Reviews for Masala Cafe Indian Cuisine in Newark, NJ
The food was not particularly memorable. I wouldn't bother leaving a review except I'm annoyed that they garnished the food with... cilantro, despite my calling and specifically asking them not to. If you have allergies or strong food preferences you mightwant to try somewhere a little more attentive. Read more
The sambar vada had nice fresh crisp vadas, but the sambar itself was disappointing. The lamb biriyani was soggy and over... salted. We didn’t try the dosas, which was in retrospect a mistake Read more
Authentic Indian cuisine that is very good. We were not sure if it was take out only or sit down. We had a large group & they... sat & served us very nicely. We will 100% be returning to this restaurant when in the area. Read more
Masala cafe serves good food. Rava masala onion Dosa was made fresh. However the chef sprinkled chopped onions instead of... cooking the onions with the dosa. Overall nice taste. Chutney and sambhar were also served fresh. Best part was aloo parathathat tasted great. Masala tea was average but not that bad. I recommend this place Read more
One word review : Disaster We ordered Indochinese schz fried rice , mysore dosa , chicken biryani , pomfret , tea and can of... coke and gulajamun Indo chinese schz fried rice : This is just a slap in the name of indo chinese. This was served with peas (mutter ) in it. Please stop ruining indo chinese food with peas in it.. they served it with a so called schz chutney which wastomato and water Chicken biryani : it was a pulav with 2 chicken pieces , and low on salt Pomfret was low on masala and low onsalt as well The dosa was edible. Although the chutney weren't fresh but the dosa one of the items which were edible.. samberwas hot water with boiled daal.. Chai ( teA) : it was just boiled water with powdered tea and trust me I am not evenexaggerating Gulab jamun : although they tasted good , they were at least 2 days old and not hot. Just warmed up in themicrowave oven I think .. The only good thing about our food was the coke.. No wonder the restaurant was empty on a busynight Please take these criticisms positively and improve.. Stay away as far as you can . Trust me and stay away Read more
My friends and I randomly came here and the food was honestly amazing. I got the spicy boneless chicken biryani and it was... definitely a 10/10. My friends got the chicken vindaloo and lamb masala which they loved. The garlic naan was nice and soft withcrispy edges. We’re not Indian so we’re unable to speak on the authenticity of the taste but the cooks and servers areIndian so I doubt the food isn’t also authentically Indian. The bowls may look a bit small from the pictures but the portionswere extremely reasonable for the price. The three of us were able to share each dish equally. The service was also amazing. Read more
Nice restaurant. Pretty decent tasting food. Friendly staff. Best thing was very quick service!
Placed an order for pickup after work. Unfortunately when I got there, the door was locked despite the hours saying open, and... everyone just stared at me. I understand the need for a meal break, but maybe don't accept orders within that time frame. I'mjust glad their website doesn't have you pay for your order ahead of time. Read more
