I ordered Korma and samosas, and I was very underwhelmed by the flavor and texture of the food. I wouldn't eat here even if it were free.

The best Indian food I've had in a while. The mild options are super flavorful, and actually have a mild amount of heat instead of none. The garlic naan was fantastic, curries were amazing, and food was ready early. I'll order from their site in the future so the restaurant gets all of the money. Highly recommend trying this place! read more

This place is amazing. I moved here from London and I miss a really good curry. I don't pretend to be any kind of expert on regional differences, but some of the indian meals I have had back home have brought tears to my eyes - really, haha. Jalfrezi, Vindaloo, Naan bread, Prawn on Puri, samosas - (these guys also serve one chaat style!!), prawn tikka masala, mata paneer, tandooris. lol I'm a bit obsessed. Sadly (for this purpose) I'm vegan now, but guess what? They have soooo many vegan options that are plain delicious in their VEGAN section. Don't worry veggies and meaties, you will be happy there too, according to my researchers. I see they have a spicy set menu, square lunches for around 10 bucks and dinners for 2! I haven't tryed them yet, but I'm gonna. read more

Ordered take out from there and we were excited after reading the reviews and seeing the ratings. But honestly, it is just average food. Like okay. We saw that the prices were a teensy bit higher than other Indian restaurants around here, so we were expecting something fabulous, or at least large portions of food. But it was neither. Just some okay food that came in way too small portions than other restaurants around here. :( read more

I have been ordering delivery from Masala throughout quarantine and the food and service are both fantastic. The food arrives warm! The tikka masala is delicious, as is the korma. Naan and yogurt sauce are great too. And I've gotten the mango lassi a few times, which is really yummy. Make sure to order directly from their site because other delivery services take a cut. Great local business - would definitely recommend ordering/visiting them! read more

This place is awesome. We have been looking for a go-to Indian place in our neighborhood. Tonight we had the lamb vindaloo, malai kofta, naan, and samosas. Everything was delicious, with a harmonious and complex blend of flavors. The spice level was perfect for us (we ordered medium and spicy), but if you are new to spicy food, it may be best to get mild. The rice was fluffy and hadn't been dried out, as many places do. I haven't found a great malai kofta since I've lived in Boston, but this fit the bill. We will definitely be eating here again, and I am really glad these guys have come to Union Square! read more

Every dish we tried was a treat to our taste buds. Great food, ambience and service. My husband and I opted for the combo for 2, we got samosas, pakoras, jalfrezi, malai kofta and Ras malai. I also got the flying horse beer ( product of India). I recommend this beer for all the Indian beer lovers, the taste and the smell is nostalgic. Also, their mint chutney is Amazing. Love this restaurant! This restaurant has a very authentic style, will definitely have you guessing the flavors and lets you walk out with a lingering taste! read more

The food was excellent and the service was pleasant and helpful! I'll definitely be coming back here again!

love this place. Quick, delicious food. One of the best indian food places I've had in Boston area. Plus the cute family who works there are so nice and loving I feel like I'm a family member. One time I got some food that was not up to par and they refunded me kindly. Love this place. Highly recommend it. Spices and freshness guaranteed! read more

Eggplant Bhartha is bomb. Fast, clean, good authentic Indian food with a menu that makes it simple if you're not familiar with Indian.

This was great Indian food. The service was fantastic. My food came in a matter of 25 minutes on a Friday evening, my order was put together completely and well-packaged. This was wonderful food. Thank you, Masala Square Indian Kitchen! I will be ordering takeout from here plenty more. :) read more

The restaurant owners attempted to block this review. Here it is again Decided to try this place at the last minute on a Saturday, everything else in town booked, it's new, had good reviews. Arrived 530PM, made a reservation that was not needed as no one was there, very pleasant server. Ordered a beer( no mixed drinks), one bright spot, then came the food, Pakora overcooked and hard, no flavor, they were hot, pasty inside. Somosas were the concurrent disappointment. Although I'm spoiled by a friends mother who makes them, I've sampled them at at least 10 other Indian Restaurants. These were the worst, no flavor, devoid of any spicing, and it looked like they tried to cover them up with a chick-pea garnish....didn't work.." They cut into odd half pieces. (I understand the restaurant will be giving a Somosa class, perhaps she chef should attend). Then it got worse. 2 main dishes arrived with thick, dried pieces of bread, the "naan." Star Market quality. Naan should be light, flavorful, the best used to be found at Diva (out of business) or the JP Indian restaurants. Then it got more worse. Lamb Vindaloo, at that point I thought I was having a neurological event and lost my taste buds. It was supposed to be "extra hot," it was mild, again no spicing, thin sauce, lamb dry, old and/or overcooked. My partner had the Korma w/chicken, bland, chicken also overcooked, no hint of the cream sauce or mild sweetness you find with as good Korma. Tried my other guest's Biryani, dry but much much better flavoring and texture. That gives them a mild star. There's a dearth of really good Indian food in Boston, but there's a few other places that step up to the plate. Head to JP, Cambridge, or almost anywhere else, or maybe the Diva owners will re-op, or befriend and Indian family who can cook. read more

I love this place! The food is consistently delicious. I've come both for lunch and dinner and I like the convenience of the "square meal" option and the expanded dinner menu. The owners are delightful, and they've been so kind to my son (even when he is not on his best behavior). Even a 3yr old loves the food! read more

With lots of great options in the area, this is by far the best! I first went here with a good friend who recommended the Paneer Wings which were an absolute delight. But the real star of the show ... and what brings me back at least once a week ... is the Lamb Tikka Masala. The meat is beyond melt in your mouth tender & the Curry's flavor can't be beat. Hands down a must try! read more

The food was absolutely delicious--flavorful, fresh ingredients, and Medium was a perfect spice level for me. I was smiling the whole time I ate! The staff was very friendly as well. I got the Dinner for Two with a friend and everything we got was amazing. I think anything you could order here is worth getting. read more

I love the food here, and I'm Indian! My mom is an amazing cook so I have a very high standard and no Indian restaurant in Boston has met it, until now! The flavor is excellent, they do a wonderful job of melding their spices. I appreciate that the plain rice that comes with most dishes is not really plain - it's clearly made with care using traditional Indian techniques. They seem to have samosa-making classes once a month and even though I already know how to make samosas, I'm hoping to go soon and learn something new! I loved this restaurant so much that I'm having my parents schlep in from the suburbs soon to try it. I hope you begin catering soon (if you do not already!) read more

Great food. You can mix and match with flavour and protein which is kind of unique in Cambridge area.

This is my go to place to order Indian food when I am too lazy to cook myself. I have always ordered delivery from them , which has been on time and hot as well. Consistently good food with right amount of spicyness based on what you ask. Ordered Navratan Korma, Chana Masala, Samosas, Pakoras and Dal Tadka. All have been really good and upto the mark, except for the Dal Tadka which I feel was a bit high on turmeric (I see that generally happen at all Indian restaurants for some reason) . My favorite would be Chana masala. Perfect Punjabi way with the right amount of tomatoes and onions. They also mention what is specifically vegan and vegetarian in their menu which is a plus. Good variety and service. read more

Love this place. The food is super flavorful, the staff is extremely friendly, and considering the portion sizes it's also very reasonably priced. I've been to a handful of Indian restaurants in metro Boston and this place is definitely my favorite. read more

My family and I visited Masala Square this weekend and were extraordinarily happy with our visit. We went in on Sunday afternoon for lunch. The service from the moment we walked in to when we left was impeccable. We got the square meal, which was an app, side and entree for $10, great value! We mentioned my grandma's difficulty chewing some of the options and they immediately offered some possible substitutions to help with this. The food was awesome with great portion sizes. We got a variety of chicken and vegetarian entrees as well as a variety of naan, all the appetizer options, and every meal came with rice. Sometimes great value like this can be driven by low quality meat or veggies, but that was not the case here. The food was AMAZING! I recommend trying the chicken tikka masala. I would much rather go back here than go to a lunch buffet as the food was hot, freshly made, about the same amount as I'd eat at the buffet anyways, and we got to take home anything we did not finish. No buying lunch tomorrow for me! The family running this business is very pleasant and a pleasure to talk to. They did everything possible to cater to every customer that came in and it seems like they do a lot of community events in an effort to give back to the community. They announce a lot of these events on Instagram. read more

Great naan break - excellent food. Best Indian I've found for take out in my area of Cambridge (central)

While I wouldn't necessarily call us 'connoisseurs' of Indian cuisine, we do try to enjoy an Indian meal in the various cities we visit. Masala Square was only a few miles up from our hotel so we gave it a try. We are so glad we did. Solid Indian cuisine in a counter service format is hard to come by...and Masala Square hit a home run. The portions were generous and the taste was delicious. We had the Palak Paneer Saag, Chicken Saag and Tikka Masala; all were amazing. The pakora was fried perfectly. The naan was amazing. The atmosphere is great and the staff was beyond friendly and engaging. We won't come to Boston again without also coming to Masala Square. Perfect! read more

Try this only if you have a strong immune system! This place has poor hygiene standards. Halfway through my palak paneer dish, I felt something in my mouth and when I removed it, noticed a black shred of something, probably plastic. When I called attention to the waitress, they said they did not know what it was, just replaced the dish. Later they found out that apparently it was a piece of plastic netting from a bag of onions.They were not even apologetic about it! I ended up with a stomach upset for a few days after that visit, and needless to say would never go there again. read more

Some of the best Indian food I've had, especially for a take out option. The food arrived hot, perfectly spiced and flavorful. Our new favorite spot! read more

I got the traditional curry with chicken mild, my partner got the traditional curry with lamb medium and both dishes were awesome.

Food is average taste and in sweeter side. Biryani tasted very sweet even though we ordered medium spicy.

Very good Indian food and quicker delivery than promised. Is now our go-to source for Indian takeout.

The food is really great, guys support this business because they are new. They have a variety of drinks and great types of northern Indian food. read more

This place is the best! The food is so carefully cooked with such fast service. The owners and staff are very friendly and care about your needs and make that know. The square meal is a great deal and portion of food to feel satisfied for lunch. My family eats out in Boston very often, and this is one of the most delicious places we've eaten at! Will definitely be returning soon! read more

Went for Sunday lunch. Super reasonably priced and tasty, with a lot of food (a main course plus samosa plus naan and rice). There weren't very many lunch options, but seeing that I wasn't keen on them, our server encouraged me to order off-menu. I had paneer tikka masala--will definitely go back and order again! (Our server was especially friendly and helpful, too...) read more
