Masala Cafe Indian Cuisine - Newark

Authentic Indian cuisine that is very good. We weren't sure if it was going to go out or sit down. We had a big group they served us very well. We will return 100% to this restaurant when in the area.

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 paratha that tasted great. Masala tea was average but not that bad. I recommend this place

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 was tomato and water Chicken biryani : it was a pulav with 2 chicken pieces , and low on salt Pomfret was low on masala and low on salt as well The dosa was edible. Although the chutney weren't fresh but the dosa one of the items which were edible.. samber was hot water with boiled daal.. Chai teA : it was just boiled water with powdered tea and trust me I am not even exaggerating Gulab jamun : although they tasted good , they were at least 2 days old and not hot. Just warmed up in the microwave oven I think .. The only good thing about our food was the coke.. No wonder the restaurant was empty on a busy night Please take these criticisms positively and improve.. Stay away as far as you can . Trust me and stay away

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 with crispy edges. We?re not Indian so we?re unable to speak on the authenticity of the taste but the cooks and servers are Indian so I doubt the food isn?t also authentically Indian. The bowls may look a bit small from the pictures but the portions were extremely reasonable for the price. The three of us were able to share each dish equally. The service was also amazing.

Nice restaurant. Pretty decent tasting food. Friendly staff. Best thing was very quick service!
