My Indian co-worker took me here after I told him that I was craving Indian food & that I wanted good Authentic Indian food so he took me here. Upon arriving, I thought that this place was going to turn out to be more of fast food than regular restaurant food. Boy was I wrong..Im glad I was wrong =) Garlic Naan is so delicious here, freshly made right in the oven here =) 4 stars Palak Paneer (Spinach w/ cottage cheese): 5 stars So flavorful, aromatic & delicious. Bhindi Badhara (fried okra): 3.5 stars Okra isnt my cup of tea but I liked the flavors on this. Shrimp curry (red): 5 stars So delicious, made me keep eating until I could barely walk outta here =) Decor here isnt that great here & the food arrangement is a bit off but the great tasting flavorful foods here make up for it. Will definitely come back to try other dishes for sure. Tip: check in for 10% off your bill =) You can tell them how spicy you want your food to be too.

Im a big fan on Indian food and MasalaCraft is quite possibly the very best in the area. When it comes to Indian food this place has never let me down and I have tried most their entrees! I am a massive fan of their Navratan Korma, and have a hard time not getting it every time! The Navratan Korma is packed with huge quantities of veggies! The Naan is also delicious, being up there with the best. I am also a big fan of spicy food, and MasalaCraft always excels in this department when when I choose their spicy entrees. I always ask my main man Alvin at MasalaCraft for extra of their special in-house made multi-pepper sauce on the side, and boy is it the real deal!!! Delicious flavor and serious spice!

OK, so I ordered some food online from these guys, and I dont even know where to start. The food is so spicy I had to throw it away. And this is coming from an Indian person. And it is not just me either and not one dish. We ordered 3 different dishes among the three of us and none of us could eat it. All three dishes were bland with a ridiculous amount of spice. And I dont think this is a mistake. You really have to put 3 times as much chili powder than normal and this is simply a case of utter disregard for their customer. If I could give negative stars I would. P.S: There was an option to request spicy but I didnt even do that.

This is a very disgusting place. Once you walk in you get the feeling that things are not clean. I ordered the 3 item Combo and a cup of water. the water was dirty with black dirt in it floating,. I couldnt have time to judge the food because after few minutes while Im eating, I found human hair in 2 of the three items I ordered (both were chicken). I give back the guy who works there the try with with peaces of chicken that has the hair in them and left before I through up.

Came here for lunch with family on Friday and as expected it was busy. The service is really really good. Very attentive and friendly staff. We didnt get the buffet and ordered for the menu. The food in general was tasty. In addition to what we ordered, they surprised us by giving us some free appetizers and bottomless masala chai! Masala chai was super awesome!!! Definitely come back if in the neighborhood:) and thanks to the lovely staff.

Visiting the area for work and not wanting to drive from the hotel we gave this small restaurant a go last night. We ordered lamb, chicken, goat and vegetarian dishes, along with three types of naan. Upon ordering we were asked how spicy we wanted each dish and they delivered what we expected. Everything was delicious, the staff were very pleasant and helpful and wed go back in a heartbeat.

Ordered a good size meal using GrubHub. My order was correct. The naan breads were tasty but the meat on both main entrees (lamb) was tough. Sauces were great, good flavour. The rice did not taste freshly cooked maybe 2 day old rice that was re-warmed?. I would caution all on the Lamb dishes. One great point given for the samosas they were perfect! I would eat their samosas any day!

Walking in you already know your at the right place! This is absolutely delicious everything on the menu about is absolutely delectable! Its tucked away in a little shopping and a little hard to miss but you definitely cant miss the smells! I love how the kitchen is in plain view and the chefs really are Indian. It doesnt get more authentic then this place

Totally worthy of their name, masala craft stands out for its aroma, flavors and taste. The ambience is average with an open kitchen where you can peek into the chefs craft of kadai preps. Once eaten here youll definitely return again for the taste. Combos are great deals for daily eaters but an ala carte for a family is also fresh and up to the mark!

Small establishment with just a few tables, courteous staff and food is great. I went in to order just one thing but ended up ordering 2-3 items. First I thought that the total price was a little more then I expected but the food was in large volume and very delicious. I ended up eating 3 dinners of that one time order. Will go back again.........

Just had the most amazing Indian food. The people here are so kind, helpful, and friendly. It was my first time having India food- and Im vegetarian- and asked what they would recommend. The dish they recommend was finger licking good. I was also impressed that they had vegan options! Awesome! If you are in the area its worth trying.

Best Indian food Ive ever had! Lamb curry was insane, samosas out of this world, great naan... My brothers food was incredible too, he ordered a bunch of stuff. Cant say enough about this place. Great service, too. Alwin was great. Slightly pricey, but absolutely worth it. Looking forward to many more trips here.

Had to wait an hour after being told to pick up to go within 15-20 minutes. They forgot onion naan until I reminded them (they would have let me walk out the door). We asked for mild with spice on the side and they cooked it spicy and did not include spice on the side. The naan was burned and not very tasty.

We came to visit from Houston looking for some good local Indian food and were pretty disappointed. Not only was the food overly spiced--particularly the masala dosa but the staff was not very attentive either. Took 20 minutes to get the masala chai which came out way below Indian standards...

Great Indian food at a very affordable price (Lunch buffet) - The place inside is small but theres plenty of seating space outside. The food is really good, not too spicy and the vegetables are always cooked well but not so well they become a mush. The staff is always very friendly.

Small place....great people, awesome food...truly indian hospitality....i make sure i eat at masalacraft atleast once a week...sometimes twice or even thrice.....their flexibility to custom-make dishes is truly amazing....overall, 15 out of 10 for them in ratings!

Freshly cooked. Delicately spiced so you can taste the vegetables (we asked for medium spice). Great service and generous servings. We had quite a bit left over. Had navratan curry, tandoori potato, bhajia, dal tacks and butter naan.
