The food was OK here. Ordered butter chicken. It came in a big bowl with at least 3 cups of basmati rice, the chicken dispersed on top and a little sauce. It was too much rice and did not taste authentic. The spices were very mild.The cauliflower manchurian was just raw cauliflower with a batter and deep fried with a sweet sauce.My friends love this place. The atmosphere is lovely and service good.For me, I was not WOW’d.

The food is pretty good. I recommend getting their Thali plates, where you can get a sampling of what they have to offer. The vibes of the place are pretty good, I haven’t seen a bar in an Indian restaurant before? Seems like it is understaffed since they only had one person at the bar, who was also the waiter. So things were a little on the slow side. Overall a pretty good experience!

The food here is awesome! We have a favorite Indian place in corvallis, but this is much better. Highly recommend! There were 5 of us and everyone thought the food was amazing. We now have a favorite Indian place in Ashland.

Hipster, dive vibe in an excellent location. Very safe & walkable neighborhood in an older, less trendy area of Ashland…which keeps the menu prices very reasonable! Drinks were $10, naan was $5 (Even the gluten-free.), and entrees were +/- $20. My husband, who dislikes curry, even loved it. Small venue that gets VERY busy after the traditional dinner rush. The bar is a great place to meet friends. Every item exceeded our expectations! Jeremy was great, we appreciated all of his suggestions. We just left but already can’t wait to return. Did I mention that the owner’s name is also Sasha? LOL These are her authentic, family recipes. Her husband is a Southern Oregon native. What an asset to the community.

The royal thali was fantastic. MTB ride recovery food. Split it with my buddy along with a plate of samosas. The aloo mutter gobi deserves a definite shout out – the texture was amazing – I find potato based curries can often be dry – but this was spot on. The Shrimp Malai Curry was top notch – such a flavorful sauce as was the Chana Marsala. I wiped the bowls clean with the naan bread (brushed with delicious ghee – one of the tastiest naan breads I’ve had in a while). Overall deliciousness. Oh and they got a bar too and made a mean old fashioned.

We have eaten Indian food all over the world, including India. Our meal at Masala was amazing. The kitchen took the dishes to a different level, most certainly inspired by the traditional recipes, but unlike any that we have ever had. And then we need to give kudos to the servers. They were attentive and friendly and could speak directly to every dish that was presented. Thank you Amanda. Such a delightful experience!

Masala Bistro was a letdown. The mixed pakoras were overly greasy, with oil dripping off them. The naan and roti tasted like they came from costco frozen items instead of being freshly made. The sabzi dishes were okay, but nothing memorable. For a restaurant claiming to serve authentic Indian food, I expected much better quality and freshness.

Great food, good quantity. We got gobhi Manchurian for appetizer and the royal thali. We were 5 of us so we did end up trying almost all the curry options available. Gobhi manchurian tasted nice even though it was more of a honey chilli kind of dish. Overall, food quality was good and all curries tasted different so that was great. Food was very rich and portion size is big for the thali so there is no way you will be able to finish it in one go. The naan was my favorite bit. Lamb Rogan josh was the best. Butter chicken, chanaa masala and shrimp malai curry were also delicious. Medium spice level is decent. If you ask for spicy, it comes with a bunch of chilli powder at the top which does make the curry very spicy. There is no shrikhand with the thali. We got gulag jamuns in place of that.
I also got the rose mule which was delicious and had a great ginger kick to it.
Would recommend to try this place when in Ashland 🙂
