The weekend buffet is an extraordinary way to try Indian food Can't handle spice, avoid the red items. Just amazing. Byo yes Dosas every Thursday all you can eat for $15 I think. Limited in choice, but still plenty to choose from. Do you think you don't like Indian food, well you haven't been here These people provide a superior product. So go read more

We ordered pickup. It was ready in half the time stated so that was awesome. We got chicken tikka masala as we always do and it was flavorful but I wish it was hotter. The naan was just okay and I thought a bit overprice. The gobi Manchurian was incredible though, I wish I got two. I forget the name of the chicken dish we got but it was waaay too salty so it was basically inedible. That's the only reason they're getting 4 stars though. I've gotta come back here for a dosa ** note to self. read more

So I was eager to try this place after reviews- horribly dirty windows coming in. I ask for sauces with samosa and I was given "ketchup"?! We had to remind the clueless waitress of our coke 3 times Was given a can , no glass ? No straw ??? The food took forever and was mediocre at its finest Go with your gut people If they can't even clean the door , could you imagine what kitchen looks like... the waitress looks like a deer in headlights everywhere we ask a question read more

We have been to the weekend buffet at Madness of Masala three times this year and that's saying a lot because we rarely go back to places that often. My wife in particular is a huge fan of the buffet and on one occasion, she even got her friends visiting from New Jersey to meet us there so that her friend and her husband - both foodies themselves - could try out the buffet. *What's* *Great*: 1) Extensive Selection: They have a wide variety of items - both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Something I particularly like is that the non-veg options include mutton - something few Indian buffets seem to include. I believe every time we have been there they have also had a fish item, although I have generally found that item to be an afterthought and not as worthwhile as the mutton item, which is pretty good. 2) Fresh Variety: There's enough variety so even though we have gone back on a few occasions, we have found new items to try. That keeps the place fresh. 3) Good Refill Policy: Unlike several other buffets - Indian, American, Chinese you name it - where restaurants try to keep costs manageable by simply not refilling their trays, these guys are good about refills. 4) Solid Service: Service is good. They are generally good at refilling waters or clearing out dirty plates even if one has to occasionally ask them to do those things because the few staff members there are managing several different activities at the same time, including keeping the buffet trays refilled. 5) Separate Veg/Non-Veg Tables: For anyone going in who is vegetarian, they can take some comfort in the fact that the veg and non-veg items are on separate tables. Thus there is little chance of someone using a serving spoon from the non-veg section of the buffet over to the veg section of the buffet. *What* *Needs* *Improvement*: 1) Tiny Bathrooms: I find the two bathrooms to be extremely small. In terms of size, they would surely compete with airline bathrooms. As Indian food is generally consumed by one's hands, I definitely wash my hands before starting to eat and occasionally, I will wash my hands in between plates so that I can take my next plate of food more easily. But every time I go to the bathrooms, I have to be very watchful of the tight space I am in. 2) Spiciness of the food: The food here tends to be on the spicier side. For my wife and I who grew up in India, that is not an issue but for my daughter who's lived here her entire life, she does find most items very spicy. On our last visit when I mentioned this to one of the wait staff, he noted that the kitchen would be happy to make something for the little (6-year old) girl upon our request. 3) Unclear Pricing: The first time we went there - likely around February 2025, I believe we were charged $20 per person but when we went again in April, we were charged $22 a person. I was unclear of whether the prices had increased in the two-month period (unlikely) or whether the person charging us $22 had simply made a mistake. I JUST checked as I was writing this review and in spite of looking at their webpage and their Instagram page, I still don't know exactly how much their weekend buffet is priced at. They should fix that. 4) No Knives Available: Another minor thing is that they do not have knives and that proved to be an inconvenience for our guests. Bottom Line: All in all, this is the best Indian buffet out there - slightly better (although a bit more expensive) than Aman's Indian Bistro in Phoenixville, the only other buffet I know of in the area. On any given weekend, when going out, Madness of Masala is always an option for us as we enjoy the wide assortment of items available. read more

I usually like to try different restaurants rather than going back to the same spots, but I kept raving about this restaurant to my partner. We tried their weekend buffet, it's $20 from 12-3pm. It's honestly worth every penny, you get to try so many different foods and for that price I don't feel the need to gorge myself to get my money's worth. They also had chai and mango lassi as drink options. Service was better this time around, there was only 2 people working but they kept trays refilled and cleared out plates at a reasonable time. The ambiance isn't really worth taking note but I take good food over aesthetics. Definitely would return! read more

Truly the best Indian food in Southeast PA! The dishes are the most authentic you will find anywhere. While they serve the Indian standards their expertise is in authentic south and north Indian that you don't ever see on other menus. We ordered andhra chicken and palak dal. Both were first time tries and nailed the flavor! We have never had a bad dish from here and always feel good about trying something new! If you aren't sure check out the buffet on the weekends. Every option is done perfectly. They truly know their Masalas!! read more

One of our local favorites. BYOB and enjoy. Everything we have tried has been really good. Great for takeout as well. read more

When we first got to this place, we were not sure we made the right decision as there was just a couple eating there on a Friday dinner time. There was no music and the decor is mediocre. There is a section where they sell frozen stuff and drinks.. like a small marketplace We ordered our food and waited for about half hour. But when we got our food, it was really delicious and the southern spice is really unique and it is not like any Indian restaurant. Highly recommend it just based on the taste of the food. By the time we got our food, more and more people came and it was actually full! read more

My friends and I ordered varying dishes to try because we aren't very acquainted with this type of cuisine. The Dahi Puri was my favorite because the yogurt was a unique surprise that left me craving for more. It's nothing like I've ever had, and I'm glad I got to experience it. The Chaat was the star for our table because there was a burst of flavors that is unfamiliar to our taste buds and left us feeling full and satisfied. The service and ambiance was not particularly noteworthy, but our meal was the most important aspect of our dining experience. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our delightful, affordable dinner, and I plan on coming back! read more

New Indian restaurant in Trooper area. They are young South Indian owners who serve regional food with the North Indian classics as well. Food tasted more fresh and homestyle in a good way. Haven't tried their dosas yet. They offer a buffet on the weekends for $19.95 with a wide selection of items. Gobi Manchurian was great as well as some South Indian vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes. Chicken tikka were large boneless pieces of chicken cooked in a tandoori oven. Items could have been warmer even though the buffet just opened. Lamb/mutton and some chicken dishes have bones which is authentic. Masala tea had good ginger and cardamom flavor. Staff was super friendly but new to the role of restauranteurs. read more

Madness of Masala is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The food was quite flavorful. Our patient server did a great job of helping us select some tasty choices. Portion sizes were large. I'm looking forward to having leftovers tomorrow. I will definitely return. The food quality and service were first rate. A huge dinner for four was about $100 (an excellent value). read more

Ordered pickup chicken tikka masala and garlic naan last night for a change of pace. The food was excellent and perfectly spiced. The chicken, peppers, and onion were wonderfully tender in a rich sauce. I was pleasantly surprised and plan to return to this restaurant for a different dish. read more

Take a look at this charming Indian restaurant. I absolutely love the food! I've enjoyed dining in and also ordered takeout for a work party. Everyone who tried it at my workplace had positive feedback about the food. Excellent quality at a great low price. read more

The butter chicken was amazing!! It had a ting of spicy with excellent savor. Godwilling, we will be back :)

This place was a complete surprise. We found if the item starts with "MAMA" get it. Samosa and Pakora were outstanding. Not heavy with grease. Service as awesome read more

My review is biased towards vegetarian options: For a $20 buffet, No good vegetarian options in the buffet. Poorly managed, not a lot of vegetarian options, taste is also okay. I will not repeat it again. Sorry! read more

Absolutely delicious weekend buffet. Pea curry and chili chicken stand out as well as the goat curry. The staff is wonderful and remember me from my prior visits. It's more casual dining but the service is top notch. Love mom. read more

Excellent food, great spice level and rich flavors. Service was fast and smooth (Sai was great) and the restaurant was neat and well-decorated. Sambar could have been a little thicker and the paneer could have used some more salt, but the flavors and portions were great! read more

I've eaten a lot of Indian food in my time; if banished to a deserted island with only Indian food, I'd be more than satisfied. Madness of Masala is easily the best Indian food I've had in the US, and possibly better than much I've eaten in India. If dining in, you must be patient for great food, so don't expect it instantly. Service was friendly and helpful. I ate the Hyderabadi paneer masala - smoky, savory, and unique. It was so good I was almost emotional. I can't wait to try more of the menu and get takeout. Absolutely amazing food. read more

We were very pleasantly surprised by the vast choice of the buffet. Excellent authentic food (some spicy! Awesome!). The place is not very big, all clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. We will be back soon! read more

We had dinner here last night and this new place didn't disappoint at all! Not only is the food authentic and delicious, the service is excellent too! The server took the time to explain the menu to us. We ordered 7 different dishes - 3 appetizers and 3 entrees - every one of them is unique and good. The appetizer Gobi 65 (Gobi = Cauliflower) is delicious, and I usually don't like cauliflower! I will order the dish again. We were told they order their spices directly from India!! If you like Indian food, you have to visit this place! The food here is unlike other Indian restaurants I have been to. read more

I'm so happy we came to Madness of Masala! The portion sizes are large but perfect for sharing as everything was delicious. I was particularly impressed with how flavorful and enticing everything was. The food was spicy but did not overpower the rich flavors. The Gobi 65 was a favorite amongst our group but I was pleased with everything I tried. Our server was kind and attentive. I will definitely be returning to Madness of Masala! read more

We are so happy to find an Indian Buffet near us! The restaurant is nondescript but the food is well-spiced and delicious!

Was here three times, not a single time it opens on time. If you can't open at 11:30 don't say you open at 11:30 say you open at 12. Every single time it opens at least 20 minutes late. Food is okay, doesn't worth the price. There are literally five other Indian food within walking distance, was only here for the weekend buffet, never going back again. read more

Review is for the weekend buffet I would not recommend the buffet here The dishes were not to my taste, nor were they ones I particularly like. Buffet refills were intermittent, and naan ran out regularly. The interior is plain but serviceable The food did seem very popular with local Indian families, to the extent that there was not enough seating during most of my stay One high point was the dessert read more

Called ahead for a late lunch/early dinner for a party of eight. Our table was waiting for us when we arrived. Most in our party were not too familiar with Indian food. Cy our waiter gave concise and complete explanations of the main type of dishes. In response to our request he made specific suggestions for somosa/pakora-like appetizers, as these were not on the menu: Baby corn Manchuria and Gobi 65 (dry). These dishes were excellent! All the food was incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. We especially enjoyed the Chicken tikka masala, Butter chicken masala, Mama special chicken pulao and Hyderabadi red chicken. The naan was wonderful (and fresh out of the oven), and the chai was well balanced. Spice levels were just as requested. Service was leisurely; I assume because all dishes were prepared from scratch. Madness of Masala is welcome addition to our area. We will definitely dine there again. read more

Service was pretty quick and the staff was nice. Enjoyed the food thoroughly, very tasty.

My husband and I checked out Madness of Masala on a Saturday evening after a recent snowstorm. There was one other couple seated when we arrived and an additional couple arrived during our meal. We are regular Indian food connoisseurs and found the menu to include some of the items that we are used to but also quite a few unique dishes. After speaking with the waiter, we found out that they serve more traditional Southern Indian while a lot of Indian restaurants are typically Northern Indian. We took some recommendations and made an order consisting of: garlic naan, egg majestic (appetizer), Mama special methi paneer (their version of palak panner), and chicken tikka masala. Service was quite slow. The entrees arrived after at least 30 minutes of waiting and the appetizer showed up after the entrees, which was communicated to us that the chef said the egg majestic was taking longer than usual to prepare. While the service has a lot of room for improvement, the staff is very nice (offered a free mango lassi as a thank you for waiting) and the food was AMAZING. Portion sizes were large and I got 2 extra meals from my methi paneer along with the egg majestic and garlice naan. I will definitely order from here again but maybe only do takeout until they are a little more established. read more

Went there today for the lunch buffet, available on the weekend. Excellent food and service. Hope they, in the future, extend the buffet to weekdays. read more

Friendly, great food, good spice level. Did pick up this time, might try the buffet on weekend. Definitely will try again!
