Masala is my go-to everytime I wanna eat something good. This family and their cooks are CONSISTENTLY good every single damn time. Love their curry, biryani, and of course the butter chicken. I CANNOT recommend this anymore than anything in tri-cities. Masala never let me down read more

Ordered to go and pretty much ordered all the yelp popular items! Got the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, goat curry, chicken 65, butter naan, garlic naan, regular naan and mango milk shake. Everything was packaged well and all were very tasty! I think it'll taste even better if we ate in the restaurant and experienced everything. The online ordering process was pretty easy. read more

We got butter chicken and chicken briyani. The butter chicken was really sweet and lacking the flavor of spices typically in the dish. The Briyani also lacked flavor and the rice texture was hard. read more

Best Indian Buffet! we love their Dosa! Coconut chutney is so delicious! Been coming here for 10years and it still tastes the best! flavor has not changed! Owners are very friendly and respectful! read more

The food came out fast, the butter chicken had more of a sweet creamy taste, different than what I'm used to. The dosa was good though probably the only thing I'd order if I went again, kinda pricey though I thought it'd come with more sauces. The service was okay, the man that sat us down stood 5 feet away from us the whole time so it was awkward just seeing him next to us. Felt like I couldn't even talk. And then when we ordered he kept suggesting us to buy more things, even though we said no twice. The naan was alright too a little burnt. If you ever find yourself in Yakima wa I'd suggest Taj Palace for Indian, way better. The only plus was that this place sold Dosa. read more

See all

First time trying Masala and I was very impressed. Although it wasn't dine in, it was delivery. Food was ready quick and the delivery was also quick. Special instructions on spice level was spot on. I have to say that this is probably the best tasting Indian cuisine in the area compared to the others. I definitely recommend this restaurant and will for sure return to Masala when I have a craving for Indian cuisine. read more

Great Service, Great Food, we love visiting this place! Try the sweet and savory naan bread.

We arrived at opening the day after Thanksgiving and within 5 minutes, there were 3 other families so you can tell this place gets love. I sampled literally everything on the lunch buffet and they were delicious! My only sadness is that there was 1 paneer option and no masala oddly enough. Lots of vegetarian and lots of meat options but I just love paneer! But I guess since it's a buffet, there's only so many options they can make. All in all, delicious. And the owners/servers were very friendly. read more

We stopped by for dinner on our way through town. The food had great flavor. I was really tempted to go 5 stars because of it. Nice sweet and spicy flavors. I particularly enjoyed the mushroom masala, which was sweet. My daughter had a Mango Lassi which was good, and my wife's butter chicken had great flavor, also. The only notes on the food which weren't perfect were (a) the garlic naan was a bit dry (but had great flavor), (b) the rice seemed like a cheaper short-grain asian-style rice, rather than basmati or other medium/longer-grain rices, and (c) the chicken (in the butter chicken) was cut into pretty large chunks, and just wasn't quite as appetizing in that format (needed to be cut with a knife). Service was friendly. But the other things holding me back from a 5-star review are (a) pricing seemed a tad high for a town like the Tri Cities (approx $20pp), and (b) the indoor decor was a bit shabby, and could use some cleanup/modernization. All-in-all, we had a great meal and I would definitely recommend it. read more

The lunch buffet is amazing with 20 or so varieties of vegetarian and meat options. The restaurant is clean and the owners are very attentive. Every dish was delicious and the tandoori chicken was well seasoned and plentiful. The owners are a family and its home cooking from south India.. Not salty some spicey just the perfect blend for anyone. The booth was comfortable and they kept restocking the food dishes. The dessert of fruit in a mango sauce was really delicious and the warm bread pudding in Indian spices was the best I've had. Overall, superb food, clean restaurant with indian music for the ambiance and the owners checked on every booth and table to fill waters/drinks. This is the best indian restaurant and with the buffet you can try so many different dishes. read more

Was craving some Indian food and saw this highly rated place so I just had to come in and try it. Their menu has a wide variety so I was super excited to try some items that I've never had. I did take out so the only thing I can say on the service is that they're pretty fast with getting you your food :) FOOD: Mysore Masala Dosa - This was something new to me and I was excited to try it. It was full of flavor and lentils crepe was spongey which was great for soaking up the various of sauces that was included. I enjoyed each of the sauces and the potato curry was absolutely delicious as well. Would recommend this item :) Butter Chicken - This was also pretty flavorful and I enjoyed it a lot with the garlic naan that I also got. However, I will say that the chicken was on the dryer end which isn't my preference when it comes to how chicken is cooked. Overall, still enjoyed this dish and it made for a hearty meal. Mango Lassi - This was good and expected! Overall, if I'm ever around Kennewick again, this place will be one of my go tos :) read more

The food is always good and fresh! Buttered chicken and garlic naan bread for the win

Ordered the lamb curry and chicken tiki masala. The lamb curry looked nothing like their picture on their website and tasted like they just added lamb to tiki masala sauce. Tasted horrible. Will never order from this place again. read more

I thought I didn't like Indian food. Although, I'd only tried one (unnamed) Indian cuisine restaurant. A coworker insisted that my wife and I try Masala. I'm so glad we did!! We have gone there at least once a week since finding it. We try something new every time and it's all amazing! We even tried their buffet one Saturday which was also very good. To top it all off, the service is phenomenal every time. Thanks Masala, for changing our minds about your wonderful cuisine! read more

We tried the buffet and really liked it a lot. There was a good variety and the food seemed fresh and had good flavor. The price was reasonable. The ambiance was nice and family friendly. The service was nice. Only thing I would say that could be improved was that the food was too oily, the flavor was good anyway and I wished they had included samosas in the brunch, but overall we really liked this restaurant. read more

Very good Indian food - best I have eaten in the Tri-Cities! Have only had takeout, so cannot comment on the in-house service. Food is top notch! read more

Disaapointed that I didn't take pictures. Have visited several times and have always left satisfied! Lots of DF & GF options. If you have never tried Indian food, fear not! Lots of friendly and delicious items await your palate! The house cocktails are fantastic and simply delicious. Share a couple of appetizers and main dishes between you and your guest. You will it regret it and will have leftovers. Think lamb, mangos, coconut, mint, sauce, rice, and curry but know you have a Cheesecake Factory menu of options! read more

Loved this place, clean and peaceful. The employees are courteous, gracious. The food is flavorful and authentic. Pricing is also very reasonable for the amount of food served. Would def come back here. read more

Just got delivery from this restaurant. I ordered the vegetable Kurma with aloo samosas. Unfortunately, although I was charged, they forgot the samosas, which is why I'm knocking down one star. Luckily, I got a refund, but I was looking forward to them. The kurma was good, but a little too spicy for me. I only wish there was a spice level option for this restaurant on yelp/Grubhub. I didn't think to ask for it to be mild in the comments section. Oh well. read more

Love! Love! Just moved from Seattle area and wasn't sure we'd be able to find a good Indian restaurant. This place exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to go back. We had the chicken masala dinner which has a nice sampling of sauces and dessert, garlic naan and gobi Manchurian. Great food! Great service! read more

This has been our favorite local Indian restaurant for several years after it was recommended by friends. It is family run and we like many of the items on the menu, Just before Christmas we got three items to take home and heat later. They were delightful; Butter Chicken, Lamb Curry, and Marsala Vegetables, read more

We were passing through Kennewick on a road trip, and I was scouting out places for lunch. I decided to stop here, and I'm so glad I did. The food was all delicious. We had a few lunch specials: paneer masala, Chana masala, butter chicken, chicken masala. Plus naan. Servers were friendly and attentive. I'd definitely be coming back if I lived here, and can't wait to eat next time I'm passing through. read more

The place was better than expected: 1. I think it was about $10-11 per person and the food was worth the value. The curry they did not skimp out on the meat such as goat or chicken and their tandoori was smoky on the outside tender in the inside. 2. the service was incredibly polite. They let us use the 10% check in discount for the buffet, their drink refills were prompt. This place is a great addition to Tri-Cities and I enjoyed my visit here while checking out the area. read more

You want good Indian food? This ain't it homies. An order of garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, palak paneer, lamb korma and 2 Indian teas ran us $64 The garlic naan was the most bland boring and inconsistent textured naan I've ever had. Half was burnt and the other half under cooked, overly thick and doughy. I should had garlic breath for days but not a whiff. Is the garlic even fresh or some canned crap out of jar? Man if you eff up naan how's the rest of this meal gonna go? Downhill my friend, and with a quickness. The palak paneer was watery and brown. Visually the most unappetizing dish. The tikka masala was weirdly spicy but not in a good way. It didn't compliment the dish in any way and the chunks of chicken were obviously not cooked in the sauce as they were dry as the Sahara. The lamb in the lamb korma was stringy, gristly and fatty all at the same time? What kind of off cuts are you hiding in that lack luster sauce? The Indian tea (wanna be chai) was bland and the milk they used tasted scorched. I don't understand these 4 and 5 star ratings but seeing is it was only white people eaing there I guess they don't know what good Indian food is. Two stars for being seemingly clean and adequate service. read more
