I ordered lunch from Masala Wok through LunchDrop last week and went with the Hakka Noodles with extra shrimp and a side of garlic naan. I've had Hakka noodles plenty of times before -- the real Indo‑Chinese kind that come out of a screaming‑hot wok with smoky wok‑hei, garlic that hits your nose before your fork, and veggies that still have a little crunch. This... wasn't that. The noodles were hot, but hot just to be hot, not hot with flavor. The spice tasted papery, like crushed red pepper that never bloomed in oil, so instead of depth you get this dry heat that sits on your tongue and doesn't go anywhere. For a dish described as chili‑seared with hot garlic soy, scallions, cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, and onions, I expected way more personality. Traditional Hakka noodles have layers to include savory, tangy, a little smoky, a little garlicky. These tasted more like plain stir‑fried noodles someone dusted with heat at the end. The shrimp were fine but didn't add much. And the garlic naan was... naan. Nothing memorable, nothing offensive. For a place that advertises itself as "distinctive and bold" with Indo‑Asian flavors, this bowl felt like it played things way too safe. No wok‑char, no umami punch, no garlic‑soy depth -- just noodles that were spicy for the sake of being spicy. I love Indo‑Chinese food, and Masala Wok has a fun concept, but this dish missed the mark for me. Maybe other menu items shine more, but the Hakka Noodles weren't it today. Yelp fam, if you gotten something great from here...do tell! read more

We tried it for the first time and food was decent. The Indian dishes were much better than Chinese. The chicken tikka bowl was our favorite. Chinese was just ok. We may not try it again as we did not enjoy it as much as we expected. Also the place looked a little run down. read more

Lunchdrop for work today! Masala wok saved my famished self lol. I ordered paneer tikka kabobs and was super happy with the sauce and naan bread. It's fresh! My vegetarian colleague had a stick and she liked it (that's a compliment she is picky!) It arrived on time and they didn't forget my utensil! Recommended for both meat lovers and vegetarians! read more

I have been here 3 times now. It's a great place to get Asian/Indian fusion food. I got chicken lollipop one time, and the sauce it came with it paired really well with the chicken. I got Chicken 65 Briyani, and it was surprisingly well made as well. I got some variety of noodles one time. It wasn't my favorite, it could have been better. Masala chai was less than $3 and it was a good caffeine drink to try. read more

June 18, 2025 review: ---- Ofcourse, this is my favorite Indian fusion place in Austin. Nothing can match their wrap or fried rice. This time, instead of my regular tofu shezwan rice, I tried paneer 65 wrap while my husband got the tandoori wrap. They were both full with lots of paneer and similar taste but would say that paneer 65 was little bit more tangy in taste. So I liked that one slightly over tandoori. I like how they have changed the salad portion - which now comes in a side togo bowl instead of small cup, back in 2019. My only feedback to restaurant would be to use the paper based bowl instead of plastic for salad as well. I also like the tikla masala sauce that comes with wrap. Price is $13 for each wrap and quantity is pretty good for one person. We got our food in around 10 mins, it was Wednesday so not a lot of folks but just some to-go orders. read more

Everything on the menu is AMAZING!! Today I tried the "spicy pepper with chicken" (spicy level) and it was everything I needed!!! I'm so happy with this choice, I usually stick with the chicken 65 and other bowls but this is my new favorite!! read more

My first experience was through lunch drop at work. I realized it's too far from my house so for the past 3 weeks I have been driving into Austin for the Sichuan veggie-tofu fried rice (extra tofu). I like spicy so the heat was perfect and the tofu was fried to perfection. The service was quick and has been consistent. The portions are huge so one order of fried rice could feed 2-3 people (I usually eat mine for a couple days. The ambiance is typical restaurant take out in a shopping center, not too fancy but clean and organized. They do have tap to pay and good drink fountain options. I should probably give it a rest but it's so addicting! read more

I pass this place all the time when I'm shopping at Arbor Walk and we finally popped in. Service was fast and friendly, food was very tasty, menu had a lot of options, and it's super affordable. What more do you need? Plenty of parking, inside is clean, great stop for a quick bite. And the portions were huge. One meal was more than plenty for the 2 of us. read more

Not only do they have the freshest ingredients, in my humble opinion, this is probably the best tikka masala I've ever had in my life. They let me add on extra paneer AND they let you choose your spiciness. Their hot and sour soup is so good. The ladies at work the register are absolutely fabulous. I typically order by phone and just come and pick up, and they're always quick with the order even though I know they're busy! read more

This is my favorite location of this chain. Consistently great service and above average food. They do a particularly good job with their naan. Clean and comfortable, with plenty of parking due to big shopping center location. read more

had to throw away all of it. we're very familiar with indian cuisine, and spicy foods. this place is a joke. the food was ABSOLUTELY INEDIBLE. this place must get quite a giggle out of torturing folks that pay good money. fyi: they gave 3 choices regarding spice level: house spicy xerox spicy here's a clue, don't eat here unless you enjoy having your gums, tongue, and lips throb. i'm so disgusted read more

I ordered takeout from this restaurant, and it was my first experience ordering from here. My normal go to place was closed that day, so I was excited to try somewhere new. I got the. butter chicken meal that came with rice, and a side of naan bread for $16. I also added a side of samosas for $6. The butter chicken was good, but it was definitely not the normal color of butter chicken and while it tasted good, I've definitely had better butter chicken. While it definitely gives you more than one serving, I think that price point is a bit high for the what it is. They do give you naan with it, but it's a single piece, definitely not enough for the meal. So if a normal butter chicken meal costs around $14, usually you can add a side of plain naan for $2-3, but you get about double the naan. The samosas were a good size. THey had a alot of filling and the sauce was good, but hey were a touch greasy. Overall, it was pretty in line with what a expected a chain Indian restaurant to be. I wouldn't turn my nose up at it, but there are other places I do enjoy more for the value. read more

I ordered this on Doordash. This is easily the worst Indian food I've had in town. It's really hard to make a bad butter masala, but they manage to. Also, it's basically an individual portion with one samosa. I thought it'd be a good deal, but it's really not. $30 for this? Total ripoff. read more

Y'all the Indian food in Austin absolutely SLAYS My friends know all the gems and yesterday while checking out the hot DILF's at Home Depot, my friend recommended a lil place around the corner called @masalawok Good lord. Open that door and you will smell scents from the heavens. We were immediately greeted by lovely people and I had no clue what to get as everything looked sexy. The sweet lady gave me samples, I wish I caught her name. And I ended up getting a yellow curry based dish she recommended. My god. I also tried a thicccc sample of the Tika Masala and I would def roll with that as well. I always go lamb when I have the option but the lady said that the chicken is a must for my dish, I got it HOT and they didn't give me white girl hot. They laid it on me. It was Amazeballs. I cannot recommend the garlic naan enough because it is sooo thin and so flavorful and just perfect. If y'all ever in north austin check this place out right after you check out the DILF's at @homedepot Pro tip: save some for later so after you rampage the bars you can sit that puppy on you belly and enjoy another round. The flavors only get better with time. You won't regret it. Let's give this place some LOVE! Over and out read more

The food here was incredible!! It was too good to wait before digging in so the pictures are half eaten. The staff was also incredibly friendly and even though they misheard my order they were more than happy to accomodate me to get that fixed. The ambient was also really nice with good music, cleaniness, and beautifully designed interior. Also there are plugs and wifi so you can study or work there like at a cafe. It's important to note that this is an Indian restaurant, so obviously the other cuisines they sell here aren't as good- that's my take on the bad reviews. read more

The food was different this time around, just not as flavorful or spicy as it usually is. We asked for the 'hot' level and they let us sample the medium up front and neither level was really spicy at all. We saw some other customers complaining that their food didn't taste the same as the last time they got it when they were asked how their meal was and the manager argued with them and told them not to waste their money ordering things they didn't like despite them mentioning they would always order the same thing. So that was not great to witness. Honestly was willing to give it another shot because we had chalked it up to a bad day but after seeing the manager ridicule and try to shame the other customers, after asking them how the food was, let us know we won't be returning. read more

This was my second time trying this place; first time dining in, and the food and customer service are great! They have a huge menu of Chinese and Indian dishes-- so far I've tried the Masala Fries, Chicken Pad Thai and the Lamb Biryani. All were good, but the lamb Biryani was the standout dish! Great flavors and the spice was on point. The Masala Fries were just ok-- nicely cooked fries in a masala sauce. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu! read more

This is one of my favorite fusion Indian restaurants. The food is Indo-Chinese comfort food. I usually get the Pudina Paneer kabob- a combination of grilled paneer cubes, rice, naan, and a side of curry sauce. I like that this dish is consistently good for a quick weekday lunch. I have also tried the hot and sour soup here, bit it was way too salty and the spices were way off too. The chai here is average. The location is super convenient (North-central Austin) and there is ample parking in the parking lot. The service is fast and the customer service overall is above average. Tip: the place can get really busy from 11.30-1 pm so try getting here right after lunch time. read more

Masala Wok - Pudina Paneer Kabobs - Indian Near Me - Austin, Texas

I moved out to Austin a few months ago and the first thing I did was the try the Indian food. I picked some upscale restaurant and I was genuinely disappointed at its inauthenticity. For months, I didn't dare order from another Indian place. Until last week that is! I ordered from Masala Wok on a whim and it immediately transported me to my mom's kitchen. It was authentic and exactly what I wanted. I ordered the Malia Kofta and a samosa chat and both were sooooo good! The entrée came with rice and naan which took the meal from good the fantastic. There was enough food for me to ration this into three whole meals! I will not be trying any other places because I've found my go to Indian spot! read more

Love love love this place!!!! Absolutely love the tikka masala!!! I come back again and again !

This place is pretty good! The food isn't authentic but it's like going to Panda Express instead of an authentic Asian restaurant. The portion, price, and atmosphere is very nice. For $11 you get rice, curry, and a side of naan at a Panda Express style type of place. It's not for me, but it's good for people who don't have a lot of time and prefer a hot lunch over a sandwich. I for the chicken korma and it tasted a bit too sweet for my liking, but I enjoyed my food. read more

Masala Wok - 2 entrees - Indian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Thai and Indian are a few of my favorite cuisines so I was elated at the concept of combining them into one restaurant. It isn't the most authentic food, but I think it is an okay place to pick up a quick 'fast food' meal - it curbs the craving. We ordered the Thai Dynamite, Biryani, and Tandoori Wrap. They were decent sized portions. These were all good, but I'm not sure I would pick these items again given the variety of items on the menu. read more

This review is unfortunately not about the food, for which we travelled all the way from San Marcos, the moment we (me, my wife and 3 year old son) entered the restaurant we started getting the negative vibes from the lady at the counter... firstly it is important to mention that there was no one else in the restaurant except us, the kid was just playing on the side sofa with his shoes off, she came and told him to move away as she was cleaning there. Then we sat down, it was 8:05pm, she came at 8:09 and said "we are closing in 20 mins, order now". Then we ordered the food, the kid was playing on the same sofa which was far from their kitchen and cash counter, she came again and said "control your kid, he is disturbing the restaurant`s atmosphere" .On this my wife told her that he is just a 3 year old kid who is playing around, to which she said that other kids don`t do this in a very rude tone. We then asked her if then we should leave as we cant do anything about it and she didn`t say anything and kept on cleaning the already clean floor for the 3rd time since we came. After which we got up and told her to cancel the order, which she did immediately and told the kitchen staff which we could hear " I don`t know why they cancelled", obviously the kitchen staff must have been already half way done in preparing our order. We felt insulted and it was like she deliberately created such scenes so we may leave their restaurant. Being south Asians and looking for halal food, we travelled a long way to try food here but were insulted by their racist behavior. By the time we left from there it was already 8:40pm, and most of the restaurants close by 9pm, hence we just hit a restaurant near highway which was about to close and had some food there before leaving for our home. read more

I miss the Masala Wok pre-pandemic. It sounds like they have a new chef and the food is only half as decent - too oily and heavy.

This is an Austin classic. Has been around for a while, but they need a shout out for keeping it real for all these years!. I really like the hot wok style of food. I know my food got cooked when I see steam rising from it. Food comes in multiple spice levels (which I like). My personal fav is the Goan Vindaloo with Chicken (Original hot). Yummy, fresh food in right proportions served quick. Perfect lunch option. Please come back to Cedar Park. We need you!. (The Indian food scene in Cedar Park is pathetic. Masala Wok will rule!). read more

Oh how I've missed thee!! After moving to Florida I knew the first meal I wanted was Masala Wok when I touched down in Austin. I love the fact that their Thai Pepper Rice was still green.

Second time here and we just loved the chicken masala so much! The hot was definitely nose dripping and eye watery but oh so good! We first came in June and they had dine-in as an option. But now in July it's takeout and curbside pickup only. They do however have an outdoor seating area nearby, I think its actually part of a neighboring restaurant but we sat and ate there anyways. The service here has been amazing and they do wear masks and sanitize. They have sanitizer available. My only complaint was that last month the bathroom looked like it could use some renovations ih n comparison to the dining area, but I didn't remove a star for this because it was still clean. The food comes out hot and fresh and everything was super flavorful! The sodas they offer are delicious and have no artificial ingredients in them! They also use compostable materials which is a huge plus in my book! #gogreen Next time we will give their asian cuisine a try but I'd definitely recommend you try them out! read more
