Masti is hands down my favorite place to get butter chicken in the entire DMV! They also have a sister location in Old Town Alexandria called Indochen. One thing I really love about Masti is how thoughtfully the menu is put together. The dishes and even the cocktails feel carefully selected, which makes the experience feel a little more personal than your typical restaurant. The service is phenomenal, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is one of my favorite things about this place. It has a lively vibe without being so loud that you can't hear yourself speak. I love being able to sit down, enjoy good food, and actually hold a conversation. On my most recent visit, our server recommended the Kale Chaat, and it was an excellent choice! We also had the Chili Paneer as an appetizer. For my main course, I had my favorite: butter chicken with basmati rice and garlic naan. I paired it with the Cheeni Espresso cocktail, which is TO DIE FOR. It surprisingly reminds me of a piña colada, and I absolutely love it. The interior is also beautiful, from the lighting to the colors and overall design. Everything comes together to create such a warm and inviting atmosphere. I may be a little biased because I'm a HUGE Masti fan, but this is genuinely one of my favorite restaurants. I will travel across the DMV for their food without hesitation. If butter chicken, great cocktails, beautiful interiors, and a relaxed atmosphere are your thing, Masti is definitely worth trying! read more

Was delightfully surprised. I'm usually not a huge fan of Indian food but we were at RTC for a kids festival and wanted to stay close to the action. It's great that parking is free in the nearby ramps on the weekend. The restrooms aren't far but you do need to exit the restaurants. The server was attentive and friendly. She got my daughter a kid friendly water cup and spoon. She also suggested non spicy options since I wanted to make sure my toddler would try as much as possible. Portions were generous and drinks were delicious. My toddler was still a little bit picky and honestly I'm not used to all of the traditional Indian spices but I'm glad we tried it. Also it was a bit on the pricey side but to be expected given the location and more elevated ambiance. We were able to bring home some leftovers which was nice not having to stress out about another meal afterwards. read more

Masti - Steamed momo - Indian Near Me - Reston, Virginia

Starting with the positives: because this restaurant is connected to Reston Town Center and located on the Hyatt Regency premises, there is plenty of parking nearby. While hotel parking requires a fee, you can park in any of the Town Center lots for free after 5 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends. Inside, the space is spacious and modern, and the service is quite good. Unfortunately, the food was a bit of a letdown. The kale salad and the mango & avocado salad were just okay, and the chat papadi was disappointing. Both chicken dishes we ordered, the chicken tandoor and chicken sekuwa, were average at best, and the Alu mutter tasted a bit strange. The Dal Makhani was the only decent dish and the saving grace of the meal. Additionally, the portion sizes for both the dal and the Alu mutter felt small for the price. Because the location is so fantastic, we will give them another chance on a weekday when it is less crowded. read more

I can confidently say this is my favorite Indian restaurant I've been to in the area so far. Everything from the food to the service exceeded my expectations. It's conveniently located in Reston Town Center inside the Hyatt Regency hotel. The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was rich, creamy, and had just the right amount of spice. It paired perfectly with the warm Garlic Naan, and I found myself reaching for every last bite. I also tried the Mango Lassi, which was smooth, refreshing, and a great balance to the spices in the meal. I'm already looking forward to coming back! read more

I adored this place so much. Kind of shocked on how good it was because of its location in a hotel. Everyone is very friendly the moment you walk in. Chili momo was as good as what I get in dc. Flavor incredible and vegetables cooked well. Also the lamb was so tender. Much better than a lot of places in the area. We would defined come back! read more

Masti - Chili momo and lamb vindaloo - Indian Near Me - Reston, Virginia

Delicious beautiful food but a bit overpriced. $20-30 for those little entrees. Service was excellent tho. We went on a Saturday for lunch and it was pretty empty. The chicken sekuwa (sorta like chicken kebab with Nepalese spices) was hands down our fav dish. read more

First impressions, cute place, trendy interiors and setup. The service was amazing, prompt and helpful and could be back cause of that one reason. The food was good, the appetizers, Shrimp Koliwada and Fish Fry were decent, but the batter and taste felt like the same. The Veg Momos (Sadeko) were the best, you could easily gobble em up, Chicken biryani was great, not too heavily spiced, and the rice and meat were cooked perfectly. The Goat curry, succulent meat and the brown gravy were well done. Chicken Chettinad wasn't really upto the mark, the Rabri Parfait was just ok. It's a great addition to the town center, they took the feedback well, surely a good visit when in the area read more

First time at Masti, and it did not disappoint. It's a modern Indian restaurant in the Reston area with a great vibe and even better food. We tried the steamed chicken momos with sauce on the side (9/10) -- light and flavorful. The tandoori chicken was the standout for me (10/10), perfectly seasoned and smoky. The Chicken Tikka Masala was also excellent (9/10), rich and comforting. Overall, a fantastic experience and definitely a must-try if you're in the Reston area. read more

This was my second time coming here, and to be honest I was a bit hesitant because my experience with the food the first time wasn't that great. But after this second experience I will definitely be coming back! The food we ordered recently hit the mark on every dish. My favorites were the mango avocado salad and the vegetable Hakka noodles. The salad was perfect for summer, super light and refreshing with a little bit of a kick with the sweet chili dressing, and the Hakka noodles were full of vegetables and the noodles themselves had the perfect flavor and consistency. I also tried the papri chaat, and the jackfruit kofta, which were both delicious as well. They have outdoor seating with a view of the turf at Reston town center. So it's a prefect place to sit, eat, and people watch! read more

I went to Masti with a friend on a Saturday for lunch. It's located Reston town center and there's plenty of free parking in the parking garages on the weekends. Parking is also free in the garages after 5 PM on weekdays. The ambience of this restaurant is very nice. It's a large space with lots of seating options for smaller groups as well as larger parties. We saw several families with children there so it seems like it is a kid friendly restaurant as well. We were seated right away and the service was decent, we had someone come right away to take our orders but we didn't have them coming in to check on us to see if we needed anything or needed more water. That aspect of the service could be improved. I ordered the Jhol lamb momo and my friend ordered the vegetarian momo. I enjoyed my Jhol Momo, they were very light and flavorful. The jhol is served cold here. I've had jhol momo before at other restaurants and the jhol was served hot, so just something to be aware of when you order this dish. My friend said that her vegetarian momo were not very flavorful. I also think that the prices were a little high for the portion size. For these reasons in addition to some improvements needed in the service area, I am rating this four stars instead of five stars. read more

The menu looked diverse and amazing. I ordered online and was staying at the hotel. I wanted to try different dishes that I've never had before. I got the garlic naan, chili chicken appetizer, and chicken korma. The naan was really good as well as the basmati rice. The chili chicken was good but a little too spicy for me. I didn't like the chicken korma at all, I was expecting a more nutty flavor, but I didn't taste any nutty flavor. I would love to try their many other dishes to get a better review and rating of their food. It only took 20 minutes to be ready. read more

I've been on the hunt for Jhol momo in the area and I was not disappointed when Masti opened in the location of the old Panera! The interiors are clean and bright, the service is fabulous, and they have a bunch of tables that would be great for huge groups. We ordered: - the kale chaat (do NOT skip this. I love me a good chaat and even my 1 year old ate this up) - Jhol momo (Loved! I really liked how you could choose your filling between lamb, chicken, and veggie. And there's other momo flavors as well) - the daal makhani (I love a daal makhani and this one did not disappoint - chicken tikka (good, not the craziest one I've ever had) - garlic naan (great!) Overall, I think this is an awesome addition to RTC and a sight for sore eyes (in a sea of Wine Bars and Ice Cream Shops). I look forward to returning and trying other menu items! read more

I liked this Indian spot in Reston Town Center! Big and spacious, and there were plenty of seats around 5 pm. I liked all the dishes I had, but I particularly liked the chili momo with lamb - nice crunch, lamb flavour, and spice to the dumplings! Service was pretty attentive too. If I'm back in the Reston Town Center area, I'd drop by again. read more

Better than the whole table thought it would be. Momos - steamed and chili. all were great Lamb vindaloo Goat biryani Garlic naan Food was amazing. P.K was the best drink so good.

I genuinely have nothing against mom-and-pop restaurants -- some of my favorite meals have come from tiny kitchens -- but this place is nowhere near the standard you'd expect in Reston Town Center. We were a party of six with a reservation, but apparently that just meant we got to wait 10 minutes in the lobby pretending we weren't starving. From the moment we walked in, everything felt chaotic. Staff were darting around with no system, and while everyone was polite, not one person looked like they had ever worked in a restaurant before. We started with the puri puri, which came out as a soggy shell with a little potato, a bit of egg, and a chutney so cold and dull it could've been straight from the fridge. Then came the fish pakora -- or as I now call it, "The Iceberg." I took one bite and the fish inside was frozen solid. The batter outside was warm-ish, the middle was an arctic expedition. No apology, no manager, nothing. They removed it from the bill but never brought a replacement or checked in. When we finally told them to cancel it, they said, "Yeah, we didn't make another one anyway." Perfect. The entrées didn't help. We ordered chicken vindaloo (2), chicken curry (2), chicken biryani, tandoori chicken, and butter chicken -- and they brought two tiny bowls of white rice for six people. When we asked for more, they reacted like we were asking for gold bullion: "Oh... you want more rice? We can bring more. Don't worry." Very weird. We're Middle Eastern and Asian -- spices are not new to us -- but even the mild dishes came out aggressively spicy, overly salty, and strangely lukewarm. Everything tasted like it had been heated unevenly, hot on the outside and warm or cold in the center. At this point I honestly wasn't convinced there was an actual chef back there. Service? Terrible. No refills, no check-ins, and even the soda tasted off. The menu said Coca-Cola, but what we got was some flat, sugary off-brand that tasted like a childhood birthday party gone wrong. Between the cold food, chaotic service, untrained staff, and the mandatory 20% gratuity, this was a full disappointment. And I still don't know why "wild boar" is on an Indian menu read more

First time visiting this new spot in RTC. We went there on Saturday night for dinner; the momos were excellent! Everything else was average. The ambiance is pretty good and I can see their lunch specials being appealing to the office crowd however, I don't believe I will be back for anything except their momos. read more

The service at this restaurant was great, but the food didn't live up to the price tag. As a huge fan of Indian cuisine, I was especially disappointed by the goat curry. It is not easy to find a genuinely good goat curry, so I was really hoping this place would deliver--but it did not. The meat was so chewy it felt like bubble gum, which means it wasn't simmered on low heat long enough. When a restaurant charges premium prices, the culinary quality needs to match that price tag. Unfortunately, this fell short. I will definitely try this place again but maybe not the goat curry. read more

Loved the food, ambiance, service, and overall experience here! This restaurant replaces the old Panera that was a staple in RTC. I'm so glad Masti turned out to be a great replacement. The servers were all really nice and attentive, and even though they accidentally brought out one item we didn't order, they let us keep it and did not give us a hard time. All of the food was cooked really well and I loved the flavors of the Aloo Gobi Mutter, biriyani, and the kale chaat. I will definitely come back here soon! read more

Popped in for lunch with a friend last week while shopping in the area. They have amazing lunch combos and the fact that it wasn't crowded was crazy! The space is beautiful and the service top notch! I ordered the lamb vindaloo which came with the basmati rice and a great salad-amazing dressing! We also ordered dal and garlic naan. My friend ordered the chicken tikka masala, I believe. We both loved our food and the leftovers were equally delicious. It's definitely worth trying! read more

Service was great. Food was amazing. Great momos as well as really good butter chicken. The tandoori chicken is the best I've had in northern Virginia so far. It looked more formal than I actually was. They were very accommodating for us and our two children although I would say it looks like a restaurant better off to leave the kids at home. read more

So glad I tried this place! I think it's in the old Panera and the interior is kinda strange and giving more French brasserie vibes than an Indian place. Also the lights are soooo bright! Being that it is a new restaurant the service had some glitches and they were very slow at times. However the food was excellent! The chicken momo were delicious and so light! The butter chicken was smoky and the chicken meat was tender and rich with flavor. I loved the palak paneer and this dish was not the mashed up spinach but was fresh. Just needed more salt. Didn't love the yellow dal or the naan. Both were on the plainer side. I will come back in a few months for sure. read more

Good food nice drink and awesome hospitality. I will be here again and again. Atmosphere also the great and good location.

Very hospitable. The servers were very considerate about young children and ensured that the group was aware about spice levels. For the price, the servings were huge. To be fair, it was four people (one child) and nine dishes! But it has fully lasted for the next two days. The food was phenomenal. Absolutely no complaints. Very authentic. The ambiance was perfect, it matches the RTC vibe. Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 10/10... Overall 10/10!!' read more

Friendly service from manager to server. Dining area is nice but the tables are too close to one another so you can hear other table conversations. Food was amazing, lamb and goat curry was delight spiciness is at minimum but you can always order to make it in a higher chili count. Samosas was good too. Chicken Korma with the garlic naan- don't forget to order the naan. Flavored drinks from the bar compliments the spiciness of the food. read more

Came here on a weekday with friends for dinner. Weather was nice so sat outside. Service was very prompt. Wine & cocktails and an order of the cheese naan, samosas and chili Momos - all very good.

The inside of the restaurant looks very clean, bright, and welcoming. They did a nice job renovating the inside. The staff were very friendly, informative, and attentive all throughout the meal. When the food came (we ordered several dishes), each dish had a different spice level, so be sure to ask how spicy a dish might be before you order. Each dish was full of flavor and very delicious. They also do a great job with their wine selection, which is key for us when eating out. Masti is a wonderful addition to Town Center and we will be back. read more

Fantastic food with outstanding service. It's a beautiful restaurant with an amazing home feel. The customer service and wait staff is one of the best. Masti is one of the most attentive restaurant I've been to. I don't think my water dropped below a quarter of the glass because they were so on it! The curry and naan were fantastic and on point.
