Came in on a weekday afternoon. Tried ordering something from menu, but was told that it wasn’t available and to choose something else. Ordered my food, and it came out suspiciously fast under five minutes and two entrees were ordered. Food lacked flavor and chicken was a bit tough. Halfway through eating my meal, I look up at the ceiling above my table to see some mold. I wasn’t too thrilled about this. Considering the temperature of the restaurant had me sweating within a minute of sitting in there, I can imagine how the heat and humidity is making this mold thrive. Service wasn’t great, but they automatically add their 15% charge to the bill. Probably won’t be returning here. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2

Honestly, I’m not usually a fan of Chinese food, but I don’t dislike it either. The people behind this cuisine are charming and cool. Tangra Masala is a unique spot. They only accept cash, and a tip is automatically added to the bill. The Lollipop chicken is the best appetizer on the menu! The Singapore noodles taste authentic and delicious. The Chicken Manchurian deserves a 5/3 rating. The corn soup was just average. Overall, the food was excellent, Alhamdulillah. The vibe felt a bit strange when we first walked in, but seeing two beautiful South Asian women sitting at the front table and the one next to me really brightened my day, so the atmosphere didn’t bother me much. Thanks to them for their lovely presence.

The Chinese dishes at Tangra Masala are outstanding, especially for those craving Indo-Chinese flavors! We strongly suggest ordering the Chili Fish, Mixed Hakka Noodles, and Pan-Fried Chicken Dumplings. If you enjoy spicy, authentic Indian-inspired cuisine, this place is a must-visit.
