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
Jia-Lian L.

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
Paulina K.

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!

Sumintra S.

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 entire time it was being prepared, he argued with a man in the kitchen. It was an unpleasant experience, though the restaurant itself was clean and inviting. The meal itself was tasty, but a bit too oily for me. Naan was bland.

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.

I got the chicken lunch special at $12.95 pre tax which comes with chicken tikka masala, one vegetable samosa, naan, soup, saffron rice, and 3 difference chutneys for dipping. The chicken tikka masala had a lot of seasoning and a lot of sauce. The chicken was very fresh, chewy, and chunky. I love the chutneys which made everything better. 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.

Service was excellent. Overall, highly recommend!

Loved the complimentary pappadums while we waited. The lentil wafers paired so nicely with the dipping sauces. The tamarind chutney was tangy with a hint of sweetness. The mint chutney is a vibrant blend of fresh mint, cilantro, green chilies, and spices. It has a bit of a kick. Ordered a lamb entree and a veggie korma to share. The lamb rogan josh was so rich. The lamb was so tender. It was served in a rich curry sauce infused with cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg. So fragrant. 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. Service was great. and our water cups were always refilled! Nice to be able to walk from our hotel on Saturday night and get a booth without a reservation. Thank you to Neha for a great evening celebrating life over a delicious meal with our daughter.

Not sure this place is it for me. Came in on a Sunday and the house was packed so my wife and I…read moreordered takeout. Took about 15min or so to get which was fine. 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.
