    FINALLY!!! I have been searching for good local Indian cuisine since I moved to Richardson and have tried nearly everyone. This place has completely met the mark. Everything pictured was only $38!!!! That is the cheapest I have found, with the best flavor as well. I'd highly recommend giving masala twist a try.

    Arcot Biryani
    Susan L.

    I ordered from DoorDash and everything was hot, fresh and absolutely delicious! The Arcot (lamb) Biryani was so flavorful and had plenty of huge hunks of tender lamb throughout. The Onion Kulcha was delicious and a large portion. Will order again very soon!

    Sunday buffet
    Stella C.

    Awesome service! We went for dinner on a Friday night, loved it! Nikitha, their wonderful staff (look her up)mentioned that they have an awesome Sunday buffet and so we did! This place is a gem bu itself, authentic, halala and vegetarian friendly. We got to talk to the friendly owner, Sabu and asked us how we found the place. #yelpgoodfind Let's support this place and dont forget their chai

    Saag Curry

    Takeout Queen here again! So I'll start by saying I only chose this place because my typical Indian food spot is closed on Wednesday. I walked and no one was standing at the host stand. But there's a sign to press a button if unattended. I did and someone almost immediately came out with my order. Awesome! Ok but the food. I could immediately tell the difference in quality. I ordered the Saag Paneer (I'm borderline vegetarian so take that as you will however you define it) with Rice and heated up naan I had at home. The saag was fine but the paneer was overcooked I suppose. It was rubbery and unpleasant to chew. The rice was actually pretty delicious. Overall I wouldn't go back because paneer is pretty much the only thing I eat.

    Paneer Butter Masala

    I ordered vegetable samosas this time with paneer butter masala again. The samosas were pretty good. I requested one of the butter masalas to be extra spicy and this either only comes mild or they missed the request. Both were the same and not spicy. Still tasty, though.

    Fresh made samosas. Crispy and warm on the inside.

    It was raining today so I decided Indian was going to be the perfect choice! :) I had not been here before but it will not be the last. 5 star all the way from welcoming, service, made to order food and cleanliness. Emma was so nice and helpful. I really appreciated her suggestions and service. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala with Rice and Samosas. All delicious. Must try!!!

    Butter Masala (Chicken), Rice, Mix Veg Pakora
    Sumi J.

    Masala Twist comes to my job every week to sell food. Since I've been working from home, I had a craving and decided to make a trip to the restaurant. I got the Mix Veg Pakora and Butter Masala Chicken. I was a little disappointed by the Pakora. That's my fault though. I thought it was going to be vegetable fritter held together with ground chickpeas. Either way, it was pretty good. There was fried onions and green peppers. It had a great flavor but I was definitely looking for a tamarind or green sauce to help cleanse my palate and make it feel a little lighter. It wasn't spicy at all in case you were wondering. I ordered it Medium. The real reason I came was for the Butter Chicken. I got a pretty decent sized portion. Their butter chicken is different though, in a good way. They use different cuts of chicken. Other restaurants use cubes of maybe chicken breast and I don't really like the texture. Prices are comparable to other places but it was worth the drive to Richardson. Give it a try :)

    Super place for a weekend buffet. Extensive menu options available both for veg and non vegetarian food items. Affords price. Waited for few minutes to be seated but that is because it was crowded and looked quite popular among the local Indian folks. Loved their appam! Mendhu vada, malai chicken, veg navratan korma, hyderabadi chicken gravy, veg fried rice were few of the items I loved. The chhole bhature, fried fish, paneer and okra dishes could have been better. The desserts were too sweet for my preference. Overall I will recommend this place.

    Disappointing. The Masala dosa was quite soggy, the chutneys were not great and the taste was bland. The saag curry with paneer was very watery and had no flavor. Won't be returning unfortunately

    Butter Masala chicken (closest bowl) & Tikka Masala chicken (furthest bowl) w/ Garlic Naan

    The food & visuals were great. This is a solid location if you're looking for Indian food. Our food came out delicious. The inside of the restaurant is well decorated and cultural with lots of seating options.

    Restaurant has gone downhill since new management took over. Food quality has gone downhill and just the ambience isn't the same

The service and the food here are both amazing! My husband and I stopped in late last night just before closing and the staff was SO friendly. Talking to them was definitely a highlight. We tried the samosas, onion pakoda, chili garlic paneer appetizer (recommended by John), butter paneer entree, and lamb tikka masala. It all smelled so delicious on the drive home we honestly had to open up our appetizer in the car- it was SO good! Tasted like a chinese or korean dish to me and the flavor made me feel like I was devouring boneless wings except it was paneer! The portions were reasonable and everything was priced as expected, but the flavors perfectly satisfied our craving for good Indian food. We didn't get to try the chai, which apparently so many people come here for. While waiting for our food, at least 5 people came in just for the chai which was unfortunately sold out. Looking forward to trying it next time!

You come in order eat and have a good time there. If you need someone to hold your hand go somewhere. Or do your research at home. Staff are super nice, making sure you order your food correctly the way you like. Don't except them to read your mind. Depends on the day and time it does get loud, crowded and so on. But that what you get at a typical Indian pure veg restaurant. Food is excellent. If your Jain there is few option too. They do have info-ChineseFrom the dosa that taste delicious. I'd like spicy get either paper or regular masala dosa. First timer get sada/plain dosa. If you love cheese get cheese dosa just remember that cheese is Indian amul cheese not American cheese. For kids there is chocolate dosa which taste delicious and a great dessert too. There is chai there and chaas highly recommend.
