Excellent, excellent food all around. Service is very slow and could use an upgrade, but the wait is worth it.

I lived in the DC area for many years and have missed great Indian food, today was my second visit to Masala Craft and the food is amazing. The staff is amazing as well. The portions are plentiful and the flavor is great and you can pick your heat level. When you go in to an Indian restaurant and see Indian families eating there it's a good sign its good food. There are so many dishes I like and some I have never had and want to try, I will go often. read more

This was great date night spot! It can be pricey depending or what you order but the food is great! Just know that a 3mild is on the Spicy side!! read more

We dined at Masala Craft on a recent visit to Williamsburg and I must say it was the best Indian food I've eaten in a long time. Our group of six had a lamb tandori, mango shrimp, salmon tandori and chicken masala but the most tasty dish, in my opinion, was the crab masala. The service was attentive and personable and the restaurant was well-maintained with a great ambiance. We thoroughly the experience and I'd highly recommend this restaurant. Kudos! read more

This place is amazing! The best Indian food we've ever had! Nice ambiance and great service. We will be back soon to try more delicious dishes. read more

Food is excellent, service is a little slow. Try to get here at least once a month. Have a given me a great appreciation for Indian cuisine

Probably my favorite restaurant in Williamsburg, and some of the best Indian food I've ever had. Couldn't recommend it enough. Ma's Baingan Bharta is my favorite dish. read more

A nice family-owned restaurant with good service, very pleasant service staff, and decent food. We went on a Saturday evening and they did their best to promptly seat us. They were considerate to special requests me made. They gladly made wine and drink recommendations when we asked. We ordered relatively simple dishes which were all quite good, but not necessarily extraordinary. read more

If you want food that tastes like a HUGE hug from a family member when you need comfort, dine here. The service is as great as the good. Honored to be a patron here read more

I've been here a few times and every time the food has been amazing, everything simply tastes so good. The service is great, the staff is always nice and understanding. The place itself is very clean, the decor is on point and the dining room was very well planned out. Best Indian food place in the area. read more

Our favorite Indian restaurant in Hampton Roads. We probably come here at least every other week. Family owned and operated. Super nice people. As authentic as it gets. The Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala are fabulous. read more

Stopped here excited to try this newer place in town. I live about 2 blocks from here so I was hoping to get some good food. The door sign clearly states open until 230 for lunch then closes until dinner again. Walked in at 210 and she says sorry but we stop serving at 2 and only excepting take outs. Welp! Won't be eating here ever. You just lost years of business from me cause I looooove Indian cuisine. Guess i'll stick with Spice Palace. read more

We ha a great lunch here today. The Tandoori chicken was boneless and perfectly cooked but sauce was very hot (1 on a scale of 1-5) served with Basmati rice. My wife had the coconut curry chicken. Great sauce, we brought home left over. Great new spot in town! read more

great food great service - terrible music!!! the worst most obnoxious echoey new age nonstop bad pretentious music. I'll order takeout from now on. read more

My second time dining here, both times were fantastic. Everything was on point. Fresh, vegan and gluten free options, the lamb saag was the BEST!!! read more

One of the worst experiences I've had dining out. No one came to ask us how our food was nor did anyone inquire if we needed a refill on our drinks. The meat was overcooked and dry and the sauce that came along with the dish of lamb raan and the mixed grill were served in a small dish used for serving condiments. And alas we weren't even asked if we wanted desert. Made me wonder if people of a certain complexion were not welcome in this eatery. I wonder if others received the same treatment. read more

I do not even know where to begin this review, other than to say if you like Indian food (or even if you don't)-- you need to visit Masala. It is my new favorite in Williamsburg and I would eat there every day if I could. The atmosphere, service, and wine selection are phenomenal. But beyond that... the food is out of this world. I have always liked a butter chicken but let me tell you, Masala's butter chicken will melt in your mouth. I can't eat/order anyone else's butter chicken now. It's the best I've ever had-- savory and just the right amount of spice. As a creature of habit, I typically order the same thing every time we go to a restaurant but with Masala, I always try something new. I am never disappointed and always leave with a new favorite. They are doing something special here. And just to make sure you didn't miss this, the service is exceptional-- both dine in and take out. read more

Absolutely one of the best tasting Indian food that I have had. Being in Williamsburg catering to the local community has maintained the authenticity of the the taste. Although I only had the Murg Muglai Massalam " a close relative if the butter chicken" it was spiced up to my request of a "4" . succulent boneless chicken with a finger licking gravy. After the first bite I switched to eating with my hand and literally wiped the plate clean. I requested the vey authentic accompaniment of raw red onions and jalapeño slices sprinkled with "chat masala" ( a mix of powders: dried mango, cumin, black salt, dried ginger and Chilli " it was a complete take back to my home town. the nan was just as delicious: light fluffy bread perfectly toasted in the tandoor. service and my conversation with the staff and chef topped my lunch experience This is a must if you are in Williamsburg and will be on my return trip. read more

All the 1 star and 2 star reviews are toddlers who don't like being told no. If you've never worked in a kitchen then it's easy to get mad when they won't stay open just to accommodate one customer. However, having worked both front of house and back of house, closing shop is not easy. It's long and arduous. Now that I've addressed that, let me just say WOW! I never thought I could fall in love with Indian food. But my partner and I continue to return. From the excellently crafted dishes to the friendly and warm service, everything is so beyond anything else we have experienced in the local area. The family run business is a welcoming experience. Sitting at the bar is a must because you are usually surprised at what recommendations the staff make. We were treated to Indian whiskey and wine, a first for both of us and an excellent pairing for our dishes. Thank you Masala Craft, never sacrifice your quality for quantity. read more

My husband and I think this is one of the very best restaurants in Williamsburg. We've dined there at least a half dozen times and tried a number of different entrees. Our experiences have always been outstanding. The food is well prepared and delicious and the service is friendly and attentive. The restaurant's decor is beautiful but comfortable. I would give Masala Craft 10 stars if I could! read more

Loved the setup arrangement, both inside and outside; loved the service and attention we were given; and loved the food! Definitely a go-back and bring friends place! read more

I have ordered out twice and sat at the bar twice for dinner. Foood is amazing!! Drinks are great and they really took the time to have a unique menu! Any cocktails ordered can be made virgin when requested. They have a great assortments of teas available and they have a bartender (can't remember her name) but she is very knowledgeable about cocktails and she provides amazing service. They always check on me and ask me how it is going. Very attentive and the food is very good. Way better than other places in town. Masala craft is small but cool because they have a fun bar that you want to take your best friend or a date to but if you are one of the boujee Williamsburg people that want a stuffy environment go to amiraj... read more

Awful management. Cant get through on the phone so we drove over to see about getting a table. Manager told hostess wed have to wait even though several tables were open. She said no those are 4tops. They were two two tops pushed together and we told her we tried calling for 45 minutes and were hung up on twice. She shrugged and said no you can wait. We left. Wont be back. Bad manager .. if the tables had been reserved we would have understood but to make a hostess stand there with open tables and tell people who are looking around your restaurant with at least 5 four tops with two diners at each (which we pointed out)and then not seat us was just ridiculous. Would give no stars if possible because management is tone deaf read more

The food was amazing! Never know this place existed in the cut of Williamsburg. I'll be returning. 4 stars because they were rushing us to hurry up since they were closing. read more

The food was delicious, the wait staff, server and everyone were very courteous. I am a Disco Dancer is a wonderful drink if u like some spice. Methi Malai corn is something different and delicious If you live in the area please support this restaurant. read more

I apply only 4 stars because it was our first visit. My husband and I absolutely love Indian food. Wherever we travel we do our research to find the best reviews and give the restaurant a visit with the hope that the reviews won't let us down. We are eager to share our experience that offers the promise of a special new Indian Restaurant in Williamsburg. We started as we often do with a vegetable samosa and a nice cold King Fisher. We have had many different samosas over time this recipe is quite good. Cloves are the pleasant added item that makes their samosa very tasty. I find the harder crust on samosas difficult to eat some times because they are harder to cut into. A more flaky crust to me would add to the wonderful finish. There is a twist to my usual Lamb Saag dish. Theirs is named Sarson Ka Saag ... and is made with Spinach and Mustard Greens. Vegetarians would enjoy the fact that the meat of your choice is an add on. Otherwise one would have just the sauce which is wonderful. My husband ... he chose his favorite Bangan ka Bhurta an eggplant dish. These are our 2 test meals. I was very pleased with the Saag. The first important item in Saag is the quality and tenderness of the lamb or goat. Each piece of my lamb was delicious. Tender. Good flavor. The sauce was excellent! There was a sprinkle of tinny colorful flowers on top of the dish when it was served. Magical. My naan special sipped up the sauce which was another mix of flavors. The combination of flavors throughout the experience were soooo satisfying. I liked the Bangan Bhurta which I of course had to taste. It was quite good but I always go for the Saag and this did not disappoint! The Naan too was unexpected. Several to choose from. Our lovely waitress who I later learned was the daughter of this family suggested that the chef (her father) could combine what I wanted onion and cheese in the pocket of the naan. Why not! A good test I find of a good kitchen. A simple request but quickly offered. The taste was delightful as well. Unexpected with the very small chopped up red and green sweet peppers mixed in with the cheese and the perfect amount of onion. Not overwhelming ... just the right mix. None of this naan came home with us. We did however have some regular naan which was also very good did come home to enjoy with the little bit of left overs. I have a good vibe from our new restaurant here in Williamsburg. The outdoor seating is nice too. A little close to the parking lot but they didn't let that bother them. A good choice. On a nice evening or afternoon it is always pleasant to sit outdoors. Many customers chose the outdoor seating. A good location. Plenty of parking. A welcoming atmosphere. I give it a thumbs up and 4 stars with more to come. My husband and I look forward to getting away from our old tried and true dishes and wading into more flavorful experiences of the Indian kitchen here at Masala Craft. This is what getting back to normal offers all of us who have been waiting to get out again. And, what a better place than a lovely new restaurant where we can enjoy the experience of wonderful food, drink, and the kindness of strangers! read more

Way too expensive for Indian food. Lot of other places to choose from locally. Wait staff seemed frightened out of there minds. Not sure why?? read more

This has risen very rapidly to become the go to restaurant for my wife and I. The family who owns the business are very gracious and provide exceptional customer service coupled with some of the best food of any variety you will experience anywhere! Food is served as spicy as you like, with the accent on flavor. Don't miss the chance to have a wonderful meal, try this gem ASAP! read more

Terrific atmosphere, presentation, and food. A nice addition to Williamsburg options. We are big fans of Indian and have high standards. This place hit the mark with its street food appetizer, dal, and chicken Tikka masala. We'll definitely return! read more

Really love this restaurant! The food is so delicious and the owners are very welcoming. I've been there a couple of times and it's consistently delicious. read more

As I'm sitting here eating two day old leftovers I'm reminded why I even downloaded this app in the first place. To give places that really deserve a 5 star rating 5 stars. Masala Craft is an outstanding experience and an even greater pleasure to get to taste. I ordered the house curry with chicken along with garlic Naan bread and let me tell you... This is the best food I've had in Williamsburg hands down. Anyone that even has the thought that they'd enjoy Indian cuisine, you MUST try this place. 10/10 couldn't give any higher praise read more

Food, service and atmosphere were all very good. Table of 6 who didn't have a lot of experience eating Indian food. Server was patient and made a lot of good recommendations. Will def return. read more

This was the best masala I've ever had. It was the perfect amount of spicy. The naan bread was also delicious and fresh!!!!

Quite possibly the best restaurant in Williamsburg. Great food and great bar. I've had almost half of the menu. My only complaint is that the prices are too high for the amount of food. We get mostly chicken dishes and there isn't much chicken. read more

I went there today for the first time and the food and the service were both excellent. I do not handle too much spiciness well and the food was just perfect. There is a huge selection of dishes to tempt anyone. The staff is attentive without hovering. A very pleasurable experience that I hope to repeat often. read more

I ate lunch, Saturday, May 29, 2021, at Masala Craft. I ordered the Paneer Makhni. It and the Naan were absolutely delicious!. My server was friendly, and wonderful. I had an appointment for a haircut, so I requested a box for take out. When I arrived at Cio Bella in Newtown, I realized I had left my leftovers at the restaurant. I called and asked them to save it, and I would pick it up after my haircut. I have accidentally left my food at restaurants before, and never bothered to go back to retrieve them, but this meal was too tasty to throw away. Great Restaurant, friendly service, deliciousness is guaranteed! read more

Excellent vegetarian menu. I'm a mildly spicy guy and I would say they are on the hot side. So veer mild on the spicyness. I'd say they are more on the authentic Indian spectrum. Great service. Cleared the table while we were still sitting. read more

Normally i love their food, but today(10/4/2023) they were really busy, and i don't think they could keep up - I'm 99% sure they watered down the food to make it so they could keep up with demand - it tasted like spiced water. I don't normally mind but they are rather pricey - so its a luxury i don't often get to enjoy - so i am rather disappointed that i spent $56 on something that i didn't even finish due to being watery(consistency AND flavor) - i really rather have waited a bit longer and received something i would actually eat instead of getting something that tasted so poor i didn't finish it - and i got it to-go so i was not able to do anything about it read more

I was surprised to see a couple of less than stellar reviews for this place. We had such a pleasant experience. The food was great but it's the staff that will keep us coming back. We ordered the vegetable platter, the assorted breads, the sea bass, and the chicken Tika masala and everything was yummy. We can't wait to go back and try more! read more

Excellent food..friendly service...nice decor...will go back often. jb from gloucester va read more
