Naan N Masala - Indian Near Me - Milpitas, California

I've been going to Naan n Masala for 10+ years and the food is consistently good! Staff is super friendly whether I eat in or do take out. I always order the butter chicken, palak paneer, malai kofta, and goat biryani. Their chicken 65, goat curry, lamb curry, and samosas are also absolutely delicious. read more

0 stars Food was beyond awful and we ended paying about $50 and left hungry rather than eat any more beyond sample bites. We should not have trusted the 800+ reviews. We ordered: 1. lentils Watery, as if they ultra thinned out with just plain water No flavor The lentils were not the right color 2. Chicken with chickpeas The only decent plate at 2/5 stars Chicken was cooked well There was no flavor 3.Chicken The texture of this chicken was like sponge. It tasted not Indian but like re-microwaved leftover bad Chinese fast food We could not touch this beyond a bite. 4. Rice OK 5. Naan The quality is like bulk ones you get from costco 6. Mango Lassi Taste odd Very watered down. As if it had not been mixed. Never going back. Other: the restroom was completely out of soap. read more

Naan N Masala - All horrible and bad. No flavor, over watered, chicken was sponge like texture. Awful. - Indian Near Me - Milpitas, California

Naan N Masala wasn't easy to find initially as the street isn't continuous. Disconnected for a block. It's in a run down shopping center with a few tenants. Was greeted soon upon entering. Ordered tikka masala instead of Chicken-65 at cashiers suggestion. Was told none of entrees are "hot". Offerings: appetizers, vegetarian, non-veg., desserts, breads, rice, desserts.. Eats: chicken tikka masala (12.99) -chicken pieces semi-flavorless, flavor obviously went into masala sauce. -tikka masala had bold flavors in a moderately spicy cream sauce. -slight spiciness not from chilis, from other herbs & spices. -traveled well.. Plain parantha (2.99) -fried wheat flour layered bread fluffy & warm after 30 minutes travel. -healthier than naan's white flour... Drink: chai comped -nice full bodied flavor, self serviced. Take outs: -large dining area with flatscreen showing Bollywood movies. -lots of parking in runned down parking lot. read more

Uniqueness: No crowds literally and yet the food here is authentic as it could be. Wait Time: [x][x][x][x][x] Food Quality: [x][x][x][ ][ ] Service: [x][x][x][x][ ] Setting: [x][x][x][x][ ] Cost: [x][x][x][ ][ ] Recommendation? Definitely get the puri or garlic naan for starters, Biryani as your main side and have butter chicken if you want to feel safe or get the goat curry if you're feeling spicy adventurous. Naan n Masala deserves more attention than what it's currently been seeing since the pandemic passed. The place is literally a hole in the wall place that serves excellent Indian food at a somewhat decent price for huge portions. You have your typical butter chicken and chicken tikka masala to your palak paneer and puri appetizers, you'll find plenty of various Indian dishes to choose from with service that is on average pretty quick. The fact that all the times I've been here seeing no line means you won't have to wait at all and if you want, you could get some food to go as well. I hope this place will last long in it's current state and whenever I'm craving great Indian food, I'll definitely come back for more. read more

The butter chicken here was well seasoned, with lots of good sized chunks of chicken, a bit spicy for me but too delicious to stop eating. The plain naan was nice and toasty, and went so well with the curry, the entire meal perfectly filling. I ordered in advance online this past Saturday, and though I was quoted half an hour wait time, it was ready in about 10 minutes (it's good I arrived early, so my food wouldn't get cold). The place was bright and clean with lots of indoor seating, and the staff was friendly at the counter when I picked up. Also, plenty of parking in the quiet little plaza where the restaurant is located, to add to the convenience. read more

We dined here as a party of four on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was nearly empty when we went, so seating was not an issue. The restaurant is self service for plates, utensils, water, and tea. We didn't realize and so we were confused for a bit at the beginning. We decided to order a few dishes so that we could get a variety of flavors. The Palak Paneer was pretty good. I thought that the dish could use more cheese, but the spinach paste was not bad. It was missing the fatty flavor and texture you get with more cheese. The Keema Matar and Paneer Tikka Masala felt really watered down. One of my Indian friends familiar with the dishes also pointed out that the Keema Matar was more sour than what she expected. The Lamb Samosas and Garlic Naan were really well done. There was a good about of crunch in each bite. The Chicken Biryani was also decent. read more

This has been a hole in the wall place in the most ghetto strip mall in milpitas. The food is good. Takes a bit of time. I usually order togo and come pick it up. Usually I get the chicken curry or goat curry. Always surprise on how empty this mall is. There is no homeless camping out here as well. Just a empty strip mall with this Indian place and a Persian liquor store... the look of this strip mall resembles that from breaking bad... d read more

Went to naan n masala last week after seeing this place pop up numerous times, and honestly so glad we did! We picked up food from this place for dinner and it was very cold inside so we decided to eat back at home. We ended up ordering: *butter chicken - this was delicious and the sauce was so creamy and flavorful , I wish it came with more chicken but the food tasted good * reshmi chicken kabob - this kabob was very flavorful and yummy, it was made of ground chicken with lots of spices *plain/garlic naan - delicious and flavorful and went well with the butter chicken *aloo paratha - this was not as good/flavorful as we wanted and couldn't really taste the filling, would probably skip next time Overall, food was yummy though and at a pretty good price point! read more

Naan N Masala - Indian Near Me - Milpitas, California

Absolutely the worst Indian food i have ever had !!! I wasn't even sure what the meat was , it was supposed to be chicken, but it was not like anything Ive had before, to be honest it could have been any thing read more

Authentic North Indian food. The place is self-serve and informal. They do carry a couple different beers, both Indian and global brands. read more

Although this is a hole in a wall place, it's one of my go to place when craving Indian cuisine. No fancy frills but straight up Indian comfort food. These are my favorite ones to order. Butter chicken is so good and to my taste bud. (Over the years I have cut down on my sodium intake) . Biryanis. Although the mild version still spicy to my taste bud, still tasty . The only thing I can comment on is to lessen the saltiness. My other favorites are the Channa Masala and Palak Panner. The vegetable are always tender. Last but not the least , how can I forget the Naan Bread . A meal is not complete without these warm fluffy bread and to soak up the delicious sauces. Yes there are other Indian restaurants in Milpitas, however if you are looking for delicious Indian comfort food without breaking the bank try Naan Masala . read more

Came for lunch break and food was excellent. I had the Palak Paneer, Bhindi Masala, Garlic Naan, Basmati Rice, and mango pickle. Very hot and fresh. My boyfriend had butter chicken with basmati and that was also very very good. Will come back! read more

We ordered our food Togo. The employee over the phone seemed a bit confused taking our order. He said 20-25 mins the food should be ready. We had to pick up food for a friend as well, which ordered 15 mins earlier than me. I got to the restaurant 35 mins later and both orders were still not ready. The employee could not find the orders and was so confused with their own system that I ended up having to help him find our orders. He kept asking for the order names even after we found the orders. It was quite frustrating. We ended up waiting for another 35-40 mins. Aside from the frustrating pick up, the food made up for it. We ordered: - butter chicken - so good! - chicken tikka masala - good, but the butter chicken was much better - palak paneer - delicious - samosa - good - garlic naan (hard to tell if I like it since it took so long to enjoy it. It was soft and no crust to it by the time we ate. Definitely will order again. Hopefully they learn their systems better so we don't run into the same issue. read more

Naan N Masala probably has the tastiest and most affordable Indian food I've ever tried. During the pandemic, there is only take out order. The staff will take your order right at the front door and call your name when your food is ready. There are plenty of parking as it is located in a hidden, but quite large plaza. I usually order butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, plain naan and garlic naan. The last time I went there, the bill came out about $30 which was not bad at all. It fed me and boyfriend to the fullest level, and we still had leftover. The containers might look small, but it was packed to the max level. Both butter chicken and chicken tikka masala were spicy (just at the right level), flavorful, rich but not too heavy, and they came with a good amount of chicken. Personally, I didn't eat much of the chicken as I loved the sauce way too much and that was all I wanted to eat. Both kinds of naan were fluffy, nicely baked and garlic naan has a nice garlic aroma. Everything just paired well together. Obviously, I have no complaint for this place and will keep coming back. read more

I came back and ordered a paneer tikka masala, malai kofta, and three orders of plain naan since I was sharing food with two other people. Both the dishes were rich, thick, and oily, and a little bit spicy (if you're someone like me who can only handle a mild level of spice, make sure to ask for it to be mild or low spiciness). The food was pretty good, though, and ready on time for pickup. read more

Post an awesome workout and a group of friends looking for a good bite, the intentions guided us to Naan and Masala. Even before arriving there we had already placed our order on the phone and they were kind enough to ack the order and keep it hot and ready to be served. Upon arriving the table was all set and we had Kadai Chicken, chicken curry and daal fry along with onion kulcha , garlic naans and a butter naan and ordered more naans down the line along with goat curry as well. Delicious food and amazingly hospitable crew on the ground made our experience fantastic and beyond amazing. I ended up ordering a couple of naans along with butter chicken ( which I didn't like as much - didn't taste great ) and palak paneer. All in all a great experience and would definitely come back for more, though not for their butter chicken :) read more

Doordashed the butter chicken with basmati rice. It's just as good as I remember ! Tasty flavorful curry with tender chicken.

Definitely a language barrier when you call to place a phone order, but that's not an issue. I heard from a few folks the food is pretty good BUT I beg to differ cause not only did they not give me the chutney for my simosas, I also ordered 2 order of Raita & they did not give me & I was charged. Scimpy on the rice when I ordered 4 servings. Butter Chicken WAYYY too oily & greedy on the chicken. Everything we did order had there own flavors of yumminess but, I will not be ordering from this place again. The best thing we all decided on was The Garlic Naan, disappointing because when your craving a certain food & your excited to eat it when it arrives then (BOOO) you think not only did you waste over $100, you were trynna support a family owned business, the food was not to your standards. But, that's why we're yelpers right? read more

I loved this place and we came eating in or take out many times but I don't know what happened recently their food is just not made fresh on a daily. Let me explain, I went in on a Friday early dinner and ordered a chicken tikka masala ,lamb biriyani and 2 naan. I started with tikka, best taste and ordered some extra onions with my biriyani. While I was waiting for the onions I started on my tikka. Half way through I started smelling some foul odor like when you leave food out and it smells. I took two bites of my biriyani and tasted ok but the smell was there, I continued on my tikka and onions came (pickled) . Foul odor continued and I asked the front desk uncle to smell it. Immediately he said I'll give you chicken biriyani for sure is fresh. He exchanged it at no charge but I was disappointed this happened. Also just because they didn't have fresh onions only picked also left me wondering . All curries should have fresh onions but certainly I'll skip this place next time. read more

This is one of those hidden gems in Milpitas that serves one of the best homemade Indian cuisine. This place is literally situated in the far back corner of the Fiesta Shopping Center, which is another hole in a wall shopping center. If you are capable of finding this place, congratulations, you have found the diamond in the rough. Currently open for take out during Covid. Naan N Masala has been a restaurant I've been secretly going to because of pure selfish reasons. The lines can sometimes get ridiculous, even during Covid. It's that touch of home that makes this restaurant special. Every time I visit this restaurant, I feel like I'm just visiting my uncle and getting food at the same time. I love their Aloo Gobi and their butter chicken. Their garlic naan feels right at home. I can never get enough. Their Biryani is insanely good especially their lamb biryani. For those who aren't used to spice and season, stop reading. This isn't the place for you. This is a place where the owners have decided to keep thing real and authentic, just like home. Join the family and visit this place. read more

I've been a frequent at this place for years but recently, their food quality and service have been less than par. I usually get the paneer masala and my friends get the butter chicken but this time around, they forgot to put any chicken in butter chicken. We pretty much got sauce. I'm not too sure we'll be coming here more often if this continues read more

I came here about 6 years ago for dine-in and had a bad experience which caused me to not come back. Today, I decided to give it another chance since I thought it's been long enough since the first incident. Here's my take away from today's experience -I'd suggest to come at an odd hour so you don't wait. I see that other reviews are complaining about how long things take but when I showed up on a random Thursday at 2 pm, the restaurant was completely empty and I got my to-go food within 3 minutes. -I only ordered butter chicken and found it to be very tasty. It had a thick sauce, not watered down, tasted like butter chicken should, and it had plenty of chicken pieces. -Their prices seem on the lower end which is nice in this expensive Bay Area world we are currently living in. The amount of butter chicken was substantial and only cost me $10.93 which is very reasonable in my opinion. read more

I've been coming here for years. This place NEVER disappoints. Service is excellent. Cha is wonderful. Love that they have Thums Up soda. Give this place a try, you won't regret it. I'm basic and get butter chicken and garlic naan w samosa. Chole on the samosa is SO GOOD. Thank you!!! read more

An iconic staple for Indian food cravings when in South Bay. It is the kind of place that has a loyal following and rightfully so! The food is excellent - the ambiance is reminiscent of the dhabas you find on the roadside while driving in northern India towards Delhi. The food is delicious: palak paneer is great, butter chicken is saucy uttterly butterly yum, scoop it up with some fluffy garlic naan or temper it with basmati rice. The typical Punjabi dishes are incredible - saarson ka saag and makki di roti, baingan bharta, aloo paratha are off the hook. The service is fast and somewhat bare bones, but they have a rare honor system in place and it is commendable. They have yummy chai which is delightful. read more

This was so good I give it 5 stars because of its ambience and taste and the services is very fast :)

The boyfriend and I were craving Indian so we decided to look up options close to the Great Mall. Found this hole in the wall with 1500 reviews and decided to check it out. Rating Breakdown: 1/2 Stars for Taste -- Solidly average. We ordered the butter chicken and baingan bharta (eggplant) with rice and garlic naan. The butter chicken came with generous helpings of tandoori chicken inside -- not tough but not overly tender either. The baingan bharta was not bad, but also not the best I've had. I agree with the other ratings, Naan n Masala doesn't mess around with the spice levels -- these curries definitely came with a kick! The garlic naan was had good garlic flavor but also didn't wow us. The complimentary chai was aiite but free is our favorite flavor. 0.5/1 Stars for Value -- At $8-11 a dish, the portion sizes were generous. But then you add the cost of naan or rice ($2-3) and you can end up paying almost buffet prices for one meat dish and a single serving of carbs. The free chai does sweeten the deal though. 0/1 Stars for Customer Service I want to like this place, I really do, I'm all about supporting the hole in the walls, especially a Milpitas institution such as this one. I hope it was an off day, but we ended up waiting 45 minutes for our food. There was no apology or recognition from the server/owner and we saw several other tables and takeout customers sitting around waiting for approximately the same amount of time. Their cash register was broken so they let us order first and pay later (which is nice!), but don't really see how that would impact service time. No bonus star because even though we're down a favorite Indian place since the closing of Favorite Indian Restaurant, we are still looking. (Suggestions appreciated!) read more

We love Naan N Masala! My boyfriend and I come here every week and can't get enough of the delicious, authentic food. Great service, chai tea on tap and great prices. No frills, but we prefer it that way. Our favorites are the Paneer Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan & Garlic Chicken. read more

This place used to be really good in the pre-pandamic times. Used to visit this place for authentic north Indian taste. However, our recent take out order was really disappointing. Firstly, doordash and grubhub have different prices for the same item. Ordered paneer tikka masala, it was completely tasteless and infact had light orangish gravy. Paneer tasted stale as well. Also ordered tandoori rotis with special instructions to make it crispy. Forget the extra crispiness requested, rotis were not even cooked properly. Definitely not visiting them anytime soon. read more

I used to frequent this hole-in-the-wall Indian spot in Milpitas often when I lived in the South Bay a decade ago, and now that I've moved back, I had to try some of my old spots and I'm glad to report this place still holds up! Butter Chicken: Rich and flavorful. Pairs really well with garlic naan for dipping. 8/10 Chicken 65: Another reviewer said this is like an Indian take on buffalo chicken, and that's super accurate! Good kick and very buffalo flavor profile forward. 8/10 Chicken Briyani: Big chunks of chicken and is pairs well with Palak Paneer. Not outstanding but gets the job done. 7/10 Palak Paneer: Lots of small cheese cubes that weren't overcooked or gummy. The spinach sauce is the right thickness and had lots of flavor. 8/10 Very good for your authentic Indian cravings. read more

If you want affordable but still tasty eats come here. This is a favorite spot we go to in the Milpitas area. I think all the items are under $10 bucks, average $8-9 a dish. The restaurant is sorta haflsies self service style. You seat yourself, go to the cashier and place your order and when you're done pay at the register. There's also an open fridge where you serve yourself your own pitcher of water or drinks and sodas you want. They also have chai tea on tap that you can help yourself to. I kinda like that convenience of not having to ask and wait to be served and having what I want right away. The food is good also. I ordered the tandoori chicken and I got two large pieces of chicken. Super spicy for my taste but that was expected. My darling always orders the butter chicken and garlic naan which never disappoints also. read more

Naan N Masala - Garlic naan, chicken butter, rice - Indian Near Me - Milpitas, California

We were craving butter chicken and biryani in Milpitas and found this place which serves both! It's in a dingy area of Milpitas and the restaurant itself looks dingy with flickering lights and old decor. I thought the food ought to be outstanding because sometimes the dingiest places have the best food! Biryani was dry (chicken boneless biryani) and the butter chicken was okay. The naan was super dry too. I think the kicker was that the owner forgot about me being there..... he had told me it'd be 5 minutes and I waited in my car for 30. I gave them the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe they're backed up but no. He confessed that he forgot I was there and the only reason he remembered was because he was leaving out to his car. I understand everyone is hurting right now so please give them the benefit of the doubt. This place might be great in other respects but I personally had a very poor experience. Food was fine for the price so that's why I give this 2 stars. read more

Naan N Masala - Looks like a kind of dingy place, hoping food is good. Been waiting for 30+ minutes since placing the order, for 2 dishes to go. - Indian Near Me - Milpitas, California

WHY WE WENT HERE: - welcome back/birthday dinner for a friend - decided to change it up and do Indian vs. what we typically get (Thai, Vietnamese, etc.) THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - we were both surprised it's in a much older plaza off of Calaveras THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - pretty decently sized restaurant, but very cafeteria/self-serve style (self-seat, self-serve the drinks, but order at the register and the food will be served to you at your table when it's ready) - older - the bathroom was a little sketchy; appeared clean but there was a huge machine in there that somewhat obstructed the hand air dryer access THE MENU: - appetizers - vegetarian - non-vegetarian - bread - rice - side dish - dessert - drinks WHAT WE ORDERED - samosa (2 pieces) - butter chicken - seekh kabab - garlic naan - onion naan - 2 orders of plain rice THE TASTE: - the samosas were big, hot, and crunchy; I liked the presentation of the sauce poured over, but would have preferred it to the side since it did have a bit of heat to it - the butter chicken was really good, just a lot more sauce vs. chicken - the seekh kabab was not what we would have expected it to be (expectation: like Afghan or Persian kababs; reality: like an overdone falafel) - the garlic naan was definitely a favorite - I enjoyed the onion naan - if sharing food, ONE order of plain rice will feed you both (we ordered two orders of plain rice thinking the rice served would be a cup like you see at other Asian restaurants, but it was surprisingly served on a serving platter like an entree) CUSTOMER SERVICE: - the cashier/server was very warm and welcoming; sometimes have a bit of wait time to pay if he's in the back gathering food for other customers since he's the only one that appeared to be the cashier/server read more

I want to mention that there are many factors to how your time will be at any establishment, depending on what day & time with different individuals working (servers, kitchen, management, etc.) Regardless of my experience, your experience may differ. Which is why I encourage everyone to try any place you're interested in to see for yourself :) Always a great experience! Cleanliness 5/5 Staff 5/5 Food (that I've ordered) 5/5 Kitchen Wait Time 5/5 I would consider myself a regular here & there is almost never a wait. I've noticed a lot more take out orders compared to customers dining in. Everything is self served, once I've ordered food with the cashier I'll select a table and grab utensils, napkins, water etc. **FOOD** SO GOOD & SO AFFORDABLE. I've tried multiple items on their menu after visiting so many times, although I'll just list my favorites :) (5/5) Samosa (vegetarian) - Really good and a big portion for $2.99! I definitely recommend adding their green & red sauce on top! (5/5) for the following dishes: Chicken, Goat & Lamb Curry, Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, Chicken 65 (Spicy!) (5/5) Biryani Rice - I never come here without ordering one of the these dishes! It's all pretty much the same other than the selected meat. (5/5) Green & Red Sauce - There are no words to describe how good these 2 sauces are. I recommend putting it on everything! Also, be sure to get an Old Monk Beer! Super good & pairs so well with all of their food! **STAFF** Staff is always super friendly! Eager to answer any questions I have on the menu & go in detail when describing a dish. **KITCHEN** Food always comes out super quick! read more
