Very torn between rating this business a 4* vs. 5* -- really want to give say a 4.5*. Let me explain. The good: It's delicious, it smells INCREDIBLE, and if you're staying in Manson, especially if staying at Wapato Point, it's a short walk for food pick-up -- doesn't get easier than that! Oh, and they're open every day of the week. (Next closest Indian food I believe is in Wenatchee, which if you're in Chelan, is far enough away, let alone being in Manson). Staff also friendly (albeit I've only done take-out). The bad: It's EXPENSIVE! Yes, Indian food *is* expensive, but it's the most expensive than Indian food I've purchased everywhere else (including some major cities including both Denver, CO, and NYC). All-told, I'll give them 5* as their prices are available online and you can make that informed decision for yourself, but again, don't be caught off-guard -- it's EXPENSIVE!!!! read more

Come here for the cold drinks, patio space, and friendly service! We ordered a couple dishes too, and while they were tasty, we thought it was a bit pricy for the portion size. read more

Twisted Cork & Taphouse - Chicken tikka masala and garlic naan - Salad Near Me - Manson, Washington

For Indian food near Chelan, this is a great find. We were grateful to discover the restaurant has a nice selection of beers, and the service was helpful with recommendations. We ordered the vegetarian dum aloo, which was decent, but prepared differently than we've had it before. We preferred the vegetarian mango curry, which was on the sweeter side but pretty good. My dad was a fan of the chicken tikka masala, and it was a bonus that all our entrees came with rice. The location is convenient with plenty of parking. While we enjoyed the food and service, I did find the prices to be quite high. read more

Twisted Cork is now on my chelan must-hit list. Nice location in Manson with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Was there on a summer weekday, patio was fully open with live music, mix of folks having a beer and apps, some for dinner & watching the baseball game. Now for the food, this is some of the best Indian food I've ever had. Rivals London Indian food, which is saying a lot. They have both an Indian menu and American menu, for those who want to have a mix of both or are less adventurous. Great for families to appease all appetites and tastes. Full bar, nice staff. Wish them success! read more

In October '24 this business changed hands. It's now run by Indian owners. We live 80% in Redmond where Indian food is amazing. We travel to major cities extensively for work and Indian food is our favorite cuisine. We have high standards and this restaurant surpassed our expectations. The veg samosas were fresh, crispy, and the filling was spicy and potatoes perfectly cooked. The butter chicken (3 stars) was tender and filled with spicy flavor. Not greasy. We had naan, which was light and fluffy. The rice that came with our entree had a light turmeric with fresh herbs. Delicious! The restaurant is well staffed (not easy in Manson), and staff was friendly and attentive. We sat on the covered patio outside, and they offered our dog fresh, cold water. This is our new favorite Indian restaurant in the U.S.! read more

Service was attentive, helpful and friendly. We started with Twisted Samosa Chana Chat, which I would describe as smothered Samosas with amazing sauce, and also had the Veggie Pecora. Both were so different from one another and so flavorful. Then, of course, we had the Chicken Tiki Masala, a-plus, and Naan. I thought the portions were the same or even a bit more than the Seattle area. The Naan was plentiful and delicious. I'd order all of this again and again. I was craving Indian food and wanted to wait to have it when returning to the West-side and I'm glad I did not. I feel like this is my favorite now. read more

We loved everything about this restaurant. Everyone was friendly and the food was AMAZING! We will be coming back for sure. read more

Twisted Cork & Taphouse - Hands down this was an amazing dinner! Loved every thing we ordered! Chicken tiki masala, lamb saag, garlic naan! I am in pure bliss. - Salad Near Me - Manson, Washington

In the last six months new owners have purchased the Twisted Cork & Taphouse. Their Indian food that's been added to their menu is absolutely incredible!!! It's too bad that Yelp can't clean up the negative reviews from the previous owners. I 100% recommend eating at the wonderful restaurant & trying a few of their Indian entrees. Highly recommend the: Chicken Tikka Masala, butter chicken, garlic naan & the appetizer that's veggies fried in chick pea flour! Their beer & cider list is excellent also! I can't wait to go back! read more

Great bar and food choices. They have Indian or standard American fare to choose from. We love Indian food and found this as one of the best in a long time. 17 beers on tap. The person waiting on as was patient and then very responsive. This would be a great place for a sports event. Building is new and clean. We came during afternoon and it was pleasant read more

Staying at Wapato Point in Manson, we rambled on in to Twisted Cork on a Tuesday night to find a relaxed, clean and professional taproom with great food, lovely service and a friendly vibe with good live music. The taproom is new and the owner was running the bar with his lovely wife and sister in law serving tables. It was Icicle Brewing Takeover night with 4 beers from Icicle in Leavenworth to try, and a raffle for Icicle merch. Nice! Musician Jeff McLaren was playing cover tunes. It was a great bonus. Service was prompt and friendly. We started with the shrimp cocktail as an app; large, tender and cooked perfectly with NO tails on (thank you)! Hubby had the special; a Mahi Mahi special with mango chutney with rice and a avocado mousse. I had the shrimp tacos with guacamole and sour cream. The owner was chatty and shared some great plans for wine and beer events in the coming months. We're excited that Twisted Cork has given us a reason to return to Manson and stay local to dine. read more

Stopped in at the Twisted Cork tonight for dinner. We ordered the Cheeseburgers, Reuben sandwich and then pub Mac and Cheese. The Reuben was good but needed more Russian dressing and more sauerkraut. But it was very tasty!!! One friend said her cheeseburger was fairly salty. The pub Mac and cheese was ok but had onions in it and she doesn't like onions. Service was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area Cidery and winery. I had the Two Town hard cider made with Cosmic Crisp apples and it was Tropical flavored with Passionfruit and hibiscus. It was the highlight of my evening. The space was lovely and open and very clean. They even have a great event space for large parties and events. Look forward to coming back. read more

Great food!! The garlic naan and mango curry were delicious Cocktails were spot on as well Really generous portions Lovely place with outdoor dining as well, live music we really enjoyed Service was excellent Will absolutely dine here again if we are in the area! read more

Truly one of the best meals I have had in a long time. I love Indian food and can be rather selective.... Growing up in Canada, being exposed to many Indian restaurants, and having my best friend's Mom cook authentic dishes for me frankly spoiled me. Today, we ordered the Samosas - a favorite of mine and my kiddos, and they were perfectly spiced and delicious. The mint chutney was balanced and fresh. Followed with the Lamb Korma (my go to). I asked for a spice level of 4, and it was perfect for me (I like it hot) but the gravy was rich and again, perfectly spiced and balanced.... The garlic naan and cool raita made a lovely accompaniment. I am excited to try the other dishes in the future, but encourage anyone to give Twisted Cork a try. read more

On October 28, 2024, while staying in Lake Chelan we decided to take a little drive to Manson in search of a restaurant that would serve something out of the ordinary from the usual options in the immediate area. I pulled up the Twisted Cork and Taphouse on my app and took a look at their menu. I was very surprised to see that they serve authentic Indian food. Being a huge fan of Indian cuisine we opted to give it a try. We arrived at about 6:00pm. The restaurant was quiet but there was evidence there had been several people there just before we arrived. The restaurant, while small, is very nice and very comfortable. There is a bar and tables in the dining room area. Off to the right there is a private area that may or may not be available to the public, possibly a private group area. We perused the menu, both available on paper or QR code and settled on vegetable Samosas, Butter chicken and Naan. I prefer plain naan while my dining partner prefers garlic naan. The food arrived in a very short amount of time and was served hot with a nice amount of rice served separately. The samosas (2) were large and served with a wonderful mint/ jalapeno and tamarind sauce on the side. The samosas, filled with potatoes and peas were delicious and the tamarind sauce was the best I have ever had. The mint/ jalapeno sauce was delicious but not unlike other mint/ jalapeno sauces I have tried which was perfect and it was cool and refreshing. The butter chicken was done to perfection. Chicken was tender and moist. The sauce was thick and had the perfect amount of spice as to compliment the meal without overpowering. Heat can be adjusted from 1-5 upon request. While eating the head chef came out to check on us. He informed us the restaurant had just opened a couple of weeks prior with the new addition of Indian cuisine was added to compliment the previous owners menu of Taphouse food. We chatted a bit with us telling him we often dine at Indian restaurants. He told us he was developing two curry dishes, one beef and one pork. He asked us if we would taste both and give an honest review. Since food reviews is what I do, I told him I would be happy to do this. Moments later, he brought out two small pieces of each the beef and pork curry, even taking a moment to add a little bit of cilantro garnish on top. Nice touch Chef! Both the pork and beef were at about a "3" in heat but can be adjusted. The beef delicious and needed a little more " cook time " as it wasn't as tender as it should be. The chef agreed and said it wasn't ready for serving but still wanted our opinion. He assured me it would be tender when served to the public. The pork on the other hand was melt in your mouth tender. He said we could expect the beef to be the same. Both were absolutely delightful. Much different than the butter chicken but again, the spices were perfectly married and the aroma was outstanding. All four dishes are 10/10. I also ordered Chai. A large mug was brought, unsweetened but with a small bowl of sugar so I could adjust for my taste. The Chai was warm and soothing on a cold evening. I always order Chai when offered and this was a perfect compliment to the food. The owner, Kuldeep Singh, came out, introduced himself and chatted with us as well. Turns out they had both been chefs at two of our favorite Indian restaurants in the Seattle area. That tracks. They broke off and opened their own place and I must say, I think they are going to be very successful as soon as the word gets out. I only wish we lived closer. Four hours is a bit of a drive but I can assure you, next time we stay in Lake Chelan we will definitely take the ten minute drive to Mason and have dinner with them again. Best of luck to you. Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambience 8/10 (casual dining) read more

This was the best Indian food I have had in a very long time. Every dish had its own unique flavor. We were a family of 9 who came in rather close to closing time, but we were met with wonderful service, and a very delish banquet. I can't recommend this place highly enough. If you like Indian food, do not hesitate to go!! Inside and outside seating. read more

We visited the Twisted Cork and Taphouse last weekend. Highly recommend! We ordered Butter Chicken, Lamb Vindaloo, Garlic Naan, Paneer. Food was delicious and came out fast! Good sides of raita and other sauces. They even had pompadoms and brought out several servings before our food arrived. Maybe a bit pricey but hey- good Indian food in Manson? Worth it! I hope to return soon!! read more

Hey, I normally DO NOT leave bad reviews and I always give the restaurant the benefit of doubt. This is my 4th time coming in. Please note, I've worked in the restaurant business both front and back for many years, I can speak how it is. But let me tell you. Our waitress was wonderful and I definitely understand how crazy it can be. We understood how our order came to be and I paid the entire bill without complaints. I DID NOT complain, maybe my guests, but not me. And let me tell you where it went down hill, a woman came up and told our waitress, "That table need their bill.". Mind you, our waitress was just talking to us, past beyond the billing issue. And then proceeding to make it a big deal even though I just paid the bill and signed it. I had to walk out because i was annoyed and yet I was paying the bill, but ignored me. At this point, that was my last time coming to this restaurant. I wish them the best. As a local/regular in Chelan county, I'm sad. read more

We've been here several times now and really enjoy it. Only once was it too busy that we ended up leaving. Tonight is Tap Takeover from Kettle House from Mousula MT. Their beer is really good. I ordered the shrimp cocktail and loved it. It came with six large shrimp on top of homemade cocktail sauce which was downright delicious. I'd definitely get that again. They have also been wonderful to my husband who had a really bad back and needs a low chair so he can't stretch out his leg. The last two times we've been here they have brought out a small table from the back room to give us so he's comfortable. To me, that's AMAZING customer service. Thank you so much! We will be back again and again. read more

Staff was VERY unfriendly and the food is very expensive for the portion sizes. My small gyro was 20$ and came with a bag of chips that you could get at a vending machine. Also they claim to have authentic indian food but also have pizza and burgers on the menu....? I would NOT recommend wasting your money at this place when there are so many other options in downtown Manson. Will not be revisiting this place read more

I don't know why this place is rated so low. It was packed poppin in here when my party of 10 arrived. Food was on point, drinks were good & service was beyond amazing. We ordered 2 shrimp curries, 2 gyros, 2 kids quesadillas, a reuben, shrimp tacos & the twisted chicken flatbread. Of course we ordered some alcoholic beverages & the drinks were bomb but my Cosmopolitan was kinda weak in alcohol, but that's my only complaint. The fam & I are visiting from Honolulu, Hawai'i & we were so happy to have found this hidden gem. Thanks so much for the hospitality! read more

While the food wasn't bad at all, the service was terrible. There are few people working and it took almost an hour for simple foods. One BLT wrap took almost an hour. The ambiance and mood wasn't at all memorable. Overall not the best experience. read more

Our little hamlet of Manson has really started to become a must visit in the Chelan area. Twisted Cork & Taphouse has just made Manson that much better. Great location right off the main drag, steps away from Wapato Point, and centered amongst all the best activities the lake has to offer. The vibe, the staff (including the owners), and the food are fantastic. Unique and very tasty menu items that will change by season and a great selection of beer and wine. Prices are reasonable based on quality, and overall is a great value. Starting in May, they'll have live music Saturday late afternoon through September. Big bonus is the outdoor patio that will offer comfortable seating in the shade during the summer months. Twisted Cork will become our local favorite! read more

Twisted Cork & Taphouse - Busy Thursday night "off season". - Salad Near Me - Manson, Washington

2024/07/12. The food was good enough -- I ordered the Chicken Street Tacos -- but the service was bare minimum. For this, I can hardly blame our server. The menu isn't very big, either. This would be fine if they at least had more diversity in their selection. All sandwiches are $20+. I first asked if I could have a "Deluxe Bacon Cheeseburger", which is $22, without the bacon, because I'm a Muslim, and for a slightly reduced cost. To this, the server told me that it would still cost the same without the bacon. I'm sorry, but... in this economy? Meat is where the money is. If there's an alienable, expensive component that I'm not getting, I expect a reasonable price reduction. Or, more easily for the business owner, they should have a "Add Bacon (+$XYZ)" like most restaurants do. They also offered no dessert menu. The air conditioning in the restaurant is also measly to non-existent (I came here in the middle of July). Edits: Grammar. read more

Excellent Indian food!! We had a very nice lunch here today and enjoyed the Saag and the Naan. This will be our new go-to favorite restaurant in Manson. read more

Outstanding service!! Outstanding Indian curry! A must stop place. These people really care about you having a great experience.

The addition of the traditional Indian cuisine to the taproom style menu was a wonderful surprise. Truly something for everyone. Flatbread, salads, sandwiches/wraps/burgers PLUS such delicious Indian dishes. We will be back many times to try everything. ​ read more

We were so excited to have an Indian restaurant in the area. The vegetable samosa was really good, so we had high hopes. We also ordered the chicken masala and butter chicken. The chicken tasted like it was cooked previously and they microwaved to heat it up to serve to us. It had a funky flavor. The sauce was good. The other surprise was how expensive it was. The chicken masala and the butter chicken were $30 each. They came in really small bowls with hardly any chicken. We ended up spending $100 for a very disappointing meal. Unfortunately, we will probably not go back here, read more

Food was very good but staff was not very friendly. Restaurant was not very busy and we waited 15 minutes after being seated before someone came to greet us. We were standing up to leave when someone finally came by. Would rate higher but service really needs to improve. read more

Twisted Cork & Taphouse - Flatbread - Salad Near Me - Manson, Washington

This place was walking distance from the hotel where we were staying, so a group of us decided to come here for dinner. It should be noted that there are not many restaurant/bar dining locations in Manson, so this was one of the only places in town unless we wanted to drive to Chelan. When we dined here in the summer of 2023, Twisted Cork and Taphouse looked like it had only opened recently. The location was very inviting, with an outdoor fenced-in area that had plenty of tables and seating shaded by sun umbrellas, and an open-air (garage door-style) indoor location with bar seating and high-seated tables. The service we received was decent, so that was appreciated. The food was not satisfying, though, especially for what we were paying: Kids Mac & Cheese ($8), Hot Dog Sliders ($10), Flatbread Pizza ($20), and Caesar Salad ($14). The flatbread pizzas were the worst offenders in terms of what we got vs. what we paid. They tasted like poor-quality microwaveable food, and it was insulting that we were paying $20/pizza for something no bigger than a personal-size option. Even the desserts were a let-down: Kids Scoop of Ice Cream ($5), Slice of Cheesecake ($8) and a Root Beer Float ($10). The proportions for all these items were even smaller than you'd expect, and the presentation/taste was lacking. The root beer float, for instance, only had one tiny scoop of ice cream and the root beer came from a can (not on-tap). Our total bill for a party of 7 (4 adults; 3 kids) who only purchased two alcoholic drinks ($7.50 x 2) and shared a number of entrees came to just under $150. It's definitely a nice establishment to look at, but I wouldn't recommend coming here to eat anything. read more

We finally got to try out Twisted Cork! Took some friends that were in town to try it out. Everything was great from service to meals We had chicken wings for appetizers that were really good! My wife had a wedge salad that was delicious, fresh and a great portion. I Ended up getting the beef street tacos that were real tasty.

Thanks Bob and Shannon you have a nice establishment!! read more

Service was great. Location was ok. Food was 'ok'. The overpriced cucumber and shrimp app needs to be off the menu. It's ridiculous. Not fresh guac. Flatbreads is just what you would think.
