The hype is real, insanely good pizza. Pricey, yes, but worth it once in a while for a different pizza.

Solid pizza interesting and eclectic menu. Nice and friendly service. Will be back for sure read more

Mazala Pizza Lincoln Park - Halal Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We ordered a Paneer Tikka Masala pizza (thick crust) and 2 Pav Bhaji pizzas (thick and thin crust). Overall, the pizzas had adequate authentic Indian flavors and the thick crust pizzas were very filling. Between the two, we preferred the Pav Bhaji Pizza as it was more flavorful, and would get it again. The prices for the pizza are on the higher side (~22$/pizza), but it could be easily split between two people. For the next time, my coworkers recommended the Chicken Tikka Masala and being a Vegetarian, I would try their momos. Overall, this is a place with a great twist to Indian food/pizza and would get it again! read more

I had a worse experience at this restaurant. They presented me with a different order and when I asked for refund the server mentioned that the manager is at another location she will come in and refund the amount. I call them next day and a guy picks it up and again I have to explain him the whole situation and he says that he has initiated the refund. Three days after I again call and talk to the manager explaining him all over again and he says we cannot give you the refund. PAID $45 FOR NOTHING. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND read more

Love everything about Moti- the pizza, the service, the ice cream. It's everything a family could want! Definitely recommend to a friend, and we'll be back! read more

Moti is the best! I live nearby and love to get the Chicken Tikka pizza on the thin crust. Anytime I have friends in town I make sure that we order Moti in at some point. You can't walk by without getting a whiff of the delicious food! The staff is always helpful and friendly. Dhruv always has a smile on his face and has created a very welcoming vibe. Would highly recommend Moti! read more

Pleasantly surprised by this tiny spot! We had half/half pizza (tikka and samosa) and the masala fries. Believe them when they say the fries are a MUST try. The pizza had a lot of flavor! Friendly staff. Casual dining. We can't wait to come back and try their momos and tacos. read more

Came here looking for good Indian street food, they don't have the most diverse menu for that. Momo's and pizza with Indian toppings are primarily what you get here. The sauces and overall quality was a bit too greasy for me, doesn't seem too fresh and left feeling sluggish. We had a Momo dish and pizza with friends, taste was satisfactory at best. Service is lackluster , not very attentive. read more

Great food!! Even though some items of my delivery were missing, I still give them 5 stars. The flavor combos were amazing. We loved the smash pizza and burrito, and can't wait to order or go to the restaurant. read more

I stopped in here randomly on my way to Chipotle and I am so glad I did. The smells from outside were already making my mouth water and the menu did not disappoint. The super nice guy behind the counter recommended the Butta Masala and Tikka Tacos and they were both delicious. Just the right mix of spicy, sweet and crunchy. I even got something to go for dinner later and he threw in a free app I have always wanted to try. Thanks to everyone in the kitchen too for helping me find my new favorite place. read more

Just saying love their pizza!! Had the palak paneer and moti elote and both were great. Will definitely be back!!

This place is amazing. I was walking down Halsted and a guy handed me what's called a golden ticket for 2 free tacos or 1 bowl. This being Chicago I assumed there was a catch. But I took it and went anyway. And well no catch it truly was free not even charged a penny. I ordered the yummy bowl I can choose chicken so I chose that. They worked fairly fast and even local PD come here for lunch. It was good better than I expected. They even brought me a free bottle of water. WHich I see why spicy indeed but amazingly spicy read more

When I first walked in, I was immediately attracted to the environment. They played vibey bollywood music and the LED signs all over just completed the chill and relaxation spot. After I was already impressed, I got the paneer tikka pizza that added to my initial excitement. The pizza was complete with indian spices and flavors mixed with a unique chipotle sauce that really made it a modern indian dish. Absolutely delicious. On the way out, I also tried the pistachio paleto which was so creamy and had crunchy pistachio toppings on the outside. It was unspeakably good. Overall, this place is an amazing place to come to get a delicious meal and reset. read more

There are a lot of restaurants on Lincoln Avenue that are good, but just aren't that interesting or different. Moti Masala Pizza is one of those rare places in this area that is not only unique, but delicious too. First, their food is great. While I have eaten Indian food, I've never seen fusion quite like this. I tried some of their Indian inspired pizzas and I loved them. I ordered the paneer pizza and the lamb tikka pizza. My favorite was the lamb tikka pizza. They also have some traditional style pizza. I ordered their sausage pizza. It was good, but I prefer the Indian inspired ones. I also tried some of their traditional Indian dishes. I enjoyed the chicken biryani, but I liked the fried chicken momos the better. The naan was also good. I'm not surprised that their traditional Indian food is good as I heard their chefs are from Nepal. Lastly, I tied both of their mango and rose lassi. I have had lassi from a few places, but ones here are the most flavorful lassi I've had. Second, the restaurant has a fun atmosphere. I liked the decor of exposed brick, green feature wall and cool music. If you are looking for a place with good food and something delicious and different this is the place for you. read more

This place is a diamond in the rough. You'll miss it if you aren't looking well enough, but MAN is the food amazing. We got the mozzarella sticks and Mac & cheese chicken pizza, literally soooo good. The cashier was super nice and the place was nice and clean. They also offered free water, which is always a plus in my opinion. Overall 10/10 will come back read more

I'm bummed to be writing this review but I'm hopeful that things might change for the better! My partner placed an online order and I stopped by to pick it up. There was some initial confusion about which name it might be under but once that was cleared up the cashier realized that they missed the order. They were very kind and apologetic about it, put the order in, and said it would take 15 minutes. In about that time, another staff from the back came out with an order, gave my partner's name (while the original order had been under mine) and another customer grabbed the order. My partner's name is pretty common so I figured it was just a coincidence. Several minutes later the staff realized they had given the other customer my order and I was told to hang out for another 15. I ended up spending about 45 minutes waiting around for my food. The cashier very kindly added some sodas to our bag as an apology. Although they were apologetic and likely understaffed, it just felt like both issues could have been avoided with better training and confirming orders before handing them out. The food (pizza and wings) itself was tasty but pricy. I think I could look past the price if the service situation had been better. Really hopeful the owners/managers take some additional care for more thorough training and support for staff. read more

Would recommend! It's a small place but tables are available. We ordered for take out. The man working there was welcoming and friendly. As this was our first time there, he took the time to explain the menu and gave his recommendations. We went with the lamb tikka pizza, side of masala fries, mango lassis and some homemade paletas (popsicles). Loved the pizza! The mango lassis were creamy and refreshing! Reminded me of my time in India. He told me they make those fresh as well. We walked away with a two different paleta flavors - strawberry and lime & mango and Chile. The strawberry and lime was delicious and balanced between the two flavors. I liked the mango and Chile however the ratio was heavier on the Chile and I'd prefer some more mango. Definitely will be back. (Ghareeb nawaz opened up on the block not too long ago and serves mango lassis as well. I recommend going to Moti Masala for the lassis.) read more

I'm MISERABLE I only found out about this place after moving up to Evanston. You should eat here EVERYDAY. Literally everything is exploding with bright, spicy flavor. If you loved (and miss) Hema's Kitchen, come here and don't be fooled by the delivery system. This is top level flavor with wonderful fresh ingredients. Try everything. Eat everything. Take the leftovers home and feast for a week. (And the people are really sweet, too-- even if you can't decide what to order.) read more

I ordered takeout from here as I noticed their unique menu options. After devouring a slice of their palak paneer and chicken tikka masala, I would have to say I was thoroughly impressed. The pizza base was soft naan bread. The sauce was delish, toppings, sauce and ingredients were fresh. Both slices were bursting with flavor and I'll be going back for more!! read more

I ordered delivery and was surprised that it came on time and was watching the driver on app. I was happy with the pizza as it was Indian in nature, new pizza flavors for me. Will definitely order again read more

In my opinion, this is overrated. It's not bad it's just nothing great. We got the elote pizza and tikka pizza with paneer. The pizza is super thin but I will say I did like their special green sauce! Also a bit expensive for what you get. read more

Ordered an 8 inch Chicken Tikka Pizza and Firecracker Momo. The crust was burnt and the sauce was below average. Was expecting to be more flavorful. The Momos were bland (could have added some spice to it). The momo sauce was unappetizingly sweet !!! Disappointed !! I hope this gets better. read more

Opened by me not to long ago, the spicy chili momos are a MUST!! The staff is friendly and always has great recommendations, they gave me an orange drink(Cant remember the name) but it was amazing, highly recommend! read more

Got the tacos and masala fries from here and loved it! Great spot for late night dining

Nice little place. So happy with the lunch special! I got a little cheese pizza and a Sprite for $6. It was like 1986! I came here on a recommendation. So many choices! read more

I had heard a lot of good things about Moti so we finally decided to order from here. My husband called to order the food and was immediately asked to hold. I totally get it that Friday evening is a busy time for most restaurants. My husband waited for 10 mins on the line and no-one ever got back to him. He hung up and proceeded to just go to the restaurant and order. Food was horrible to say the least. We had ordered paneer vindaloo, garlic naan and masala fries. Garlic naan was not freshly made and tasted stale (most Indian restaurants I have eaten at never get this one wrong). Vindaloo was so spicy ! My mouth was on fire ! My husband who is a big fan of spicy food (he happily gobbles on Lao Sze Chuan spicy chilli chicken) could not eat it. Masala fries were okay. Total waste of money. I have also tried their fusion pizzas at a friends place and I don't see the reason for all the hype. Pizzas were just okay. Their concept seems unique but I was not a fan of their execution. I don't think we will be ordering from here anymore. read more

Pizza was so good! loved the thin crust, the paneer tasted really good too. I got it with cilantro chutney instead of moti sauce and the cilantro lime sauce because both of those have eggs but the base and the pizza itself was really really good. read more

My fav was vada pav.. the perfect balance of that garlic chutney to vada transported me back home. We also tried the masala pizza and it was good as well. masala fries was our group fav as well. Service was quick, the ambience is very casual read more

Amazing food even better service! Highly recommend!!! Masala fries and mango lassi are a must!

I went here with my boyfriend, and we had the samosa chaat appetizer, korean bbq pizza, tikka masala classic with lamb and basmati rice, and a couple of their ice cream bars. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced, and the owner is very personable. Would highly recommend! read more

I've never eaten a pizza so fast in my life. The 10 minute ride home seemed like a life time because all I wanted to do was dig in. Ordered the 'chicken tiki masala' pizza and when paired with that green garlic sauce, my lord see ya later. Druv (may be misspelled) was the coolest dude and threw in some free ice cream on the way out. MUST TRY *Yes, they have other dishes and an abundance of vegetarian options* read more

Their other two restaurants is called Himalayan which is in Niles and on Wabash St. I haven't been to any of them yet. This is their third location.

Delicious, creative food! I have ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala pizza a few times now and it's excellent every time! This time I also ordered the chicken biryani entre, which has the perfect amount of spice and flavor! The Tikka Masala curry is also excellent! I definitely recommend trying this place! read more

Chicken Tikka was just ok. Not very thick or creamy, chicken came in big chunks. Pizza is very unique and tasty, but make sure you get a larger size. read more

Tried this place a couple months ago ... we LOVED this place! Casual place, phenomenal service. Fantastic flavors!
