I was in the area today (Saturday) and wanted to stop by to eat some Nepali food, but the host stopped us at the door and said that they were closed. They were supposed to be open for lunch till 4:00 pm and I reached there at 3:13 pm. Very bad impression! Will never go back!!

Food and service is always amazing! Great lunch deal if you’re able to pop by. I highly recommend the malai kofta, palak paneer, and their chai!

Food was very bad. In my salad there was fungus on green chili. Tofu is also not good.

Been up and down with Masala. It was a favorite of mine, went downhill, but is back to good IMO.My favorite is the methi chicken, but going the lunch buffet today was exceptionally good. Lots of dishes, not just "the usual”. Fragrant and delicious.

I’m pretty inexperienced with Indian cuisine, so I love that there is a lunch buffet. The restaurant is a bit small so there weren’t a TON of choices, but I was definitely full after trying even just half the options. Also note that the seats were all full (Sunday 1pm). Food-wise there were some hits and misses, but mostly hits! Some standouts for me were the goat dish and tikka masala of course. The garlic naan bread (table service) especially was the best I’ve ever had. The fried bread rings on the other hand (sorry I don’t remember the name) placed at the buffet were impossible to chew! –probably just got stale.

The BEST lunch buffet place in the Boston area for South Asian food! Amazing Nepali/Indian dishes for the very reasonable price of $18. If you live in Boston , you know that's a great deal.They have garlic naan, dal tadka, palak paneer, navaratan korma, chicken tikka, and even Nepali dishes like momo, goat curry, rayo ko saag, kukhura ko masu, and chai/chiya. The quality of all the dishess, service team and the aesthetics of the place are all 10/10.

The food was bland and cold. The service was horrible and we were asked to leave within 30 min although there was no waiting outside. Got weird glances from the waiters (2-3 at a time) as well. Would definitely NOT recommend this place to my worst enemies also.
