Chole Bhature

Yelp led me here based on great ratings, and the experience was great enough such that I won't deviate from the great ratings it's received from other reviewers. Masala Kitchen is by no means fine dining, but rather a more fast casual Indian vegetarian street food type experience where food is cooked to order fresh. It's located inside the farmers market building which I wasn't aware of until I arrived. The service (5/5) from the guy taking food orders and delivering food to the tables was super friendly and pleasant, especially for a place which doesn't have formal waiter service. He definitely took pride in running the business and making sure customers were happy, which is a vibe I don't often get from Indian eateries. We ordered the chole bhature, a kati roll, & masala dosa. The chole bhature (3.5/5) was a little watery and wasn't the best of preparations I've had, but it was decent and came with 2 great big pieces of the bhature/bread. The Kati roll (4.5/5) came cut up into 4 pieces and was incredibly flavorful with the paneer and fillings, but some people dining with me found it too spicy while others raved about it and felt it was perfect. The masala dosa (4/5) was a decent portion for sharing and tasted good, but nothing to rival places which specialize in dosas. They have several Indian dessert options...we tried some jalebi (4.5/5) which was a perfect way to end the meal. The prices were very reasonable and food tasty, so rounding up to 5 stars given it's an informal street food type place with friendly ownership aimed at pleasing all dining guests. Others may be disappointed if expecting a more formal restaurant experience (which this place isn't trying to be).

Amazing food and service! We had the food truck for a baby shower I threw for my sister and everything was delicious. I would especially recommend the pani puri and pizza!

Dahi puri

This is an amazing little place located inside of the New Castle Farmers market. After walking the whole circle around the market and finally locating the store, i would like to help fellow yelpers by informing them to enter at the entrance #4 to reach this joint. We entered from entrance #6 but went left towards the other side instead of taking right towards the shop! To tell you frankly, we were hungry already and the detour did not help, lol! So we ordered dahi puri, papri chaat, mix fresh lime soda, uttapam, vada pav, pav bhaji and usal pav. The dahi puris were pretty delicious for Delaware standards! I have had some incredible chaat in Dallas, NJ, NY and the bay area but had no expectations to find this yummy chat here in Delaware.. oh I am so happy they opened shop! The papri chaat was also very delicious, made with good amount of papri, chutneys and onions. They did not skimp on the ingredients and the dish was the best i have had in US! Many places mess up papri chaat by pouring too much yogurt or too much chutneys, but they did no such thing. The usal pav was very spicy, but i loved it. The uttapam was also well made and filling. The mix fresh lime soda was made well and delicious. The vada pav was also very delicious, with the right amount of spices. Pav bhaji was not too great but just decent - more like a 3/5 dish. We also had a pista kulfi - which was okay... nothing exclusive. Will definitely repeat and try other items.

7 Item Thali

This Indian restaurant is inside the New Castle Farmers Market and since the market is only open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, those are the only days this restaurant is open too. Unlike most other Indian restaurants I've been to, Masala Kitchen is a very simple, unpretentious restaurant. You grab a menu and order at the register. I noticed that the food was vegetarian, which may be a plus to some. I had the 7-Item Thali, which is a combination platter with 3 curries, salad, rice, flat bread, and something else I couldn't figure out. It was quite flavorful and spicy but not really the burning kind of spicy. I suspect it's Northern Indian. The only thing they may need to improve on is the rice. I noticed bits of rice that had dried out and hardened in the rice cooker. Menu prices were very reasonable, compared to most Indian restaurants. In summary, for decent, inexpensive and unpretentious Indian food, this place is worth a visit.

First time I went there, amazing authentic quality food.... This time though the experience was exactly opposite.... The service gets slower each time I visit The food quality dropped considerably... The Usal and Ragda were just plain bland with no garnishing at all (those dishes always come garnished) The sugarcane juice was 90%water and 10% juice if any.... I was highly let down and had to review it....

Very large samosas

Rancho Azteca in historic Old New Castle has a lot going for it in terms of atmosphere, but the…read moreoverall experience was a bit mixed. The food was decent with a huge variety of menu options and generous portions, though nothing particularly stood out quality-wise compared to other local Mexican spots. On the plus side, the frozen alcoholic beverages were delicious, and sitting outside in their wonderful little patio area was easily the highlight of the meal. The outdoor ambiance is terrific! Where they fell short was the service. Our waiter was just okay and could have been much more proactive with drink refills. Also, we ordered tableside guacamole that never arrived. More concerningly, when I informed the server about a severe shellfish allergy, he only confirmed that my specific order didn't contain shellfish (which I already knew), rather than noting it as an allergy ticket for the kitchen to take extra cross-contamination precautions as most restaurants do. It was treated pretty casually. I'll definitely give them another try, mainly to enjoy that great patio setup and a frozen drink or two. Perhaps my next visit will result in a better rating.

I ordered the shrimp chimichanga, one friend ordered fajitas and one friend ordered the taco salad Texano and everyone was happy! The guacamole is very good too! We will be back.
