Food is better than the ambiance, but normal for an excellent Indian restaurant. Highly recommend the food. Their Gobi Manchurian is the best I've had in GR. Owned by the folks who own Royal Indian Market next door, which has an amazing inventory of authentic Indian groceries. If you want to try making your own Indian dishes, this is the place to go. read more

Back...again. I just got the Goat Biryani and the girls got Chana Masala and Butter Chicken. And you know we had to have Naan. Everything was fresh and hot as always and we took leftovers home as they don't skimp on the portions. The place has 1980s dive vibes but that's perfectly fine because the food is so good. It's not a huge place but we've never had trouble getting a table right away and service is efficient. read more

Tried the weekend buffet and was really impressed! We were greeted and seated quickly and warmly. Their space has a lot of natural light and felt spacious. Once seated we were off to fill our plates. They have an impressive amount of choices from cold salads to hot tandoori items. The standouts for me were the chicken biryani, the goat curry, and the desserts! I don't know all their names but I loved them all! It's nice they also include mango lassi and chai as drink options. Overall it was a very nicey curated buffet. I wish there had been something with a little more heat but I understand wanting to keep it palatable for all. Excellent value for the price. read more

We took our granddaughter to eat her birthday lunch, which she chose today at her favorite place, Indian Masala. The buffet is never the same. Today was a wide variety of vegan and meat dishes. The one thing they had in common was deliciousness. Eggplant, chili chicken, goat curry, byriani, paneer, and a host of others. They consistently make delightful new dishes as well as favorite standards. You can't be the price, which includes both mango lassi and chai drinks. Three choices of desserts! Treat yourself at Indian Masala. Excellent proprietor is Mr. Deep. read more

Pretty good Indian food with lots of vegan options, but I went here once a couple years ago and I think they gave me food with dairy in it for some reason even though I was told it was vegan and one of the menus said it was vegan, so I have to take a star off. I have found that if I order the vegan Aloo Gobi I never seem to taste dairy, so as a vegan I get that every time. read more

I came with my family while staying in Grand Rapids. We all enjoyed the food overall. The dahi puri was good; however, I did not like the papdi chaat as much. I thought the papdi (fried dough pieces) were a bit big and the actual potato, chickpea amount was less. Everything was nice and warm and we received quick and friendly service. The chili chicken was my favorite, but no rice came with the dish. The goat rogan josh was nice, had bones in it (which was mentioned by the server, vs lamb which is boneless). Even though, rice is accompanied by each entree order, it came in one serving bowl for the entire group. Unsure if it would cost more to also for more. I recommend for families looking for Indian halal food in the area. read more

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in town by far. I absolutely love Indian food. The food is extremely authentic and full of flavor. I wish it wasn't a half hour a way from where I live but I make the drive because it's absolutely excellent. If you need a nice cozy meal that's good for the soul, come check this place out. I've been coming hear a lot during the winter. Service is incredible and ambiance is quaint and clean. It's very well-lit with plenty of windows. They can handle large parties as well. There is plenty of parking. read more

Everything about this place is great. Mr. Deep meets you with friendly helpfulness and goes the extra mile. The Sunday buffet is phenomenal. Every dish is a treat from vegan to meat dishes. The variety is staggering. They occasionally do a Vegan and gluten-free buffet. North Indian food at its finest.The chai and mango lassi served free with the buffet is delicious! I think it is the best Indian restaurant in Grand Rapids. read more

Food is great and the staff are very nice. Cheese Naan and butter chicken are amazing.

Great buffet, good value- reminded me of banquets in Deli- really good food! Great location to airport

Food is great and portions are right. We have loved every meal we ordered and have been back several times. The tandoori chicken is nice and so are the rest of the dishes we have ordered. Food is made on time as well. read more

I come up to Grand Rapids for business a few times a year and this place is always a great stop. The inside is nice and big with lots of room. The service is always top tier. They are prompt, friendly, and attentive to when you might need something like a refill. The tikka masala is so flavorful and the chicken is very tender. The garlic naan is fire. I've had the veggie samosas which were delicious and I recently tried the paneer pakora which is like a little fritter and I would get definitely get again. All and all always happy to come here. read more

Consistently some of the best Indian and Indo-Chinese food in the entire Grand Rapids area. We get it to go--spicy and mild, tandoori, samosas, paneer, and garlic naan, and it's all excellent and distinctive. Highly recommend the malai kofta, chicken tikka, and butter chicken. You can't beat it anywhere. read more

The food at this Northern India restaurant was delish. Husband got lamb curry and I ordered the chicken tiki masala with zero spice. It was still too spicy for me and so they made me a whole new order with more cream in the sauce and it was wonderful. I appreciated the effort to satisfy this customer and will definitely be back. Service was excellent too and that is not always true with Indian restaurants in my experience. Dining room was nice as well. read more

Ordered takeout for the first time. Very good food. The goat wasn't dry, large chunks. The sauce was creamy and had a nice kick to it. The garlic naan was so tasty. Definitely keeping this place in mind the next time I crave Indian food. read more

Second time dining here. Even better than our first visit, if that's possible. Highest quality ingredients, made fresh by a dedicated Indian chef and team. Fresh ly baked Indian breads, delicious chai tea. Easily the best Indian food in Grand Rapids. Highly recommend. read more

Having traveled in India and lived 20+ years in NYC, frequenting Indian restaurants of every price point, I have never had better food than here. Do not come for ambiance (think Diner). No liquor license! Service is family, very friendly/nice but not professional. But the food is heaven. Dahl Poori is a summer must. Standard dishes are richly spiced and depth of flavor is so unusual for restaurant food. I love bringing people here because they always moan in pleasure on the first bite. read more

We got an assortment of food for takeaway and were very pleased. The butter chicken, lamb curry and bindi masala were excellent. We would definitely order again! read more

We ordered takeout and we enjoyed our dinner. We ordered over the phone directly rather than using GrubHub to help support them more. The staff wasn't the friendliest to be honest. They were very busy and it was somewhat chaotic in the restaurant. We ordered a variety of things to share which included Onion Pakora, Lamb Curry, Butter Chicken, Chana masala, and Garlic Naan. We enjoyed everything we ordered but we could have ordered another order of Naan bread. We appreciate the large portion of rice with each entree as well, we had plenty of rice, even to go with our leftovers. Overall, we enjoyed everything we ordered. The Lamb Curry was probably our least favorite but it was still pretty good. read more

Food is always good. Very consistent quality and reasonable prices. Pick up order was ready before promised.

Our first time in Grand Rapids we saw the reviews and wanted something healthier than American faire. It's located in a strip mall and the restaurant is simple and there were hardly any people but the smell as you walk in was amazing. We ordered the paneer tikka masala which came with rice, garlic naan and a samosa. Everything was fresh and delicious. Service was good and attentive. Also the mango lassi is really good. read more

I've been to Indian Masala twice in the last month. Both visits were very good. Very large serving sizes. The garlic naan is excellent. We had the Chicken Tika Masala and Chicken Korma - both were very good. Not much heat at all so if you like spicy ask for them to spice it up a bit. read more

Stop by every time I'm in Grand Rapids. The garlic naan is top notch. Service is quick and on point.

So happy the lunch buffet is back! It did not disappoint! Always good food and service here!

Went back recently and it was still so so good. I recommend the Kadai Mushrooms, mixed vegetable curry, and onion kulcha. They really delineate vegan dishes, which is great for me. They also have a good naan called Aloo paratha. read more

Indian Masala does NOT have a buffet (I called them Dec. 29, 2023). Yelp lists them as having a buffet.

We've been going to the grocery store for special items for a few years, they have all kinds of awesome things! We finally got to try their food and it was amazing! One of, if not the best Indian food we've had in Grand Rapids! We ordered a bunch of things. Started with paneer pakoras and veggie Samosas. Both delicious! The sauces with the paneer were so good! We had the garlic naan and onion kulcha. The fluffiest naan I've had, the kulcha definitely had some spicy chiles. We shared the butter chicken and chicken tikka. The chicken tikka comes with the chicken itself separate from the sauce and you get to choose your sauce. I loved how I could really taste the spice on the chicken tikka this way and it wasn't soaked in sauce. We got the curry sauce with ours. Both dishes were excellent! Chicken was so tender and huge portions! We will absolutely be back and excited to try some more interesting things! read more

Food was on point had my chai tea on my visit. Very friendly staff and very convenient if you come from the airport and going to Grand Rapids it is on the way. Spacious space parking lot in from of the restaurant. Kids got Tandoori Chicken and I got eggplant stew with white rice. read more

Amazing customer service by the staff at the counter & the variety of food served here

Awesome authentic Indian food. Best on the west side of the state! Spice level is very mild - we ordered medium hot and I would say it compares to a 4 on the level of spicy food we have tried across the world. read more

Will order for takeout again! Easy to order online through Yelp / GrubHub with an extensive menu. Food was hot and stayed warm. I always get butter chicken and curry goat. Husband gets chicken vindaloo super spicy (he likes things on fire and could have used more spice). Got chicken Biryani for the kids, but was a little spicy. First time trying Samosa Chat and will be ordering again! The picture on the online menu is what got me interested. Instead of samosas topped with stew, it is samosas drowned in stew as shown in the picture, but I still loved it! All the flavors are just like when I add all the chutneys on top of a samosa, but way easier to eat because no knife required! Plain naan from the clay oven was nice and warm in the foil. Raita yogurt and the sweet carrot halal dessert are nice accompaniments to mix with the meal. This was a LOT of food and we'll be eating yummy leftovers for multiple meals read more

Went in here 2 weeks ago. All waiters are wearing air pods and have no idea what a customer needs. The table was set for 2, we had 3, and they never brought napkins/plates/silverware for a 3rd person. I had to go up and get them. The Bryani was mixed with curry (not the traditional way of making this dish), and some of the appetizers were cold (the waiter informed us it's because they were served at lunch). It's unacceptable. Absolutely terrible establishment. I would choose another restaurant for your Indian cuisine. The two INDIAN individuals I brought were completely shocked I recommended this place. I will never make the mistake again. read more

The food here is really good! Stopped in with my wife for some Indian buffet and we were not disappointed. The restaurant was very clean, and the buffet very well-stocked. When I stop at a buffet, I like to have plenty of options to choose from, and sample. the options here were great! Plenty of cold and hot dishes, as well as spicy and mild. To my shame I can not put names to the dishes I tried, but I know I loved every single one of them! Indian Masala has become my new go to for Indian Buffet in Grand Rapids. Yum! If you plan on coming in for the lunch buffet, be sure to get here early, because it fills fast at noon. read more
