Very welcoming atmosphere. They sat us immediately. The bathrooms were clean and the dining area was as well. We asked for suggestions and the owner came to our table to answer our questions. The food was amazing and not too spicy even though I ordered medium.

Service was good Food was great and reasonably priced Cucumber salad to die for Tandoori sampler appetizer was a meal unto itself and a great bargain " house " wine was Sutter Home if you have higher tastes in wine you should probably skip and get a beer

This is my second time ordering in Masala. I was disappointed because the samosa did not taste as good as I remembered. It was too mushy potatoey. In addition the garlic naan was dry and burnt. I did enjoy the chicken saag. My first time to taste this. I ordered mild spicy and it has a kick which I liked. But I'm glad it came with the basmati rice to neutralize the spiciness.

Have ordered to-go a few times but went in person on Sunday and man...it definitely tastes better in person! I ordered chai, chicken makhani, and garlic naan. The chai was okay but the chicken makhani and garlic naan were incredible. The serving size is HUGE. We had enough for two leftover meals! Service was good and relatively quick. It's not super fancy just about 15 tables inside but you will be full and happy like I was when I left. I would say my usual order and experience is 4 star but when we went the other day? Definitely 5 star.

I've been going here for years and this time I got there take out for dinner. I ordered saag paneer which is so delicious, chicken tikka masala which has so much flavor the only this is I wish it was made with dark meat inside of white because I feel like the white meat is tougher and drier. Two orders of garlic naan which were so good and fluffy. Masala is one of my favorite Indian restaurants in Lexington for dine in or takeout! The service is always nice and welcoming and so cozy inside if you wanna dine in.

Wow! This place was really really good. I got the Chicken Tikka Masala and let me tell you... I was battling a SEVERE case of appendicitis at the time and STILL finished my plate! Mmmmmmm..... I didn't know that this place would be the last place I would eat at while I still had an appendix, but I'm glad it was. I sent my appendix out with a BANGIN 5/5 STAR meal! Unfortunately, due to the appendicitis, I missed an important exam but this Indian food lifted my spirits and made things feel better. I loved it. I will happily eat here again. It'll take more than a silly ol' appendix to keep me out of the "food review" game!

Every time I come to Kentucky, it's generally for a big racing event so of course people are waiting in line to go to Tony's or Frank and Dino's or Dudleys. But no trip for me is complete without coming to masala. The food here is just phenomenal. It's a touch on the pricey side which I feel like it's kind of been a trend with Indian food as of late. But you won't be disappointed with the quality or the portion size. This is just a little hole in the wall and a shopping center. That's pretty close to the freeway so it's very convenient to get to. The non-is so fluffy and hot and it just makes a perfect pairing with the sauce even though I know that's not how you're supposed to eat it. I also love all of the vegetarian dishes. This time I got the mushroom matar and the spice level was just exquisite. I took home all my leftovers for a meal the next day. And even though I had to refrigerator, I was gross and let it sit out and then I ate it anyways ....cold. And you know what... That shit was still good If you like Indian food, or even if you've never had it, and you want to try it; this is your spot

They had a small lunch buffet going on when I stopped in, which is a surprising development these days. However, I was happy that I got takeout as the buffet didn't include enough vegetarian variety to make it worthwhile for me. I asked for Indian hot on my chickpeas (and got a raise of the eyebrow for having done so from the people working there). My channa masala was richly flavored and delivered more of a sustained burn than an immediate hit. It was hot enough to be reflux inducing (sadly, my taste buds and my esophageal sphincter don't always get along), but delicious. Their interpretation of mulligatawny soup was a bit odd; it looked more like sambar and the taste was a bit more sour than I expected. My biggest knock against them was that the menu didn't have more variety, but what I did get was certainly tasty enough to get me to come back.
