SO DELICIOUS! Everything we ordered was tasted fresh and done with lots of care. I had the saag paneer and it was the most delicious I ever had. Also had a dosa, so crispy on the outside and the stuffing was so flavorful. We also had a mango lassi, a perfect addition to the meal. The food was spicy and so tasty. I think the fact that its a vegetarian place means they focus on the freshness of the vegetables and all the food really shines read more

Great Indian spot with nice staff, service, and ambiance. The mango lassi was so good and refreshing. The lasooni gobi is a must have appetizer. The malai kofta was very rich, creamy and delicious, first time trying this and highly recommend. My least favorite was the dahi puri, it was too spicy for me. For dessert, I had the gulab jamun, these mini donuts were delightful. I would definitely go back! read more

Its among the best, its very hard to find 100% vegetarian places, this one does it with Vegan, and Gluten options. Dosa is not greasy like at some places. I would give 5 stars, if they tone down the hot chilli spice level, and provide salt, pepper, and chilli shakers on the table for those who love extra hot. They need to move into a bigger place and have more knowledgeable servers. When we say mild, we mean little amount of hot chilli peppers in any form. They need to make everything mild and add hot chilli peppers for those who want it, its easy to add than to take out, which is impossible once added. Also they need to consider adding more healthy food made with beans, legumes, quinoa, protein rich food, leafy veggies, with very little to no oil, type of food you can eat everyday, without guilt. read more

This is the best Indian food I've ever had and if I lived closer I would go back to try everything on the menu! We got an assortment of options, and everything was amazing!!!! I don't know how they make so many unique and flavorful all stars of a dish in the tiny place. The lasooni Gobi is my favorite food I've ever had in my entire life. read more

Masala Kraft is as close to a home-cooked Indian vegetarian meal with affordable prices as you can get in the suburbs. The appetizers and sandwiches remind you of homemade guilty pleasure Indian snack foods you would eat growing up. Even the fact they have thalis for a great deal makes the experience all the more comforting. You can get North Indian, South Indian, and everything in between. The last time I went I enjoyed the crispness of the chilli cheese toast! We always come back when we need reliable, affordable Indian food and don't feel like cooking. read more

The food is full of flavor and never disappoints. I recommend the chocolate ice cream it comes with chia and other things and it delicious. Even if you are full the portion is good for 2 to share and is very light. I had the Chana and my bf had the aloo really great dishes. When we arrived the ambiance was very quiet and calm, but then it got a-little busier closer to 6:30-7pm. The service was different since the owner was not there (less check ins), but still really good. read more

Masala Kraft is the BEST Indian restaurant I know. I adore their paneer paired with their bhattura. Their staff is so nice and they are so on top of everything! Masala Kraft has such a cosy vibe, I love this restaurant so much! 5 stars, and I definitely recommend! read more

Masala Kraft Cafe - After - The Paneer - Indian Near Me - Hartsdale, New York

This is a cosy eatery offering exclusively vegetarian cuisine. Peak periods can get busy. Restaurant's preference is for payment in cash. The vegetarian options are interesting and varied, featuring many items not regularly found on Indian menus around here. Food is fresh and tasty and the flavors are culturally authentic with reasonable levels of heat and spice. Start with the Masala Fries. Sprinkled with a delicious blend of herbs and spices, they are aromatic and extremely moreish. My favorite order has to be their paper thin rice and lentil crepes. I recommend the Plain Dosa or the Masala Dosa, the latter is filled with spiced potatoes and onions. Each order is freshly prepared and served with the ubiquitous sambhar curry and freshly grated coconut chutney, which are the perfect foils to these crispy crepes. Aloo Puri, a dish of potatoes and pea curry served with two puris, is also very good. Love the chewy texture of the deep fried bread with the savory and aromatic flavors of curry. This is the place to sample Thali, a traditional assortment of Indian dishes on a platter. Check out the several options on offer, each is a sumptuous meal in itself. Last but not least, you must try their Masala Chai. Theirs is one of the best I've tasted and they offer, on the side, the classic jaggery as a sweetener. It's the perfect warm up beverage for cold chilly days. read more

Friday night -walked in for a table for two! Service is polite in this small cafe with a nice variety of Indian food from different regions.

We have been ordering chole bhatura from this local vegetarian Indian restaurant for a while. It brings back all the feelings of homemade goodness. Had the pleasure of picking up more take-out this evening and met the lovely Sonia who had me try their delicious vegan mango lassi (no white sugar either)! The food is always warm and fresh. We will be returning to dine-in to try their Hakka noodles and chili paneer soon! Love that they gave vegan and fusion choices. They also have an assortment of desserts like ladoo and Indian drinks like limca. Staff is friendly and the place is clean and prepared with safety measures. Please support your local businesses! read more

Really good vegetarian and kosher Indian spot in the area. From what I understand, many of the dishes are considered Indian Street food, but they also have the staple curries. I personally love the Samosa Chat. Its a Samosa with chickpeas, and sauces. It's so yum. Their vegetarian Thali - which a plate with bread and different vegetables and lentils is also a go to for me. read more

This is my new favorite spot whenever I am in the mood to get a taste for desi vegetarian street food ! They are not only freshly prepared, but also every spice in authentically on point. Usually you may not find a spot to sit if you come on a busy evening , but I took my family there for a Monday brunch and had a fantastic culinary experience. Masalkraft is a good choice of a name for them because they have turned street food into a delectable Kraft. I even took "take out" Kati rolls and falafel wraps for my parents who now wish to come here in person also . Anyway here are some of our pics . Highly recommend! read more

This is the second time I've been to Masala Kraft, and while it pains me to give only 3 stars, it's maddening that a place with such potential has failed twice. First off, the food is excellent. High quality, well balanced flavors, and dishes harder to find in average Indian restaurants, including a wide variety of chaat (street snacks). Unfortunately, the service is dreadful and the kitchen and waitstaff simply don't know how to get it together so people get their food together or in a timely manner. Last time, my tea was forgotten for 45 minutes while my husband got his lassi right away. I asked multiple times and it still took forever. This time, with my mother in law, her lassi was delivered but my husband's forgotten, then my tea delivered 20 minutes later, followed by his lassi 10 minutes after that. When we came in 3 tables were occupied, but newcomers coming in were served their food way before ours. My mother in law's chaat came out but the server didn't know what it was and confused me by saying it was the dahi puri (which comes in a little shell) and putting it in front of me. My puri came out 15 minutes after her chaat, and at the same time as my husband's dosa. My mother in law and I then waited another 30 minutes for our thalis, which only came when I stood up and said we would leave if we didn't get our food soon. It had been a full hour at that point and others had come, eaten and left. When we got our thalis, my husband had finished his dosa, the rice on the thali tray was stone cold, dal was hot, and we were out of water but couldn't get the waiter to give us more. The food remains very tasty when it's fresh from the kitchen, though I skipped the cold rice. The service is chaos as is the kitchen firing order. I really wish they could get it together but will have to have a hard think about if pani puri is worth the risk of not being fed. Damned shame. read more

Excellent vegetarian Indian food, with a slight variation on some themes from what you might be accustomed to. It's generally healthier and less greasy than a lot of other Indian places. I really enjoy getting takeout from here on my way home from work, and everyone in the family always enjoys the food. read more

Masala Kraft is hands down the best Indian restaurant. Their food is authentic, and spans multiple regions of India. It is made with top quality ingredients, and never oily or over spiced. It's all vegetarian and almost anything can be made vegan. I've also brought meat-lovers who loved it and returned on their own for more! I have so many favorites (sev puri, samosa chaat, lasooni gobi, pani puri, channa bhatura, chili tofu, carrot/beet halwa....) and if you are unsure what to order the staff is extremely helpful. Sonia is a gem. The decor is cozy with pretty details and artwork. If you go during peak hours and have to wait, it's worth it! read more

I came to Masala Kraft Cafe with a couple of friends on a Wednesday night. It was pretty cold outside so we were itching to get inside and have a nice warm meal. It was just that! It was most of our first times trying Indian cuisine or that specific dish so it was all around a very unique experience. I ordered the Thali #1 which had a lot of different doughy pieces to dip into the sauces and soups. It was my first time experiencing so many difference flavors in one dish. We shared the lasooni gobi (which is a cauliflower appetizer) which was very interesting! It has a very sweet vinegar-like taste! The guy who was there helped us a lot and walked us through how to eat each dish and even gave us suggestions. It was very informative and he was super nice. Such nice and homey service! read more

I wish I took pictures of my meal, but this place is bomb dot com. I've already come here twice, and it's so good! It also must be popular because I came before the lunch rush the first time and after the lunch rush the second time and the place was always busy. I got the masala dosa during my first visit and it was delish. I got the onion kulcha (so?) with the spinach and it was SO good! Their garlic naan was okay, but I was so happy to see that they make theirs vegan. I know a lot of people tend to put dairy in their naan. I got the mysore masala dosa the second time and I think it was even better. I ordered this vegetable pancake dish which was also so good. The sauce it came with had such a nice mix of spicy, savory and hint of sweetness. Their vegan mango lassi is also fantastic! I think the lady is the owner and she came to us at the end of the meal to thank us, and we had a lovely conversation. So nice and kind! I think my ONLY critique would be that getting the food takes a bit of time, but with their busy flow, it's completely understandable I would absolutely come back to this establishment! 10s, 10s, 10s across the board. read more

Let's talk about this wonderful establishment... a kosher vegetarian Indian restaurant located in the heart of Hartsdale. I decided to try this place out as my friend is Jewish and eats Kosher food. The food was excellent!!!!! You know when you go to an Indian spot and get really bad reflux afterwards? This place leaves you feeling satiated without that horrible feeling. See the photos attached to see what I ordered. All great items! The staff was so friendly and attentive. I even met the owner who was so lovely and asked how our experience was. I recommend this to anyone craving quality Indian food. Please stop by if you're in the area. They have specific time for lunch and dinner, so coordinate accordingly. Hand sanitizer stations throughout the restaurant and overall clean environment. read more

Seafood has been my primary source of protein for the last year and a half. But lately, I'm equally turned on by vegetarian dishes. Masala Kraft is an all-vegetarian eatery, with an excellent variety of appetizers to get things started, Dosas, Beverages (hot and cold) and Desserts that left me dropping my jaw and will return for more. No buffet here- just good Indian food- café style. Interior is small-scale with high stools by the window and a few tables around. Service was pleasant and was given, pretty much a brief description of Masala's North Indian style of cooking. Basically the few things I ordered, were so freaking tasty: the 'Masala Dal Vada' (crispy Lentil Patties served with a Peanut Chutney), was extra crispy and had the softest trace of heat and a delicate hint of Anise. The 'Lasooni Gobi' (Cauliflower Tossed W/ Garlic, Tomato & Cilantro) was real delicious- it has the right crunch without being overbearing and the seasonings, all blended. I just couldn't leave without having a Mango Lassi, that I simply couldn't resist- very good, just missed a real bang for more Mango. I'm not an expert at Indian food so I really can't compare it to anything, except to mention that it was well made. I got the best of both worlds here: a complete vegetarian restaurant and flavor. I liked the energy here and briefly meeting owner Mrs. Bela Mehta, summed it all up. But most importantly, setting up Masala Kraft in Hartsdale, has been a great vegetarian addition. read more

Masala Kraft Vegetarian cafe/ restaurant is a small place which gives us a feel of grabbing an evening snack and coffee. This is not a restaurant I would say they don't have a large seating probably it would fit 20-30 people. The kitchen can be seen from the counter the chef/owner of the restaurant cooking. They have many snack options like cheese toast, Dahi puri, etc. I was there for lunch and they had Thalis. I would say the portion size is small. It might seem expensive for anyone to spend for a thali 14-16$ but the food is fresh and tastes good. I tried the Falooda it was more like a milkshake wouldn't suggest that but overall this place is for anyone who wants to try Indian snacks. read more

Carefully crafted Indian dishes in a friendly setting. You won't get it at first but when the food arrives the world will change for you. If you're new to the cuisine it's a must try. If you grew up with it, is back home again. All I can say is I want it once a week at the least. The attention for your experience will be on par with the best of the best but expect to wait for your quality dishes. Vegetarian and vegan is served and even meat eaters will find themselves wanting more of this simple but well crafted southern Indian cuisine. read more

Good Food, Good Mood! This reasonably priced delightful southern Indian, vegetarian cuisine restaurant should not be missed. It is intimate, cheerful and run by Sonia and Abby who seem to really care about your experience. as their sign says, "Good food, good mood". We ordered too much food and enjoyed every bite. The Bahl an Indian street food of puffed rice, sev, cilantro and sweet chutney was new to me and delicious. Both the Mysore Masala Dosa and the Molghai Podi Dosa were beautiful to look at and so flavorful. We had an appetizer of a spiced cauliflower which was also delicious. The mango lassi's tasted like the mango's had just been picked. I look forward to another visit next time we are in town! read more

I really like this place, actually. 1 star, because they got my allergy mixed up. Which I caught and all was OK, but when I asked for something to be comped and thrown in (like something small on the house to show good faith) they refused.

My boyfriend and I ate here tonight and I have ordered for pickup on door dash multiple times prior. The food is always amazing, as it was tonight. The reason for the 3 stars is that upon sitting down we were told they were phasing out credit cards and asked if we had cash. I said sorry, we don't have. We were told we can use a credit card, but to remember for next time to bring cash. We ate and the food was absolutely delicious as usual, but then when the check came they were astonished that I handed them a credit card. And then was told that they don't accept credit cards anymore. We had just been told upon sitting down that it was preferred to pay in cash so just to remember for next time. They allowed me to pay with the card, but acted as if they were doing me a favor by allowing it. The neighborhood the restaurant is located in is an affluent area, not sure why the business would choose this course of action instead of charging a fee and allowing card sales. My biggest problem with the whole experience was the change in attitude when it came to pay. If they had said no credit cards at all when we sat down, we would've eaten somewhere else honestly. I'll definitely order again, but I won't dine in. I'll just order through door dash for pickup and pay with a card that way as I've done many times in the past. Hoping the business owner reads this because there's other ways to make up for lost revenue from card transaction fees. And most customers who don't ever carry cash are not going to make a special trip to the bank just to eat at this restaurant, which is going to equal much more lost revenue than credit card transaction fees. read more

Our first trip to Masala Kraft Café will not be our last! We came for the dosas, which were fantastic, but we loved everything we ate. My 10 year old gobbled Dosas and Medu Vada and I had the Thali with Aloo Gobi which was a perfect amount of food! Of course I then helped him finish off so many other things! Sonia was delightful and made sure we had everything we could possibly want. The Mango Lassi (we had non-dairy) are HIGHLY recommended (my 10 year old said use all caps)! read more

First the food. Deliciously crafted clean food, with fresh wholesome ingredients. Just like home cooked meals, but so much better! And primarily vegan/vegetarian. The best Indian food in all of Westchester for sure!! Now the service. As good as the food. Sonia was so informative, and inquisitive of personal diet to be sure of no allergens in the food. She delivers cordial service with a smile and a keen knowledge of just how each dish is prepared. I highly recommend Masala Kraft !!! read more

I have never been so disgusted by any experience. Before I even entered the establishment the Manager Sonia comes busting out of the door to rudely tell us that they are a vegan/vegetarian and they prefer payment in cash. This is before we even walk in.... After walking in she rudely repeated everything she had just said and putting more emphasis on preference of cash payments. I'm sorry I simply can't justify spending my money at a place that lacks common courtesy and manners. If I could leave a 0 rating I absolutely would. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

While I appreciate that there are so many veg options, and the menu and storefront are cute, the food is not actually good. It's also incredibly overpriced. Potato Kathi Roll - Seasoned potato, onion and cilantro chutney in a homemade paratha. -- Sounds nice; what I received were 2 bland potato balls for $9. The cilantro "chutney" is awful. I understand using potato powder for the filling, but at least season it. The $11 Pav Bhaji came as a small container (1 cup) of curried veggie with 2 burger type rolls toasted on the side. Why would I want curry with white bread? I suppose this "restaurant" is acceptable to its demographic: rich white people with stunted taste buds. read more

My girlfriend suggested Masala Kraft one day while I was visiting and I will admit I was skeptical at first. My father is a butcher, and my mother has worked in seafood most of my life, so when we arrived I was disappointed to find out this restaurant was vegetarian/vegan. With that said, I am more than glad to admit I ate my words (pun intended) when it came to this place. From the food to the service, everything was phenomenal. It was small and cozy, and the owner(?) Sonia, was an absolute sweetheart who made me feel like I had been invited into her home for dinner. She was so friendly, made recommendations for her favorite dishes from the menu, chatted with my girlfriend and I about our upcoming vacation to India, and even brought us out little samples of new things she was trying or had just finished cooking up in the kitchen. The food was also so delicious. We ordered half the menu, and there was not a single thing I wasn't absolutely drooling over. The pani puri was light and flaky on the outside and bursting with freshness and flavor. The lasooni gobi was perfectly spiced, and an ideal portion size. The pav bhaji was mouthwatering, and the ras malai was the best I've had. I can not recommend this place enough, and if you're skeptical like I was, Masala Kraft will surely change your mind. read more

Average quality of the food & unethical billing practices: Average quality of the food as compared to the nearby Indian restaurant, i.e, Jewel of Himalaya - Scarsdale, NY.

It's too bad I found this place because now every other indian place looks kind of pathetic by comparison. I can't go back to coach after flying first class. Everything is made fresh on site!

The music was even perfect: calming indian themed music. Decor was perfect, too. But the food? Oh, man. I melted eating it. It was so good. The symphony of flavors was incomparable. read more
