    Iced chai with oat milk
    Julie C.

    I was very excited to stumble upon this Kolkata Chai location (sharing a space with Inday) walking about in Williamsburg. I get their ads on Instagram all the time and had wanted to try their chai before placing an order. I love chai but too many cafes load it with sugar, and I was hopeful that Kolkata would be more tea and spices than sugar. I walked into a bright but calming space to be greeted by a very nice and friendly gent. I proceeded to order an iced chai (note: oat milk only, and on tap) and asked about the sweetness level. He said it was lightly sweetened, but the way he made it today might make it a little sweeter than usual. So he offered me a sample to make sure I liked it before I ordered! We both tried it, and it was excellent. He noted that the sweetness level is what they aim for, and it is indeed light and complementary to the tea and spices. The chai's spices really come through, almost a bit savory but nonetheless comforting and delicious. In a thoughtful touch, they use big ice cubes, keeping the chai cold while melting slowly and not diluting it. I can't speak to the other locations, but this place is pretty terrific! It's definitely in my saved list for a return visit.

    After walking around Williamsburg for miles in the middle of the summer, my partner and I wanted something to cool off with. Thankfully we walked by Kolkata because we love Chai! The drinks were wonderful, very flavorful and uplifting. We sipped on them while walking and it was the perfect compliment for an afternoon bouncing around Brooklyn. The inside of this place was nice and clean. We had really friendly service from the barista and will visit again when we are craving Chai in BK.

    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.

    Made it before the cut off time for their lunch special which is 3:00pm. I called over the phone…read moreand the staff was very patient with me. 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.

    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.
