Gluten Free options with a dedicated fryer.
I had Vegetable Pakora which I was assured was g/f. It was delicious! We also had a beverage called Mango Lassi Very rich & helps mute the spice but is very heavy.

Best momos I’ve ever had! It’s worth traveling for their buffet - so fun to get to try lots of Nepali dishes, and everything was really good. Tons of variety.
This is a great local Indian/Nepalese restaurant. The menu is varied, prices are reasonable, food is flavorful and service is friendly. In the summer the windows to the street may be open which created a nice atmosphere in the restaurant. They have a bar with cocktails that I haven’t tried and a modest beer selection. They provide papadon with a few sauces complimentary at the beginning of each meal.
Thanks!
Enjoyed the dinner there!
Arrived later than planned and ended up here about 40 min before closing. They offered to seat us, but we felt bad as they were starting to close so we opted for take out instead. Only had to wait about 10 minutes and the food was delicious—we got the chicken jalfrezi, korma, chili momos, and naan. The owner/hostess even included some complimentary mango lassi which was really kind. We will definitely be coming back!

Loved the food and ambience.
We had a goat thali and the serving size was not as I had expected. A thali typically has more items on the side but this barely had four. I would say the service was really good but the taste was slightly disappointing.

My favorite spot for Indian food in the city! The food is fresh and flavorful and the service is very nice and welcoming. The lunch buffet is my go to for guests visiting town - huge selection of food at a great value!

We had mutton sekuwa, steamed chicken, and chicken biryani. The portion sizes were generous, the service was friendly, and as someone Nepali, I really appreciated the warm and familiar ambiance. The pricing was reasonable, and the table setup along with the background music added to the overall enjoyable atmosphere. After a long time, it felt truly great to dine at a Nepali restaurant. Had a wonderful experience!

We’ve been to Masala’s wonderful buffet before, but a real highlight was our recent visit in April with our two toddlers. We stopped in unplanned after visiting a friend nearby. The staff were so helpful and welcoming to us — this kind of hospitality makes such a big difference when dining with small children!

I ordered from uber eats. By far one of the best Indian places in this area. The spice levels were as described and the food was amazing.
Chicken Jalfrezi, Chole, Aaloo paratha, Garlic Naan and Poori … all very good.

Went for a weekend buffet, lots of dishes, goats chicken and veggies, rice and Nan bread, every thing was super delicious, only two chicks for dessert but the Masala tea was great to end the meal.
