This is the best Indian restaurant in town! I absolutely love their buffet. The goat curry, chicken masala, and momo are all so delicious.

The first time I visited Masala, I placed a to-go order. The staff was very helpful, especially two girls who were very nice and assisted me with my order. They explained the menu to me and even gave me a free dessert, which made me feel at home (I am from Turkey and asked about the dessert later). I really loved it. The portions were also big. They recommended the dumplings, which are apparently very popular. I will try them next time. I ordered vegetable chowmein. Thank you, Masala team!

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The staff were friendly, professional, and very helpful. The food was delicious and well-prepared. I opted for the lunch buffet so I could try a little bit of everything. They also offer separate vegan options. The atmosphere is stylish and you can even watch the chefs at work through a glass area in the kitchen. The buffet dishes are clearly labeled with descriptions. I enjoyed everything except for the avocado which had some condiments that didn't suit my taste. Overall, I would give this place five stars as I particularly enjoyed the spring chicken dish (not what you might expect, it's a flavor).

This place has become our go-to Indian restaurant this year, and they also offer dosas and Nepalese options. Masala provides a lovely atmosphere, buffet lunch options, and their staff are kind attentive. The food is excellent. We like the Masala Dosa, Chili Chicken, Chana Masala, and the fabulous fresh bread. Also a nice beer wine selection if you are so inclined.
