    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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

    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.

    Garlic naan (2)

    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.

    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...

    Mango Lassi
    Stephanie L.

    Amazing food! I've been looking for a Indian place that does Samosa Chaat since I moved to the area and they did not disappoint. Slightly different than what I'm used to but none the less, flavorful and delicious. The Lamb tikka masala was also great. The Lamb was super tender and the sauce was delicious. The mango lassi was smooth and thick and had a great mango flavor. There's a parking lot and plenty of parking . A little weird though because the most of the lot is at incline but had no issues finding a spot.

    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 definitely a lover of Indian food. I am from the Caribbean and was not exposed to Indian food…read moretill about 15 years ago. I am only sorry it took me this long to try it. I love it and I always end up choosing new at least one new thing even though I have my usuals. I live just about 15 minutes from this place and I was always confused thinking it was just a buffet, which I found out it is on the weekends but you can order a la carte other days. I was extremely surprised to come by on a Tuesday only 2 days before Christmas and find the place pack and tons of to go orders. Everyone inside seemed like family and greeted us with a big smile. The waiter was attentive enough and brought us a bottle of water for the table which I appreciate it. We first decided to order a beer I love and new in the brewery industry called Rupee. I absolutely love the subtle spice flavors while being a very light beer. Then I tried for the very first time a beer called Golden Monkey. I was warned by the waiter that this beer was very strong (big smile); and it was. But the nicest coolest thing about this beer is how it tasted, I was doing a little dance and humming as I tasted it over and over. I can smell the clove and sweet spiced notes on this beer. It was a bit heavier but also so crisp, and boy did it hit you. It hit you hard (smile). Of course we only had one of these so that we can save enough space for the food. We order garlic naan and of course they also brought us some treats to snack on and I love that. We ordered the MM Kabab Sampler which was very tasty and was delivered to our table sizzling. We also tried the Lamb Tokari for the first time, this coconut and cumin sauce did not disappoint. And as usual we got Chicken Tikka Masala as well. We love this sauce. I only have to complaint that I wished it was dark meat but the flavors were excellent and we had every bit of it including the sauce. We had so much food we took a lot home for lunch the next day. Prices were very reasonable and portions were great. I loved it so much and have been telling my friends about it all week. I will definitely order from here again or come in for sit down dinner.

The prices are reasonable, so are the portions and the flavors always kick in the best ways! If you're looking for a no-frills, cozy and delicious place to try, I say don't skip out on Not Just Snacks. Our favorite appetizers are hands down the pani puri, honey and ginger naan, tandoori and beef kebab. The pani puri is an interactive experience, where you hollow out the shells and fill them up with ground chickpeas and spicy sauce - very flavorful and fun! The honey and ginger naan is great to cut down on spicy dishes but eating it alone is dangerous - it's too dang good! I loved the tandoori chicken, a super flavorful thigh w/crispy skin. The beef kebab was just as tasty, packed with all kinds of spices that make it a winner in my book. Now, that was just the apps! Quite consistently, I always always always order the lamb (or beef) vindaloo. I have to warn you that this dish is certainly not for the weak - spice lovers only! The tender chunks of meat pair quite well in the pool of spice, potatoes and my favorite, chilis. There is an option to pair the vindaloo with rice or naan, with my heart devoted to the former. To put in perspective how spicy the lamb vindaloo is, you'll likely need refills upon refills of water. Nonetheless, if you can REALLY handle heat, the vindaloo is made for you. I alter between lamb and beef, depending on the mood. This time around I tried the shrimp dopiaza and wheat roti. The shrimp entree was quite sweet, with 5 shrimps total. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of anything wheat, hence the roti ranked lower on my scale. Overall, Not Just Snacks holds a special place in my heart (and stomach). The family that serves us is always friendly, especially the younger gentleman. The chef often comes out to check up on us and I believe that's a very kind gesture. The woman as well always greets us with a smile.
