Pakora sampler
Caroline J.

The food quality at this establishment has gone downhill. Not sure if they had a chef change, but was very disappointed with the flavors of the butter chicken and the makhni paneer. No flavor at all and will not be back because of that. Service is still very good and friendly. It is beautiful inside with a great vibe! The food items that were good were the garlic naan, the vegetarian appetizer and the masala chai tea. The Indian beer was also good. My dad did say his lamb dish was good as well.

Definitely my new favorite Indian food spot in Williamsburg. The food was so flavorful and the service was just amazing. We ordered Crab Masala and Chicken Sarson Ka Saag (both level 2 spice). The meat for both was so soft and the crab masala was the best thing I've ever tasted. So smooth and creamy and the crab chunks were pretty big.

Marsala Craft is a true Williamsburg treasure. As someone who has dined here multiple times, I can confidently say the restaurant remains consistently excellent. The atmosphere is lovely, the service is friendly and attentive, and the food is simply outstanding. For those not familiar with Indian cuisine, the staff is great at explaining the menu and making recommendations. For those who love Indian food, you can rest assured they do things right here. Everything is fresh and can be made as spicy as you like. We've loved every dish, from the lassi and the chaat of the day to the main courses. As a starter, I highly recommend the Assorted Vegetable Sampler and the garlic is always a must-have, it's absolutely excellent. For the main course, you can't go wrong with the Tandoori Chicken Tikka and Cauliflower Mushroom Steak. Both are very delicious and made as spicy as you can handle. The portions are generous, so you'll definitely have leftovers to enjoy later. The combination of amazing food, an excellent wine list, and a wonderful atmosphere makes Marsala Craft the best Indian restaurant in Williamsburg. Their drink selection also complements the food perfectly; the Rupee IPA, in particular, goes exceptionally well with the spicier dishes.

The appetizers were delicious. I wasn't able to capture photos of the appetizers, but my favorite was the fried cauliflower dish. As for the meal, this is where the service went wrong for me. My meal said that it included rice. Everyone else at the table was served a gigantic bowl of rice and when I told the server I didn't receive my bowl of rice for the curry, he was rude and embarrassed me in front of my table and other guests and said I could share rice with others at my table. It's cold and flu season so I don't feel comfortable sharing food. Needless to say, when I was later offered rice by the server I denied it because at this point I'm annoyed and he had already made me feel embarrassed in front of the people I was with. I ended up eating my curry with no rice. It wasn't good enough curry for me to enjoy it without rice to be completely honest. There is no reason a restaurant like this should have individual meals that promise rice as a side and then serve rice "family-style". I put family style in quotations as normally this dining style would include one meal being selected for the whole table to pass around and share. As for the flavor of the curry, I wasn't impressed. Overall, my experience yesterday at Masala Craft wasn't great. I'm hoping this was just an off experience.

We love India food. Greeted right away and it looked really busy . We were seated in 5 mintues. Tables were really close together and I am usually not a fan of that but the people at the adjoining table were so nice. Inside is really an upscale restaurant so it was a wonderful experience. The service was impeccable. Very attentive and friendly. We all loved it!! My only negative thing is that I wish with the appetizer I can order quantity. We ordered the punjabi samosa. Excellent by the way but there were 3 of us and we only got 2. Crisp and flavorful. Tikka Masala-great flavor, perfect amount of sauce to chicken ratio. Everything was steaming hot. My favorite. I got a 3 heat and it was perfect. Vindloo-great flavor, I had never had this before and I have to say I will be getting again and again. Got a 4 heat level and at first it is perfect but as you continue to eat it feels like it gets hotter. But still super yummy The Naan Bread was very fresh and I always get the garlic. It was so great I ordered more. I have to say I ate too much . It was wonderful. Chennai style Chicken Curry-excellent flavors. Got the 3 heat and that was perfect for us. Creamy and just the right amount of sauce and chicken and the rice was also seasoned. Basmati rice made perfect. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Ambiance
Ravi G.

Loved every part of this restaurant. Family-owned and operated with authentic and creative dishes. Ordered the chicken and paneer tikka masalas which were delicious and fresh and plentiful in protein. Then ordered galab jamun and ghee bundt cake which were served warm and melted in your mouth. The ghee bundt cake was something we've never had and I would go back just for that in a heartbeat. A must try. The ambiance and table settings are immaculate as well. This restaurant should not be missed if craving Indian and in the area.

House salad

This place is always wonderful; it's our favorite Indian restaurant, called Masala Craft. We usually visit once a month, and each time we arrive, we're reminded of how great the space is. The atmosphere is inviting, the vibe is fantastic, and the people are friendly. Today, we enjoyed the seafood Kasundi and salmon with garlic naan, which is always fresh. Our usual appetizer is the house salad, featuring a delicious cinnamon vinaigrette. If you're in the area, I highly recommend trying this place! Will certainly return.

The butter chicken is absolutely amazing and that drink was just" what the doctor ordered". This restaurant was clean and beautiful.
Tina V.

Everything was delicious and the cocktails were so very good!!! I had the butter chicken and my daughter had the chicken Marsala . The drink was excellent and just what the doctor ordered! Beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommended and will definitely be returning

Lunch specials
Cherie O.

Yay! They have Papadams offered as Papads so incredibly delicious! Thin and crispy served fresh and hot which I eat without any sauce though my hubby likes the mint one. I had jumbo crab Marsala and hubby had chicken vindaloo. I asked for 2 out of 5 vs. hubby's request for 7 out of 5 for spiciness. He said it was well spiced but not enough. Hey, I know.

Tandoori prawns

I ordered takeout. Got the palak kulcha and the shrimp tandoori. Both were fantastic! The portion size was VERY large, I had enough for 3 meals.

Absolutely delicious! Many gluten free options marked on the menu. The service was great as well, and it was super clean! 100% recommend.

Mango Rupee brewski!

Absolutely incredible food, service, and ambience! Family owned and operated, you get to speak to THE chef during your meal. I come to this area every quarter for work and have experienced many Indian food options over the past couple of years, and this place takes the win on authenticity and taste! Whether you're in for your standard butter chicken or wanting to try their unique tandoori chicken, this place offers options that will make your mouth water. A must try from this place is the Mango Rupee beer--it's great if you're trying the spicy options to give that refreshing finish. Their naan is made fresh and comes out piping hot! If you're daring enough, I recommend trying out the bullet naan--baked with fresh Serrano peppers and other spicy fixings. The family who owns this amazing establishment all works in house, the bar, server, and chef. You can just feel the warmth of their hospitality from entrance to exit. For locals and visitors alike, please make sure you check this place out!

Samosas
David O.

Once again a delicious meal! I live spicy foods, so it's a treat when I order a spice level of 5 out of 5 when teh cook actually listens and makes it that way. Too often I hear "we didn't think you'd eat it that way, so we made it milder-just add hot sauce. That completely changes the flavor. Here, they cook their foods to the spice level requested (wife is not as bold as I am, and she is happy with spice level she requests). Keep up the good work!

Pretty delicious curry place in Yorktown. It wasn't busy. That's my only concern! I don't know why…read morebecause the food was really good. It was a little pricey and maybe that's the issue? For the garlic naan And my curry it was $30! I had a really good flavor. Huge chunks of cheese which I love! I really like that garlic naan. Just enough garlic to not be overpowering but at the same time, not bland. I really enjoyed the food here. Cool pictures of India on the wall. Server was a nice guy!

I'm not a huge fan of Indian spices like cumin or curry but husband really enjoys so tonight we…read moretried a new place. It's a plus that they are open till 10 which is later than some other Indian restaurant in our area. It's a casual restaurant and bar. The bar has a few seats at the bar and pickup counter. The tables are simple with a napkin dispenser. Seats are cushioned but with a metal back. When we arrived we approached the counter and were asked if we were dinning in. We were told to pick a table and the server brought us each a bottle of water. After ordering he brought us plates with silverware wrapped in a napkin. The restaurant is pretty bright with overhead fluorescent lights but they tried to soften them with decorative panels which adds to the overall look of the place. We also had a masala tea which is served hot in a small styrofoam cup and it was creamy and delicious. Our food arrived quickly. My husband had the goat vindaloo which is tomato based and has potatoes. He got it medium spice. It was served with basmati rice. The rice and entree are served in different bowls so you can decide how much you want. I had butter chicken that also came with basmati rice and I got it mild spiced. It was really good. We share a garlic naan and then I had a rice pudding for dessert. Those were also delicious. The servings were just the right size and I took half of mine home. They had small plastic bowls with lids for my saucy food and desert and styrofoam containers for the naan and rice. Overall dinner was very reasonably priced, great flavors, clean, quiet, good atmosphere, friendly service and about $56 before tip. This place definitely makes me want to come back and try something else. I'd definitely recommend. They also had a good amount of takeout orders so you can grab something while in Yorktown near Parks Orthodontics.

Two weekends ago, Sophia and I headed here for lunch. We decided to stay in the Peninsula due to…read moreother stuff she had planned in the morning. During our visits here, we've hardly had any issues with meals we ordered. Shall we get into the details? Foot traffic was minimal when we arrived and were seated immediately. We were served water and their homemade chai tea. The vibe was welcoming with soft music playing in the background. After a few minutes, we were ready to order. I selected their chicken schezwan hakka noodle dish along with garlic naan bread to share with Sophia. The noodle dish was very good. I chose the mild spice and it was just right. There was so much served it took me three meals to finish the whole plate. Unfortunately, the garlic naan was underwhelming. When we received the order, it was hard to chew and the garlic taste wasn't strong. Usually, naan is soft when served, but not this time. Despite the naan disappointment, both of us walked away full. A dish like this I could order again the next time we stop by. Till next time :)
