After reading several positive reviews, we decided to give this place a try for lunch. However, our experience fell far short of our expectations. One red flag was the lack of available parking, which should have served as a warning sign. Eventually, we managed to find parking on one of the side streets.

This is a good place to get decent Indian food. I’ve been there a couple times and I’ve had their food a lot of times. Thanks to the chef- Sandeep Kumar, for cooking such delicious food. I would say that this restaurant is a good option if you’re going for Indian food.

I went to this restaurant the other day and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the lamb vindaloo and garlic naan. I inquired about the food since it tasted very authentic and the chef Sandeep Kumar, came and answered all questions about it, showing dedication to his craft. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area.

Dining at Masala Elaichi is more than just a meal; it’s a culinary journey through the rich tapestry of Indian cuisine. From the moment we were greeted by the friendly and attentive staff, we knew we were in for a special evening. The warm ambiance set the stage for a dining experience that was both authentic and innovative.

holy smokes this is fantastic cuisine! i had the lamb mutter and it went perfectly with the yellow rice. incredibly aromatic. also my friend and i shared both the chicken and veg pakoras, and they were also grand! chicken pakoras were sliced in a way that made dipping nicer in the delicious tamarind and mint chutneys. good thinking! i want to try eating in next time for the street food…

Overall the food was awesome. We ordered chole bhature and masala dosa, both were so good. They are cuisines from different parts and I never found both good at a same restaurant. My suggestion would be to give some dip with the paneer tikka and raw onions, and pickle with chole bhature. Those sides really enhances the taste.

Masala Elaichi is the BEST Indian cuisine I have ever had. The paneer pakora is fresh, hot, crunchy- very yummy! The yellow rice is delicious and they don’t skimp on whole fresh seasonings. The curry is so flavorful and rich, and the meat is fresh and very high quality. Inside, the restaurant is very cute, and the atmosphere is relaxing! Service was fast, friendly, and welcoming. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. I will be bringing my in laws in to eat here soon as well!

Food was excellent and well prepared. Good value for plate volume and flavor. I adore Indian Food and have been cooking it and eating it for decades. Just a helpful hint on the hospitality side. We had an off putting end of the meal experience. We were literally kicked out of the restaurant at 9:00 pm on a Sunday evening by the woman owner “manager”. Without any warning the middle aged Indian woman managing the front of the house apparently told our waitress to tell us that that we must leave now!

Best Indian food I’ve had in a long time maybe ever. I got my go to of curry chicken with garlic naan. It is amazing! I saved some for breakfast but almost couldn’t resist raiding the fridge in the middle of the night to get a snack. The owners are very nice and they even gave me a free dessert that is delicious. I dont know what it is called but I’d describe it as an Indian spiced rice pudding. I will be eating from here again for sure. Right now they are take out only but I look forward to dining in one day soon once covid is under control.
