Can't comment on the dining in experience, but for delivery this place gets five stars for me. After moving to the neighborhood, this has been my go-to delivery spot. Food always arrives piping hot and prompt. Naan is always fluffy and fresh. Really haven't had anything I haven't liked - chicken tikka masala and lamb vindaloo are really good. The dinner combo or lunch special are excellent values for the amount of food you get. I really like their mulligatawny soup too - very filling, hearty, and good for cold days. An added bonus for ordering delivery here is that every single delivery person who drops by seems extra friendly. I mean, I never expect it - but it actually is quite nice and makes me want to stay loyal to them haha. Anyhow, if you need a good affordable go-to Indian spot in the neighborhood Masala Grill is definitely not a bad choice. One of these days I'll make it over there and dine-in (apparently BYOB!). read more

When I called to check on my order, providing my name and number, the employees explicitly & deliberately assured me my order was ready. After 20 minutes of walking, the counter said the order was canceled, so I spent 40 minutes walking and ended up starving. Thanks for nothing, literally. read more

Omg.... Simply put this was awful....This was a online order...I ordered three things: Veg Samosa, Cheese Naan and Paneer Tikka Masala. 1. Vegetable Samosas came in a grease soaked bag, was mostly ALL potato, where were the "mixed vegetables "?!?!?!? I had to drown them in sauce to get some sort of flavor.. 2. The PaneerTikka Masala: a few chunks of Paneer swimming in the sauce, again absolutely tasteless. Cheese Naan was damp around the edges....... I mean seriously? I actually could not eat it, had to throw $30 worth of food away....that hurt, I had no choice. I've have visited this place in person for takeout and the food was decent but I'm scarred by this experience sooooo I'm done with this Masala Grill.... read more

[READ THIS BEFORE ORDERING ] I don't usually write reviews on any restaurants. This restaurant is a Scam. I ordered chicken biryani and they sent me chicken curry mixed in the rice . This is absolutely ridiculous. The pictures they posted on seamless are fake. This restaurant must be avoided. I wish there is no star option for these kind of restaurants LOL read more

I order my food to go and they were really nice. They gave me some rice pudding as I waited and it was very tasty! Highly recommend the food has so much flavor and I really enjoyed it. read more

Got my order an hour late, so I was pretty disappointed. The paneer tikka masala was made too sweet and not enough Indian spices. However I like the chutney and the portion size. They gave me a generous number of paneer cubes (~20pcs). I was so full after finishing the dish. But I won't come back since the taste was average and that it took so long to receive my order. Should have listened to the reviews on Yelp. read more

Masala Grill - Paneer tikka masala - Indian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The food at this place is below standard and the service was very slow even though we were the only people in restaurant. The paneer tikka masala was barely edible, malai kofta was sweet and the kofta terrible, chana masala had no taste. None of the food had any flavor or masala. The saving grace was the naan. Mango lassi was good. read more

Great, amazing food but service is sub par. Although to give a fair review, the restaurant gave a bread like item that was on the house. Sub par service reasons: 1) automatic 18% service fee. Then, on the receipt there was an additional line for more tips. I had to ask for clarification about that. 2) didn't gave us a second bowl of rice despite ordering two dishes that came with rice. Granted, there were not enough room for an extra bowl of rice on a two person table. We mistakenly believed the two dishes of rice were combined I'll come back for food only; no take-out, no dining in. read more

First, I loveee Indian food and have tried out a few places in the area- Ordered tikka masala and garlic naan bread with samosa for appetizer. It was SO GOOD & service was very friendly and fast too! Thank you! Not sure why past reviews are poor, give it a go! Will definitely come back read more

I had Pani puri which was decent but not perfect. Service was also decent and the ambience was very nice for a casual meal.

Warning to stay away! Management or staff must have changed. So disappointing because we used to be regulars here since it opened but changes must have happened because our recent order tasted old and inedible. --The chicken tikka masala was way overcooked and unsafe. It was dry cardboard-like chicken pieces, and some tasted rancid and old so we had to throw it away. We tried to contact the takeout app to tell the restaurant but our request/comment was declined. --The saag paneer was very underseasoned, the yellow lentil dal barely had any lentils in it. I won't be ordering from them again unfortunately. It seems I'm not the only one given the reviews in the last few months. read more

Ordered from here...food took two hours to get delivered. Called the restaurant multiple times and they wouldn't answer or they would put me on hold. It was a Tuesday night not Friday night. When the chicken curry finally arrived it was cold and pretty terrible. Don't waste your time ordering from here. There are better faster options in the neighborhood read more

Yummy yummy yummy yummy. The Paneer Makhani is the best food I have ever eaten in my life, and I don't say that lightly. The samosas were good, but nothing exceptional. The naan was great- warm, soft, and crispy. They gave so many sauce options and they were all mouthwatering. read more

This place has gone downhill in my opinion. I was thrilled when they opened and was a regular customer. I no longer find their food to be delicious with vivid flavors. When I was there the other night, the restaurant was empty - they had no customers at 8PM on a Thursday night. The staff was completely inattentive so I abandoned ship. As a general rule, I think if a restaurant has no customers, you probably should avoid it. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Picked up three can't fail dishes standard for Indian/pakistani food. The meat (lamb and chicken) was wooded. The vegetables were soggy. The rice was sprinkled with saffron scent to mask the fact that it was undercooked. We literally threw out a $50 take out order and now we're starving. Go elsewhere. read more

This place is awesome! Chill atmosphere, clean tables, really nice staff, and delicious food. I've actually never had Indian food before this meal so this was a fantastic first try. My friend and I each ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, shared an order of the Naan bread (regular, not garlic) and I added the spring rolls (not sure what the official name of this was). The rolls came hot and were super tasty. I'm a fan of spring rolls from every cuisine that offers them, and I really enjoyed the Indian twist. I loved the Naan bread (I am a major bread enthusiast) and it paired perfectly with the Masala. Our server (I imagine he might be the manager or owner?) was attentive, welcoming and sincerely friendly. He kept my water filled (I drank a looootttt), was very willing to answer questions and checked in throughout the meal. I haven't seen my friend in about 8 months so we had plenty to talk about, and it wasn't too busy this evening so we sat at our table for a while - maybe 1.5 hours. We felt welcome and at ease the entire time. The meal was also very well-priced. For the appetizer, 2 entrees and 1 side to share, it came out to about $35 total before tips. I'm super full and my friend took her leftovers to go. I have no complaints whatsoever. Thanks for a great experience! read more

Ok first impression: no people but pretty tables. Wanted to sit on the table for four but then the waiter who wear glasses and have a bowl hair cut and mustache. Me: "I would like to sit at the four person table if we could since there's no one here" Waiter: "no sorry you can't. Just sit in the for two." Me: "why?" Waiter: "it's too expensive to sit in a table for four" Me: "what the hell do you mean by that" And then I told him it's ok I can just yelp my experience then he said no no go ahead and sit on the four table and he threw the napkin on my plate because it was on the glass on my plate. Will update soon. read more

I've ordered in from here a few times. They're always on time and the food is always hot, fresh and tasty. My Indian food go-to is vegetable jalfrezie and their's is pretty good. Not the best I've ever had (the sauce is just a little oily for me) but solid and well worth the price. Also, they don't carry brown rice-which makes me sad-but the basmati rice is good. I definitely recommend the mango lassi-such a great summer treat! So far, this is my place for Indian in this hood. Still keeping an eye out though. read more

Ordered takeout from here for the first time and got the Dinner for 2 combination (2 curries, appetizer, soup and 2 naan breads). Food very is excellent, substantial portions and comes with all the traditional sauces. What I liked about the Chicken Tikka with smaller but more chunks of chicken and the garlic curry lamb had a ton of garlic (as the name implies) and also smaller but more and extremely tender pieces of lamb. This is a strong contender for best Indian restaurant in the Heights/Cobble/Boerum hill neighborhoods. Look forward to ordering from here again! read more

I tried chicken tikka masala and lamb biryani it was very tasty. Pretty reasonable prices, nice service. I will definitely come back again. read more

I ended up here because the seafood restaurant was closed. It's a clean nicely decorated restaurant. We were seated immediately and got water and the crisps. But this place took 27 minutes to serve us our entree and we were going to walk out until the food came in a Knick of time. I had lamb Bhoti with basmati rice and garlic naan. The lamb was tasty but could have used some salt, there was none in the table. There was no gravy with this meat so I had dry rice or had to mix the meat and ask for tamarind sauce. The bill was $35 and change. Was it worth it? Not really, and I wouldn't go back though. read more

Masala Grill - Lamb bhoti, garlic naan, basmati rice- dry with no gravy. - Indian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've been waiting a long time for a good Indian place to open up near me in Boerum Hill. This one's just a 5-minute walk AND it's on Seamless so of course, I placed an order for pickup. They have lunch specials from noon to 4, which is a very generous window. They have lunch specials for multiple people or lunch boxes for one person (though the portions are large). I ordered the lamb curry lunch box, which came with a side of chana shaag (spinach/chickpeas), basmati rice, a gigantic naan bread, and a ton of sauces (including mango chutney, red onions, and a green hot sauce. The curry had a nice spice to it, and a lot of meat stuffed into a tiny container. The naan was incredibly fluffy. The chana shaag was creamy, with a great textural mix with the chickpeas. Only complaint was that they left the star anise in, which is a terrible surprise to bite into. Did I already mention that it was a LOT of food? Definitely more of a dinner box. Or lunch box fit for two. All for about $12 (including tax)! read more

I'm sorry to leave a bad review but enough is enough. The food is absolutely delicious but the service is getting pretty bad lately. They give me the wrong food, which is not a big deal but it shows their lack of attention. The thing is, we were only 3 tables and they still wouldn't pay attention. Each dish is served with rice, but they didn't want to give each person their bowl. They said we have to finish one bowl first. Okay, at least it'll be warm. I try to get the waiter's attention to get the next bowl of rice, and he keeps ignoring me because he keeps staring at his phone. No refill on drinks, he never comes to the table to check on us, I keep calling him and he doesn't even notice me. It's not the first or second time though. They're constantly on their phones and don't pay attention. I understand if they're bored and they're entertaining themselves, but come on. You charge your own tip, at least don't make me hate leave you a tip. You guys used to be so friendly and attentive. I'm not asking you to be next to me, but please pay attention. read more

Awesome Indian Restaurant!! Very comfy and good vibe. Next door is a liquor store so you can buy a wine bottle first and then have dinner, ask the waiter if you can drink your bottle inside the restaurant... It's allowed. The food? Best Indian Flavors I ever tried... ENJOY AND BUEN PROVECHO. Mariel read more

- Adequate, although not the best massaman curry (My go to Indian dish) - But, the lunch specials are good and very filling - Samosas are HUGE read more

Pretty good Indian food! We enjoyed the tandoori chicken tikka as well as the chicken Tikka masala curry. We also split samosas but found it to be ehh...the green sauce is good tho. Service was okay. It could have been better. We asked for no rice and if they can substitute it with at least plain naan but the guy said no...also did not like that I had to wait and keep asking for the water to be filled..why couldn't they just leave the pitcher of water on the table? I don't know if we'll be back again but if we are in the area again and craving some Indian food then yes we will deff come! read more

I made an order over 40 minutes before closing to be delivered. I was waiting for my order watching the tracking. Over an hour and 30 minutes later it said that i should call customer service and see what's going on. By now the restaurant was closed (they close at 11 pm and i ordered at 10:20 pm) No communication on to why my order wasn't fulfilled. Grub hub just cancelled it after trying to call the restaurant and said sorry. Now it's midnight, everything is closed and I never got my food. Very hungry and disappointed. Won't be using yelp delivery again. *Even if the restaurant was closed today it was labeled as open on here and let me process my order. read more

We ordered from Masala Grill as our special quarantine treat and it was delicious!! We will absolutely be ordering from here again. They did not not have one of our requested appetizers, so they gave me a ring and asked what I would like to substitute instead--the man was incredibly patient with me as I looked up the menu again to figure out our other options. Great service. While my lassi didn't make it in the delivery and one of our garlic naans was subbed for an alternate (which ended up being super tasty), everything else came and was perfectly cooked and warm, so no real complaints there. Everything tasted delicious and all meat was tender and cooked to perfection. 10/10!! read more

The chicken is bone dry and they lie about the 25% lunch discount even after I asked them twice.

- Went here on a Saturday night and surprisingly was empty. The food here must be cooked to order because it took about 25 minutes to get our food, hence the reason why they ask if we wanted an appetizer. I ordered the tandoori chicken with Roti and garlic naan. Good food, affordable prices and okay service. read more

Have eaten here 30+ times in 3 years of being here. They're always happy to see us. Expect the complimentary papadan (the Indian version of chips and salsa), and an occasional complimentary kheer pudding for dessert. Their service is good, but the food is what steals the show for me. Some menu items are admittedly a big weaker (the biryani was slightly disappointing the one time I got it) but the staples can't be beat anywhere else in the city, including the uber expensive places like Sapphire in Manhattan. My favorites are the Mahkni, the Mushroom Saag. Garlic Naan is above average. Free rice with each entree. You will not regret coming here! Don't listen to the haters. read more

I'd give 0 stars if I can to the terrible management here. My child accidentally ordered at the incorrect location. In less than 5 mins after placing the order I called to canceled. They kept telling me to call back and hung up on me several times. After 10 times if trying to call them I gave up. They called me about an hour later to pick up the food, I explained the situation once again. Apparently when they called me back the person was in a quite place and I didn't hear any loud noises. He kept yelling at me saying who's going to pay for the food. You're doing a TERRIBLE job here management. If you picked up the phone the first time we wouldn't have this issue. read more

The food was excellent!! Really fresh, super flavorful, nicely presented and good portions. We were a group of 6 and despite the very small space, we were easily accommodated, but we arrived for lunch shortly after opening, so I'd suggest calling ahead if your group is larger than 4. We had multiple dishes but the standouts were the Lamb Bhoti omg it was....i can't even find words....it was just crazy good!! So well seasoned and grilled kabob style, this is a must have. The Shrimp Basmati rice was excellent; the fresh sliced cucumbers placed on the side are the perfect cool crisp compliment to this flavorful and hearty rice dish. Extra credit for those wonderfully herbaceous crackers they give you to snack on while you wait for your meal. Theyre complementary and come with several different sauces, of which the tamarind was my favorite! I could never stop eating those crackers and dip; they were such a delicious surprise!! They get a minus for the iced tea; I was expecting something that represented the food, something full of spices/flavor, but it was just plain old powdered iced tea. And the Mango Lassi was more like a piña colada, so beware it will not quench your thirst and will make you full. But this place is about the food! And there's this chicken dish that's served on a sizzling cast iron plate that I MUST have next time!!! read more

Was craving Indian food nearby me and this was the closest one. Very kind staff and great customer service. Went during a non busy time but had alot of take out orders as Uber/DoorDash people kept picking up food. They give a complimentary appetizer that I don't remember the name of but was good along with 3 different sauces. My favourite is the green sauce. It would go so well with a samosa or pakora which I've got to try next time. I wanted butter chicken and gave a good portion. Not too much not too little just right. It was okay. It wasn't horrible but I have had better. Although I finished it all. I guess everyone makes butter chicken in a different way or a preference . I was craving to drink mango lassi and was so so so good. I've never had it with whip cream before but didn't mind. I would defiantly go back again and try their samosa and pakora. Environment was clean, friendly, and spacious. Great! read more

I called Masala Grill just 10 min before they closed to place a large order for the following day. They were so accommodating and said they would make sure the food was delivered before their open of operations for the day. The food arrived early the next day, Imran was incredibly generous and helpful with the delivery. I can't say more, it really felt like a mom and pop shop who goes the extra mile. About 30 min after delivery, they called to ask if everything was OK. It sure was. The food was warm and tasty- Thank you, Masala Grill! read more

I have ordered through grubhub around three or four times from Masala, and each time I do, I ask myself why? The service just keeps getting worse and now the food itself has gone down with it. Last nights order was supposed to take an hour... so much for "ASAP Delivery". An hour later I got notification that my order was out for delivery, however waited another 40 minutes for it to get there. That would have been okay, if the food was hot... warm would have been good too, but it was not. Cold food in greasy paper bags. And my favorite dish, grilled vegetables (parni tikka)... no vegtables! Try if you must, the food is good... don't order through grubhub... takes forever, and don't go to close to closing... that's a different story for another day! As for me, my last time ordering from Masala Grill. read more

Ordered carry out. That do not know what Biryani is, it was awful Nothing like real biryani it smelt like old Chinese rice. The Karachi masala is disgusting..... Mango lassi was decent Garlic naan was decent too minus the burnt edges. Delivery driver was nice and courteous and was earlier then promised. I will never order from here again. I hope management gets it together read more

Doesn't look like much when you pass by but I went there with a group for dinner on a Thursday. Omg! Great food! All the seafood curries are delicious! The chicken lolly pops are out of this world! The bread and tandoori were amazing. The restaurant was quiet and clean and the servers were kind and thoughtful. We even got a complementary rice pudding dessert! If you're looking for a good Indian food down by the Barclays Center this is the place to go! read more

Quality of service and food has taken a huge step downward in recent months, unfortunately. Delivery took 90 minutes to reach me, and when it finally arrived, the order was incorrect (this despite my having ordered online). Food quality has really deteriorated -- ordered chicken tikka masala that was bathed in oil. And, more distressingly, I found a hair in my eggplant appetizer. When I called the restaurant and asked to speak to the manager, he was stand-offish and belligerent on the phone. And then he hung up on me because he was too busy with other orders. Lesson learned. Never ordering from here again. read more
