Will travel for this food! I live in Great Falls and unlike our local Indian restaurant (sorry bollywood) the chicken at Masala is always tender. Care is put into the food and presentation. Great taste!

Great portion size, flavorful, and prompt service... what more can one ask for?! We came on a rainy Saturday afternoon and was immediately seated. We had the veggie samosas, which was wayyy bigger than we imagined. These were fried perfectly, with a great amount of moistness right in the middle. We then opted to order the garlic basil naan which was absolutely scrumptious. I could definitely eat an order of this all by my lonesome and still crave more! I then had the chicken tikka masala, which gave me about three normal size servings (in my opinion) and was very appetizing.

AR foodie!

A Nepalese Indian restaurant with a combination of delicious momos & Indian food. We had the vegetarian Jhol Momos and they came with a sesame tomato sauce and were delicious. Do know the soup is a cold and the momos are hot. It was an interesting combination. We also had the Dal Bhukara which is like a dal makhani and the bindi amchur both dishes were delicious. The dal bakhura is a little different than a makhani but still good. We also ordered an assorted Naan basket which came with Roti, Butter Naan & Garlic Naan. The garlic Naan was our favorite and was absolutely delicious. I’d highly recommend to order with any of your entree. We also ordered the Kalakand that is a milk sweet usually never offered as dessert in a restaurant. But they did have it and it was pretty decent. My husband liked it but I thought it was ok. Oh, we also ordered the East Indian lemonade but it was very heavy and was not something we could finish. Overall, great food and service.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. Must try are the momos.

I had a very bad experience with this restaurant, the food was had a very bad taste and was flavorless, it was hard to eat and my family had to throw away $40 worth of food because of this. It did not taste like authentic Indian food, i recommend you do not eat here. This is my first and last time with this restaurant.

My sister told me about this place and not a lot of good masala places now days. Wish I took more pictures, everything went well and was amazing and best food I've had in a while.

Within two weeks, I come three times to have lunch with them. Their food is delicious and clean. Of course, the order was butter chicken + white rice.

I've gone to lunch at Masala several times and have had nothing but good experiences. Highly recommend the spicy vindaloo or curry.

Delicious Indian! If you are looking for a fresh, made from scratch food option in McLean (hard to find) - this place is great. The dishes are made to order so expect to wait a little. But its worth it - the seasonings are fresh, unique, whole herbs, and packed with flavor, not the mixes a lesser quality restaurant might use. The meat is high quality and fresh. They seat you quickly, the service is always impeccable and friendly. The atmosphere is clean, updated, and comfortable. They usually have some flowers on the table, so its a nice place for a family meal or a date night.Dietary restrictions: For dairy/gluten-free selections, we like the chicken curry, lamb vindaloo, and papadum. But the staff is knowledgeable and can guide you.Parking: ample parkingKid-friendliness: Very friendly for kids and they have a kids menu with chicken nuggets if your child is not ready to try Indian.

I used to frequent “Masala Indian Cuisine “ for their delicious MOMO and flavorful dishes. However, I have recently noticed a significant drop in the quality of their food. One of my favorite menu items was their MOMO, but they no longer resemble the authentic and flavorful dish that drew me to the restaurant in the first place. It’s disappointing because “Masala Indian Cuisine “ was once one of my favorite restaurants.

Ambience was good, everything else was atrocious. Tikka Masala was so sweet, in general the food was lacking in

They used to have a nice lunch buffet, as people mentioned below. I haven't been since pre-pandemic, but when I went yesterday they told me they no longer have buffet at any time of day. Food was okay, lamb had a lot of fat and gristle. Really miss the buffet, and hope they bring it back.
