Indian Masala - Maplewood

This is a very good restaurant that serves authentic Indian cuisine. I've been here a couple of times now. I like to try something different each time I come in. I always get some of the tasty flat bread too. This place has tasteful decor as well. Bring the kids...

10/10 recommend ? I MISS buffets and I'm so grateful that Indian Masala has not only a buffet and menu items to order, but has OUTSTANDING food choices and variety. Each weekend has a different food theme and offers a variety of vegan, vegetarian and meats for beings of all different diets ? I loved this part. You can also go to buffets for lunch during the week. I also LOVE saag paneer (best spinach and cheese ever and I learned that it takes them 2 days to prepare this meal so that the flavors simmer, meld and it gives off bold unique flavor. I've never had this flavor before and I'm absolutely spoiled. Seriously, thank you! So, if they really pay attention to this dish, I can only imagine what other dishes are just absolutely amazing AND took multiple days to prepare for the perfect flavor combination. That's dedication right there! I loved that they also had a fresh cook station where a awesome Cook made me a fresh Doosa, like an Indian crepe, and made it the way he likes it (so you know it's good! And it was excellent. Trying new things here is fun, exciting and so rewarding because the spices merge wonderfully, there are happy people and customers and the space is inviting ? Seriously awesome. Today they had a homemade icecream with sweet spices and fruits! And fish and chicken that was so moist. The veggie dishes were filling and so so good. I'm super full! Whether a seasoned food lover or someone who just likes to taste things, this is a perfect LOCAL place to try and share some love with. Have a fantastic day ???

This place is amazing. Every single item is made in house. You can tell right away the food is fresh and beyond delicious. Hands down the best Indian restaurant east of the cities. The lunch buffet is fairly priced and has a lot of options especially on the weekends. I believe they also have lots of vegan options!

This is the only Indian restaurant (locally)making a Vegan buffet, with tons of delicious vegan dishes. It's on the first wednesday and thursday of every month, so if you want to try plant-based Indian food, put it on your calendar. I wish they had a few hotter chutneys, but otherwise the food is really well-done. The restaurant is bare bones, you get a plastic bottle of water and a plate, but if you aren't looking for ambiance, the food at Indain Masala is worth the trip.

I had buffet and took Masala Dosa for to-go. Buffet was 10/10. A variety of choices for both veg and non-veg items. Chowmein and mutton dish could have been better. But overall it was really nice. However, I have given them 4 stars because of the Masala Dosa. Crunchiness does decrease on a carry out order but the taste was not at par. Sambar wasn't at all sour like it should be. The potato filling had raw turmeric and ginger smell. But the side chutneys was extremely nice.
