    Channa Masala (with rice) and Sag Paneer (with rice)
    Tagan L.

    I love Masala 2! I've been back several times, and it's consistently delicious. The dal, samosas, and masala dishes are all excellent. I really appreciate that you can choose your spice level -- from mild to very spicy -- which makes it easy to get exactly what you like. Overall, it's one of the better Indian restaurants in the Valley and definitely worth the trip.

    Chicken Tikka Masala. (with rice)
    Steve S.

    After trying the amazing chicken tikka masala last time, I decided to pop in and try something new. When I saw the owner pulling out gorgeous looking chicken pieces on a skewer out the tandoor, I knew I had to try it. As a result, absolutely the best Chicken Tandoori I've ever had. The owner told me that he has his own secret recipe and does not deviate from it. The chicken came out juicy with an unbelievable char, color and taste from the marinade. Each bite of the chicken was full of flavor and super special. The chicken was served on the bed of Indian rice, which absorbed some of the marinade by the time I got home. That buttery rice with a hint of savory flavor notes from the tandoori chicken, was a perfect side, as it worked in harmony with the intense delicious flavor of the chicken itself. As I finished eating it, it left me craving more and that's always a good sign. While I took my order to go, I did contemplate on just eating there. The spot itself is small with around 6 tables, but is very cozy and very welcoming. All the tables were clean, the air circulation was proper and the wall art was on point. Definitely will be back!

    Chicken Saag

    Masala 2 is a little homey Indian restaurant featuring a large menu with a lot of the main staples and their variations. It just opened up a couple months ago as of this writing. I wasn't expecting too much but I was definitely impressed. The inside is quaint with a few tables with an open kitchen view. It seems like a suitable joint for takeout especially. I did a take out order recently and the experience was easy; I had ordered online via Yelp/GrubHub. The gentleman was friendly and answered a question I had with kindness. The order was on time as noted, and everything was packed up nicely. They have a shared parking lot with other businesses and the parking lot has a good amount of spaces, otherwise there is also street parking available. The menu is quite large with a bit of everything: appetizers, soups and salads, various entrees (chicken, lamb, seafood, vegetables), and desserts and beverages. A lot of the entrees come with rice and most items have a choice of spice level to choose. Portions are good and most items can be shared I feel. Chicken Tikka - Boneless white meat marinated with herbs and spices. I did a medium level of spice which was fine and had a slight little kick. Chicken was tender and the rice it came with was fine. Chicken Saag - Cooked with spinach and herbs. The saag was very flavorful and it was very herbaceous and included tomatoes and green bell pepper. I was able to taste some ginger as well which is a typical component in saags. The medium level was good for me. Garlic Naan - Four pieces. Naan topped with garlic, cilantro. Prices are great and portions are generous. The hours here so far are M-Sun from 3:00pm to 3:00am. So a very late lunch, early dinner, dinner and late night eats is what this is. Goodbye late night fast food and hello late night Indian!

    I have to say this is the best Indian food I've had in years!! The owner is very nice! We dinned in which I always preferred but the place is very quaint with only a few tables. The garlic basil naan is a must!! We had chicken vindaloo, chicken tandoori, chicken Masala. Beef samosas is a must too. I'm sure everything is great! Super authentic flavor and so tasty!

This eatery has been around for a while, been always consistent in its high quality and therefore become a magnet for that hungry craving and adventurous foodie. Of the handful of Sri Lankan establishments in the SFV and its vicinities, Apey Kade provides the largest selection of staples, main dishes and those addicting appetizers called "short eats". Be it the fish roll (also called a Chinese roll), the cutlet, the patties, masala vadai, the scotch egg or the bacon & egg pastry, to name a few, everything is good here. For the mains, they have meals for string hoppers, hoppers, godamba rotis, pol roti and more. Let us not forget the ubiquitous rice and curry, the banana leaf rice packets and the lumprais. Important to note, for those that question it, Sri Lankan curries have a very different aroma, flavor and taste profile than food from any other country. The offerings here, are fresh and cooked with high quality Sri Lankan spices and ingredients. The pol (coconut) sambol is a must, it is intoxicating. Apey Kade is helmed by a delightful husband (Lalith) and wife (Niza) team, who are the culinary trifecta - owners, chefs and servers, at this small and cozy restaurant. Their humor, warmth and Sri Lankan hospitality, enhances the culinary dining (or to go) experience, that makes you desire to come back here, again and again.

    We have been to this restaurant 3 times. The first time was 15 months ago on our way back from a…read moreday of whale watching with our 14 year old twin granddaughters. I told them to order plenty of food, since we'd worked up an appetite on the boat, and we would take home the leftovers. They ordered a lot - appetizers, curries and dosas - and there were barely any leftovers. It was late and the restaurant was pretty empty, so we got lots of service attention. Everything was delicious. Because we enjoyed our first time here so much, my husband and I came back about a month later on a weekday for an early lunch right as they were supposed to open. There didn't seem to be anyone actually working the seating area; a person came out eventually and told us that someone would take our order soon. It was quite a while before anyone came, the food took a long time to be served, and the food wasn't as good as I remembered. Very disappointing, which is why I'm giving 4 stars, not 5. Yesterday, driving back from Ojai on the 101 at lunchtime, we decided to give the restaurant another try. The service was very prompt and friendly and the food was very good. We ordered a vegetarian thali and an onion rava masala dosa to share between the two of us. The thali gave us a chance to have a sample of lots of their dishes. The dosa was awesomely crunchy, with large portions of sambar and several chutneys. We were stuffed before we finished our meal. Our total bill was only $30, plus tax and tip. We will definitely come back again, hopefully with a group of friends so we can order a lot of dishes and share. I have to assume that our one disappointing lunch was just a bad day - maybe their staff was out sick or something. But two of our three meals here were great and I look forward to eating that dosa again! We would come here more often, but we live half an hour away.

They also stock savory snacks like namkeen and bhujia, making it a great place to pick up treats to take home. One thing that makes this place special is the hospitality. On weekends, they'll sometimes put out trays of sweets for customers to enjoy, and occasionally staff walk around offering fresh jalebis. It's a small touch, but it adds to the warm, welcoming atmosphere. It can get busy around weekend lunch, but it's well worth the wait.
