We were really wanting Indian food and picked this place based on the reviews. We were the only ones in the restaurant but many people came and picked up to go. There were just two women working there and the younger one who took our order was not very pleasant. She actually made a face at us when we asked a question. We ordered two different chicken dishes but they tasted exactly the same, the tikka masala and butter chicken. The portions were large and the food came quickly but that was the end of our table services. I had to go to the counter for drinks which we never got with our initial order. The floor by the counter was so sticky I lost my sandal. I understand now why there were no one eating in. read more

Amazing food and service! My partner and I ordered the chicken samosa, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan bread, which were all so delicious. We can't wait to go back! :) read more

Hands down the best Garlic Naan I've ever tasted in my whole life. It's very rare now for me to come on Yelp to give such high praise but Masala deserves high flying colors for their Chicken Tikka Masala-Garlic Naan combo! Do yourself a favor, get up from your Covid depression and boring daily munchies from your fridge and order some Masala greatness to fill your tummy! I will certainly go back for more.. now thinking maybe once a week! read more

I was having a real hankering for Indian cuisine the past couple months to warm me up in the frigid cold. Masala Twist & Grill's dishes so flavorful and tasty. We have ordered from them a few times now and the food always brings moans of pleasure from us. Also, there is so much in an order that we have plenty for a second meal the next day. If you want some good Indian food, try this spot out! I highly recommend getting it spicy to give it a kick and anything with paneer (I love Cheese). You will thank me! read more

We were a little hesitant when we got there as the location was a little sus, and there were not a lot of people dining. I'm so glad we trusted Yelp as we had a great night. It was authentic and the food was delicious. Ingredients were super fresh and unbelievable flavors. All the below dishes did not disappoint. Vegetable Samosa Chicken Tikki Masala Chicken Vindalu Shrimp Curry Garlic and regular nan We'll be back! read more

Update: 10-6-2020 I had ordered the sweet corn soup and paneer tikka masala via DoorDash. I was really excited about the "SWEET" corn soup, but I'm totally disappointed. Let's just say I couldn't really taste the soup because the immense amount of peppercorn present. The description said lightly spiced; this was heavily spiced. When I couldn't eat it anymore, and when I went to eat the paneer tikka masala, I couldn't enjoy it since the peppercorn taste was still burning my mouth up. Don't get me wrong, I usually order from Masala and they are great, but idk this time was just a thumbs down for me. read more

Masala Twist and Grill - Look how much peppercorn is in this sweet corn soup - Indian Near Me - Linden, New Jersey

Ordered Tomato Soup which was so spicy that it was inedible. Vada Pav was one of the worst I have had with no chutney's or anything. Pretty dry and served in a burger bun instead of Pav. The Cholle Bhatura was lets say, a recipe I have never seen. The Choille was yellow and creamy. The Bhatura, was thick and oily. The Paneer Aloo roll was wrapped in a tortilla and not a paratha. Mostly aloo (the same taste as the vada pav aloo) with little paneer. All the food was super spicy when I had not indicated a higher level of spice on my order. read more

Small business that can definitely be overlooked but such great food, service, and portions! Came on a Wednesday night with two friends around 6:30pm. We were seated promptly! Food: I ordered from the vegetarian main courses section of the menu and the from the rice section of the menu. The chana saag (chickpeas with spinach in a creamy spiced sauce) and a side of basmati rice. The pot of chana saag didn't seem that big but man was it filling! I couldn't even eat the whole thing. The basmati rice was plain which helped balance out the spices in the main entree. The only thing I would say is that the entrees should come with at least rice instead of having to order it separately. Service: food was cooked quickly and the staff were attentive / friendly . Tips: you can indicate if you want your dish less / more spicy. Parking is limited so if you come with a group try to carpool! read more

Masala Twist and Grill - Chana Saag with Plain Basmati Rice - Indian Near Me - Linden, New Jersey

Food was good !! kadai paneer was fire asked for spicy and it was actually spicy. Definitely recommend it

Food was good but the mixed vegetable curry was not cooked well, some of the veggies in it were not cooked well. Palak Panner,Garlic naan and laccha paratha,mango lassi were good. Veg biryani is not biryani but more like mixed vegetable rice with spices. We felt again the rice and vegetables could have been cooked better. Overall food was good but could have been better. read more

The food was amazing. The garlic naan was to die for. I will definitely be eating here again!

I usually get the basic yet delicious butter chicken and tikka masala (I usually throw in the garlic naan and veggie samosa). Honestly, there is nothing bad to say about them. They are so good, and it always hits the spot. read more

Although I have very little experience with Indian Cuisine, I enjoyed this take out. The restaurant was very clean & cozy. The attendant was extremely nice & cordial. I was pleasantly surprised when he called me to say my food was ready. It was a Sunday evening and the restaurant was literally empty, I'm guessing the word hasn't gotten out that this is a pretty descent restaurant to sit down and eat in. My food was a tad bit spicy but since it was Indian food, that was to be expected. I particularly loved the curry shrimp although it was different from what I anticipated, I thought it would be like Caribbean curry shrimp, although it wasn't I still enjoyed it. I would definitely make a visit in the future and maybe even eat in. read more

Food was just ok, nothing special. Definitely not quality and I wouldn't order from them again.

Amazing. I ordered the butter chicken with garlic naan and it was phenomenal! This is one of my go to places whenever I want to order Indian food. My order did come with rice and the portions are really great for the price you're paying, I would eat some the day I ordered and still have some left over to eat for the next day. The butter chicken is thick and creamy, has a good spice (I love spicy foods) and just good spices in general it's super delicious, if you're wondering on what to order but not familiar with Indian food you can never go wrong with butter chicken! read more

Writing this review for those who like my boyfriend, can't try a new place without checking Yelp lol We ordered takeout from Masala today, after having seen it on the ride home the other day. We love Indian food, so we were excited to try it, Yelp reviews or not haha. It's hard to find good options that deliver, especially when you're vegetarian so we're pretty happy with them being so close. I did not go pick up, so I can't speak for the place/decor. The food we ordered was good and tasted fresh. The price is comparable to other local Indian restaurants, but the portions are definitely smaller. We usually have enough for leftovers when we order from other places. My only complaint is that the entrees don't include rice, and the rice portion you get if you decide to order rice, is much smaller than I expected. Not such a big deal for me, but may be for others. Besides that, we were happy with everything we ordered and will definitely continue ordering from them. We tried: Veg Samosas Chana Saag Paneer Tikka Masala Garlic Naan Not sure how new this establishment is, but we hope business goes well so we can continue to have this great option close to home. read more

We went in the early afternoon they had Great service, nice ambience, and even more amazing food. We are going back for dinner very soon.

Really solid! I've long had trouble finding an Indian restaurant that hits all the checkmarks of robust flavor, spice, and quality of cooking, and Masala Twist hits them all. The butter chicken and chicken tikka masala both featured juicy chunks of white meat in super-savory, comfortably spicy sauces. Big, fluffy pieces of naan round it out. And the food was ready in fifteen or twenty minutes. I'm glad to have a new go-to! read more

Hot take out and wow, great Indian food! I've tried a couple of places but this one takes the cake. It's also BYOB which is amazing, love this place read more

Love love love this place. Never had a bad meal from here. The food is delicious and I can't stop eating the naan. They will make it to however spicy you like it. At whatever spice level, it is delicious. Now let me tell you about the owners... they are truly the nicest people you will ever meet. When the dining room was open, you felt like they were welcoming you into their family home. Even if they food wasn't as good I would still go there to support this family. Luckily the food is great!! Support local businesses!! Get some takeout and try this place, you will be hooked and go back often (like I do). read more

The food here is really tasty! What a find!! the sauces on our butter chicken and lamb dish were amazingly complex and delicious. Also the Somoza chat as an appetizer was so flavorful and great texture - the restaurant location is not very impressive- but the quality and flavor of the food more than makes up for it. The family that works there were very nice- and try the chai tea ! So good. read more

I ordered Chicken Biryani from them through Uber Eats and am glad that I gave them a try. The Biryani was packed in so much flavor and big pieces of chicken and fried egg. I would've liked it to be a bit more on the spicier side and have no complaints with the food! read more

Masala Twist and Grill - Chicken Biryani! - Indian Near Me - Linden, New Jersey

I am very annoyed with this restaurant. Being new to the Rahway/Linden area, I was excited to see an Indian place nearby that had my favorite Chicken Tikka Masala dish. Today I placed an order and was so excited to finally get my hands on some Chicken Tikka Masala when my order was suddenly cancelled without any explanation. I called the restaurant to ask why because I had placed my order 30 minutes prior and I had gotten notification that my DoorDash driver was on his way to pick up my food. The restaurant informed me that they decided to cancel my order because they did not like that I had used a promo code on my DoorDash app. A little disappointed, I told the owner that I completely understood because I know we are in a pandemic and business can be rough and I was unaware a few dollars saved on my behave would greatly affect their business. Instead of the owner and I parting ways in a friendly manner, she began yelling at me through the phone about how inconsiderate I was and that I am unappreciative of her cooking. I continued to be belittled by this owner until I decided it was best if I just hung up the phone. I would have been more than glad to pay the total of my food without any use of a promo code because I know I do not carry the stressful weight of owning a business. However, her rude, unprofessional, and quite frankly hurtful comments have completely disgusted me from ever ordering from this restaurant. It is very disappointing because the food does look great, thought I personally have never tried it. I would label this restaurant as incredibly greedy for money. I have read a mixture of reviews that this restaurant's customer service is a 1/10, customers have been met with appalling rude behavior, condensing commentary, multiple overcharges or arguments about prices; it is saddening that I am now one of those people when I can barely label myself as a customer of this restaurant. I hope to find a more friendly Indian restaurant nearby that carries my favorite dish. read more

I love this place! Delicious food, friendly people. Awesome variety on the menu, perfect for veggie people. Amazing samosas. Reasonable prices, good portions. :) read more

Never delivered food. Uses this service to take order, charge my credit card, and then never delivered order. When I called the restaurant they said they never received the order. OK - perhaps there is a mix up. But then I see that my credit card has been charged (with tip no less!). Seeking to resolve this with refund, but not a great experience so far. Wish I could review the food - but alas it never came! read more

Great takeout. Perfect for both meat lovers and vegetarians. We enjoyed the vegetarian navratan curry and lamb vindaloo. Flavorful and healthy. read more

Horrible rude customer service. We have ordered multiple times and usually go to pick it up ourselves, but decided to get delivery through door dash this last time. Our appetizer was missing from the order. We had three containers of rice and the two sauces that go with the samosas appetizer, but no samosas. No big deal right? Everyone makes mistakes. We called and the woman who answered began yelling at us that the kitchen says they put them in the bag so they put them in the bag. She doesn't know what we think she should do but they put the order together properly. There was no reason for her to get nasty. She's lost our business and the business of anyone we know that might ever want to try the restaurant. There's a much better place in Westfield with better food and nicer staff. read more

I've wanted to try this place for quite some time and finally got the opportunity to do so. I placed my order online and arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes later. Once I get to the counter, a woman comes out from the kitchen and asks for my name. Apparently the online orders haven't been going through, despite me receiving an email confirmation. So she takes my order again and says it will be ready in 10 minutes. I return in 10 minutes and she tells me it will be right out. 2 more people pick up their orders and she tells me 2 more minutes. I finally get my food after 18 minutes and decide to review my receipt since I'd read that totals were off on some orders. Admittedly the way the receipt is labeled can be confusing, but basically they don't charge you the extra fee if you pay by cash. Ok so now on to the food. Everything was still piping hot when I arrived home. The Chicken Tikka Roll was a lot larger than I expected, but was delicious. The Garlic Naan had a good amount of garlic and plenty to share. The Chicken Samosas probably could have been taken out a minute earlier due to the crumbly outside, but was still tasty. Overall, everything was good and easily enough for 2nds. read more

So delicious. Kebabs had perfect spice. Samosas chaat were crispy with really tasty, spicy potato filling. The vindaloo had the depth of flavor and not just pure heat, which I love! Butter chicken reminded me of a favorite Indian spot in Long Island that's been long closed (The Curry Club). Palak paneer tasted so fresh, with some texture that really gave it a home made feel. We will most definitely be back! read more

Chicken curry was exceptionally delicious! Can't wait to try the many other plates they offer, even the rice was good lol

One of our favorite go to spots for Indian. Too hungry to grab pictures but we ordered the veggie samosas, Lamb Rogan josh, and shrimp curry. All were amazing! read more

Ordered takeout earlier tonight and the food was great! we ordered the veg samosa, chicken vindaloo, chicken tikka masala, and plain naan. Everything was delicious! The samosas were awesome and chicken vindaloo is one of my favorites and it didn't disappoint. The man i picked up my order from was very polite and friendly! The prices are very good especially compared to the Indian restaurants in my hometown. one tip for ordering: i didn't realize rice had to be ordered separately, but i was able to add it to my order and didn't take very much extra time. read more

I have tried this place three times: all three times were different experiences. It should't be because all I'm asking for is consistency. I would not deter you from trying it yourself because as I have said I had different experience each visit. It's a restaurant designed for sit down but has a very small parking space. The menu is designed to show more items than they can actually cater..(they need to update their actual offering) If I had left this review to my wife; she would probably just say "It's alright"-3 star read more

To my surprise, this is Edison quality food in Linden. The prices are reasonable and portions large (although paying for rice is annoying). The biryani, chicken curry and chicken tikka masala were all very good. read more

Food is superb! Tried using Uber eats & comes hot & delicious! Recommend the Butter Chicken!

Never had Indian food besides Samosas, and let me tell you, this place is as the Kids say "The Gas". The Food was fantastic, fresh made to order with great flavor, and the portions are big enough to where you could share with one other person. The Garlic Naan bread is Just Chefs Kiss. will definitely be coming back! read more
