Magic Masala Indian Cuisine

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in Seattle. Food is fantastic - the garlic naan is right between crispy and soft, so you can enjoy both textures. The tikki masala is hearty and full of flavor, it’s hard to want another curry but I’ve had their coconut curry and vindaloo - you can’t go wrong with naan and curry!

Perfect chai

Surprisingly decent garlic fried rice that comes in a large portion as well!

This was my first visit and it won't be my last. The service was great, our party had so many questions annd all were answered with patience and good humor. Our food was exceptional.
What a nice addition to the community.

Only one visit here last night. I eat a lot of Indian food so I use the palak paneer for my baseline everywhere to see what they do. Very generous portion of curry and paneer compared to others. I said hot they actually made the spice perfect. And everything came hot and fresh from the kitchen. The water man and service was very attentive. We will come back.

I used to say there was no good Indian food in Seattle but then Magic Masala opened up.
Everything ive eaten here has been top notch but the stand out is kedai lamb.
Check it out!

Some of the best food. Very kind and friendly service. Must go

Delicious! The garlic naan and chicken 65 were really spectacular.

I ordered Butter chicken and chicken dum biryani from this place. Chicken dum biryani came with no chicken and no masala , it was just bland colored rice. In butter chicken , the chicken was so under cooked and hard that I couldn’t eat it. Please avoid this place . There are much better places.

Ordered pickup through Grubhub after seeing so many reviews about Biryani. I ordered Chicken Dum Biryani along with butter chicken and garlic naan. The chicken was very chewy and biryani had NO CHICKEN or SALT😂. There are much better places to get Indian food from! Never ordering again.

Excellent food—Kadai and Chana Masala were top notch. There was also a large naan menu.

Very average and overconfident for a new outlet, but some stuff is nice.

Starters:
We liked the chatpata baby corn, it was crispy, the onions felt a bit out of place, but we liked it overall.
Tandoori mushroom was a BIG disappointment. Who puts mayonnaise on it?!! Ruined the whole thing. The stuffing was extremely spicy too. (And the server acted so adamant on the criticism that it was a flagship dish loved by all. No offer to take it back or remake it, nor offered a refund.)

Mains:
The garlic naan was good, more in line with what I’d expect in India
But the butter paneer was barely average (sweetened, loaded with cream, not worthy of a high rated place in Seattle).

$79 for two including tip, not worth half that

This place is incredible! I don't get Indian food very often, but I'm so glad I went here with my family. The waiters were super helpful and friendly, frequently checking on us and refilling water. One waiter gave me a recommendation for his favorite curry, Methi Chicken Curry, and it was everyone's favorite! All the food was delicious, well priced, and well portioned, plus the menu is very extensive and easy to navigate on their website. Absolutely come here if you like Indian food or are looking to try something new!

I’m disappointed by the service at this place. The reviews are so good but we have had two bad experiences with pickup orders. Once we ordered a meal for pickup, they were out of serval of the dishes we wanted, and when we arrived they said it would be 30 mins more than we had been told, and then they forgot part of our order. We tried them again today and again they are taking 35+ mins more than we were told. They are not apologetic, I think they should have comped the meal but they offer nothing but a shrug. The food is reasonably good but not sure it is worth the hassle.
