Guinevere F.

I am blessed that I live within a thrown stones distance!!!! I love everything about this restaurant. The young woman Sahara that works up from is so kind and friendly, she's very helpful and will make sure you have a great meal. All of the dishes I have tried are incredible. From the Vegetable Vindalo, to the garlic naan, to the vegetable samosa, you will not be disappointed. But be SURE to order the Mango Sticky Rice for dessert!!!! It is INCREDIBLE! I always get some to take home too :)

Garlic Naan
Faith R.

My new quest is to find the best naan near me... Got 3 kinds of naan: garlic, onion, and chili. The garlic was pretty good, but definitely need to dip it in something, and also probably wouldn't order that one again. The chili was alright, very spicy (obviously), again needs to be dipped in something, wouldn't order again. The onion was the best one out of the bunch. It was actually an onion kulcha (naan stuffed with onion). This was the only one that didn't need any dipping sauce. I will say, the actual products don't look anything like the pictures on their ordering website :( Also ordered the Tamarind chutney- pretty good but more sweet than spicy. This specific chutney didn't pair well with the naan we ordered either. The service was great though. Very friendly and very very quick service. FYI- they have a sign on the outside of the building that says lunch buffet but once inside there is a smaller sign that says the buffet has been discontinued. I don't know what their other food is like which is why I would maybe recommend this place.

Garlic Naan
Nani W.

First timer, will be back. Portions for the price point were good. Loveeedddd the butter chicken and vegetarian samosa. Can't wait to go and try some more options. Fairly decent sized menu. When you walk in, you can smell the warm spices, but not to where it's overpowering. Our waiter was very attentive, friendly, and courteous. Would go back just to talk to him! Chairs are size friendly, mostly accessible as well. Traditional music playing softly in the back ground was nice.

Lamb Rogan Josh
Lynn P.

WOW. This place is nothing short of spectacular. First, the place looks pretty and is very clean inside, and smells fantastic! Secondly, the food is amazing. The menu is HUGE and for a vegetarian, there was so much to choose from that I had trouble picking one, and I plan on going back to try everything. If you get something with Korma sauce, get the garlic naan to dip in it! The combination is to die for. It's also not expensive, for three people who each got meals, naan and specialty drinks (lassis) it was around $70. The staff was also amazing, going above and beyond. Our waiter was so nice, and she recommended food that she thought each of us would like for the next time. Overall, fantastic experience, fantastic food. I will definitely be coming back here!

Chicken Tikka Masala
Lauren H.

Great authentic clean food. Very cute and clean interior. Waiter was incredibly kind and attentive and was able to accommodate our group of 8 with ease. Food came out very fast and was very delicious. Would definitely recommend!

Saag Paneer and Chicken Karahi
Leena S.

Great food and service at Masala! While visiting the area, I consulted Yelp and stumbled upon this little restaurant. It wasn't crowded for a Saturday night. The inside is very basic and they happen to be playing classic hindi songs. We ordered the saag paneer, chicken karahi, and an onion naan. Everything was delicious. The saag paneer and the naan were the standouts. The chicken was a bit chewy, but the overall flavor was good. The Naan was baked with spring onions and very tasty. Our server, was very friendly and efficiently worked all 3 occupied tables, while hustling to assist all the take-out orders. And, there was certainly a revolving door of pick-up orders while were there. Masala appears to be a popular Indian restaurant in the area.

Goat and lamb vindaloo...
Kyel R.

I'm a vindaloo guy... I've peeped this place for a minute and popped up on them fifteen minutes early for atogo order... Very hospitable, took my order, and it was ready before their opening time... So, usually i go to places and they give you slightly less rice then you want, not them. I asked for a very spicy vindaloo, and the flavor was good and it was spicy. This is my area Indian spot now. And they have a lunch buffet... Recommend a visit definitely... And they have quite a bit of protein... I'm 6'1" 240, athletic build and I tend to eat quite a bit. I have have more than half left over...

Bone chunk
John M.

I recently ordered on Uber eats from masala. Normally for a protein I order chicken. Unfortunately this time around, I went with goat. The order was about 80% bone disguised as meat chunks. I'm pretty mad about it as usually these guys are quality. I shouldn't be constantly picking bone shards out of every bite. Maybe they have a new chef, but extremely lazy or a dirty thing to do to a returning customer. I made a complaint on Uber eats so not sure it went though. If you decide to order goat, make sure you check your order if you can. As you can see by my photos it's very large bones as well as shards of bones in each bite. That's a food safety issue in my opinion. On top of me not getting my value in what I paid for since most of my meal was bones and cartilage. 1/10 for this order

Garlic naan (2)
Kat Z.

They are so sweet and friendly and the food is delicious! My favorite was the garlic naan. They play lovely music in the restaurant so I recommend eating in the restaurant not just ordering take out!

Lamb Curry+ Tandoori Chicken with Naans bread
Glenn J D.

After reading past reviews on Masala Restaurant, I was very encouraged to visit the place. The restaurant was empty but the hostess/waitress was a very engaging young lady that seated me at the window table. After reviewing the menu I ordered a mixed green house salad, tandoori chicken served with basmati white rice, naan garlic bread. I also ordered the curry lamb. Once the food was ready it was served all at once. Everything was served hot and was favorable. I was very pleased. This restaurant has a very diverse client based that was coming into the restaurant to pickup take out orders. The service was wonderful. I'm happy that I found a non pretentious mom and pop local restaurant serving the West Warwick Rhode Island neighborhood. I will definitely return when I'm in town.

Deirdre B.

Okay so took an overnight trip to Warwick/ providence area and wanted some Indian food. Go to Masala. This was was incredible. The staff, 10/10. The food 10/10. Best decision we made on our trip was trying Masala. The apps were delicious. The side sauces were refreshing. The main dishes were perfectly seasoned and the naan to die for. Do yourself a favor and check out Masala if you are in Rhode Island. We will definitely come back next time we are in RI!

I am so glad Masala moved to Warwick! It's such a great deal- $10 for a quick, healthy lunch buffet- you can't beat it!

Shrimp biryani. Lamb Rogan Josh. Malai chicken tikka. All the flavors were amazing and fresh. It's hard to find good Indian places. But this one was definitely worth trying. The spice level was custom to our order. Would definitely go back.

We got a new Indian restaurant in town! Decided to give it a shot and came here with one of my…read morefriends and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed everything from the samosas to the curry. The staff was extremely nice and attentive, it was a Friday night and the place was full with many families dining in which was cool to see. With that, service was a bit slower but we were checked on consistently which was appreciated. For apps we got samosas and the fried onion dish. Both delicious. The green (mint-yogurt?) sauce that came with the samosas was delicious. The fried onion dish was good, I enjoyed the curry leaves and spices in them, they essentially felt like the Indian street food version of onion rings. The curry: I got Goat Chettinad and my friend got Lamb Rogan Josh. Both delicious. Goat Chettinad has a thick curry with coconut milk in the base with turmeric, ginger and all the other great spices that come along. The goat pieces were a little lackluster, not as much meat and a lot of bone. I would get a different meat next time, though, I'm sure this is variable from order to order as goat usually is. The lamb rogan Josh, which I was able to try, was delicious. Bright flavor, tangy, deep ruby red curry and the lamb pieces were plentiful and tender. A slight smokiness from black cardamom, packed with Kashmiri chili, it had such great depth of flavor. Eaten along with some garlic naan which was light, fluffy and had some slight charring around the edges which is exactly how I like it. Also, the parathas. If you haven't had these before, order them. Flakey, buttery and delicious. I've made them at home before and these are better than anything i can muster up! (Probably on account of more butter.. Makes everything better). The curry was quite heavy on the oil/ghee, so be mindful if you're sensitive to that. Also, I enjoy spice, but for rogan Josh which has a kashmiri chili paste base, be careful ordering "spicy". Or if you're a medium person, you may want to go mild. I liked their "medium" for rogan Josh and the "spicy" for the Chettinad but I enjoy spice. I'd recommend trying this spot out, I'll definitely be back.
