest feels like family from the moment they step through the door. Their attentive care and swift service only enhance the dining experience, leaving patrons eager to return time and time again.In a world where culinary experiences often blur together, Masala Desi Cafe stands out as a beacon of authenticity and flavor.

This is a cool little spot, to enjoy some very good Indian food. The star was definitely the Samosa Chaat and the Garlic Naan. The Curry and the Butter Chicken were also very good, but the Chaat and Naan stole the show. Definitely stop in if you want a quick little bite of Indian food.The service was also very good.

This was our second visit for Dinner within 2 months. Both Rahul and Jason served well and made us feel at home. Foods taste is good and just right. Not too spicy but flavorful. We enjoyed eating korma, veg biryani, Lamb curry, Idlies, white rice and South Indian coffee. It is just a short drive from SFO Airport and it is easier to reach from Broadway exit.Both times we found street parking within a block by just driving around the restaurant once.

Attentive service and delicious chai and Masala Dosa. The shop is petite but the covered heated patio is very nice. A regular lunch spot when we are in Burlingame.
We ordered the following dishes:Gobi manchurian, Lamb curry, Chicken malai kabab, Cheese Garlic Naan and garlic naan.Malai chicken kabab was a little salty but rest of them were very tasty. Keep it up.

Small cosy place. we had the lamb curry and chicken tikka masala with a masala chai. Really good depth of flavours and spices with very well cooked meat. The masala chai was one of the best I’ve ever had too. Definitely recommend coming here if you fancy having some really tasty Indian food!
