Service is wonderful. This review is for a catering order. We ordered 20 butter chicken burritos (and they offered to turn the order into 40 mini burritos. Perfect!). The burritos individually wrapped and were the right size for the parents, though even at mild, the butter chicken was a little spicy to me. I asked about allergens, and the lady let me know that they were going nut free in a week and everything would no longer have nuts. The butter chicken does contain dairy in the form of queso. We also ordered a tray of the corn bhel (this was AMAZING) and mixed salad (in hindsight, probably not the best order for a bunch of four and five year olds). Both are dairy-free and nut-free. The food was delivered promptly to the venue exactly on time. I paid for the order via Zelle when I placed the order. read more

What did I just eat? I'm genuinely confused after eating at Maast Indian in Irvine, because I don't know how something can look so promising on the outside and taste so disappointing on the inside. I was skeptical walking in, not gonna lie. The place wasn't exactly packed -- maybe three tables had people and there was one person waiting on an order -- but I figured hey, every new spot deserves a fair shot. The interior actually looks really nice. Clean, modern, good layout, good lighting... it feels like a place that should be delivering quality food. Then I ordered the Tandoori Chicken "Panini Sandwich". First of all... $15 for a sandwich like that is wild. And if you're going to charge $15, the food better be memorable in a good way. This was memorable in the worst way. The flavor was just off. The chicken didn't taste like tandoori should. It didn't have that smoky, spiced kick you expect -- it tasted bland and kind of weird, like the seasoning didn't know what it wanted to be. The whole sandwich felt thrown together, and the "panini" part didn't add anything except disappointment. And what really got me was the value. No fries. No chips. Nothing on the side. Just a sandwich. For $15. During lunch hours. That's crazy. For that same price, I can go to Curry Hut, Curry Time, or other grab-and-go Indian spots and get a full combo plate that actually fills you up and tastes like Indian food is supposed to taste. This wasn't even in the same league. This wasn't a "maybe I ordered the wrong thing" situation. This was a "how did this make it onto the menu" situation. I hate leaving negative reviews because I understand how hard it is to run a small business, and I'm not here to tear anyone down. But the food needs a serious reality check. The presentation and the space are great -- but the kitchen needs to match that same standard. If the owner sees this, I'd honestly love to talk. Feel free to reach out. And for anyone reading this: you know I don't throw out 1-star reviews like that. The only reason this isn't a 1 is because I genuinely don't want to hurt a small business. But this experience was not good. read more

Found this place while looking for food spots around kohls since I had to do some Amazon returns LOL Came here for dinner with my husband on a Thursday night around 6:45pm. We were seated right away. It took a little bit for us to get a menu but we were served water quickly and the waitress gave us menus shortly after. They played cooking videos on the TVs. We ordered a munch wrap with butter braised lamb and smothered masala tots to share. It was a plenty of food for the 2 of us. Food came out pretty shortly after we ordered and it was very tasty! The munch wrap had a great crispy texture. The braised lamb was tender. Smothered masala tots were super flavorful. All in all, if you're looking for an Indian fusion place, definitely give this place a try! read more

Maast Indian - Munchwrap with butter braised lamb and smothered masala tots - Indian Near Me - Irvine, California

Very filling and dank this place has bomb Indian food. Maast is located in a small plaza with 5-6 other shops. The restaurant itself is small with few seating. You can order at kiosk or the register. They have various bowls, wraps, and curry dishes. I got the chicken burrito with tandoori sauce hubby got the lamb with malai. ($17-$20 a burrito) The burrito is huge and packed. Chicken was a bit dry but the tandoori sauce had a perfect kick for mild space. My hubbys burrito is rich with lots of flavor, Overall solid place if you want a huge meal. Would love to try the wraps my next visit! read more

Maast Indian - Chicken burrito - Indian Near Me - Irvine, California

There's so much customization options, i caused a line trying to decide what I can fit in my stomach in one visit. I want to get one of everything and then two of anything else. With all your veggie add ons, tofu and paneer. Why, thank you, I thought you'd never ask! This is also the perfect kind of food that holds up great the next day. Big chunky samosas with lip-sweating mint chutney that I can't get enough of. Thick fried dough and fistful of filling. I'm hungry again just thinking about it even though there's still leftovers sitting in front of me. But those burritos though.. those burritos. Talk about substantial. If I wasn't already into men, I'd propose to the lady who took our order. read more

I'm actually very surprised this place have such high ratings...maybe because people haven't had many authentic Indian food or there's just not many options around. The food was not authentic and tasted very catered to the Western palate. I got the chicken tikka curry bowl and it was very watered down, more creamy than the thick flavorful curries I've had before. The chicken itself also was not very tender, and not many pieces either. You do get a side of the flatbread which was actually good in flavor, but would be better if it was more textured with layers. I do see many people give high reviews for their burritos rather than the curry bowls, so maybe I'll have to give them a try again. read more

Maast Indian - Chicken tikka curry bowl - Indian Near Me - Irvine, California

I eat at Maast Indian every month because I love the food so much! I had been ordering their burritos, but have since branched out to try the munchwrap, their version of a Crunchwrap with an Indian twist, and their parathadilla, parathas with your choice of filling, sauce and cheese. I think the parathadilla might be my favorite. You get two parathas per order and they are very tasty and filling. I usually get chicken as my filling, but the spinach with paneer is now my new fave. You can customize your heat level - from very mild to x hot. I'm a spice wimp so I get medium. My husband likes it spicy and gets his orders (burritos and curries) hot. The curries come with rice and a paratha (which reheats quite nicely). Parking in the lot. read more

One of the best Indian fast food restaurant! You'll meet the owner, Nathan at the counter and his son is the chef. His daughter designed the place. It's a lovely family affair and you can taste the love in their food. Traditional food with modern twist on ordering. You can "build it" by choosing burrito, crunch wrap, parathadilla (quesadilla) or grilled sandwich, then pick your protein, and filling (curry,korma,etc). There are traditional curry bowls like tikka masala, street bites like samosas, masala stir fry rice, Mac and cheese, house salad. We ordered: -Build it: I got a butter chicken burrito. It's a regular tortilla filled with cheese, tomatoes, onion, rice, lettuce, chicken masala. I liked that the tortilla was thin to be able to taste the filling. It was delicious. It was so big that I split 3 meals out of it. -chicken tikka masala curry bowl: Finally a place the loves up to their spice level. We asked for level hot and it was legit hot! Very flavorful with lots of spice. Came with Paratha which is similar to naan but thinner and made with a mix of white and brown flour. -Popadams- crispy lentil crackers -samosas: 3 pieces, fresh, stuffed with masala potato and pea. Came with tamarind chutney. We also bought cilantro chutney. We enjoyed everything we tasted. A second location will be opening in Fullerton. Catering options. Plenty of parking in this lot. It's next door to Rooster and Rice. read more

I tried the popular tandoori chicken burrito and it was deceivingly filling but delicious! I asked for mild spice and it had just the right amount of kick. I was slightly disappointed with the masala chips as they barely filled the bag (see picture). All of this food for $19 was quite expensive but it was a decent try. I only waited maybe 5 minutes for my food and parking was easy. read more

The owner here is super sweet and nice. He saw that I was standing there waiting for my friends and told me to have a seat while waiting even though I hadn't ordered yet. He also asked if I had any questions about the menu which was really considerate of him. This is a very casual place where you can order on the tablet or at the counter. I like that there was a tablet to order from. Parathadilla: 8/10. The paratha used as the quesadilla was so good. I loved the texture of it and how it was simultaneously soft and crispy. I got the chicken which was good, but didn't fit the texture of the paratha. I think the chicken would be really good in a different item, like the crunch wrap. Loaded tots: 7.5/10. I liked the loaded tots but think plain tots were better because all the sauce makes the tots a bit soggy which is expected. Regular tots: 8.5/10. Really good. They did a good job of making it crispy. Overall, would come back here. The prices are very reasonable, the food is good and unique, and the owner is wonderful. Next time, I would try a different curry in a crunch wrap. Parking is super easy. It's a small lot but not a super busy plaza. read more

Food was so delicious. Had to get the curry and rice for a sense of traditionalism. It came with perfectly crispy but fluffy naan. The burrito was my favorite. All the best flavors in a satisfying way to enjoy. Owners were so sweet. They offered us complimentary dessert after finding out it was our first time! Not too busy when I came, plenty of seating. read more

What a fun place to try a new style of Indian food! Ordered takeout. Everything was still great by the time we got home, with the exception of the munchwrap. Came on a weekday after placing an online order, not as busy. What we got: - Butter Chicken Grilled Sandwich (5/5): Really get this you guys! The bread was toasted perfectly and was complemented by the various sauces/chutney with the butter chicken. It may initially seem like a smaller sandwich, but trust me it is not. - Paneer Munchwrap (4/5): Basically an Indian tacobell crunchwrap. Only downside is that the "crunchy" bit was not as crunchy when we got back. In fact, it was a little on the soggy side. - Masala Queso Fries (5/5): All the sauces went so well with the fries. No notes, so good. - Chole Samosa Chat (4/5): Only wished that there was more yogurt because then the ratio of the different flavors was off. - Paratha PIzza (5/5): Got this for our kiddo, but you know what this was also a good snack! I forget how flaky/crispy paratha is. Overall, love what they have to offer and want to try all that they have! read more

Restaurant was clean, portions were small, rice was not included $5 extra, sauce was delicious. Overall, I would say it was a good experience. Customer service was good, food was timely and hot. And naan bread was doughy and delicious. We had the lamb biryani and chicken tikka masala, they gave 7 small chunks of chicken they said that's the total per serving. I did feel like this was a little bit strange but it is what it is. I would give them 3.75* read more

Never had an Indian burrito, but thought it was a great concept, so I stopped by Maast for lunch on Friday and I can't wait to go back! Service was super helpful and friendly, providing lots of recommendations because it was my first visit. Ended up picking the butter chicken and it was absolutely scrumptious, exploding with flavor and saucy goodness. It was almost like a soup dumpling where I was a sucking up the soup juices in that first bite, haha. Ambiance is casual. Can't wait to come back! read more

the food here is absolutely amazing and ive come multiple times and ive been happy with my food every single time. my only issue is the staff unfortunately the first time i came i was sitting at one of their tables for 30 minutes waiting for 2 burritos until i finally went up to the counter at the 35 minute mark to my surprise my food had just been sitting up on the counter for god knows how long since it was already getting cold. Then i decided to order on the app to not have that happen, and to my surprise i got harrassed by 20+ messages my food was ready in a span of 2 minutes while simultaneously receiving just as many notifications on their app which is incredibly distracting while im driving to go pickup food i already paid for, ofcourse im going to pick it up. I adore the food, just not the biggest fan of getting 20+ messages that my foods ready. read more

I was visiting our Irvine office and walked across the street to Maast for lunch with the team. You order first from a buildable menu that includes meat and vegan options. Naan was good even though it wasn't my favorite garlic version. The spinach tofu bowl was really yummy and my team enjoyed the other choices and mango drinks available. Definitely will get lunch there again. Staff is nice, tables are clean and lots of seating inside and outside. read more

Super fun on the inside. I got a chicken 65 burrito with masala fries. Fries were ok but def not the best masala fries I've had before. The chicken 65 burrito was really saucy but i think i should've tried the tandoori or korma. read more

I have been looking forward to the Fullerton location opening. I ordered pick up today and was greeted at the door with my food. Unfortunately when I opened my bag, there were no utensils and no napkins. Difficult to eat a tostada with your hands. I could have overlooked this, however I found the food to be rice heavy, and very dry. I would have thought there would be some sort of sauce on the tostada or sauce on the side. Maybe I just ordered the wrong item‍. But I'm not sure I will be trying this place again. read more

The female co-owner was the FOH today and she was so friendly, welcoming, and helpful with guiding me through the menu and I'm glad I paid a small tip for dining in because she actually brought my order all the way to my table - I thought I was going to pick it up from the counter or something... what an amazing homely feel! ;))) The ambiance inside was very positive and full of admiration for the business and what it sets out to achieve, in bringing Indian cuisine to OC in such a way that people who are less familiar with it may ease into finding their likes and dislikes by trying some really cool fusion foods that are offered alongside a lot of the traditional Indian dishes. I got the Munchwrap with braised lamb in masala sauce, and I really enjoyed the flavors and how healthy it was with little onions and other nice veggies, but the braised lamb itself wasn't as high-quality as the premium lamb I had eaten at Himalayan Delights a week ago, so it was not the star of the show. Next time, I think I'd opt to get chicken as my protein rather than the lamb, and I think the owner was recommending chicken from the get-go anyhow. The taters with queso and Indian sauces were really quite good for taters, and I ended up eating more than I was initially planning to... maybe the fries would be a good pick for next time. Although, in reality, I think next time I'm more inclined to try one of their curries or another of their more traditional Indian dishes... I think they'd probably taste really great!! Overall, Maast Indian is my favorite Indian eatery in Irvine and second favorite so far in OC (after Himalayan Delights)... I can say that Maast Indian is one of the few Indian restaurants I researched on Yelp that I trusted enough to visit, so that should say a lot, maybe!! Overall, a great place for real Indian food with lovely hospitality! read more

We found this restaurant while searching on Yelp for something new near the Irvine Spectrum. Basically, this is an Indian/California fusion restaurant. There were so many interesting looking choices on the menu that we kind of went overboard...! The two of us ordered mango lassis, samosas (3 per order), a lamb kheema "Munchwrap," butter chicken, and masala queso fries (french fries smothered in masala sauce, queso sauce, cilantro, and tamarind chutney). Everything we ordered was super delicious. EVERYTHING! (We didn't know what to expect with the masala queso fries, but they were both delicious and addictive.) To seal the deal, the price of our gorge-fest was about half of what fancier Indian restaurants charge for a dinner for two! We will definitely come back again and try even more of the many unique and interesting items on the menu at this very unique restaurant! read more

got the chicken tikka munchwrap (fun twist on a crunchwrap, although the curry does make it a bit soggy so eat it quick!), samosa chaat (fav appetizer), and pistachio saffron cheesecake which wasn't too sweet but was just okay- more like a trifle/pudding than a cheesecake texture. owners are super friendly, food comes out quick, and inside is kept very clean. read more

Awesome food and awesome people working there. Very chill atmosphere, forgot my wallet panicked called them and they were nice enough to get it for me and hold till I got there. 10/10 place. read more

This is the place to go for spicy comfort food. They took a grilled cheese and made it 10x better with the right cheese: spice ratio. They took some fries and added cheese and chutney for the ultimate guilty pleasure. They took a burrito and made it out-of-this-world crazy good with tikka masala sauce. Come here on an empty stomach! You will also have food for a couple days, the portions are generous. The vibe was very casual with soothing music in the background. Even though the ordering was automated, the waitstaff that brought our or food were friendly and checked on us. I would definitely revisit when I need Indian food in OC. read more

I used to work in the area and drove up to get lunch from the location next-door, but saw this location and had to have two lunches today. It was easy to order from the digital kiosk in the entrance which I think most people were doing. I opted for the korma curry chicken, which came with rice and a side of flatbread(that's what they called it). I was able to provide my cell phone number and receive a text from my order was ready. Inside is plenty of seating and it was super clean. I walked to the counter to get my order and was greeted by one of the female employees perhaps the manager who is very nice and helpful And I hope that I enjoyed my meal. When I got to my location, my meal is hot and well packed. It tasted outstanding. The rice was delicious as was the korma curry, which had plenty of flavor. Normally, I am a spicy kind of girl but was battling an illness so I opted for mild spice, which still tasted delicious but next time I probably will level up a little hotter. Theflat bread was also delicious. Plenty of parking out front but it can't get busy during peak hours such as early in the morning for coffee at the 7-Eleven etc., as well as lunchtime with all the business in the area. I'm definitely coming back to try some of the other items. This is my first time here. I really like this quick service type of Indian food very reasonably priced. read more

My wife and I come here regularly and the food is always amazing the customer service is even better. The owner is very kindhearted and friendly.

This is in a chill spot right next to spectrum and the outside eating makes it very convenient if you have a pup. read more

First time trying this place, ordered the butter chicken burrito and it's perfect! Good flavor, nice portions, and the service is really good. The only problem is now I won't be able to try anything else on the menu because it was so good! read more

I was recommended this place by one of my Indian clients, so I had to try it. The order was kind of large and the most I've ever paid for Indian, but it was worth it. It was $60 for me and my partner, and I was pretty stuffed and had to take most of it to-go. The employee made sure to give us a to-go menu and a bag before we left. This is one of those places you have to return to, so you can try their entire menu. The mac and cheese sounded promising, but the flavor was a little unfitting. I think a different curry would have gone better with it. I loved the lamb curry and will be back to have it again in the near future! read more

Maast Indian is serving up some delicious modern Indian fusion food! This spot is located in a plaza with other food spots and a good amount of parking spots.

You can customize a curry bowl, burrito, grilled sandwich, parathadilla (paratha quesadilla), or munchwrap (crunch wrap). We got a butter chicken burrito, butter chicken parathadilla, a tandoori chicken munchwrap, and a mango lassi. The portions were so generous and everything was super flavorful and delicious!

I had been wanting to check out this place for a while. Mexican/Indian fusion just sounded like the most random yet amazing coupling ever. The restaurant is located in a small business area strip with a 7-Eleven. I found parking with no problem. I arrived around 2pm so place was pretty empty except for two other customers. It is not very big inside but there was plenty of seating at that time, also it looked very clean and we'll organized with simple yet pretty decor. We were greeted by a gentleman possibly the owner? who handed us a menu and told us to order at the counter when ready. The menu had alot of tasty options and I settled on a Munchwrap with chicken and a tandoori sauce , it's basically their version of a Taco Bell Crunchwrap. It was just as good as I hoped it would be crispy flour tortilla with a crunchy inside filled with delicious flavorful chicken , lettuce and sauce of your choice. We also ordered a side of their tots and samosas and they did not disappoint, so flavorful hot and crispy. To drink we had the Mango Lassi and Chai drink both were good but the Mango Lassi was delicious. So if your having trouble deciding between Indian and Mexican why not do both!! ;) read more

Okay Maast, I have a complaint to get out of the way before I get to the review. Where have you been all my life? Took me all of my idk, 30 years on the planet to finally find you? I need to file some paperwork or something... It's been no less than a year that my friends have been recommending to me "Indian nachos" which I thought at first was a joke but ended up being not only being real, but simply amazing. Headed over to Maast after a visit to Bass Pro Shops across the street and was pleasantly surprised. Loved the simple and cozy shop and the people inside. The lady at the counter was super friendly and recommended the nachos and samosas. No argument from us, we ordered them right up. By the way, it was noted that the chips were more flavorful on the homemade ones and not the tortilla chip version. Good amount of crunch, with the sauces on top filling up your mouth with all kinds of blended flavors of buttery goodness. Samosas were balances very well with the outer crispiness with the potato filling. Dipping them in the red sauce with what I think was tamarind was yet another experience of flavor. This is what I think Maast is about for me, everything there is just so rich and tasty and everything goes together. We also ended up getting the parathdilla which I had no idea what it was. Kinda a cross between a quesadilla and gordita? Not sure how to describe it, I am sure I am not doing it justice. It was another delicious dish. Overall I will absolutely, ABSOLUTELY be back. Prices are fair, service and food are great. Five stars. No question about it. Worth it. read more

I got take-out from Maast Indian for a girl's night and the food was amazing. Comfort food in a nutshell. It's indulgent for sure, but worth it. This place is perfect for a low-key night out or to grab food from for a cozy night in. You absolutely have to get the mac & cheese and one of the grilled sandwiches. The mac & cheese was creamy and well-spiced, while the sandwich was grilled to buttery perfection and stuffed. I'm a huge fan of Indo-Western fusion food and was happy with the balance of flavors. I suggest upgrading your side of masala fries, it made allll the difference. Absolutely delicious. Big fan. And now one of my go-to spots in OC! read more

Bumping to five stars. Maast really came through for a large catering event we were hosting at the office for about 50 people. Their ordering process, transparent pricing and packaging and pick up on the day was immaculate. Throughout the process, they were so easy to reach and provided me lots of recommendations on how to make the menu work for 50 people and the budget. The food was a hit at our event. We ordered samosas, loaded tater tots, and tandoori paneer and chicken sandwiches, and mango lassi. Everything was really good and people were clamoring to take leftovers home. Thank you to the entire team !! read more
