Although the atmosphere is lovely and inviting, the smell in the air smells like a mixture of hotdogs and urine! I could not, for the life of me, enjoy our Valentines Day supper. I could not stomach the taste of the food. Perhaps curry is an aquired taste? I REALLY wanted to like it! :(

We go down to Masala with our daughter and son-in-law when we visit them in Alexandria, Louisiana which is a bit over 1 hour away. The lunch buffet is similar to other Indian restaurants, but we always order off the menu because you can get your food mild, medium, hot, or Indian hot and all of us, except my wife... More

We dine here about once every 3 months and are always very happy with the food and service. My favorites are the Chili, Vindaloo, or Curry Lamb or Chicken along with any of the Biryani dishes. The owners, who always personally check with every table, take pride in Masala and it shows.

Our group of 5 ate here last night and the blend of flavors were exquisite. The owner came by to check on us, and the staff were friendly. We tried Chicken Biryani, Samosa Tikki Chaat, Malai Kofta, & Boti Kebab and Salmon Masala. The Naan and Bohti were wonderful. It was reasonably priced and a great dining experience.

I have eaten here several times and it is always excellent! It is a little pricey; but, it is easy to split a dish if need be. I think that it makes sense though that the price is a little bit more because of the Indian cuisine not being so readily available locally. The atmosphere is also very nice.

The food was excellent, flavors very authentic...we had a great spicy salmon and the biryani was pretty good too, mild enough for the kids to eat. The meat kebab was a bit dry and chewy. Service was friendly and efficient. They have a delcious mango dessert in an edible chocolate cup, worth trying! We did feel some dishes were a... More
