The place was fairly empty when we arrived at 7:30pm, which is not always a good sign, but continued to fill up. The décor is simple and unobtrusive. The food was not your usual Indian fare, though some of the menu items were standards — chicken tikka masala, samosas. The flavorings were much more inventive — «ginger cream» «chili soy fusion» — and the palak paneer we had was superb. The coconut, coriander, peanut, cumin, mint, all the flavorings were blended in unique ways and were surprisingly great. But why did I give it a 3? They watered down the wine! Very strange. Not sure if it was just for us, or just for the lighter wines, but that wine was half water. So just be careful and have them pour it at the table.

Terrible. Not sure why it has high reviews. Chicken had a mashed potato consistency covered with weird blue cheese sauce(the non veggie starter platter). The lamb was hard and chewy in the $ 19 lamb curry dish. Utterly disgusting. The rice tasted flaccid and served barely lukewarm. The $ 4 beer was the only highlight, but that’s because it came bottled.

Delicious Indian food. We had the eggplant curry dish with coconut peanut sauce which had a gorgeous presentation and outstanding flavor profile. We did have to wait about 10 – 15 minutes before being seated as this is a rather small space. But it wasn’t excessively long and it was worth the wait.

I think a lot of people will agree with me that a lot of indian food tastes all the same when you’re ordering delivery or take out. Not this place though! This is my new go-to spot for indian food. We ordered the chicken vindaloo, lamb rogan josh, garlic naan, the samosa. The samosa was delicious — perfectly flaky and crunchy on the outside but filled to the max on the inside. The chicken vindaloo was good but the highlight was definitely the lamb. It was well cooked, tender, and the curry was just the right level of spice and consistency(not too watery or thick). Garlic naan was also delicious — not too thin like some restaurants. Will deifnitely be back to try the other appetizers and lamb chops!

Been wanting to try indian food for so long and heard about this place through a friend so I decided to give it a try. So glad I did! We ordered the mango lassi, garlic naan, and lamb shahi korma to share. The lamb shahi korma was pretty good. I was really afraid of the lamb being overcooked and dry, but it wasn’t. However, the rice was quite dry. Maybe I’m just not used that type of rice, but I had to drown the rice in the cashew cream sauce in order to cover up the dryness. The garlic naan was the perfect texture. The right amount of crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Really wanted to order more but we were pretty full already. Service was excellent. Will definitely be coming back to try the other dishes!

My initial review disappeared… maybe they were displeased with my comments? Wish I remember which dishes my sister and I ordered because they were delicious; she ordered a veggie dish(spinach perhaps) that came with biryani, as did my lamb entrée. The portions looked small when they arrived but don’t be fooled! we couldn’t finish all the food and my sister has a ravenous appetite! My mango lassi neutralized the mild lamb biryani(a bit spicy for non-spice eaters like myself) and the gulab jaman was a nice touch for dessert. In my other review, I commented that they should give you a larger portion for dessert because it breaks down to $ 2.50 for one small piece of gulab jaman. I also said that it wasn’t the best Indian food I’ve had and the price was higher than what I normally pay for Indian food.

Some of the best Indian food I have ever had! We were up the block for a comedy show and seriously craving Indian food when my friend and I stumbled upon the MasalaWala. A quick Unilocal search told us that it was the place to go to, and we were seated right away. Our server was so friendly and attentive, and told us to check in on Unilocal.Once we did we each got a chicken samosa on the house– so remember to check in and show your waiter! We each had the same thing, the chicken vindaloo with the PERFECT amount of spice, a mango lassi, and a side of garlic naan. Just writing this is making my hungry for MasalaWala again. A bit pricey but they give a pretty big proportion– I was able to take about half of my chicken vindaloo home with me. Would recommend and will definitely be back!

This is a true hidden treasure– Indian food can be found all over the city but once in a blue moon you find a place so good you just can’t keep it to your self. What’s so good about them? The service towers over mostly anything and anyone– the staff is truly happy to see you and treat you as such. The food is excellent– so rich in flavor –perfectly prepared and presented. Be good to yourself and take a visit to a restaurant that will transport you to the other side of the world. Oh and the owner was in attendance to great guest personally– super friendly and humble.

Really hard to write this review given how kind the Marsala Wala himself was. The owner(the marsala wala) walks around and goes table to table saying hello. I’m honestly really confused right now. Maybe I’ve just had the best of the best when it comes to Indian food(Bombay dar bar in Miami), but this place is not worth 4 stars at all. Appetizers: The kolkata manchuri or something — aka cauliflower that resembles general tsos chicken. One of the only good things I ordered. A fun spin on cauliflower — definitely has a kick though. Samosa chaat — what the heck fellow Unilocalers. You people said this stuff was good. It literally was like a soggy samosa covered in some weak toppings. I am self proclaimed extremely sensitive to spice, and boy was this spicy for me. And my boyfriend who eats spice agreed too. Look. I get it. Indian food is typically spicy, but give a girl a head’s up please! Ask me if I want it mild, medium, or strong! The menu really should indicate the spice level. Entrees: Free samosa with check in. Whatev. Not worth it. Chicken korma — the chicken was dark meat. Not my type. Maybe those who do like it would enjoy! The cashew sauce that came with it was creamy and tasty. Still had a kick to it though… I typically order veggie korma, so I asked if I could have the mixed vegetable entrée but with a cashew sauce instead of the hot and tangy one that typically comes with it. Almost 100% sure that I was not given this dish, as it was a red sauce. Totally different than the chicken korma sauce. And I had requested the same cashew sauce. The dish was so spicy I couldn’t even force down bites out of respect to the kind Marsala Wala. And after the appetizers, I had told the waiter that I wanted negative spice. The Marsala Wala noticed, and offered to remake it with no spice. So nice. But yet again, it was way too spicy. My friend couldn’t eat it either. And he likes spice. It was really sad. But the Marsala Wala was so kind that I had to fake it. Garlic naan: YUM! Now thats how naan is done. Steaming hot. a little doughy. Garlicy. Mhm. 2 stars just because the cauliflower and naan, and overall good service. Go here if you like spice. When it comes down to it, the restaurant definitely tried to accommodate me, we just have totally different perceptions of what is spicy and what’s notS And btw Unilocalers, Agehli in Hells Kitchen wasn’t great either — so quit lying to me!!!

Not the best Indian food I’ve ever had but still very enjoyable and probably the best in the area. The Gobi Manchurian($ 9) and Garlic naan($ 4) alone are worth coming here for. The gobi, which is battered cauliflower served in an Indo-Chinese sauce, is a unique dish I haven’t seen at other restaurants. It’s like sweet and sour chicken, only with cauliflower. Delicious. The garlic naan was out of this world fluffy!!! Best naan I’ve ever had. I wish I ordered 2 of them. I had Chicken Vindaloo($ 15) too, which wasn’t as spicy as I would have liked it to be, but the chicken was tender(thigh meat I believe) and tasty. Rice, roti and mango lassi were all good too. Overall a slightly pricey but great meal. The MasalaWala himself was there, slowly patrolling the tables and making sure all the patrons were satisfied. He’s very warm and welcoming. He has his portrait up on the wall. What a boss.

This place is definitely one of the most authentic Indian cuisine restaurant around NYC. My husband and I came here for lunch on a weekend afternoon. It is a very clean and cosy place. Upon checking in on Unilocal,we are entitled for a free samosa each as our appetizer. It tasted similar to an Indian curry puff, but with a more crisp outer layer and slightly more spicy. We ordered the Tandoor Grill Malai Tiger Shrimp, Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan. These taste simply fabulous! The garlic naan goes really well with the chicken, totally loved the curry and the combination! The server was really attentive and polite. The place isn’t too noisy and crowded for a weekend afternoon. Simply a good place to chill for some authentic Indian food. I would definitely recommend this place to others and return for more!

Following my review, the owner got in touch to apologize and see if there was anything he could do to improve my experience. I placed another order for Lamb Saagwala and the vegetarian sampler appetizer. The curry arrived hot and within the delivery time and was delicious. The appetizer didn’t appeal to me personally, but to each their own. I’m happily updating my review to 4 stars — this is the level of customer service all restaurants should strive for! Thanks Roni!

First time I try an Indian restaurant in NYC and I’m sure I already found one of the best in town. The samosa, both the veggie and the chicken one, were crispy and tasted really good. I really enjoyed my special lamb dish, suggested by the waiter. On top of the great food, all the waiters were really kind. For sure this restaurant deserves another visit next time I come to New York.

First off, this place is DELICIOUS! We ordered the lamb, saffron chicken, vegetarian samosas, and garlic naan. Everything was on par, and the seasoning was on point! The place is small and there was a little bit of wait, but it was definitely worth it! The chicken and lamb were both so tender, and all the portions were very generous. At the end of the meal, MasalaWala himself came to our table to chit chat and asked us about our meal. Of course we had no complaints, and we noticed, he made it a point to go up to every table and ask them how their meal went. Plus we got free dessert(v. fresh mango ice cream) :) Even if you don’t like Indian food, this place will change your life

Ate here on a busy Saturday night and had a great experience. The owner was making rounds and asking about the food and how the meal experience was going. You could tell he was very invested in the customers’ experiences at his restaurant, which was super refreshing. The place is small, so you can expect a half an hour or so wait during the typical busy times, but there’s plenty of bars around where you can wait. We started off the night with some paneer tikka and lucknowi chicken tikka. Both of these were fantastic. Special props for the sweet chutney which accompanied the paneer tikka. The chicken in the lucknowi tikka melted in the mouth and you could tell they hadn’t just slapped the spices on top because you could taste them deep in the tikka. Appetizers — awesome. For the entrees we went chicken tikka masala and shahi paneer w/garlic naan. The garlic naan was fantastic, I had been disappointed last month with my naan at a curry hill joint, so this was great to get some amazing naan. I would argue it was the best naan I had had. The shahi paneer was amazing and the chicken tikka masala was great too. I think the naan really brought the show together. I also ordered a milk chai because I was feeling nostalgic, was a fantastic decision because it rounded out my meal nicely. Would recommend to friends and am definitely coming back.

I came her twice. Didn’t know this place is small but famous! And of course, authentic Indian Food. The first time I came here around 7.30pm, we received 3 complimentary samosas with Unilocal checked in and the place was packed after 8pm. The 2nd time I came here was during happy hour. I arrived at 5.55pm and their happy hour is still on as long as you ordered before 6pm. WIN! and I still get a free samosa! Few entrees I tired: Shahi Korma — chicken curry in Cashew and almond cream sauce, it wasn’t very spicy but it was really creamy, sweet and delicious Biryani — We wanted it to be VERYSPICY and told the waiter and he was like«are you sure». So my friend and I were like«we were from Malaysia we can handle it». The first bite were ok and it slowly burns in your body! JUSTBEWARE. I have to drink couple cups of water. It’s great and spicy as it doesn’t burn my mouth but my body. might be perfect for winter Garlic naan– hands down the best garlic naan in town. Warm and baked with real garlic!!! Kolkata Gobi Manchurian– roasted cauliflower. I am not a huge fan of cauliflower but I guess I just found a favorite place to order it. The garlic and the spice combination made it delicious. Happy hour: Tiger shrimp — it came in 4 pieces and it was recommended by the waiter. I see every table ordered it. It was also spicy but just the perfect level to enjoy the shrimp. chicken tikka & Aloo masala roll — I thought it was like kati roll company but both kati roll was a little disappointing. The chicken tikka was slightly better than the aloo masala The first time I came here the owner came out and asked how was the food. I like how they take your order with an ipad and if you do not know what dishes you are going to order they have pictures on the ipad to show you. I love this authentic indian place. Almost all of their food is spicy but you can still enjoy it unlike other restaurant that just dump in more peppers to make it spicy.

As a general rule of thumb I avoid Indian food in the city since it’s usually not up to the standard I was raised with. However, this spot had some really good reviews and I was pining for some samosas, so gave it a shot. Group of 5, and we got seated immediately late on a Saturday night. Ordered the Hakka Chili Chicken($ 9) and split the Samosa Chaat($ 8), Chicken Samosa($ 6), and Lamb Bhuna Roll($ 7) with another person. Hakka chicken had an interesting blend of spices, both sweet and spicy, a little chewy but overall a good dish. Chicken Samosa was dry and forgettable. Samosa chaat was layered perfectly and is the best of the bunch. The lamb roll is incredibly meaty, seasoned well, and actually juicy even as leftovers a day later. Service is a little iffy(unsurprised). Though the price-to-quality-food ratio here is agreeable. Definitely would recommend as an end of the night quick eat.

I can’t really believe this place has 4.5 star review. Sometimes I feel like Unilocal is not helpful. I really don’t understand the hype. When I came in, the restaurant looked really quaint and small(cute, but small), so I was worried I wouldn’t have seating. Indeed, they said they were fully booked for over 2 hours so they proceeded to seat us outside. Fortunately the weather was mild so I was not too concerned. They gave us the free samosas as we checked in, and we proceeded to ask for recommendations. The menu is very confusing for non Indian place frequenters… do your research beforehand? Or just go anywhere in curry hill… seriously. I ordered a chai, and the waiter told me that some people prefer it at the end… really? I didn’t know and asked him if I should have it at the end. He gave me a very inconspicuous Indian nod, which he proceeded to do the whole night whenever we asked questions… umm does not help. He asked us to repeat the order around 4 times and still ended up getting it wrong. I think they gave us 2 of the 4 dishes wrong… thats like half our meal. We ordered the gobi manchurian cauliflower… the taste was not what we expected as we had never had it before. it tasted like a indian spiced general tsos cauliflower. I went to devi previously and was blown away by their manchurian cauliflower and this place pales in comparison to say the least… We also ordered the baby eggplant main course but ended up with a palak paneer. we got to keep it but it wasn’t what we wanted… I think the only dish I liked was the baby eggplant(and naan).but really everything else was very unimpressive… When we asked to wrap the dishes to go some of it went missing… Very very spotty service. The waiter was just really confusing over all. I think he just even confused himself. I do want to give this place a good review but I just feel like everything was all over the place. Perhaps it woudl be better with organized events? but for indian food, I will stick to darbar or chote nawab…

I think my experience warrants a 3.5, but it was nearer to a 3 to a 4 so I’ve gone with a 3. Being a Brit, curry is the most common takeaway dish, so I have had my fair share of curries over the years, therefore consider myself a fair judge of a good curry. My husband and I came here due to the high Unilocal rating, but came away disappointed. We ordered vegetable samosas to start(FYI *free samosa with check in*), unfortunately I ordered before I checked in, and they wouldn’t give us our appetizer as the freebie and instead brought us an addition samosa? The samosas were a bit on the spicy side, but otherwise very good. For our main course we shared a chicken tikka masala and lamb rogan josh. We weren’t a fan of the chicken as it wasn’t fresh chicken breast, it was the sort of chicken that you purchase ready cut in pieces and it had a more dense texture. The sauce of both curries was way too runny, you almost had to drain off the sauce when serving it in order to get the meat, so at the end you are left with a bowl of sauce. We ordered a roti to share, which was fine. I like to tear pieces off, but it arrived came ready cut into slices like pitta bread. The staff were very friendly and the restaurant was nice, but the curry just wasn’t up to par for me. My search for a good curry in NYC continues…

It’s now my favorite Indian restaurant in the city. They are always consistent, I’ve NEVER had a bad meal here. The owner, the Masala Wala himself, comes around to greet all his diners and make sure everyone’s happy. He’s super friendly and always remembers his regulars. I love love love their cauliflower. I don’t even LIKE cauliflower, but their version is just one of the best things ever. The okra entrée is my new favorite thing, when I can be tempted away from my usual chicken masala that I’ve still never had a better version of anywhere else. The samosa chaat is also the best samosa I’ve ever had. And yeah, the garlic naan still is too. I can’t since their praises enough. It’s a small space that gets packed, so make reservations if you can. Even if you have to wait, it’s worth it.

Married folks, couples and newly weds… does your significant other have a specific quirk that you found cute in the beginning but later on found somewhat bothersome? :looks around: Not me. Is she gone yet? Good. My «bae»(as the kids call it these days) has a habit of pretending to listen while I talk but in reality she’s thinking about random things such as Newton’s second law of motion or what time Levain’s closes. What I found most interesting today was that she not only does that to me but even to our waiter. Just for the record, he’s a male as well. Waiter — Your Gilt City deal include these wines except riesling. Bae — Hmm I’m in the mood for a white wine, like a riesling. Me —: looks at camera: . «Bae» purchased a Gilt City deal and hadddddddddddddd to come here. No problem. You learn to agree with anything your significant other wants if you don’t want to sleep on the couch. Happy wife, happy life. Am I right? The deal with 2 apps, 2 entrees, 1 dessert and a bottle of wine. The Wala Non-Veg Sampler consist of Mumbai Chicken Samosa, Lucknow Malai Tikka and Malai Tiger Shrimp. The chicken was moist and had a very light flavor. 2 pieces of Tiger Shrimp with a curry paste slathered all over. Decent. Samosa was perfect. Not too heavy and a delicious filling. Our next app was Kolkata Gobi Manchurian. Masalawala’s take on General Tso’s chicken only the filling was cauliflower. Surprisingly good, even for a non-vegetarian like me. Entrees were — Chicken Tikki Masala — Lamb Rogan Josh* The chicken was slightly dry Itself but the curry was delicious. The lamb in the Rogan was Australian type that had the consistency and taste of beef stew. Kashmiri curry that accompanied it was spicy if not properly consumed even when ordered mild. Still a good option If you like the heat that a similar curry like Vindaloo would bring. Hospitality was great here and really gave the overall experience a thumbs up. Cozy atmosphere. Great date night spot. Do It. Your«SO» will be so impressed with you. She might even let you sleep in an extra 5 mins. Thank me later. I accept cash and paypal.

I came here in February but I remember the venue and food just fine. It was not busy when we walked in most likely cause it was so cold outside. Service was courteous and attentive, I came with the hubs because he really wanted some indian food plus he is a vegetarian. We started off with the chicken samosa for me and vegetable samosas for him. They were great but were pricey for just two. The drinks were nothing to write home about, they advertised indian soda(it’s basically american soda) — do not get conned into ordering it, 3 $ for a load of crap. We had two entrees and a garlic naan. Hubby absolutely loved his food because it was flavorful and meatless. I on the otherhand thought the food was on the saltier side. I spent 70 $+ including tip and tax for mediocre food and it was just two people! I thought that was a rip off. If you have the money to spend, come here. The only reason I would be back is if hubs brings up this specific food place when he comes back to visit.

Incredible food! I’ve yet to be disappointed. I usually go for delivery, huge fan of the palak paneer and tikka masala, but the restaurant is pleasant as well. The older gentleman who, I’m assuming manages or owns the place, is extremely friendly. The servers are also very attentive and kind. My only qualm is that the food is very expensive. I guess it’s comparable to other Indian places, but for two dishes and garlic naan, I’d like to play less than $ 48. Saying that, the food is very high quality! Great place, a bit pricey, but incredible!

Awesome food! I’ve been to Jackson Heights in the past for authentic Pakistani food. This was equally as delicious! So why the 3 star rating? We walk in on a Thursday around 5:45pm. Only two tables are taken up and like 10 available. The place is quite small and every table has a reserved sign on it. Hmm ok. The guy walks over and asked if we had a reservation. We did not. He walks over to the manager to see if we can be seated. He walks back over to us and asked if we want to sit outside. I repeat, the restaurant was pretty much empty! I tell him no. The two dingy tables outside didn’t even have chairs. I’m ready to walk out and he says the reservations are for 7:45pm. Um, it’s 5:45pm. It’s only 2 of us. Something isn’t right there. He allows us to sit and we are out within 45 minutes. Mind you, five tables were still free inside the restaurant when we left. I would give them 1 star based-off the reservation situation at the empty restaurant. However, food was delicious!!! The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the Samosa. The Chicken Tikka Masala was on point. They are pricier than average at around $ 16 per entrée more/less. I might return at some point, but they left a bad impression. I feel they could be nicer to people who don’t have reservations at 5pm on a Thursday. I mean c’mon? It’s not Saturday night. Geez.

**Free vegetable samosa with Unilocal check-in!** What is a MasalaWala? I still couldn’t tell you. However, they serve up some pretty good food here. The restaurant itself is much tinier than I envisioned it to be, however, on a beautiful Saturday evening, not all of the tables were full. For a solid 4.5 star restaurant, I would have expected a line out of the door, but that’s just merely an observation. We were seated immediately after having made a reservation on OpenTable(which said there were no seats left, but maybe for walk ins only?). We even had a little«reserved» placard on our table. Service was excellent — our waiter was awesome. He saw that we had checked into Unilocal on our phones after we set them aside and proactively brought us both our free samosas and we didn’t even have to ask! Service was great throughout — water was always full. Usually, it costs extra to get a refill on Raita(the best stuff ever), but he was nice enough to give us a portion free of charge. I hate paying extra for condiments, but I would for Raita! Samosas 3⁄5 — not the best I’ve had. I think the outside/skin fell apart too easily and there was too much of it. Inside was nicely flavored. Badshahi Lamb Biryani 4.5÷5 — asked for mild and this was definitely hotter than my «medium to spicy» lamb curry. I liked the kick, but however, it was a bit spicy for the boyfriend. It was full of chunks of lamb, more than I expected, and very well seasoned(but not over the top). Went really well with the side of raita. Very satisfied. Lamb Rogan Josh 4⁄5 — I usually get the vindaloo, but since the waiter said this is similar and I hadn’t had this kind before, I went with this. It says its made with tomatoes, but I don’t think I tasted much of any tomatoes in this, versus the vindaloo that has a distinct tangy tomato flavor. There was a lot of lamb in this dish as well, which was tender and not tough at all. The flavor was a bit too«normal» for me — tasted like a generic curry — maybe that’s what it’s supposed to be. Garlic naan — lots of garlic flavor, though I think I may have had better textured naan elsewhere. 4⁄5 for the naan. The basmati rice was really fragrant and actually good enough for me to comment on as well :) Mr. MasalaWala came out to greet guests — I read that he does this a lot in other people’s reviews. Smart guy — he’s friendly and energetic and this small gesture probably gives the restaurant a bunch of brownie points and extra stars on their reviews.
