This is a great place to eat and for the price. My favorite is the Cilantro chicken. OMG so good! Check the hours before you go. Always taste so fresh and not like it has been sitting around. We get it go. Tight space to eat in for me. Tried the crispy chicken this time, 10/10 gotta try read more

Visiting from Northern Virginia, I came to Masala Melody in Maple Valley directly after landing at SeaTac. I was in town to run the Iron Horse Half Marathon that weekend and wanted a solid meal after the flight. I ordered the chicken tikka masala, which came with basmati rice, and after a few moments of thought, added the garlic naan. For the price, both the quality and quantity of the food were excellent. The chicken tikka masala was really flavorful, buttery, and delicious. I asked for the highest spice level, and while it wasn't overwhelmingly spicy, it had a good amount of heat. Paired with the garlic naan, it was sublime. I hadn't eaten breakfast that day, and the meal filled me up enough that I didn't even end up having dinner. The guy there was also nice enough to throw in a mango lassi after I promised to do him a favor. The lassi wasn't my favorite, but I still appreciated the gesture. One other thing I really liked was the serving ware. They seemed to use bamboo, wood, or similar materials for most things rather than a bunch of disposable plastic. As someone who tries to limit unnecessary plastic use, I appreciated that. Aside from the bottled water, it felt like they put some thought into both the food and the customer experience. All in all, a great Indian spot with tasty food, generous portions, and friendly service. I'd definitely come back if I'm in Maple Valley or the Seattle area again. 4/5 stars Last visited: August 28, 2026 read more

Butter chicken was honestly pretty good. However the naan bread was portion was really disappointing. It was literally a sliver of a full naan bread lol Insane read more

What a great surprise! Delicious food!! Tiny, very casual place. Probably dies mostly takeout. Our appetizer was cilantro paneer. Best paneer dish I've ever eaten. Very flavorful, great textures, fresh ingredients. Yum! We tried 3 curries - butter chicken, chicken Tikka Masala and lamb korma. All great. The Naan was prepared well too. Definitely going back! read more

Updated from 4 to 3 stars, sadly as the (yelp) duchess it must be done This place really is lovely, which honestly makes this review harder to write. The flavors are thoughtful, the food is clearly made with care, and I REALLY want this to be my go-to spot. That said, a few small but persistent things have nudged me from happy regular to mildly, consistently infuriated customer: 1 The hours. I know, I know. They are what they are. But when a craving hits at 2:30pm and ordering doesn't open until exactly 5:00pm, it's a long emotional journey. Add in not being able to place an order even a few minutes early, and it's just... a lot for a hungry person with commitment issues. 2 Spice level roulette. This is my biggest hurdle. I love flavor. I just don't love heat. I always order "0 spice" and very politely ask for no spice. Truly, sincerely, humbly no spice. I've even gone so far as to say "white woman spicy" to be crystal clear. Unfortunately, that hasn't been consistent. We've tried branching out from butter chicken, and most dishes end up being a few bites before we tap out. This last visit, even the butter chicken came out spicier than expected, which makes the menu feel more limited than it should be. A specific example. Let's talk about the cilantro chicken. Based on the description, especially "tomato gravy," I genuinely expected something more curry-forward and saucy, maybe herbaceous and comforting. Instead, it packed more heat than anticipated, and even with a mango lassi, I couldn't get past a few bites. When you can really only eat three items, it starts to feel limiting. My reliable go-tos are: * Butter chicken with rice * Garlic naan (butter naan is also great) * Mango lassi As an adventurous eater, I want to explore the menu more, but the spice inconsistency makes that tough. 4 A small, hopeful suggestion. Since the butter chicken is clearly a crowd favorite, a family-size option would be amazing. Ordering multiple single containers works, but carrying 3-4 at once feels like a test of grip strength and faith. A genuine bright spot. I do love that they always walk me out to my car. It's such a small thing, but it really stands out and is a big bonus in my book. Overall, this is still a good place with a lot going for it. These aren't deal-breakers so much as paper cuts that add up over time. I'm rooting for consistency here, because I'd love nothing more than to bump this back up to 4 stars and keep ordering without hesitation. read more

Honestly the best Indian food I've had in WA so far!! We ordered takeout on a Wednesday evening and the order was prepared super quick. The saag paneer was honestly the best I've ever had anywhere. The chicken tikka masala was really good but not spicy at all (but that's my fault for ordering mild, I got scared from all the reviews saying their food was too spicy). And the naan was so soft and doughy. Not too bad of prices for Indian food either! Safe to say this will be our new go-to to-go Indian food!! read more

Finally an Indian restaurant in Maple Valley! The biriyani is good - tried a couple varieties and liked the bezwada one the best. , Chettinad chicken curry was too salty for our palette and the mango lassi was nice. Service is good!

Wow!!!! Amazing! Finally an India takeout spot in Maple Valley. It may not look special, but once you take a bite, you will be amazed by how much flavor is packed into their dishes. The bezwada chicken biryani, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken masala, and chicken chettinadu were all good. Their dishes are spicy, so if you don't like spicy, be careful. Even the mild dishes had some spice in them. My family will definitely be ordering takeout from here regularly. read more

Tried two different dishes here and flavors weren't on point except for one area. They were both on the salty side. If it weren't for the saltiness I would of given 5 stars. I would definitely go back and give it another go because the food was very good. But if they turn out to be salty also then I won't return after that. read more

We ordered ahead for our food, we got to the restaurant that at the time they said it would be finished. They told us it would take another 15 min, then another 2 and another 2 and guess what, 55min passed and we are just finally getting our food. We get home it's now room temperature so we had to heat it back up, we're missing our nana and they gave us one of the wrong dishes!!!! Ridiculous! read more

Great little Indian place. We stopped for lunch and everything was delicious. We had the biryani 65 with cauliflower and the pepper fry paneer. Glad to see so many vegetarian options. read more

I'm glad we have Indian food in Maple Valley now! I ordered garlic naan, chicken Tika masala, and mutton biryani. It took about 40 minutes. So don't want until you're starving to order. It's worth the wait. I said medium spice. If you like bland flavors this place isn't for your. It was too hot for mom. That just means more leftovers for me! read more

Great food. Perfect for takeout. We ordered Paneer Chettinad and Butter Chicken Masala. Staff were nice and it was busy. You can dine in (as we did) but rudimentary strip mall ambiance. Definitely will order from here again. read more

Had wonderful chicken biriani, excited to try the dosas. Happy to have another local Indian restaurant in the neighborhood.

I read all the reviews and decided to see for myself. I remembered the little Japanese's restaurant that used to be there. A small mom & pops place. A place that you may want to have a standing Friday night order. They will know your name. Perfection takes time. Order and be prepared to wait. Your tastebuds will thank you. I ordered a cool refreshing mango lassi, butter chicken masala and a butter naan. It came with basmati rice. More than enough for one, sitting in front of Bollywood Wives on Netflix and chilling. I walked in and ordered, was told 40 minutes wait. By the time I ran some errands and got back the lovely "aunty" that took my order, also remembered my name. She was so kind to hailed me out of the line and placed my treasured package in my hand. Way in front of a line of undecided people, waiting to order. All the tables in this quint establishment were filled. This is what Maple Valley was missing. The void has been filled with an air of curry, chutney and butter. Got my treasure home and proceeded to dish it out, The chicken was cooked in a thick buttery masala gravy or sauce whatever you want you want to call it. The spice level was medium. I could have had a little hotter. Will stress that next time. The chicken pieces were sliced to perfection. I could have eaten the gravy with a spoon. So thick and clung to the nice fluffy, pearl white strands of long grain rice. Hail to Basmati!! The naan was package well. It was kept hot and stayed crispy. Clever on their part. The red checkered paper to soak up the oil is really appreciated. I would have liked it a tad bit bigger. But that's just me. This must be the going size. Less than 2 bucks, I'm not one to complain. My succulent mango lassi. I almost thought I was biting into a mango. It was sweet without being too sweet. Thick and I slurped it so quickly I almost forgot I drank it. I wouldn't have minded a larger cup. Overall- I can see ordering ahead and trying different dishes. Aunty will be more than helpful to assist in ordering your tastebuds desire. Best of luck they are on the way of becoming greater than the space they're in. It would be a pleasure watching them grow. I end with - Welcome to the neighborhood, we've been waiting for you. read more

This was my third time visiting Masala Melody. The first time was during their first week open - things were chaotic, I had to wait over an hour for my food, but it was delicious. I can excuse them needing time to get things in order. The second time was fine as well, no complaints. This time, I was very disappointed. Ordered one chicken biryani and a garlic naan through Door Dash pick up. I ordered right as they opened at 5:30pm on a Tuesday. The app said the order was confirmed right away and it would take 19 mins. I arrived at the 20 min mark (5:50pm) and the guy at the register said they just got the order (even though I could see his order screen saying it has been 14 mins since they confirmed it). He asked me for 5 mins to get it done. I waited another 20 mins and was finally handed my food. I checked and they forgot my garlic naan so I had to go back. When I got home 15 mins later, I found the biryani and naan to be room temp. Very upset. I kept the food in an insulated bag. My first two visits the food was hot and piping even after a 15 min drive home. This time, I had to microwave all my food. Unacceptable! The naan was rock hard. Watch the video and turn up the volume. I hope this was a one time service fail and not a new pattern. read more

Never been before, until last night. Owners were so nice. The food was so fresh, and good! We'll definitely be back! read more

Personable, warm welcome upon entering. We ordered paneer chettinad and chicken tikka masala. Delicious and plentiful! Next time we find ourselves wanting a meal in Maple Valley, we will be return! read more

Food here is amazing! Also just because I was not sure when looking at the menu online you do not have to order rice on the side of your curry, which is an amazing plus! The workers here are really friendly and seem to care about their customers. The inside is nice as well and looks a lot better than the restaurant that used to be here. I highly recommend their mango lassi, it is amazing. I went back a few days later just to get that. read more

We enjoyed a Mother's Day meal at Masala Melody, everything was excellent! We highly recommend the butter chicken, palak paneer, and the lamb biryani. The mango lassi was very good also. Great service, very nice owners ,it was a five star experience! We recommend! read more

The food is delicious! highly recommend, every dish is soooo good. I wish I would have written the review before we ate, so I could have taken photos. read more

Mid at best. Quick online order was easy peasy, but everything was overly salted. I'd really like to support a small local business, but I'm one sodium overload. I will say the naan was legit. Got butter chicken, tika Marsala and the cauliflower. They need to say rice is included because I had no idea and ordered extra. I think for the average diner in the area they'd think this is bomb.com. I'm probably more particular than the average bear. Really wanted to like but won't be back. read more

This place is soooo good. We have been hoping for this kind of Indian food to be in our area. Such good flavors and spice. Would give a 5 star but felt like our naan was microwaved today. Really hard when cooled down. Still will order from here. read more

I've been waiting for an Indian food place to come to Maple Valley. I went to Masala Melody today and was very happy with the food! I had the chicken tikka masala and it was really good! The best I've had around this area. The garlic naan was good but it's pretty small. The place is more of a take out place than dine in. But the quality of the food is excellent. I'll definitely be going back! read more

We had a rice dish with chicken the first one listed on the menu and the portions are huge. We also had the Appetizer Chicken 65. Both were amazing! The 65 Chicken was unlike anything I've tried, what flavor bomb. So good. read more

Our experience with Masala Melody tonight was absolutely amazing. We ordered takeout and our food was ready very quickly. When I walked in to pick it up, I was greeted with smiling faces who asked us to let them know if we liked the food, so here I am! We ordered garlic naan, butter chicken masala, and the bezwada chicken biryani - all of which were delicious and had generous portions. My boyfriend and I both had dinner from it, and still have leftovers for tomorrow. We definitely have a new favorite dinner option and will be returning! :) read more

We were excited to have Indian food in the area but this just didn't do it. Maharaja is still our go to for Indian food. The naans under cooked. Malai kofta was okay. Chicken Biryani too spicy. read more

I have tried Masala Melody a couple times already and I think they are one of the best Indian restaurants anywhere around the region. I'm so thrilled to finally have such amazing food nearby. The dishes are well spiced and fresh tasting. The ones I tried tended to be on spicy side, which I liked very much. I've only done take out but they indicated that a dine in option will be available soon. Since I go there for the food and not the ambiance, I'm extremely satisfied with my experience so far. I'll definitely be a regular there! read more

I went to order a meal for 25 people for my daughter's 40th birthday party. Their service was wonderful. They helped me determine how much to order etc. We didn't live very far away and they delivered the food - EVERYTHING was delicious, hot and well prepared. I couldn't have asked for more ... or more tasty food!!! read more

I'd give Melody Masala 20/10 stars if I could. The folks were incredibly kind and helpful. The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I cannot say enough good things. YOU HAVE TO TRY IT!! read more

I first learned about Masala Melody when I went in the same plaza for lunch elsewhere and this smelled way better. I ran in for a menu and was greeted by a very friendly staff. We made sure to come back and were not disappointed. I asked for some recommendations and Malai Kofta was amazing and the Chicken Chettinadu was new to me and out of this world. My new goal is to work through the whole menu. I am definitely coming back to support this local Maple Valley restaurant! read more
