    Chicken Tikka Masala

    Affordable yet delicious. A vacation for your wallet and a festival for your tongue. The Nan was the best thing ever!

    Chicken Shahi Korma, Chicken Tikka Masala

    My fav Indian spot in Bushwick. I love how their chicken korma + tikka masala are creamy and not watery at all. And the samosas are to die for

    samosa chicken

    I came here because I wanted samosas. I got 2 vegetable samosas and 2 chicken samosas. This was 10 total. They were amazing. They were full of the filling and really tasty. They were nice and crispy as well. The best samosas Ive had. The sauces they gave worked very well with it too. I would definitely get both of these again.

    Samosa Chat
    Chris S.

    Came here because a friend kept recommending the samosas to me. So I ordered the chicken and vegetable samosa. I also ordered the samosa chat. The samosas were $5 for two. The samosa chat was $7. It was my first time having samosa chat and I was surprised at what I got. The best way I can describe it is Indian vegetable nachos. Instead of tortillas it was the samosa. It was really good and actually surprised me. I wish the samosa was crunchier but I loved it. The samosas came out hot and sauces were provided for us. The samosa are good and for the size and price, no complaints from me. I will say I've had better vegetable samosas though. I don't think I'd get it again. I'd happily get the chicken samosa anytime though. All in all, this place was great. I plan to come back here in the future and try something else.

    Mango Lassi Chicken Tikka Masala Garlic Naan Bread

    Highly highly recommend for those who always order chicken tikka masala. Definitely my neighborhood Indian spot! Disclaimer: I do not have experience with authentic Indian food, but I am a mild chicken tikka masala, mango lassi and garlic naan fiend. This chicken tikka masala hits the spot! The chicken has its own deep flavor, delivered in a rich, creamy, delicious curry. (Could not be further from watery, Trader Joe's chicken tikka masala mentioned in a very inaccurate review). + A huge serving of mango lassi and garlic covered naan. Will be back!

    Last minute spot for dinner . Completely worth it ! We ordered the Kaati wraps for our son who loved it ! I ordered the lamb vindaloo and my husband got the chicken tikka masala . Both spicy. It was the perfect spice level for heat and flavor . Looking for some Indian ? Come here . Highly recommend! The waitress was extremely friendly as well ! Will deftly come back again !

    As far as Northern Indian cuisine, Masti Indian Grill & Chatt Bar elevates the dining experience…read more Since my first review, I've been here several times and every experience was better than the previous. My friend was craving Indian cuisine as part of a belated birthday dinner and Masti came to mind. I've tried other restaurants within Brooklyn and although good, there's something about Masti that allows them to outshine the others. Upon settling at our table, a very frigid Saturday evening had us craving a hot Ginger Chai Tea, unsweetened and very good. Pappadam along with the tradtional three chutneys were brought to the table on the house. Our order consisted of: *Chicken Tikka. As a starter, it was excellent. Having ordered it in the past, we knew it was solid and satisfying. Chunky grilled chicken smothered with onions and peppers. *Lasoni Gobi. Deep fried Cauliflower, tangy and sweet. I tasted one delicious floret, but it was my friend's decadent treat to savor. *Roti. Plain. Charred and Grilled. The healthiest bread to order at an Indian restaurant---thin and so delicious. Complemented the dinner very well. *Rogan Josh with Chicken. A first for me (and frankly unfamiliar), this dish was a home run. Chunky pieces of chicken in a yogurt based sauce. Outstanding. *Bricklane Curry. Again with Chicken and made with fresh Curry leaves. Excellent with a spicy kick---highly recommend. What I love about Masti Indian Grill is that they'll substitute any protein or even make it vegetarian from a menu selection. For example, Rogan Josh was under the lamb category, but prepared with chicken instead per our request. Service is always attentive. Staff--hospitable and food is on another level. Excellent, made with passion and precision. A go to spot you can count on for a great meal. One of my favorites.

The cute restaurant was empty, but people picked up their orders or for delivery. The staff gave me a snack that had fennel seeds and was a savory snack while I waited for my order. So sweet. My lunch special was $13 and included chutney, tomato soup, meat samosa, and curry lamb entree with naan and rice. I think it's a pretty good deal. I really enjoyed their rice which is basmati with fennel seeds; this adds so much jazz to the rice. The naan was nice and soft. The lamb curry was ok, and will probably try something else next time.

The naan was very soft and warm and easy to chew. The samosa was very starchy in my opinion filled with a lot of potato. Overall the meal was very affordable with a lot of appetizers to go along with the chicken tikka masala meal.

The vegie korma was full of vegetables in a delicious creamy, almond and cashew nut sauce. Delicious! The garlic naan and the cheese naan paired perfectly with our curries.

The Jani Burger was amazing, perfectly cooked, with great pakistani flavor, and it was refreshing not to have a smash burger for once. The lamb chops were also cooked to perfection, perfect medium rare, super tender and very flavorful. The Nihari sandwich was also great, however I wish there was a little more unique flavor to it. The masala fries are alright, but I'd say you can skip those. On top of the great food, this service was even better. The staff was so friendly, checking in on us and even offering us a free mango lassi drink.

We at this on the sidewalk so it was still fresh when we got it. But for us the food just didn't hit. I recognize it's fusion, but maybe the way things were meant to be balanced didn't mesh. The (impossible burger patty) lahori felt quite bland. Maybe because the burger patty was so thick, but it just kind of was overwhelmed by generic beef patty taste which wasn't what I was expecting. The nihari had some really good flavor, but I found the bread was somehow both quite dry and soggy at the same time. It's hard to describe, but I felt like it was working against the actual nihari flavor. Sadly I do think something like naan or basmati rice would've been better. The fries were pretty unremarkable, too. Just tasted like fries you'd get at your local bodega. I don't expect the wheel to be reinvented when it comes to fusion restaurants, but I just felt nothing actually balanced themselves well (at least for what we ordered). For $50 pre-tip, I'm a bit disappointed. This place has been on my hit list for a while, but I can't see myself wanting to go back. Staff was friendly and the space, albeit small, can fit groups of 2-4 pretty easily. I have a few friends that really like this place, so maybe I'm just the odd one out.
