    Channa masala, Paneer Tikka Masala, Steamed Rice, Parotta Salna, Garlic Naan, Samosa Chaat

    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
    Asia W.

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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

    Chicken Vindaloo
    Clinton M.

    Had a great dinner tonight at Masala Twist. The Garlic Naan was out of this world. The Vindaloo had the perfect amount of spice and tasted amazing. Overall was a great dinner and the best part was the friendly waitress Emma who helped with decisions on what to try.

    Kerala King fish curry (bottom left), mango custard, paneer butter masala (top right), and parotta (top left).

    OMG just had the best Indian dinner at Masala Twist in Richardson! We had the Kerala fish curry (King fish), paneer butter masala, parotta, and mango custard. Everything was super tasty and authentically South Indian. The owner himself served us and he was super nice! A personable customer experience is definitely one of their priorities. Can't wait to come back on Sunday and try their 30 item buffet!

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

    Hands down my favorite Mediterranean restaurant I've been to in DFW. Everything is always…read moreconsistently fresh and flavorful. The sauces are amazing - tzatziki, hummus, baba ghanoush, and more. I personally love the chicken cooked in a yogurt sauce, roasted cauliflower, and chickpea moussaka as my top standouts, but truly there are too many delicious things to name. I love how many chicken options there are as someone who isn't crazy about beef or pork. There is also falafel and plenty of beans for your vegan/ vegetarian friends. There were markers for allergies / preferences on the labels, but I didn't attend too closely as I don't have dietary restrictions. They have tasty rice pudding topped with pistachios and fresh fruit as something sweet to pair with your meal. I enjoy the lentil soup for dipping pita bread in. All you can eat buffets are always the best for getting to try everything and making everyone in your party happy. It's a bit on the expensive side (around $25 per person before tip), but it's totally worth it for special occasions. Within the last year they've redone the seating inside, but the food quality has stood the test of time!

    Saturday night -with a reservation 12 people. 5:30…read more Most of us were not prepared for a buffet rather than menu ordering, but it worked out as you could try a variety of items. Drinks are self-serve fountain drinks, water or wine. Good variety of food and each was well labeled. The gyro meat was tender and flavorful. The olives were good. Several in party disappointed not to see chicken shawarma or baklava on the menu. Lamb stuffed grape leaves were flavorful. The rice ones were good. Staff were are helpful and friendly . They cleared your plates quickly. They explained dishes. Chairs were sturdy/hefty wood with leather straps for back and seat. A few chairs sank when sitting.

    My partner and I dined here for a birthday and we found the experience acceptable…read more The atmosphere was a little worse than we had expected, but we were here for the food. Speaking of which, it was alright. The meats were a little worse than other churrascarias I have been too, but still quite tasty. The service was below average as well. I feel like the rotation of the meat was strange as well, a number of items appeared at our table much more frequently than others and several items I had to ask the server to make sure it came to the table. Overall, the experience was acceptable but mundane. This restaurant is somewhat cheaper than other churrascarias, but I would rather go to the better places less often.

    I was brought here by my partner for my birthday dinner this year, and wanted to say that while it…read morewasn't bad, it fell short of expectations. We're regulars of EG Steak up in Plano/Frisco, and I found that a much more ideal experience. PROS: - Brazilian Lemonade was very good, I was left wanting for more - Shrimp was available as an option, which I find unique for a Brazilian steakhouse - I enjoyed the picanha and the garlic steak CONS: - The atmosphere of the place is simply less formal than desired for what you're paying. It feels a bit like your local Italian joint. Tables are close together, full light blasting, cheap tablecloths and incorrect labels on the stuff at the buffet - Most of the meat we got came to us lukewarm. I only got one piece of meat that was hot - Our service wasn't very great. We kept getting repeats of the same lower quality meats we didn't enjoy, kept getting repeatedly passed up by meats we did want despite our green table indicators and trying to get the guys' attention, and couldn't really get anyone to come to our table very often. - Some of the meats just weren't good. The chicken, for example, was salty and inedible. I also found the texture of the sirloin very, very tough. The lamb was relatively flavorless. - I don't know how much of this I can attribute to the restaurant themselves, but on a Friday night, this place was littered with kids and large families that weren't under control. Kids running around, listening to YouTube videos on full volume, etc literally right next to our table. - My partner noted that it was my birthday, having seen some of the reviews about this place making it a special occasion. It wasn't acknowledged, not even a "happy birthday" from any of the staff. Overall, for just $15 more per person and a half hour drive north, just go to EG by Stonebriar. Definitely a more elevated experience for the price point.
