Masala Republic is a new Indian restaurant that is dangerously close to my Loft. It's on the backside of Washington Avenue so don't miss it. I ordered the buffet style takeout situation. My family was thrilled. I got one of the mixed grills, the shrimp biryani, vegetable samosas, some paneer, chicken masala, a little of everything. Everything was delicious. My father was very happy. Service was quick and easy. I ordered online. The restaurant is very nice inside so you should check that out too.

I highly recommend Himalayan Yeti for Indian food. I have tried both their lunch buffet and their…read moredinner service, and while their lunch buffet is yummy and I personally feel a good value for their price, the dinner is overall better. I think this is because it's made to order and is thus fresher. There are a large variety of options available at their lunch buffet, but I still feel that the dinner is a better value as food is fresher. I feel the restaurant is very clean and staff are unobtrusive but kind the ambience is that of a typical takeaway restaurant; shabby but clean. Himalayan Yeti is my favorite Indian food in St. Louis!

Indian food is just one of those food genres that works perfectly buffet style. It's rich, so i don't need a ton of one particular thing and the way that different dishes all complement one another is simply magical to my palate. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the buffet! On to the food. The food is absolutely perfect! The pakoras were decadent, tandoori chicken was succulent, and the chicken curry was perfectly spiced. Not a single negative about my first Yeti experience. Restaurant was clean and nicely decorated, wait staff was accommodating and welcoming. Couldn't ask for anything more, I was there Monday and I am ready to go back today, Friday! Yeti you have an official regular.

I also appreciate that they wrap the vindaloo tightly in plastic wrap so it doesn't spill in transit.

Generally I'm a pretty big fan of spicy foods, so i got the lamb vindaloo. the vindaloo was one of several curries which had a three chilli icon next to it, which seemed to indicate that this dish was spicy. the dish came out fairly quickly and came with rice, and my server was pretty friendly. i also got a paratha since i haven't had any indian bread in a while i felt like the vindaloo was fine. the biggest issue i had was that i really didn't think it was spicy at all, despite the fact that this is supposed to be one of the hotter dishes on the menu. probably adjusted for american palette. another issue i had was that i didn't feel like the vindaloo/curry had much depth to it; it tasted fine but wasn't really rich and was almost a little watery. the lamb itself was okay. the standout was probably the bread, though i kind of wish there was a little more overall i thought it was fine. i thought it was actually fairly pricey for what it was: $18 curry, 5 bread, 3 tax and 4 tip comes out to $30 for just an okay lunch, so... eh. maybe i would come back but it would probably depend on how much i felt like indian and if i was in the neighborhood already

We usually go as a family of 4 (all adults now; although we started to go when the kids were in high school). We love the Lamb Curry (both my sons' favorite), the Beriani, the Qabelli Palau, and Chicken Teekha Masala. The Sambosas are great starters. The chutney they serve with bbq the Naan is a family favorite. To steal a line from Frank's Red Hot Sauce "We put that sh*tuff on everything ". Finally, when we have room (and sometimes even when we don't), we get the rice pudding. The service is usually good, but not necessarily great. It's always personable and genuine; just sometimes a little slower than expected. Also the place (opened circa 2005) is showing its age a bit and needs a little TLC. It's very clean; it just needs a little refreshening in certain high traffic areas. The takeout/delivery business seemed good on the Sunday night we went there, but the in-store business was pretty quiet. However, it was one of those sub-20 degree nights, so I'm hoping that was the reason for the lack of in-person dining. Go there are experience some really great food and let's keep this gem of a locally owned restaurant in business. Based on food alone on out most recent experience, I'd rate it 5 stars; service and ambiance probably should drag it down a bit, but I'm still going with a 5-star review, because for the food and flavor it produces, it deserves a strong review and some positive energy to keep people trying this great food and supporting this local business.

I enjoyed my Spicy Chicken Soltani kebab platter that came with a spiced biryani rice with raisins and very good. I started with Pashtun salad that was small but fine for the $5 price. The naan bread on the side is different than the typical type of Indian naan but still tastes good. The service was pretty slow and I wasn't in a big rush but was getting ready to walk out after almost 15 minutes of waiting when a server came by. Good thing because 2 more minutes of waiting and I would've been out the door. The restaurant isn't the greatest inside but will do, nothing fancy.

Great food, service, and atmosphere!…read more This space is massive so bring in your family, friends, colleagues, and teams in for a great meal. The portions and prices are amazing. They have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options too. I would say the biggest meat protein on the menu is chicken. They have great music playing and some nights have live singers playing as you eat. They have a full cocktail and liquor menu so grab a drink on the patio and enjoy some gobi and naan to snack on. I loved their kid menu options and names so grab those picky little eaters. They offer a lunch buffet on the weekends too so come and fill those bellies with healthy and tasty food. It's not all spicy but you can certainly tell the cooks to crank up that heat flavor on your dishes. The staff was one of the best parts. They all were so friendly and gave their best recommendations and pairings. They moved as a team and everyone knew what we ordered and got it out fast. This location is very accessible and the bathroom set up is top tier. They have multiple seating options and a chair or two can be easily removed for wheelchair users. The silverware was strong but not too heavy which is great for those with less muscle control or littles learning to use utensils.
