Greeted as we entered, felt welcomed. Love that. Said we could sit anywhere. We occupied a booth. Very clean throughout whole dining area. Nice menu. We ordered appetizers, Samosa and Paneer Pakora. Samosas were huge, 2 pieces. Paneer Pakora was perfectly stuffed and fried. Delicious! For our entree we ordered chicken tikka masala (creamy and flavorful), cheese naan (stuffed w/ the right amount of cheese) & basmati rice (light and fluffy). Everything was full of flavor. Their masala house chai was yummy! Try this place out! You will not be disappointed. read more

The food was pretty good! The staff were very friendly. And the place seemed clean. Butter Chicken was delicious, Rice & Garlic Naan was super good. I loved that they cut the chicken thinly to ensure an even cook. Bathroom seemed clean. However there was a really bad odor in there. Utensils were a little grungy in my opinion and probably need to be replaced. Apparently this place just opened 6 months ago. A lot of people came to pick up orders of food to go. Overall great experience hope to come back soon to try some different dishes. Really hope to see this restaraunt succeed! read more

Best Indian food in pitt, service was great and very nice especially shayann kumar which was a great server, and the overall ambiance was nice and calm, had that white indian vibe commonly found in most restaurants overall 5 stars read more

Took a star away for how SLOW service was on a slow day with only 3 other diners food was good, naan portion was way too small

Food is delicious. Service can take little time depending upon the order. Ambiance is not that great. Definitely worth trying. Subash cooks all the items with love and perfection. He keeps on checking if everything was good. read more

Have tried a few places in Concord and this one is at the top of the list. Samosas were great starters to share. Flavor was perfect and bountiful. We also got the chicken momo, which wasn't as flavorful as the rest. Everything we ordered was amazing but the Dal Makhani stole the show (at least for me). Will definitely be going back here read more

Went for their lunch buffet (available daily 11am-3pm $18.99 per person). We arrived around 1pm and got seated right away. Their popular items like the chicken tikka and tandoori chicken were already running low. They maybe refilled only once while we were seated and we probably would've eaten more if they refilled more frequently. Their naan is made fresh to order and you can choose between regular, butter, or garlic. I recommend the garlic naan! Chai tea is also included but you have to ask for it. Parking is free as well. Overall, worth trying and would probably go earlier than later when the food is full and fresh! read more

It was a little hard to find from the direction we were walking from. Luckily there was a pop up sign with their lunch specials on the side walk. They have a small parking lot adjacent but there was ample street parking. We were instantly greeted with big smiles and a warm welcome. The staff were all so nice! Once we let the hostess know we were there for the lunch buffet, she walked us over and explained the dishes to us. The selection wasn't huge, but was a nice variety. Once we had our first plate, the server asked what kind of naan we would like. Within ten minutes or so, a basket of garlicky hot naan arrived at our table. The eggplant and paneer dishes were our favorites. They each had a nice hint of heat. The fish and goat curries also had a little hint of heat. Nothing was overly spicy. So if you like it hot, this might not be for you. Overall, a great lunch option. Lunch buffet is from 11-3, adults $18.99. You can also just order from their regular menu which most of the other diners were opting for when we were in. read more

We were in the area for some furniture shopping and stopped by the place for afternoon snack. It is a small cozy place. Since it was late afternoon we were the only ones. The waiter was very courteous. We ordered veggie momos, chaat. Chaat was very good, momo was ok. Overall decent Indian place. We did not order any other dish. read more

My co-worker and I ordered via DoorDash for our lunch. They had a special menu for us. It was a special chicken curry lunch combo. Chicken Curry Lunch Combo: This came with our chicken curry, rice, two vegetable side dishes (paneer and potatoes with bell peppers), naan bread and dessert. I also got a mango lassi on the side as well for a drink. Overall, it was a delicious lunch combo. Fairly priced around $18 for the food, the chicken curry was plentiful and spicy. The paneer was good and the potatoes were flavorful. The dessert was alright and the mango lassi, though a bit runny, was refreshing. Overall, not a bad experience for the food. I can see myself coming back here again. read more

The door/window was dirty, they didn't have a buffet, even though the website said they would, the sign on the sandwich board outside was tiny & crinkled, the hours on their website were incorrect... When we walked in, the person at the counter didn't seem to know if/when the buffet would actually happen...we left. I wanted to support this new business but I can't do it... There was even a little sign on the door that said, "Do not leave your dog tied up in front of the door"... No ambience...dingy and barren. This business will be gone in a month if they don't get it together FAST. read more

I was excited to try Masala House after seeing all the great reviews but was a bit disappointed when arriving at the restaurant. The lunch buffet was depleted and was not replenished during my time there which was upsetting since it was roughly 1.5 hours before lunch buffet was set to end. The service was minimal, really no interaction aside from being seated and given water. We had to ask for naan, had we not asked I don't know if the waitress would have mentioned it. Restaurant was a bit too quiet in my opinion, I wish they had played some music for background noise. The food itself was good but did not stand out. I think it's hard to judge accurately since I was trying to scrape up the last bit of some dishes. The goat curry was probably my favorite aside from their naan. I do have to say that their naan is some of the best I've had in a while. It was perfectly thin, crispy, and with a light chew. They also had various flavors which I thought was nice since most places only offer either plain or garlic. read more

This is one of my favorite new discoveries in the area!! I originally stopped by here somewhere last month for a TGTG order and decided to order some butter chicken while I was at it. The owner(?) was super nice and gave me a free cup of mango lassi to drink while I waited for my order. It was amazing. It was delicious. In the current state of affairs, kindness goes a long way and that was super nice. I was sold. Ok enough with the dramatics--he mentioned that if I liked the butter chicken or the mango lassi (yes to both!!!), I should come back sometime since they had a lunch buffet every day from 11-3pm. It's $18.99 for a variety of AYCE Indian food. Say no more. Since then, we've been back twice and service has been lovely both times. The owner came out with a basket of fresh fluffy garlic naan and yes, you can request multiple baskets of this too. (It usually comes with 4-the picture only shows 3 because my SO swiped one before I could take the photo, haha.) The food choices change but the mango lassi has been a constant staple. (There are usually two drink options--last time there was a rose drink and this time there was a passionfruit sikhanji.) We even got freshly made (ginger cardamom?) chai! I'm not sure how I'm supposed to drink the chai I have at home anymore after having that, but I guess that just means I'll have to come back again sometime. The food options have included butter chicken, veggie pakora, egg curry, lamb vindaloo, chickpeas, chicken tikka masala, egg rolls, rice, paneer curry, biryani, kheer (a recent discovery that I really like!!), an Indian bread pudding (I forgot the name and am uncultured; I'm sorry)...there's definitely more but I'm blanking on the names. I usually eat enough that that's my meal for the whole day. Tis a steal, especially with prices the way they are these days. We're so glad we found this place and will definitely be back!! :] read more

I'm giving one star for the most delicious cooked food, I guess the chef is super talented and deserves a better place to work. Service: the server was super nice man but probably not trained by the owner, so not the server's fault. Their version of biryani is really sautéed noodles, they have it listed as biryani. Cleanliness gets zero as if the restaurant has no owners. Bathroom filthy and smelly. Restaurant sign was off even during business hours. Dust on the door and window curtain, very outdated interior in need for a good handyman to fix up. I guess open cuz of phone orders. The owner really needs to be held accountable for having a poorly managed restaurant. read more

This was our first time here and it is definitely not our last. Food and service was great. Staff checks in on you regularly. Food was hot and tasted freshly made. There was a few tables there and they also seemed to enjoy their food. Everything we ordered was great! - roti: great texture and flavor - garlic naan: love how it's not too overly thick or thin. Flavor was great. It was so good we ordered 2 more orders! - palak paneer: not too spicy and flavorful - palak tikka masala: also not too spicy. Super creamy and delicious! - butter chicken: I mean you can't go wrong! It was soooo good!! - basmati rice: plain and fluffy - guava spark: you can really taste the guava. read more

I instantly felt like I was back in my country the moment I got out of my car -- the location and vibe at Masala Place made that feeling immediate and real. We arrived around 8 PM and were welcomed with the same warm, energetic greeting you'd expect at opening time. Kumar, a young host, was absolutely the friendliest -- such a pleasant start to the evening. We ordered a bunch of dishes: veg fried rice (delicious), dal makhani (yum), jeera rice, a vegetable curry, garlic naan, pakodas (yum), chai, and mango lassi. But the standout was the veg chowmein -- it was bomb. It became everyone's favorite instantly and was the first dish cleared from the table. We even met one of the cooks who was super sweet. Bless you guys for being so amazing. This is seriously some of the best food around -- I'll definitely be back for those chowmein. Highly recommend! read more

It was very important to my partner and I to find a new Indian food spot quickly after moving. Masala House was nearby, highly rated, and had recognizable dishes we loved. We were hoping to make this our new go to spot. I got the vegetarian thali dinner. I have been spoiled with an incredible thali place for the past few years, and I was heartbroken when this one wasn't nearly on the same level. My main issue was that all of the dishes were extremely oily. For things like lentil and bean dishes, little to no oil is needed, and it was very prominent in every dish. You could see pools of oil pooling at the top, and after eating I felt heavy and weighed down from it. There was a satisfying amount of food between all of the thali dishes, which was appreciated. I also appreciated the vegetarian option for most dishes, giving me a variety of options to choose from, unlike some places where meatless options are limited. The naan bread was the star of the show here. It was cheesy, flavorful and delicious. One of the thali dishes was I believe a green lentil dish. Unsure of what it was, but that was the best dish out of them all. I'm unsure if they rotate the thali dishes, but a menu coming with the thali to explain each dish would be a wonderful idea. This way one could know which ones are personal favorites for the future. With so many delicious sounding dishes, incredible naan bread, and being nearby, I plan to return and give this place another shot one day. I'm truly hoping it was a fluke and next time won't be so oily. read more

Craving Indian food and found this place. Sort of hidden in a little strip mall. Plenty of parking in the adjacent lot. It's a small place and seems like a family run business. Everyone very welcoming and friendly. They have a lunch buffet for 18.99 every day. Fewer selections that some other Indian buffet spots but food was good and included things like goat curry, tikka masala, tandoori chicken and several vegetarian options. Free chai and mango lassi included! They also bring freshly made naan to the table. Great option for lunch buffet. read more

Food - Masala House Special Biryani Fire Chicken The quality of the food is so good with abundant amount. The spice is so good and delicious, but the spicy mean really spicy, so make sure to talk the order to adjust with spiciness. The owner is so nice and guide me how to pair with goat cheese in a proper way. Place is clean and lovely to dine in. Do not get fooled by the surrounding and no people. I can vouch for the quality of the food as I normally do not write recommendation. Honestly, the food quality and taste is far more worth than I pay for in this location. P.S - I will come back again. read more

Wow, I won't be back. I've been 7-8 times. I've left previous great reviews. I was here about a month ago. The buffet was empty, they kept promising refills, most never came. But at least i got Naan, water, etc. At the table. Cleared dirty plates. And, it was 130pm, so I attributed some to the time. A guy who'd been there every visit came over, chatted, offered that I should take home some assorted Naan,(I declined.i think he's the owner ). OK, one bad visit out of 7, not bad... I'll try again. Today I arrived 12:15. I took one of very few cleared tables. Went to the Buffet. Except for dessert, some tough fry bread, and a paneer dish, every tray was empty. They kept promising refills, but nothing for 15 minutes, then like a refill every 7-8 minutes. No one brought me water - i finally went and took a bottle from the fridge. No one asked about Naan. I asked several times, finally got some as I was eating dessert. I asked if i could get it to go... was told theyd bring me foil... never did I did finally get some butter chicken. Every time I asked, I was told they were waiting on Chefs. More than half the signs on the Buffet were wrong. I watched takeout after takeout go through. Many delays, incomplete orders. I heard two pickups ask about canceling. And, now, as I'm typing this... a different woman announces that theyre catching up from a power outage. They should probably have said that each time I asked about the delays. I was actually considering leaving $5 for the pakoras and walking out at one point. I also arrived sensitive to the empty buffet issue from previous visit. First time ever, no sign of the friendly guy I saw every previous visit. A fellow diner told me they've opened a new location in Pittsburg and things have suffered in Concord.... maybe he's in Pittsburg. Edit: I wanted to update two things. 1. Thevwoman working the frontnof house was busy. It's not like she was just sitting around or playing on her phone. Maybe they need more staff. 2. The food is good. The few things I got today were good. I stand by my decision not to return for the buffet, but I might go for dinner, or if the area, get carryout. I loved this place... but 2 consecutive bad experiences, I'll just go to Saroor instead of splitting my biz between the two. read more

Best Indian I've had in the area, maybe of all time. Very consistent. Great quality. Order on time. Friendly staff. You can actually adjust how spicy you want the food. Don't be scared by the exterior or how it isn't busy. It's really good. If you're a meat person, don't go for the combo. It has more vegetables overall. The naan is so good too. Crispy outside, soft inside, with butter. Then they include a little side dessert, is what I consider it. Please support them! read more

I came on Monday, June 1st. It was around 6 pm. Not very busy which I enjoyed. My partner and I ordered Butter Chicken, garlic naan, and cheese naan. The food was genuinely so delicious. I'm giving a one star review because there wasn't one but TWO hairs in my food. There was a hair in the cheese naan and the Butter Chicken. When I showed the man at the register he stared at me and just offered to throw it away. No apology. No suggestion to make it right. I WISH I took a picture. I have no reason to lie as I admit, the food was delicious. I fear I would never return due to the way this was handled and just overall sanitary reasons. There were also a lot of fruit flies which I tried to dismiss due to the rather hot day. read more

Masala House - Fire chicken biryani - Indian Near Me - Pittsburg, California

I love Indian restaurants that offer all you can eat buffet option. And I'm so glad I found this one on Yelp and I knew right away I had to try it. First of all, the all you can eat buffet option is available every day (including weekend) at a fixed price of $18.99 per person. I came today to try it, and I was really happy with the food selection that they made available. Food: They had curried okra, goat curry, chicken tikka masala (of course), vegetable biryani, basmati rice, chicken pakora, paneer pakora, and other savory options. For desserts they offered fresh fruits, gulab jamun (donut holes soaked in syrup), and creamy rice kheer. The food was delicious. My favorite was the vegetable biryani, chicken tikka masala, and chicken pakora. They also brought us a fresh basket of butter naan which went really well with the chicken tikka masala. The chicken tikka masala was very thick, creamy, and savory with a prominent tomato flavor. And the chicken chunks in the sauce were really tender. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Beverages: And don't sleep on the drinks. They offered pineapple lemonade, which was really nice and refreshing, and mango lassi, which was so indulgently creamy with a yogurt note. Service: I also would like to highlight how wonderful and great the service was. The staff behind the register (maybe the owner?) was super friendly. His service was above and beyond. As soon as we came in, he greeted us and, after we told him that we were there for the lunch buffet, he gave us a tour to show all of the food that they had to offer as part of the buffet option. And he personally brought to our table a fresh basket of butter naan. Amazing service. Ambiance: The restaurant looked nice on the inside. It was neat and clean. Parking: Parking could be a little tough during lunchtime, but it was manageable today on a Friday around noon. The parking spot that we got was super tight, but thankfully I got a tiny car. Lol. I would definitely come back to this restaurant, which I can see become my go-to Indian buffet in Concord. read more

I grew up in New Jersey and thought I knew what good Indian food was like - this is one of my favorite Indian buffets I have ever been to in my life! Service is amazing and all the food is fresh. You will get a selection of Indian food you do not see as part of normal buffets, plus, lassi and lemonade is also part of the buffet. I also appreciate that the naan is made fresh to order - we will be back! read more

Love this little restaurant. It's very homey feeling and the customer service is wonderful. The woman who served us was very kind and a man who I believe was the owner, checked on us as well, he was kind also. Food was awesome and when I mentioned the dessert (Rasmali) was a bit overcooked, the chef remade a small portion for me to try on the house, which was much improved. Everything was amazing from the chai, to the raita, to the pouris, rice, and chicken tikka kabob. read more

Tried this place for the first time via DoorDash delivery and was impressed with the generous amount of food that came with the lunch combo! I ordered the Butter Chicken Lunch Combo, which I highly recommend - it comes with steamed rice, butter naan, butter chicken, and 2 veggie sides. They even included a free dessert with my order that wasn't mentioned in the item description - delicious rice pudding! The portion was large; I had more than enough food for my meal and had 1/3 left over after I was full. Everything was tasty and flavorful! My favorite was the naan, which I of course dipped in the butter chicken sauce. For the spice averse, I ordered it mild and it still had a slight kick that added nicely to the flavor. I look forward to trying Masala House in person next time! read more

Wanted to love their lunch buffet, especially after the good reviews, but it was lackluster. The selection is very tiny in comparison to other Indian restaurants, and some of the food I had was stale. Everything was bland too. Dessert selection was a stale "bread pudding" which was just sweetened slices of day old bread. A real bummer. read more

The garlic naan did not disappoint, much fluffier than others. We actually did a side-by-side taste test today of another Restaurant's garlic naana and this restaurant's are much better, softer fluffier! Good job! The qorma with scallops was very watered down and not spicy enough and the daal was a bit too ghora, but we will try again. I look forward to trying more dishes from here that are vegan especially . I'm excited to try the vegan dishes in the buffet as well. Hope to be back soon to try it all. read more
