    Channa masala, Paneer Tikka Masala, Steamed Rice, Parotta Salna, Garlic Naan, Samosa Chaat

    FINALLY!!! I have been searching for good local Indian cuisine since I moved to Richardson and have tried nearly everyone. This place has completely met the mark. Everything pictured was only $38!!!! That is the cheapest I have found, with the best flavor as well. I'd highly recommend giving masala twist a try.

    Arcot Biryani
    Susan L.

    I ordered from DoorDash and everything was hot, fresh and absolutely delicious! The Arcot (lamb) Biryani was so flavorful and had plenty of huge hunks of tender lamb throughout. The Onion Kulcha was delicious and a large portion. Will order again very soon!

    Sunday buffet
    Stella C.

    Awesome service! We went for dinner on a Friday night, loved it! Nikitha, their wonderful staff (look her up)mentioned that they have an awesome Sunday buffet and so we did! This place is a gem bu itself, authentic, halala and vegetarian friendly. We got to talk to the friendly owner, Sabu and asked us how we found the place. #yelpgoodfind Let's support this place and dont forget their chai

    Saag Curry
    Asia W.

    Takeout Queen here again! So I'll start by saying I only chose this place because my typical Indian food spot is closed on Wednesday. I walked and no one was standing at the host stand. But there's a sign to press a button if unattended. I did and someone almost immediately came out with my order. Awesome! Ok but the food. I could immediately tell the difference in quality. I ordered the Saag Paneer (I'm borderline vegetarian so take that as you will however you define it) with Rice and heated up naan I had at home. The saag was fine but the paneer was overcooked I suppose. It was rubbery and unpleasant to chew. The rice was actually pretty delicious. Overall I wouldn't go back because paneer is pretty much the only thing I eat.

    Paneer Butter Masala
    Nichole D.

    I ordered vegetable samosas this time with paneer butter masala again. The samosas were pretty good. I requested one of the butter masalas to be extra spicy and this either only comes mild or they missed the request. Both were the same and not spicy. Still tasty, though.

    Fresh made samosas. Crispy and warm on the inside.

    It was raining today so I decided Indian was going to be the perfect choice! :) I had not been here before but it will not be the last. 5 star all the way from welcoming, service, made to order food and cleanliness. Emma was so nice and helpful. I really appreciated her suggestions and service. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala with Rice and Samosas. All delicious. Must try!!!

    Butter Masala (Chicken), Rice, Mix Veg Pakora
    Sumi J.

    Masala Twist comes to my job every week to sell food. Since I've been working from home, I had a craving and decided to make a trip to the restaurant. I got the Mix Veg Pakora and Butter Masala Chicken. I was a little disappointed by the Pakora. That's my fault though. I thought it was going to be vegetable fritter held together with ground chickpeas. Either way, it was pretty good. There was fried onions and green peppers. It had a great flavor but I was definitely looking for a tamarind or green sauce to help cleanse my palate and make it feel a little lighter. It wasn't spicy at all in case you were wondering. I ordered it Medium. The real reason I came was for the Butter Chicken. I got a pretty decent sized portion. Their butter chicken is different though, in a good way. They use different cuts of chicken. Other restaurants use cubes of maybe chicken breast and I don't really like the texture. Prices are comparable to other places but it was worth the drive to Richardson. Give it a try :)

    Super place for a weekend buffet. Extensive menu options available both for veg and non vegetarian food items. Affords price. Waited for few minutes to be seated but that is because it was crowded and looked quite popular among the local Indian folks. Loved their appam! Mendhu vada, malai chicken, veg navratan korma, hyderabadi chicken gravy, veg fried rice were few of the items I loved. The chhole bhature, fried fish, paneer and okra dishes could have been better. The desserts were too sweet for my preference. Overall I will recommend this place.

    Disappointing. The Masala dosa was quite soggy, the chutneys were not great and the taste was bland. The saag curry with paneer was very watery and had no flavor. Won't be returning unfortunately

    Chicken Vindaloo
    Clinton M.

    Had a great dinner tonight at Masala Twist. The Garlic Naan was out of this world. The Vindaloo had the perfect amount of spice and tasted amazing. Overall was a great dinner and the best part was the friendly waitress Emma who helped with decisions on what to try.

    Restaurant has gone downhill since new management took over. Food quality has gone downhill and just the ambience isn't the same

I am not a big fish person and hubby loves something fried so a healthy fishy meal isn't our first go to, but we went outside our normal tonight. And we left so satisfied. For apps, the mac and cheese bites with crab. This should feel heavy but it doesn't. Moist and full of flavor. We did the crab fingers (special on the black board... pay attention to the specials they are fire). Tons of crab for the price and the chowder type sauce was so good. I just wish I had more bread to soak it up. Dinner was the tuna with mango sauce. I got mine rare and it was perfectly cooked. The filet was well seasoned and the sauce complimented it well. Large portion of tuna. He got the special (do not sleep on the black board) flounder stuffed with crab and shrimp. Absolutely amazing. I have never ever ordered flounder before but I guarantee ill order it if we return and its a special. Service was fast snd everyone was attentive. Cant wait until we go back.

The menu pricing is fair given its seafood but not super affordable either. We started with the Oysters Rockefeller. The oysters were massive! However, I wasn't really a fan of the sauce, and especially not the lettuce. Because the dish was served hot, the lettuce was soggy and impacted both the texture and taste of the overall dish. The best thing, in my opinion, were the Mac and cheese crab cakes. A truly genius combination. Lastly, the fried catfish was just okay. It was kind of bland but not super crispy either. The portion is really big though. The fries on the side were soggy too and could have spent a couple more minutes in the frier.

I would recommend walking around the entire buffet if it's your first time and then strategically picking items you like the best first. I started off with the nigiri sushi first. The chef was making them fresh at the bar and kept the buffet plates full. The flavor/quality was good and I enjoyed that they did not add wasabi. The yakatori was one of my favs. I tried both the beef and pork belly and they were both delicious. You could really taste the smoke from the charcoal. This item did require a little waiting. They had a wide variety of items for dessert, including fruit and cakes, a chocolate fountain, and even sherbet. I didn't get a chance to try the stations where you get to make your own soup or stirfry but they look good. Items I would avoid: Crawfish was dried out. Crab dishes aren't worth the effort. Pizza of course. Cons: You will eat way too much.
