LOVED the dumplings but everything else was eh. Service is good, the staff immediately greeted us and let us sit wherever we wanted, and the restaurant was about half full. We ordered the sizzling chicken momos - I wish I ordered more of these because these were delicious and the sauce on it was so good. I ordered the chicken manchurian but it was nothing like I was expecting... chicken manchurian usually has some stir fried veggies with it. This felt more like a teriyaki chicken because the sauce was dark and the soy flavor was overwhelming so I couldn't taste much else. My husband got the beef noodles, which were alright. Good flavor in the sauce coating the noodles and the beef was ok but nothing special. Parking is available in the small lot. Overall, I'd come back just to order a bunch of dumplings but nothing else.
Went here to celebrate a friend's birthday based on another friend's recommendation. Far from impressed by this establishment & feel they can do a lot better. Since we were having a larger party, I went here the night before to see if I could secure a spot for us @ an optimal time (6pm) & the lady who I spoke with assured me that it was ok and to just check in later that day as the time got closer, which is what I did. I got there like 30 mins earlier prior and was able to get the anticipated area for 16 people.as people filtered in, they sat down and looked @ the menu. We placed our orders & other than people forgetting what they ordered, there was perha[s only 1 mix up with the food, which happened to be mine. When I finally got my order, it wasn't as good as I thought it woukd be and for the price, it was small. Just like the same as other people in our party. Some p[eople mentioned that the food did not taste good and it was not even worth taking home. I usually tend to like dishes that I order @ Asian restaurants but this was an exception. The restaurant is a fusion of CHinese & Indian w/ the sauces, not so much w/ the food tho. The space itself is roomy & the servers there, although not very helpful (IMO) they were very nice & accomodating. I, as well as others in my party, weren't particularly fond of the food so we do not plan on returning. I would not give a recommendation to patronize this establishment.
Very, very, good flavorful food, attentive service, and chill atmosphere. Lovely music as well. We started with vegetable samosas , that were big and tasty- great dipping sauce too! The best Ive had to date! I got a fusion chicken masala, and my son, a goat one. My only negative was the portion sizes. I felt for the prices, that they should've been larger. $61 for lunch didn't sit well with me. Great experience, but too rich for my blood.
This place is BURSTING with flavor! Haven't had anything like it! I need to go back for the chicken lollipops!
The owners are some of the nicest people I've ever met. It is a very nice place as well. The gravy chicken lollipop are absolutely delicious and they are so addicting. The flavors in the sauce that's smothered on the chicken is to die for. Highly recommend!
Quite unlike anything you'll find anywhere in Jersey, Mount Masala is a must try for foodie enthusiasts and anyone with a taste for "Asian" cuisine - in quotes to acknowledge the vast array of cultures and cuisines that are collectively called Asian, and Nepali food like this is the perfect example of why it can't be lumped in with everything else. Although you might be ordering something like Beef Curry, the flavor profile is completely different from one you'd get from India or Bangladesh. Coming in a classic tin pot, it's hearty and rich, perfect for sopping up with your rice. Where Mount Masala shines is the appetizers. The Jhol Momo and Sizzlling Momos are standouts. You can't say you've tried Nepali food if you havent had momos! The chicken lollipops are also fun to try (but I gotta be honest, they weren't nearly as flavorful or moist as the ones my mom used to make, so I was a bit biased against them). There is a small language barrier with the staff and cooking these items may take some time because they're made to order, but overall I found the restaurant a spacious and accommodating place that I'd be happy to relax in, appreciate the garden and Nepali decor inside, and listen to some Nepali tunes. Big props for serving Halal meat! Can't wait until my next visit!
This place was highly recommended by a friend's friend. To be honest, it might have been hyped up too much. Got the lychee lassi which I highly recommend. It was an amazing combo and worth getting. Then we got the Handsome Chicken Lollipop which was good. I really liked the batter they put on the chicken and the quality of the chicken they used. We then had some sizzling chicken momos. These momos were kind of a let down. They felt like dumplings you would find at the supermarket aisle. We wanted everything out spicy and i felt like none of the dishes we got were spicy. The Chicken Tikka Masala Fusion also tasted like a watered down chicken curry dish. The service here was pretty quick. The place could definitely use some interior designing however. It seemed pretty bare and plain inside. I did however like the plant wall they set up up front.
Restaurant look like every other Indian restaurant with spacious floorplan and plenty of seating. we received promptly by the waiter. Unfortunately, that's where our experience are diving. The waiter wasn't able to explain the menu well. He couldn't even provide us recommendations. We ordered chicken momo sizzling, Chicken tikka masala fusion, and lichee lassi. Our order was delivered within minutes. The food was mediocre. The chicken Momos sizzling looked amazing, but tasted basic. The chicken tikka masala fusion wasn't even close to how real chicken tikka masala tasted. Was a disappointing outing.
Food is always great so many great choices. I love the service and you definitely always feel welcomed. Always a great place to keep coming back too.
This place was AMAZING from start to finish. Must try dishes: sizzling momos, mount masala chow mein, himalayan ice cream with the lichee, fish mount masala and Himalayan chicken curry. We got the spice level of 2 and thought it was perfect. We eat spicy ... the hospitality was amazing as well. The family that runs this business are very sweet!
3.5 stars. I wanted to love it, the aroma was wonderful when you walk in. The servers were nice. There was a large party there so maybe that's why service was a bit slow? The flavors were good, portions pretty small given how much they charge though? The tap water tasted a bit funky so I had to order a soda. It was still a good to place to try. The menu is extensive so don't make the same mistake I did, but look at the recommendations from other reviewers first before ordering! I wish I tried the sizzling momo (total FOMO as it was clearly a popular dish there last night).
It was a cold dark evening and the winds were blowing in every direction. Even the car sensed the winds adding a chill despite the vehicles interior heating system. Little did we know that our dinner choice would situate us at a table reminiscent of a table set out on the slopes of the Himalayan snow covered peaks. Warmth was not our consideration on the evening we discovered Mount Masala but deliciousness of food and joy-filled service were to be our treat. Our navigator informed us that there would be several options for our winter dinner as we pulled into the plaza searching for a parking space. Being the adventurous sort we settled on the Mount, which seemed to be fairly busy. As we walked in we noticed everyone had their coats on ... the reason being that the cold winters winds easily penetrated into the restaurant but I am a boy from Buffalo my coat went off even as my dining partners remained bundled. But that's the lost star in the review because every other element was definitely top notch! Five star! Totally pleasing and a rewarding evening of good food served by people who cared. They could tell that we were novices in exploring the Himalayan cuisine so the entire cooking process, level of spicing, and even the pronunciations were explained to us. We started with the lollipops delved into the Chicken Manchau and Himalayan Crab Makai soup totally forgetting about the interior temperature because the meal was warming us up with awesome flavors! Our entrees were all delicious but what truly made it special was the staff continuing to stop by to check in on us and offering to change anything we might not like. Oh we liked! We liked a lot! Our only regret is that this place isn't located around the corner because we'd be climbing that mountain all the time!
This is my go to Indian spot! The food is always amazing! We also had my go too the goat masala!

A few months ago, I tried Himalayan food for the first time, which was a mistake. It was delicious. Once you discover something that good, you spend the rest of your life hunting for it. Human beings are funny that way. So for Father's Day, my wife booked a table for six at Mount Masala in Voorhees. This turned out to be an act of touching optimism. When we arrived on a Saturday night, only three other tables were occupied. We could have brought a small marching band and sat immediately. Still, the staff was warm, the room was pleasant, and we decided to order family style. Civilization occasionally gets things right. The sizzling chicken momo arrived first, hissing and steaming like a diva. Sadly, the spectacle outperformed the substance; it was essentially good food wearing a sequined jacket. The chicken tikka momo, however, was outstanding. They were tender dumplings smothered in a sweet, familiar tikka sauce that my boys attacked with an enthusiasm usually reserved for free money. My youngest ordered the chicken makai soup and delivered a concise, pro-level critique: "It's fine." My oldest enjoyed his tofu Manchurian, though his eyes kept wandering to better plates. The beef skinny noodles and chicken Hakku Bakku chowmein were massive and well-made, but they lacked personality. The chowmein tasted like a very good lo mein. Nothing wrong with that, just predictable. The undisputed star was the chicken choyla. It was smoky, spicy, and rich with mustard oil. If the other dishes were polite small talk, the choyla was the eccentric guest telling stories nobody had ever heard before. Everyone at the table kept reaching for it. As for the service, the staff was incredibly friendly but possessed a unique talent for vanishing. Despite the empty room, refilling water and securing extra napkins became a minor side-quest. But then the bill arrived: $120 for six people. These days, taking the family out can feel like financing a small yacht, so this felt like a genuine bargain. Mount Masala isn't perfect, but it's memorable. The choyla and the tikka momos gave me exactly what I've been hunting for: flavors that are unfamiliar, exciting, and well worth getting to know. read more
The food was delicious and flavorful. The server was helpful (given how unfamiliar my party was with Himalayan Cuisine). My 7 year old nephew loved his paneer tikka masala fusion. We all enjoyed the handsome chicken lollipops (fried chicken, no gravy) and chicken momo sizzling (delicious dumplings served with sizzling sauce). My Himalayan shrimp curry (with gravy on the side) was delicious, and my friends' veg ball korma makani fusion and tikka masala fusion were also delicious. My nephew and I shared kulfi, which was rich and sweet. I will definitely be back. read more

Wow! I keep trying to support the small businesses but this was a complete disappointment! First of all this garbage was not cheap! It's a little pricey! and you know it's bad when the best thing on the plate is the noodles. So let's go... I order 3 dishes to try the place out -lollipop wings - trash! I got a mouth full of raw dough first bite so that was an immediate turn off. So I tried a second one just to see if maybe it was just a mishap ,Nope same trash - mouth full of raw flour type dough. And they didn't taste fresh the chicken had a weird texture. Anyway moving on. Got a lunch special came with mango lassy. - lassy was good , chicken and noodle was decent but not worth the price ! And that salad was so wilted and just a spoonful I was not even willing to touch that for fear of getting sick. Moving on ....i order the vegetable -vegetable moon sizzling -just Yuck is all I can say about these. The sauce was owful and there was no vegetables in the darn thing just a pocket of dough with some cabbage scattered inside , the sauce was ketchup vinegar and peppers. Yuck. I truly don't know who has been writing these reviews but this is some of the worst stuff I've had in awhile. I wish I had gone to the Chinese place next door ! Do Better ! read more

I am perplexed - why is this place so highly rated? Upon arrival at noon on a Friday, we were the only customers. My experience began with receiving a water glass with a 2-inch red lipstick stain on the rim. Not a great first impression... The Makai soup appetizer which was included with the Lunch Specials consisted of a few kernels of canned corn in a glutenous, overly cornstarched bowl of one of *the worst* soups I have ever been served in a restaurant. (See pic below) The waitress described it as being "creamy" but there wasn't a hint of cream or dairy in it. Just cornstarch, water, sugar, salt, and probably some of the liquid from the can of corn, if I had to guess. The Paneer Mount Masala Lunch Special ($8.95) was a surprisingly stingy portion - 8 very small pieces of Paneer in an unappealing reddish and glutenous sauce, and two separate scoops of pickled vegetables and a slaw of sorts. The pickled vegetables were the best thing on the plate. The Fish Manchurian Lunch Special ($8.95) was also a very small portion - maybe 5 small pieces of fish (no more than 4-5 oz.) in another very glutenous sauce. The fish itself had an almost Inari-sushi-like texture, as if it had been lightly battered and fried yesterday, refrigerated overnight, and then tossed in a wok today. I didn't think this was very good at all. What I didn't realize was that the Fish Manchurian Lunch Special is served in their "wet" style by default. After seeing all of the interesting Yelp photos of the "dry" version of this dish, I had my mind set on getting it "dry" before I arrived. So I made a last ditch effort to save my lunch experience and asked the server if I could switch my "wet" Fish Manchurian for the "dry" version instead. She agreed, but alas, when it came to the table it really wasn't much better. The dish is just too salty and oddly textured (that Inari effect I mentioned). I would definitely not order this again. read more
If eating at Mount Marsala doesn't put your digestive track on overdrive, then you've got an iron stomach. Days after eating here, I am still feeling the effects of the spicy. Sitting close to the kitchen, besides the music and other patrons, there is this wonderful sound of the wok utensils hitting the wok during the process of stir frying. These folks know how to use a wok properly. The Masala Fish Finger, Momo Fry and Handsome Chicken Lollipops were all delicious. The fish especially was my favorite. While deep fried, the breading was crunchy and properly drained and spiced prior to serving. The fish flesh was well seasoned and flaky. My dinner companion and I were fighting over the last few pieces. The Momo Fry with ground chicken was awesome. The dumpling skin was a good thickness and served well to soak up all the spicy sauce. The ground chicken filling was perfect. This was delivered on a super hot fry plate that thickened the spicy sauce. Lastly the Handsome Chicken Lollipops were delicious BUT, some pieces were a tad bit over breaded. It came with what seemed like a mayo spicy sauce that was overpowering so careful how much dunking you do. The mix fried rice was a knockout punch to the gut. So much spice, perfect rice, nice serving to share. It is rare that each component of the fried rice can stand on its own. The peas, the diced carrots, onions, egg, beef, shrimp, cabbage, every component seared in a wok perfectly stands on its own. No overcooked or mushy veggies; carrots or peas! That's a sign of great wok expertise. Last of the notables, the chili fish entree is also delicious. The "American" Chop Suey was a major disappointment. Overly sweet, the noodles did not absorb the flavor of the sauce and thus seemed rather awkward. This was left behind almost completely. I'd steer clear of this dish in the future as I don't think this is for me. A Goldeneye Noodle dish was similarly disappointing in that the noodles were too al dente. They were not reconstituted fully prior to wok frying and as a result the noodles were a bit stiff. The Pina Colada drink served as a great palate softener to counter the spicy blast. Definitely did the trick! Finally the staff are really friendly and provided good recommendations. Mount Masala is a definite gem. read more

We absolutely LOVE coming to this restaurant and frequently drive a long distance to enjoy dinner here. The food is to die for and the customer service is exceptional. Our favorites include: chicken manchurian dry, goat mount masala noodles, roti, chicken momo, kulfi and Himalayan ice cream and the chai masala tea....all a must try. read more

If not for Yelp I would not have known Mount Masala even existed. My daughter and I were looking for somewhere new and inexpensive and up popped Mount Masala! The restaurant is in the former Tiffin, and is located on White Horse Road where there are now numerous dining options. The ambiance of the restaurant itself was very clean, pleasant and simple. We were a little worried when we found ourselves the only people dining in, but soon two or three other tables arrived and Mount Masala was also doing a decent take away business. We ordered two appetizers, a soup, a chicken dish and noodle dish. As other Yelpers have written, Mount Masala has both Indian and Chinese influences or Indo-Chinese. My daughter and myself like food with heat (not so much my wife) and the food here was not toned down for Americans. We asked for a 3 out 5 heat or spice level and that was about as much as we could handle. The nice Himalayan ice cream we ordered for dessert took care of the fire in our mouths. Service was extremely friendly and helpful, and our service people explained the numerous options on Mount Masala's menu and made suggestions and recommendations. We will definitely be back and Mount Masala is a great addition to the local and growing diversity of restaurants. read more

Excellent Himalayan restaurant in Voorhees. All made to order fresh. The waitress was very knowledgeable and would help you order and let you know which foods were spicy and which were not. I tried an assorted flavors and dishes, one was better than the other. The flavors were out of this world! The service was excellent and they made you feel welcome. They were very accommodating. If you want to try something new and different I would highly recommend Mount Masala. read more
