We had one of the most heartwarming dining experiences here! We visited without knowing that you have to order Mandi in advance. When we learned this, we were about to leave disappointed—especially because it was my friend’s birthday and he had already faced a string of bad restaurant experiences that day.
As we were walking out, the owner himself stopped us outside and asked why we were leaving. We explained the situation, and without hesitation, he asked if we would be okay waiting a bit. He then went out of his way to personally prepare Mandi for us, even though it wasn’t pre-ordered.
The wait was completely worth it—the Mandi was flavorful, aromatic, and cooked to perfection. But what truly stood out was the kindness, hospitality, and genuine care we experienced. The owner made sure we were comfortable, checked on us often, and made the whole dinner feel special.
Thanks to him, my friend’s birthday turned around completely. This place is not just about great food—it’s about people who truly care about their customers. My friend’s birthday is coming up again soon, and we will 100% be coming back here to celebrate! Highly recommend!

We went here to try out this new Indian restaurant that a friend told us about. We were there during lunch time so we opted for their lunch buffet. I believe it is $14.99/person now.
Very limited selection of dishes and about half of them were out of protein/veggies with only the sauces left.
One chicken dish has a lot of little bones in the curry. And most dishes were on the bland side.
The restaurant was about half full on the weekend. The buffet was not worth it in my opinion so perhaps ordering al la carte is better.
There were flies in the restaurant and some trash on the floor so it didn’t really look like it’s a clean restaurant. We sort of lost our appetites.

After a long day of traveling, my friend and I got to the restaurant around 7 p.m. We ordered Chicken Lollipop, Kodi Vepudu, and Amravathi Chicken Biryani. About 30 minutes in, we were told the Chicken Lollipop wasn’t available, so we switched to Chicken 65. By the time our food finally arrived, it had been more than 45 minutes.
But the food was totally worth it. Every dish was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The server was also super helpful and recommended some great dishes to try, which made the experience even better.
The only real downside was the long wait, but if you’ve got the patience, the food definitely makes up for it!

From the moment you exit the car, you know (hope) this gonna be good. They didn’t disappoint. In fact, it was amazing! Some of the deepest, richest, most authentic S. Indian flavors I’ve had anywhere.
Only open for two months, they can make better use of the interior space. It’s a bit rustic with deep teal walls and wood tables, brightened by shimmering silver-toned water pitchers and asymmetrical-shape plates.
The house special veg curry with mushrooms had such deep curry flavor, an interesting blend of spices I’ve not had, and far from an ordinary blend. I loved how the little mushrooms they used added a good toothsome texture.
My father enjoyed his soup. I don’t recall the name, but for my preference, it had way too much oil. One bite into the garlic Naan confirmed this place knew what they were doing. It had the right amount of softness, crispness, and garlic flavor.
Outstanding. Will be my go-to. I look forward to trying the buffet, although I read veg options are limited. Oh, and our server, Gilgan, is a sweetheart.

visited Masala House for the first time and overall it was not bad. Most of the food was delicious—especially the pav bhaji, which I absolutely loved. They also had a great deal going on, which made the visit feel even more worthwhile.
The customer service was friendly, though I did have a slightly awkward moment where one of the staff members stared at me for a bit before approaching to help. It wasn’t a big issue, but it stood out.
The only food item I was disappointed with was the panipuri—the stuffing was too little, which made it feel underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal. If you look closer at the picture I think you can tell.
One important point I want to mention is about the halal status. Before visiting, I called to confirm and was told everything is halal. However, there was no visible signage, menu indication, or certificate in the restaurant to confirm this. For those who specifically seek halal food, this might be concerning.
Overall it was not bad, but I hope they clarify the halal status more transparently and maybe work on improving the panipuri.

were treated to the VIP treatment in a private room. Every Friday-Sunday they have a private traditional Indian dining experience where you are seated low to the ground on cushions while enjoying Mandi (means family style of sharing) Biryani. Yes you eat with your hands!!! Family style.
We started with Fresh Watermelon Juice was amazing!!!
We were treated to the family dousa which is something I have never seen! It is 6 feet long and has delicious dips and chutney to spread on! It is made with lentils and rice and is super lite!
We had a flavorful Chicken Biryani, make for 2 and it was a whole chicken with the best spices I have ever had!!!
They have champagne, beer and More something for everyone:)
Raja and his staff were the best!!! Cannot wait to go back here again!!!
Oh and they have a weekend Buffet….Indulge in their with over + that will leave you craving for more!

Positive first. Food tasted really good. Family dosa is awesome. Authentic South Indian food taste.
There was no wait for table and food took a bit longer but not too long.
There was no attention to details. Steel tumblers for water still had half torn stickers with bar code on the face. On family size dosa plate was almost 2 ft longer than table. Nobody tried to make space on the table before trying to slide 6 ft long dosa plate. Sambar was in a shall bucket for the family but no individual bowls to pour your personal sambar. Even when asked they could get small dishes used for chutney. Chutney quantities were same as regular dosa, not scaled to match with larger family sized dosa. Raita with biryani is like 1 spoon in same chutney dish. I seriously don’t understand this concept of so tiny raita with biryani. Atmosphere was dull. Kids and adults from next table were constantly walking around our table while waiting on their food. It was a bit too much, like every minute. There were only 2-3 tables occupied in the whole restaurant and still someone is walking by and staring at our food every minute. Just a bit unusual.

My partner and I loved coming to Masala House over the weekend and experiencing the private room for our meal, just the two of us. You can reserve one in advance (no walk-ins) on Fridays-Sundays.
We ordered Veggie Samosas, Gobi Manchurian, Pani Poori Shoots as our appetizers, Orange Curry Chicken (for my partner), Potato House Special Curry, and Gungara Mushroom Biryani as our mains, Masala Dosa and Garlic Naan as our sides. We loved the interactivity of Pani Poori Shoots (and the flavor!) and the Potato Curry (so spicy and flavorful!) Our waiter was so helpful letting me know what is/could be made vegan on the menu.
We left absolutely stuffed and heard there is a lunch buffet Mondays and Wednesdays for just $12.99 for 23 items! I need to go back to see how many of them are vegan!

Update: Everyday Lunch and Dinner Buffet increased from $10.99 to $11.99.
This restaurant seems to be in a soft-opening phase, since part of the restaurant is still under construction (looks like they’re putting in some cozy booths) and there were definitely a lot of kinks we encountered while having lunch here on a Thursday afternoon.
We arrived about 1:30pm on Thursday, and although there was no wait for a table, the service was a little backed up. The owner invited us to have a seat and get started as he ran to try and clean up or bring more food.
When we went to the buffet to get food, but there was nothing available. Chai dispenser was empty. We also noticed there were many other groups of diners there, all sitting around waiting for more food to be brought out.
There were no clean plates to use (only small bowls), and no forks either (just spoons). Waiting for forks, plates, and food took at least 20 minutes. When they brought out more chicken or paneer, it was gone really fast since it was only about 10-15 pcs at a time. The pace of the food made my appetite disappear fast.
The plain naan was nice and crispy when brought out fresh and available more frequently than the other dishes. My favorite item was the butter chicken curry. The paneer butter curry was also good.
Service: They were too busy to clean the tables until diners left, so each table needed to stack up their own plates to have enough dining space.
Parking: The parking lot is extremely tight. We parked on the street nearby.

It’s sooper Masala time ;). I ordered Hyderabadi Biriyani and it was really spicy for me. Probably I ordered it late afternoon. Outside of the spice factor, the food was great. Courteous and welcoming staff, nice ambience.
