Reviews
We ordered the chicken chat, tomato soup, lamb vindaloo, fried chicken & mushrooms, and rice. Everything was very unique but incredibly tasty! The chicken had a slight sweetness to it, and the lamn literally melted in my mouth.
The place is super clean, with almost obsessive attention to detail – even the glasses were spotless, not a single smudge. Only two guys were working on a busy Saturday, but somehow they cooked and served everything really fast.
Meal was $55 total for 2 people.
The only thing to be aware of is that the waiter’s outfit is super casual, and he’s not really helpful when it comes to choosing dishes, so I’d recommend looking up some Indian meals in advance, just to have an idea of what you might like. Good thing the menu is big and has pictures.
Highly recommend checking this place out! We’ve tried other restaurants around Big Bear Lake, but the food here was by far the best.
The service was attentive, though understandably a bit reserved given that there appeared to be just one waiter managing the entire dining room, from bussing to serving. Even with the multitasking, he kept things moving at a steady pace.
Overall, Masala Craft delivers a decent meal in a casual setting. It is a solid option if you are in the mood for Indian food, with standout appetizers like the samosas making it worth the visit.
At first glance, it looks like a simple spot. But the longer you sit, the more details you start to notice. It’s super clean — like, surprisingly clean. Tables, glasses, silverware, even the restroom — spotless. You can feel when people really care about their place.
I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure what to order. I’m not big on spicy food, so I asked the waiter for a little help and then decided to trust my own instinct. Went with tomato soup and chicken with mushrooms. Both hit the mark — warm, rich, perfectly seasoned, just enough flavor without burning you out. After that, I ordered ginger tea, and that sealed it. Could’ve taken it to go, but I stayed and finished every drop.
Only small thing I noticed — the staff was dressed kind of casual, more sporty than uniform. Not really a complaint, more like an observation. I was dressed the same way, so it worked.
Total was $55.70, and worth every dollar. This one’s a solid 5 stars from me. I’ll be back for sure.
surely visit this restaurant again
