The food was so delicious. I got a curry lamb taco and chicken empanadas and both were rich with flavor. The service was very friendly and there were comfortable couches to sit while eating. P.S. I came back again to get a bowl and it was so scrumptious omg read more

Ordered Butter Chicken Bliss Kati Roll, Samosa Chat Masala Lamb Bowl, Butter Chicken Taco, and Chips & Queso. We really like the Butter Chicken Bliss Kati Roll, Butter Chicken Taco, and Chips & Queso. The chips are really nice, crispy and not greasy. I never had samosa chat so thought I give it a try. Not saying it was bad but just my acquire taste. It was mushy but flavor was good. The lamb bowl was good and I like the biryani rice. Just feel the piece of lamb I had was bit chewy and gamey. Overall food was great and service was amazing. read more

Came during their one year anniversary where they had a 50% off deal Thought it was okay, although my main issue was that its not very flavorful for Indian. I've had Mexican Indian fusion in manhattan which I thought was better. Got the lamb bowl, and I couldn't really pick up any Mexican flavors. They did load it with sour cream... not sure if that was meant to be the "mexican" element. They did include a decent amount of lamb, which was nice. Butter chicken taco was not good at all. Barely any chicken, and again a little flavorless Service wasn't the best. I mentioned I was a first timer, but the server didnt really provide any suggestions. read more

Avoid. The reviews fooled me. Food was seriously lacking flavor and the samosa chat is disgusting. Threw most of the food out. read more

I stopped in at this restaurant for dinner. When I arrived I had to circle and I finally found a spot. I walked into a cozy place. I ordered ate the kiosk and I ordered: Mango Lassi Chicken Naandilla Curry Lamb Taco Chana Sonberero Kati Roll Twistanadas Paneer Tikka I loved the Mango Lassi and chicken bowl! The food in general was delicious! All in all a good experience! read more

Got the paneer passion bowl, and it was pretty good. The one thing that bothered me was the majority of the bowl (rice and vegetables) was kind of cold/room temperature, but the paneer was really hot, which felt like too much of a contrast against the remainder of the bowl temperature wise. read more

Masalamex - Paneer Passion Bowl - Indian Near Me - Westfield, New Jersey

An interesting concept of Chipotle-style bowls with Indian food. We were visiting our family in NJ and when we were wondering where to go, this recommendation popped up. So we went. We ordered a plethora of items from their signature menu, like the Butter Paneer taco, samosa taco, and Tandoori Paneer Kati roll. I liked them all. Some of the other folks in our group ordered some chicken based dishes and said they were quite good as well. It's unique and fresh and such cute names of the items like Naandilla and Chana Sombrero! The girl behind the service counter was extremely friendly and helped us with options. read more

Masalamex - Indian Near Me - Westfield, New Jersey

Fun fast casual restaurant that blends Indian spices with Mexican street food. They have customizable bowls and some classic Indian street snacks, as well as creative fusion options (like paneer rice bowl, butter chicken tacos, tajin mango lassi etc.). I tried a paneer kati roll, which was smaller than expected but nice and tasty - I especially enjoyed the cilantro mentha dipping sauce that it came with. Staff was very friendly. The interior is sleek, dark, and modern, though I think the restaurant might be more enticing if they embraced the bright colors of India or Mexico. Regardless, a unique and flavorful restaurant to check out! read more

Great concept of bringing South Asian flare to Mexican food. Location is perfect - in the heart of Westfield. Inside was super hot but since there was an outdoor seating, it was fine. We got two of their naan tacos - butter paneer and chicken tikka. Both were good. Also got two of their twistnadas and they were fried fresh. The service was great. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Will definitely come back when in the area. read more

A super cute, modern spot tucked along a bustling street! The food is fresh, flavorful, and the Indian-Mexican fusion concept is incredibly well-executed. The variety of sauces and toppings add exciting layers to each dish--bold flavors with customizable spice levels that really stand out. The samosa chaat was bursting with authentic Indian flavors, just the way it should be. The "Build Your Own Bowl" was loaded with delicious protein options, and the Chicken Kathi Roll was a standout--tender, juicy, and packed with flavor thanks to the perfect sauce pairing. The service is quick and the staff is friendly. A great place for quick bites that don't compromise on taste. Highly recommend! read more

Chipotle meets Indian food but with much more quality and flavor. You create your own dish walking down the counter and selecting ingredients/ mexican rice or biryani protein (paneer is an option) curry sauce, butter masala, etc black beans, channa masala, etc toppings more sauces including chutneys, what elote too!? Naan on the side please- made to order. You can create a lot of flavor if you are creative! Friendly staff, street parking or a few municipal lots. Will be back with the fam. Why 4 stars instead of 5? The paneer temp was a bit lukewarm, would have loved for it to be hot. read more

First time dining here, and the food was absolutely incredible! I opted for the taco with chicken and butter gravy, while my girlfriend chose a bowl of chicken and biryani rice. The delightful fusion of Indian and Mexican flavors was a perfect harmony, and the twistanada and sauce complemented each other perfectly. If you're a fan of spicy food, this dish was just right. The service was equally impressive. The two gentlemen who assisted us were patient, knowledgeable, and attentive, even though they were busy. Their helpfulness made our dining experience enjoyable from beginning to end. Thank you to these two gentlemen for making our visit truly memorable! The ambiance is really chill as well clean seats and tables. Comfortable to say the least read more

Wish I had read the other 1 star review before placing my order, because I also ordered DoorDash and live just a few minutes away, the food was completely cold. The lamb taco was terribly chewy - unpalatable meat, and absolutely full of liquid. Just drowning in liquid. The chicken Kati roll was very mediocre.. I wouldn't recommend. Interesting concept but poor execution. read more

Masalamex has the best parts of chipotle and your local indian spot, delivered in a savory bowl that provides a bang for your buck. I went with my family and were greeted by friendly staff members who answered all of our questions and made our bowls to perfection. You can order at the kiosk or at the counter for a BYO bowl. I got their signature paneer bowl with the chana masala instead of the black beans and it was so good. I've had indian fusion bowls in many different cities before and always feel like they're overpriced and bland, but these bowls FINALLY hit the spot. The paneer was super soft and plentiful, the mix-ins and sauces pack flavor in every bite, and the spice level can be customized based on what you end. The portions are huge and I got 2 meals out of 1 serving. They do have indoor seating but its limited, so I would recommend take out or sitting outside by the towns outdoor seating if you have a larger group. Overall, this is a place I can see myself frequenting whenever I'm in town. Definitely vegetarian & vegan friendly with gluten free options as well read more

Delicious food that you can make as Indian or Mexican based as you want. So many options for add ons as well. Owner was very kind and walked us through the menu and sauces as it was our first tjme. There is a nice sit down area as well where we enjoyed our food. Overall an amazing first experience and I'm already craving it, planning to return next weekend. I read more

Westfield has gained a new eatery and it is a unique fusion restaurant combining Indian and Mexican cuisine into one. Located on the same street as Fleet Feet (the former Jack Rabbit) at one end and Warby Parker at the other, it is in good company with other restaurants on the same block and across the street. Masalamex is designed to look very different than the other businesses on the block, with black being the primary color in the restaurant causing almost everything you order to contrast against it. It actually has the feel of a lounge with some plush seating. You could probably fit about 8-10 people here max. Beyond that is the counter where you order with several LCD screens overhead showing what they have to offer. One of Masalamex's primary dishes are their bowls which can feature Mexican rice with curry. However, on my first visit other dishes caught my eye. Here's what my partner and I had: LAMB MASALA KATI ROLL This wrap features grilled lamb, fresh red onions, cilantro-mint sauce and signature masala. The cilantro-mint sauce is a generous amount. I dipped every bite of the roll into it and still had some left over! The lamb was cooked perfectly and the roll was nice and warm. I'd get this again any time. PANEER FIESTA KATI ROLL This roll features grilled paneer wrapped in a tortilla with onions, cilantro menta sauce and masala. In many ways it's basically the same as the Lamb roll but with paneer, yet somehow the flavor was very different and satisfying in a different way. Excellent alternative if you don't want to have meat. SAMOSA CHAT This savory dish features a samosa covered in spiced chickpeas, chutney, yogurt and sev. If you get a bit of the samosa and the sauce on top it's a wonderfully savory bite. I would say it would probably be delicious if you dipped naan into it as well! TWISTINADAS As the name suggests, these are Empanadas filled with Indian ingredients. We had chicken and panner, both of which were delicious. That said, for sheer "burst of flavor" factor the chicken definitely won. The staff was very attentive and answered a lot of questions from us and other customers. Keep in mind, we had this before their grand opening, so even during their soft opening this place was on point with their food. My only recommendation to them would be to stock a wider variety of drinks. I would have loved to have a Coke Zero or something with my meal but all their sodas were full sugar (which I'm not supposed to have for health reasons). They do offer complimentary water which I appreciated. Masalamex is excellent and before I left I was already thinking about my next visit! read more

Masalamex is a nice addition to downtown Westfield and definitely gets an A for effort and flavor. I got the lamb bowl and really enjoy the spice and flavors. If I was being picky, I'd say the lamb was a tad dry and the combination of the saag sauce, the spicy sauce, and the elote made it all really heavy. But, I still really enjoyed it. The bowl was very reasonably priced too. I also really enjoyed the samosa. The naan was solid. Not a place I'll crave, but will definitely go back and is worth a try. I hope it does well. read more

Service was kind and restaurant was clean. We ordered a bowl and a quesadilla. The bowl came with three sauces which was nice - the cilantro sauce was good. I was surprised at the rice texture, it was mushy which was a little disappointing. The fusion aspect of it for me was a little lacking. Quesadilla was solid. Server didn't have much info on allergens specifically gluten, so that would be helpful in the future. read more

Food was mid at best, saw all the videos on social media hyping it up but did not live up to the expectations. The food was really watery from the sauces and the flavor was ok nothing too crazy. The concept is nice but execution isn't there. Service was good was greater with a warm welcome and asked if I had any questions to let them know, food did however take a little while to come out. read more

Stopped by for lunch and can say I was pleasantly surprised. I don't have much exposure to Indian food but this fusion mix was delicious as a first timer. I had a bowl, empanadas, two beverages and two orders of cheesy garlic naan. This place is relatively new but running smoothly. The owner was patient as he described each bowl option. I really appreciated how fresh the food was and the quality customer service. I can't wait to visit again! read more

Absolutely loved my visit to Masala Mex! The food was delicious and packed with flavor. We tried the Velvety Chicken Bowl and a create-your-own Naan Bowl--both were amazing. The Velvety Chicken Bowl in particular had such a unique mix of flavors that complemented each other perfectly. We also couldn't resist trying the desserts, which did not disappoint. On top of that, the staff was super friendly and welcoming. Definitely a spot I'd recommend and plan to come back to! read more

What a terrific addition to the Westfield/Union County food scene. This restaurant takes the current "bowl" craze and ramps it us with the merging of Indian and Mexican favorites. I stuck with primarily Indian options and chose a naan bowl, in which a freshly made naan bread -- with optional flavors, such as garlic -- is topped with your selection of rices, proteins, sauces, etc. I opted for chicken, chana masala, and saag, to which I added pickled onions (delicious and a must) and arugula. Everything merged amazingly well. My husband chose similar options and also really enjoyed his meal. Can't wait to go back! A special shout-out to the friendly and helpful staff. read more

I saw God in a taco and He was wearing a tikka masala crown Listen. I went into MasalaMex thinking, "Okay, Indian-Mexican fusion, cute gimmick, I'll nibble politely and go home." Cut to 45 minutes later: I'm clutching a butter chicken taco like it's the Holy Grail, whispering apologies to every other restaurant I've ever loved. The paneer quesadilla didn't just slap - it emotionally healed me. The Chana sombrero Kati roll? I can't legally call it "transcendent," but I will say I briefly lost touch with linear time. Somewhere between the cheesy tots and the tajin mango lassi, my chakras aligned, my student loans felt lighter, and I swear I heard a mariachi band playing "Jai Ho." The staff? Angels. Saints. Culinary therapists. One of them saw the pure rapture on my face and just gave me a knowing nod like, "Yeah, we get that a lot." I'm not saying they're serving enlightenment by the plate, but if Buddha had been born in New Jersey, this would've been his spot. I left Masalamex in a daze - part bliss, part butter chicken coma - and immediately started texting everyone I've ever met: "STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING. GO. NOW." In conclusion: If you haven't experienced Masalamex yet, your life is still in beta testing. read more

Delicious! Ordered takeout. Had low expectations but I was pleasantly surprised. The paneer tacos were simply AMAZING. We also got the paneer Kati roll and paneer bowl which were also good. This easily scores a place on my take out list! read more

Really cool concept and very well executed... I would know, I'm half Indian half Mexican! We enjoyed a custom rice based MexiLamb bowl with basically all the add ins and a paneer naandilla. The young lady taking our order was also so nice. Open one in Morristown please!!! I may want to be involved ! read more

Food is great. I like the kati roll i just had a lot! Nice texture and spice. Friendly service. Chill techno new age music. Clean.

Loved getting to try this new place in Westfield! I did the create your own bowl option and was happy to see that they had so many things to choose from. The food was really delicious in my opinion and I loved the mix of flavors. Service was very respectful and kind. The place is a little small, but there's a fair amount of seating including both inside and outside. Ambiance was nice, it was a nice and clean, cozy spot to chat in. Definitely would want to come again. read more

I was passing through Westfield when I asked for recommendations for food. I am so glad someone gave me an idea to look for tacos because this Indian/Mexican place popped up first on yelp. The ambiance is quite cozy and modern. The food tasted amazing. I was recommended the Kati roll by the guy at the register and I didn't know what to get. So I ordered the tandoori pollo and the lamb masala. Let me tell you... both amazing! I will have to now go out of my way to try more dishes in the near future. I wish I took pictures of the food to post up here but I devoured it. read more

We hired Masalamex for our daughter's first birthday and could not have been happier! From start to finish, they were an absolute pleasure to work with--responsive, flexible, and made the entire process so easy. On the day of the party, the presentation was beautiful and exceeded all of our expectations. The food was not only stunning to look at but absolutely delicious--our guests are still talking about it! I'm so grateful to the team for helping make such an important milestone so special. We will definitely be using them again for future events! read more

We happened to be passing through Westfield today and stopped in at this spot I'd read about months ago (pre opening) and promptly forgotten about. Overall, the experience was great with just a couple bumps, which may be attributable to two months in business We both had bowls, and loved the array of customizations. Two vegetarians, one had paneer, the other sofritas (tofu). Problem one: the tofu needed to be made to order, prompting a delay of about ten minutes in the prep of one bowl. We were encouraged to get naan at the register. Problem 2, the naan had to be made to order. That took about 15 minutes. Person 1 was eating her paneer for ten minutes before person 2 sat down with her sofritas bowl, and, thanks to the cool toppings and passage of time, both dishes were cold and mostly gone before the naan appeared. That said, aside from these wrinkles, the food was very good and such a creative idea--blending two of the greatest cuisines on earth!! The tofu itself didn't have a ton of flavor, but the butter sauce more than made up for it!! Add pickled onions, jalapeños, pico, and some of their awesome sauces, and, well, it's amazing (imagine Chipotle and Cava having a baby that is three quarters Indian, one quarter Mexican. Such a cool idea!). If the naan could somehow be fired before the rest of the food was compiled, that would be one way to ensure things move more smoothly. Checking with the party about their protein options would be another to smooth operation (ie, let's wait a minute to start putting the bowls together because the sofritas is going to take ten minutes). For close to $60 for two bowls, two drinks, and two naan (we only needed one, by the way!), the experience would have been much improved if we could have eaten together and enjoyed the naan while our food was hot. That said, we'll definitely try again when we are near Westfield!! read more

Amazing FRESH food. There are also fantastic homemade beverages available. The workers were all so kind and suggested some things of their personal favorites. Inside there is a calming welcomed feeling. Accompanied by indoor or outdoor shaded and sun light seating. read more

Very very solid experience eating here. I had no clue what to get at first, so I talked to the team there and they customized a bowl based off my preferences. The chicken is so much better than chiptole's chicken and I loved the sauces. MAKE SURE YOU EAT THE KATI ROLL. I found this place from tiktok and now I have it probably twice a week. read more

Yummy food and really helpful staff. I had the butter chicken nachos and a chicken bowl. Very flavorful and not too spicy.

Sorry, not good. Really wanted to like this place, but just as it says - Mexican and Indian mixed together "Chipotle" style that clashed. Oh, and no white meat chicken is a HUGE miss! read more
