    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

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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.

    Kerala King fish curry (bottom left), mango custard, paneer butter masala (top right), and parotta (top left).

    OMG just had the best Indian dinner at Masala Twist in Richardson! We had the Kerala fish curry (King fish), paneer butter masala, parotta, and mango custard. Everything was super tasty and authentically South Indian. The owner himself served us and he was super nice! A personable customer experience is definitely one of their priorities. Can't wait to come back on Sunday and try their 30 item buffet!

Don't forget about their Ruby Red Trout. It's amazing ! Anaya's put places like Pappadeaux's to shame. If you haven't tried Anaya's, you haven't had extraordinary seafood !

We all received samples of the soup and the poblano soup was a table favorite! Our food was delicious as well as our waitress. We loved the evening Happy Hour on a Saturday evening. Only complaint was it was entirely too humid in the restaurant, so much so that we were miserable in that sense. Everyone constantly had to wipe the water glasses off before taking a drink. So we ate quickly so we could leave and didn't get to socialize a lot.

The food was absolutely delicious and the ambiance was wonderful and perfect for a catch up with my friend: warm, inviting, and perfect service! The burrata salad was outstanding, and the pasta was equally impressive. We also shared the bread pudding for dessert, which was incredible and the perfect ending to the evening. The lobster dishes and wine selection were excellent as well. What really stood out, however, was the exceptional service: attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming without ever being intrusive. To top it all off, our entire dinner came to under $100, which felt like tremendous value for the quality of the food and experience. I only wish we had a location in Los Angeles.

This location felt like I was inside a fancy boat To start - the most unique and delicious chips I've ever had. I'm coming back first and foremost for the chips! Haven't seen chips this full of flavor before The prickly pear refresher was amazing - just mint, lemon, soda and prickly pear puree? This is one I'm going to make at home The same chips are used for the tuna dip but I'd like to note their pickled jalapeno - that was fire. So much flavor here Shrimp salad was great too, I enjoyed how balanced the dish was The baked alaska was a mix of chocolate and strawberry on the inside - everything was done from scratch. One recommendation is to add a layer between the ice cream and marshmallow is possible The black wagyu gold something tomahawk was divine - maybe better than any bbq I've been to. Nothing was spared here I also got the key lime pie, it was more grainy than I expected and the key lime was mostly in the reduction (?) to be poured on Overall, tomahawk, crackers, prickly pear drink (forgot to mention crab cake) were my favorites Staff was friendly too!

Started with some hush puppies, which were OK but really hard. Had the shrimp and catfish combo with onion rings and a side of coleslaw and the shrimp and oyster combo with the same sides. The coleslaw was pretty good as was the small catfish filet. Although nothing to write home about either. The shrimp was tough and overcooked. The onion rings were also a big disappointment not near the crispiness or freshness or flavor of the ones I had at their Casa Linda location. In both locations, the sides they give you are never consistent. For example, one combo had cocktail sauce (which was still frozen) and the other combo did not. Not sure if I'll try this location again.

Pappadeaux's deal was honestly hard to beat: $40 gets you an appetizer, entrée AND dessert. The choices are limited, but these are the regular generous Pappadeaux portions, not tiny "special menu" servings. If ordered separately, you'd be looking at around a $100 bill instead of $40. No sharing, and tip isn't included. Whether you've never tried Pappadeaux or you're already a regular, this is a fantastic deal! Definitely a win-win.
