Had the lamb curry. It was pretty good. I think most folks get takeout cus the restaurant was empty except for a family with a screaming kid. The service was very friendly and attentive

Lamb saag was delicious but butter chicken was dry and cloyingly sweet. Set up like a take out place where they have tables but it is all self service but they ask you to tip and pay at the counter before you sit down. Little odd. Friendly staff.

Atmosphere and workers were great, food was excellent, especially the butter chicken. However, I would not recommend dining in with a large group, because the portions were too small.

My friend and I went in today, June 24th, for the first time. She ordered Paneer Tikka Masala and I ordered Butter Chicken, togo. We both asked for it to be spicy, but when we received the order both orders were sweet. Like literally taste like there was sugar put in the meal, so that was disappointing. My friend also said her yogurt was sweet and usually that is tart to offset the spiciness. We both rated the Mango Lassi 7/10. It tasted more like yogurt than Mango, and for $5 we had anticipated a larger size, it seemed to be an 8oz cup maybe 12oz but that’s pushing it. We were also disappointed in the garlic naan, mainly because we only received one slice

This place was clean and pleasant, the staff were friendly and helpful. Our food was good but I've had better elsewhere. I put everything right in the middle range. Nothing would be considered bad, but nothing was great. The music on the patio was annoying and loud which ruined our experience a bit. I'd eat inside if I had the choice.

WOW! By far the best Indian cuisine I have tried in the area. Ordered delivery so cannot speak to atmosphere but the food was outstanding. Masala Story will be my go-to for Indian going forward.

The restaurant was cute and charming, though I could have done without the loud pop music on the patio. The employees were all very nice. All the food is served in to go containers. I ordered a chai and biryani and was kind of disappointed with both for the price. The chai was thin (very ginger forward if you like ginger) and the biryani was ok at best. The portions were pretty big, so at least you get plenty of food.

You can tell that everything is done with care and love, and that means everything. Fresh ingredients. Don’t sleep on the lacha and lamb samosas
