I ordered chicken biryani, garlic naan, and butter chicken for delivery, and everything was…read moreabsolutely spot‑on. The food arrived hot, fresh, and neatly packaged with no spills or mess. The chicken biryani was wonderfully fragrant and full of flavor, with tender pieces of chicken and perfectly cooked basmati rice infused with spices. The butter chicken was rich, creamy, slightly sweet, and incredibly comforting -- the kind of dish you just keep going back to. The garlic naan was soft, warm, and full of garlicky goodness (without being overpowering), perfect for scooping up every bit of sauce. Portions were generous enough to enjoy leftovers the next day. If you're looking for a satisfying meal at a reasonable price, this is a great choice. Better flavors, prices and portions than Destination India in my opinion.

The super Chef-Owner is a retired Anesthesiology MD who also holds a PhD in Food Sciences. And he does much of the cooking himself. Not inexpensive, but worth every penny ! Anything Tandoori or Masala will be great. Try lentil soup & buttery nan-gee. Great place for a quiet lunch. Spotless restrooms, easy parking, some shaded. Caveat: Watch closely for tall red sign, don't pass this up.

Masala is a great place for Indian food in Lafayette…read more I was in town for work and my brother recommended we try this place. His kids don't eat Indian food (that is poor parenting right there) so he rarely gets to eat here. It was very good. The service was excellent. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable and offered several recommendations. The owner worked the room and checked on us several times. You could tell that he is passionate about his restaurant and appreciated us as customers. I opted for the mixed grill and would strongly encourage you to do the same. It was a bit of everything cooked tandoori style. The stars of the dish were the lamb and shrimp but everything was great. The flavors of Indian food can be so complex and difficult to describe for me. The short version is that everything was rich with a super deep flavor that is really unique. Don't be scared if you have never eaten this style of cuisine before. It is truly delicious. If you are looking for a unique place to dine in Lafayette, make sure to add Masala to your list.

Then I remembered this Indian restaurant that I tried before, even though my husband has not. I visited this place back when it was still smaller and had not expanded yet. I still remember the food being delicious so I was really excited to come back. We went around lunch time and it was not too busy. We decided to do the buffet since I knew they added it after the expansion, but I never got a chance to return until now. The buffet was 19.99 per person. I am not sure if that was a holiday price or the regular price. The food was amazing and full of flavor. I really enjoyed the mushroom masala and the butter chicken. Their goat curry was also very good, the meat did not have any strange taste or smell. I do not usually like goat so I was hesitant, but this one surprised me and I actually liked it. The service was super nice and attentive. The server noticed we did not have naan because they were out at the moment, and when the fresh batch came out he brought it to our table right away. He talked to every table and made sure everyone was doing good, and he also listened to feedback. Everything was great, but me and my husband both felt that having a few more food options would make the buffet even better. The selection was still on the smaller side, although I do understand Indian food can be more expensive and time consuming to prepare. I do wish they had samosas and garlic naan. The regular naan is good but garlic naan always hits different. If you do not want buffet you can also order plates instead. After about thirty minutes I noticed a lot more people started coming in, which means this place is well loved and popular. Overall it was a good experience. The price is a little high for the amount of selection, but the food quality is top tier so it still feels worth dining in. We would definitely come back again

It's nestled into a strip mall on Highland Road near its junction with Boyd. This area has ample surface parking. The interior is simple and contemporary, allowing diners to focus on the menu. Indian cuisine can be complex, and there are a lot of choices offered. However, the menu does a good job of explaining the dishes and their ingredients. It's fun to try out different things and learn about new dishes that one might like. I'm trying to break out of the habit of always trying a dish I'm familiar with. In my last visit I ordered Chicken Masala Noodles which is definitely different. Can't say as I have ever had an Indian pasta dish before. The service is both subdued and attentive, which is classy. They will surprise you with their appearance just when they are needed.

I really enjoyed the cucumber salad and the peanut sauce that it came with, and the chicken itself was delicious of course. Absolutely obsessed with the green curry crispy pork fried rice, so flavorful and delicious. I loved the texture of the pork, and the dish had a nice spice to it which we were warned about so that's always appreciated. The pad Thai was so good! I got the shrimp pad Thai add vegetables and the portions for everything were perfect. I was full with a good amount to take home still. Lastly, I tried the Thai tea and thoroughly enjoyed it. It had the perfect amount of sweet to it. So in addition to the delicious food, great portions, and wonderful service, I was very impressed by this place and will absolutely be back.
