Masala is a restaurant that has regained its footing after a brief decline. The lunch buffet offers a variety of dishes, including methi chicken, goat curry, tikka masala, garlic naan bread, and Nepali dishes like momo and rayo ko saag. The buffet provides a great value with many options to try, and the restaurant is often full, even on Sundays. The food includes Indian staples such as rice, chicken, shrimp, veggie dishes, and desserts, with vegetarian options like samosas, pickled vegetables, Mutter paneer, Biryani, Palak Paneer, and Basmati Rice. The dining area has a window into the kitchen, allowing diners to see the kitchen activities, and the outer windows can be opened on nice days. The service and ambiance are praised, making it a popular choice for South Asian cuisine in the Boston area, though some find the food average and the naan sometimes cold. Overall, it remains a good spot for an affordable buffet, especially if in a pinch.
