Did is simple and outstanding. Best find ever from a random Yelp search while driving to NJ. Would definitely come back.

Don't judge a book by its cover. This food is authentic and fresh! I had the deconstructed samosas #16, my husband had #18, we shared the two veggie wraps and mango lassi. The service was very helpful in aiding our decisions to mix the flavors. You know it's good Indian food when the majority of clients are Indian :) I am stuffed but don't feel guilty since it was vegetables read more

What can i say ... nothing is edible , i just trashed 40$ food i ordered . Stale , unhygienic. Seems like all are rigged ratings . The place itself is in a filthy location read more

I don't get Indian restaurants in the US. They Americanize Indian food too much. We ordered a thali, dhokla, jalebi and dabeli at masala kitchen. Thali was a little above average. Chole were very good, paneer was average. Dhokla and dabeli were not authentic at all. The place is good if you're really craving some Indian food at an affordable price. read more

This is a very simple and unpretentious place. It is a tiny South Indian restaurant inside the decidedly down market New Castle Framers Market. The food at masala Kitchen is 100% authentic South Indian food, except for the level of spiciness. Food in South Indian restaurants is typically extremely spicy. This is especially true in small hole-in-the-wall sort of places, like this. This, however, is not the case at Masalla Kitchen (pace Jennilee D's review). For those who have not eaten South Indian food, this is a completely different cuisine from the food found in most Indian restaurants in the U.S. Don't expect ANY of the same dishes, although there may be occasional overlap. South Indian restaurants are often vegetarian, as is Masala Kitchen. That does not mean that it isn't satisfying, but it is important not to have an expectation that it will be just like that in North Indian restaurants. The owner is very helpful in suggesting dishes and in explaining what the foods are like. If you are an adventurous eater who is looking for something new, or if, like us, you have lived in SE Asia where most of the Indian restaurants are S. Indian and grew to love the food, this is a great addition. It seems that Delaware has become a much more cosmopolitan place than it was before! This is a restaurant that is worth supporting. read more

I love chaats. Being from India, it is very difficult to find the kind of quality I am used to back in India.. Most indian restaurants in Delaware region serve stale or food which just does not make my stomach happy. Then I heard of masala kitchen, I just had to try this restaurant. The chaats we get here are awesome and quite delicious and the staff are friendly as well. Only down point I see is the location, but frankly I do not mind that as well, as I am getting good authentic gujju food!! Loved it They also provide fresh chapathis in bulk. They are open only on Friday sat and Sunday. read more

This is the place for authentic Indian street food. I've been here multiple times ordering different things ranging from bhel puri, pav bhaji, vada pav, deconstructed samosa and aloo tikki, dabeli, kulfi and more. Everything was made exceptionally well. I regret not having found this place sooner. read more

I have tried several dishes on the menu and have loved whatever I picked every single time. However my favorite has to be the falafel, mix pakora, or vada pav. The cilantro chutney is also another favorite! It goes well with everything, I even looked up a recipe on pinterest but obviously it wouldn't come close to being as good as theirs. Overall my review might be bias due to my everlasting love for indian food but if you visit you will not be disappointed by the variety of tasty food they have to offer. Sometimes it takes a bit longer than you would hope for but definitely worth the wait. I go at least once a week and will continue to do so! read more

Masala Kitchen - Vegetarian Near Me - New Castle, Delaware

Yummy! I grew up in good ole Edison, NJ and there's Indian food available everywhere. Down here in Slower Lower Delaware it's a bit harder to find good Indian food. The husband and I were walking around the Farmer's Market (FYI - this is inside the Farmer's Market tucked away in the back corner) and were hungry from some lunch. Naturally, we gravitated towards the new Indian place. We ordered 3 things - we're over-eaters! We started with the Papdi Chaat. Crunch chips in a yogurt based sauce with chickpeas and spices. Delicious! I love Papdi Chaat and this one hit the mark. Definitely a go-to quick Indian food place! read more

My favorite place in Delaware to grab a snack from. (Both locations) Excellent food!!! Try the Mix Pakora. Meeting and chatting with the Owner is always a pleasure. read more

Really good, simple chaat items. Authentic North Indian style. Pav bhaji was really good. Vada Pav was ok. The owner of the restaurant was helpful. Farmers market was quite a experience in itself. read more

Delicious food, gracious host, good value. Try the sandwiches if you are looking for Indian-American fusion. They are subtle, but delicious. Did I mention it was delicious? read more

If you are vegetarian or vegan, you know how hard it is to find a good fast food place to chow down! I usual go to the New Castle Farmers Market for the fruit stores, and Amish section. I've walked past this restaurant many times, always in a rush. Finally after reading a few reviews, I made time to stop in. They have actual plates sat out with food on them so you can see what the dish will look like, as well as picture menus. If you are new to Indian food, you can get a sense of what you are getting. The food didn't take too long to come out. Everything was delicious! My husband and I had some nice spicy dishes, while my son enjoyed his basmati rice. My phone died so I didn't get to take many pictures. There are many tables to sit at and enjoy your meal. My experience was pleasant. read more

Am very particular about chaats. I tried this place for the first time and it turned out to be really good considering the fact that there is nothing else around. But the papdi chaat and dahi aloo puri are above average. read more

Great food and very nice people. I loved the chole bhature and the Kati rolls. The owner is very accommodating and friendly. We had a group of 10 and they made sure we felt comfortable. Overall 10/10 would come again, read more

Don't know if it's coz I'm eating Chat after so long, or coz its the only good chat place in Delaware. But its awesome, will definitely revisit this place! Plus there are other options to ear around here to! read more

Great vegetarian food, cheap lunch menu. Very authentic. Especially reccommend a mango lassi to go with you meal. Share a samosa to start but ve warned they are huge! Vegetable pakoras also great! Only drawbacks : vegetarian and only open fri sat sun. Food is so good you will forget its vegetarian. read more

On a rainy and cold saturday night, my wife and I didnt feel like cooking so we opted to eat out. While browsing through local restaurants, we came across this vegetarian Indian restaurant. It was also located on a familiar place where we do our shopping for fresh vegetables inside New Castle Farmers Market. Upon entering the restaurant, we saw one employee sitting in the back. We picked up a menu and proceeded to sit down. Not sure how they conduct customer service, but it was quite non existent. Puzzled by the fact that the employee didnt move from his seat in the back, we went to the empty register to order. Only then did he decide to get up. We ordered samosa, vegetable puff and two entrees along with mango juice and mango lasse. He gave us a number and told us the kitchen would call our number when ready. After several minutes, the kitchen called our number, but it was only for our vegetable puff. I proceeded to get up myself and grab the tray. Several minutes later, the samosas were done. Again, I got up to get a tray from the kitchen. At this moment, I realized the gentleman wasn't there to serve us. He never even told us where to get our drinks. I found our mango drinks in the fridge and got them myself. Next, one of our entrees was called up. Again, I went to the kitchen to retrieve it. At this time, it was getting "busier." By that, I mean three additional tables. We were the first ones there around 630pm. As our final entree got called, the gentleman finally brings us our food. I guess one out of four trays isn't bad...Food tasted quite good, but service is basically nonexistent. Not sure if that's the intention of the restaurant. Just feels weird placing an order and going to the kitchen window myself to retrieve my order. read more

I often work at the farmers market on weekends and found this place by accident. I go whenever I get a chance now because it is so delicious. I recommend the samosas, truly my favorite! I have tried them from other places and the taste is just not the same. If you get a chance to go you will not be disappointed. Also friwndly service! read more

My husband and I go here just about every weekend. We look forward to it. It's been such a great adventure trying our way through the large and changing menu and the owners are kind and love to educate us about the food when we ask. There's a real joy in the food and a pride in it that is so amazing. I was hesitant to try it at first. I love meat and the idea of eating a number of new foods filled with vegetables I may not normally like or eat didn't seem that appealing. I am so thankful my husband was so persistent! There were a lot of things like chickpeas that I used to avoid that I now eat happily. It's been a positive change! The prices are very, very reasonable. We can both eat and leave full with just $10 or less spent on food in total. As in all together. They could raise everything by a dollar or two and we would still consider ourselves as coming out ahead when it comes to price and value. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

A very nice place for authentic Indian Street Food. Vadapav and decontructed samosa chat are a must have on the menu. We had ordered a bunch of items on the menu and all were very good. Fresh Sugarcane juice is a big plus!! read more

A perfect taste of India fast food and cheaper than other local chains. I tried vadapau, dabeli, tea, 7 thalli, cut mirchi, etc everything was at a satisfying point the only vote for no is Khaman read more

Delicious! First time eating there tonight . The people are friendly, the prices are cheap , and the food is great . I'm not even vegetarian and the food was quality. I would 100 % recommend it. read more

Great food great people! The food blew my mind when i tried it. Now I'm here Every weekend ordering something to eat

I had a pretty tough time locating the place. Thankfully went back to the reviews and read that it was INSIDE the farmers market. The farmers market in itself has eclectic stores. After a while walking around the market, I found Masala Kitchen. I had Sev Puri that was awesome - spicy and flavorful. The Mothichoor ladoo was the yummiest ladoo I have had in a loong time! I'm not a great fan of sweets but I had two of them! read more

The best Indian food spot by far. The samosas are delicious I love the Mango Lassie, it is to die for. MK is located inside the farmers market next to the Treasure Hunt store. It's location may seem a little different but once you try it you honestly just want to go back every weekend. The flavors are so tasty and authentic I'd definitely recommend coming here. read more

I've recently made Indian food a bit of an adventure. I will try just about anything. This place was on the list. This hole in the wall delivers great food, friendly service, and an odd since satisfaction you wouldn't expect from a farmers market vendor. The mango lassi is fresh. The samosas are huge and made to order. The mix pakora is tasty and affordable. The one negative I will mention it is slightly noisy. But a little noise will not stop me from coming back for more delicious! read more

This is the best Dabeli i ever had outside of Bombay. Whatever we ate was very tasty. Love it!! read more

This place is by far the best Indian chaat place I have been to (and I actively seek out chaat places every state I visit), and I do not understand how any one can say otherwise. I would even go to say that some of the chaat I had here was better than at most chaat stores in India. Clearly, I'm a fan. On my multiple visits, I have tried their pani puri, dahi aloo puri, paapadi chaat, deconstructed aloo tikki and samosa, pav bhaji, ragada patties, paranthas, chole bature, masala chaas.. all brilliant. Recently, they added Dabelis to their menu (I couldn't believe my eyes, as I have never found dabelis anywhere in the US!), and they were the best dabelis I have ever had. The service is a bit slow, but it is SO well worth the few minutes extra wait. The owner seems like a very genuine and sincere man, who clearly works very hard, and really cares about this place. Enough said! - Visit once, and let the food speak for it self! read more

All vegetarian & very reasonably priced. Aloo tiki was ridiculously delicious! They are opening a new location in downtown Wilmo in Aug 2015, so it will be interesting to see if that changes things. read more

Small hole in the wall with delicious food!

As delicious and authentic as it gets. Service is a bit slow though, but worth the wait. My favourite is the deconstructed samosa/aloo tikki chaat. read more

By far the best vegetarian Indian food I've ever had! Prices are incredibly reasonable, so be sure to try out at least a few different things! You won't be disappointed! read more

First time Here , Did not even know this place existed .. In the farmers market in New castle DE .. The food Reminded me of childhood days back home .. Don't miss it read more

The staff was extremely friendly and the food was amazing! Very family friendly too! I got the falafel and I highly recommend it!

Nice place, nice owners, good home style cooking. I have tried their Sev Puri and the thali. Both were good. Some of the other reviewers said that this is a South Indian place. It is not. This is Bombay style food in Gujarathi style. So, dishes tend to have a touch of sweet to them. I will ask the owner to cut back on the sweet when I get sev Puri next time. Should be perfect for my personal style then. read more

Best Vada Pao in DE!! I would say add PA too or maybe the east coast! All other items are good too but we stop at the farmers market specially for vada Pao, soooo worth it! read more

So so good! They try very hard here, be patient as they run a skeleton staff. Girlfriend bad the deconstructed aloo tikki, I had the pav bhaji and vada pav. The green cilantro chutney is truly addicting, but spicy! Everything was excellent, but the vada pay was my favorite! I am excited to come back for the kati roll as I love cottage cheese so so much! read more

Hmm...this is probably not the place for you if you are new to Indian as we were. Their "mild" killed out mouths and had us all practically crying. The flavor was good, however it was just very spicy. They are very cheap though. We fed 5 people for less than $30 with tip including drinks. It's nothing fancy, just a little hole in the wall, but if you got a thing for not feeling your tongue and are trying to save money, I would totally recommend this place. The owner was super nice and had a good giggle at our lack of being able to handle spice. read more

Love the Chaat items /Indian snack items available. The staff are very courteous and friendly, and super attentive. The vada-pav, dabeli and usual pav are exactly like the ones I've eaten in Mumbai and Pune, so definitely recommend the food. Other items to try: samosa Chaat, dhoklas, sevpuri. read more
