Amazing food and service! Do not skip the spinach dip naan, it's absolutely incredible, and I still think about it all the time. The momos were delicate, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, while the chicken was juicy and cooked just right. What really stood out was the owner's involvement. He genuinely cares about the restaurant and his guests, frequently walking around to check on customers and make sure everyone is having a great experience. The combination of outstanding food and attentive hospitality makes this a place I can't wait to return to!!! read more

Some of the NICEST service I've ever experienced. All the servers were extremely kind and the food was delicious. I got the lamb curry and the paneer tikka masala. Spice level 3 for the lamb curry was not spicy at all fyi (at least for me). It tasted very mild and they have you choose your level 1-5. The lamb was succulent and tasty. The tikka masala tomato sauce was soooo yummy too. Also I never review bathrooms at restaurants, but thought this one was really thoughtful for having an assortment of feminine supplies in the stall. Also mega easy parking when we went on a Saturday night. Huge lot with ample parking spaces, which can sometimes be hard to find in this area. Anyway, 5/5 stars. Would come here again. read more

Masala Waves is an absolute gem. We started with the tandoori fish and the samosa chaat and wow both were bursting with flavor. The fish was perfectly cooked tender and packed with smoky spices and the samosa chaat had the perfect balance of crispy tangy and comforting. The mango lassi was so refreshing and creamy easily one of the best I've had. The chicken biryani truly stole my heart. It honestly reminds me of my mom's cooking. The spices the aroma and the tenderness of the chicken made it feel like a warm homemade meal made with love. On top of all that the service was wonderful and so kind and welcoming which made the experience even better. I absolutely love this place and cannot wait to come back read more

ORDER chicken tikka masala (5/5) nepali chicken curry (3.5/5) spinach naan (4.5/5) garlic naan (5/5) mango lassi (4/5) OMG SO GOOD!! 100% WORTH THE HYPE. the spinach naan came out first and tasted amazing with the sauce it came with. the chicken tikka masala was delicious. i preferred it over the nepali chicken curry. both naans paired perfectly with the curry. spinach naan dipped in tikka masala was perfection. the mango lassi was refreshing as well, tasted like mango yogurt. SERVICE the food took a little long to come out, but i didn't mind. service was super good. the workers were attentive and kind. AMBIANCE spacious restaurant with plenty of parking. read more

delicious Indian spot in HB! we came by around 6pm on a Thursday evening and the restaurant was not too busy at all but definitely started to fill up around the time we left, so i could see how this spot could get busy on weekends. service was quick and friendly, our waiter recommended our fave dish of the night, and we got our food within 10 min. we ordered: ~ spinach dip naan: the naan itself was pretty good, although i do wish it had come out a bit warmer, but the dip was the star of the app, it had such a light refreshing and tangy flavor that i really enjoyed! ~ mango lassi: my bf really enjoyed this drink - super creamy and refreshing! ~ butter chicken: this was also good, although it leaned more tomato-y then i prefer when i order this dish, i usually prefer it to be a bit creamier, this one was a bit more tangy but this may be personal preference and I still enjoyed it ~ tandoori fish: our fave dish of the night! the swai fish was sooo flaky and smothered in a incredible flavorful sauce, our waiter made a wonderful suggestion! i would definitely come back since im curious to try the other dishes on the menu and we had great service :) read more

SO GOOD! Was craving Indian food so we doordashed food from here. Ended up trying the Butter Chicken, Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, and Samosas. THE FOOD WAS SOOOO GOOD! We got both the Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala at the Hot level. We were worried that the heat level would be too much, but it was honestly subtle! For an place with Indian food, the heat levels are pretty tame. Next time, I will definitely go for extra hot! The Butter Chicken was rich and creamy. The chicken was beautifully tender and as a dish, it was so addicting. The Tikka Masala was just as good! Flavorful and bold with moist pieces of meat. I couldn't decide which one I liked better! Both dishes were perfection. The Garlic Naan was perfectly garlicky, buttery, and fluffy. DO NOT SKIP THE NAAN! Dipping it in the butter chicken and tikka masala sauce was crazy addicting. Now the Samoas were JUST AS DELICIOUS. Firstly, they are MASSIVE. And they are seasoned to perfection. I can tell they were salted after being pulled out of the fryer and it was sooo good. The two chutneys were the perfect pairing. My husband preferred the sweeter tamarind chutney, while I loved the brighter and herby cilantro chutney with the samosas. Will definitely get more food from here! read more

This is my first time trying nepalese cuisine and it did not disappoint! The place is lovely with vibrant decor and is kept quite clean. The staff is friendly and attentive. We started off with beers and ordered tikka masala fries for an appetizer. For our entree, we ordered the traditional thali. Beers- They have a pretty good beer selection. We ordered the nepalese brand beer and it was quite refreshing! One was a paler blonde with a mild citrus finish and the other one has a rich flavor. Tikka Masala Fries- This was a fun palate opener. The dish was served hot with crisp fries doused in creamy and savory tikka masala sauce. Topped with cheese to give it an extra depth of flavor. Traditional Thali- This came with naan, lentils, seasonal vegetables, your choice of meat (we opted for chicken), with mango chutney and rice. It was a lovely variety of textures and flavors! Each item had something different to offer and the spread was quite cohesive. A must try! Great experience overall! read more

1000/10 everything!!!! It was my first time trying Indian food & I'm so glad I came here. I got mango lassi, samosas, the SPINACH DIP NAAN & chicken tikka masala all from the lunch special. (My total came out to $36 -- sooo affordable for everything we got. The naan & the tikka masala was my favorite. The dipping sauces that pair w it were so good too (mint mango chutney & plain mango chutney, ugh wow!!!!) Service was amazing, inside is spacious and clean and I our server gave us complimentary pistachio ice cream at the end. I would deffff come back. They deserve all their amazing reviews :) read more

Probably the best Indian food I've tried thusfar. Walking in, the restaurant was nicely decorated and the way they set the tables felt super fancy as well, which was cool. The person who sat us was really nice and welcoming. We ordered the chicken tikka fries, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan. For two people, this was more than enough, and we ended up taking leftovers. Everything was really good and flavorful, and wasn't too pricy (maybe $40ish if I remember correctly after tax + tip). My only complaint would be that the only time a server came to us was to bring us food. Besides the person that sat us, the other employees were slightly dismissive and it took us a while to get one's attention across the restaurant to get the check. read more

I tried this place because of TikTok and I wasn't disappointed! I called ahead for pickup and when I came they were exact on their timing, and the guy also gave us 2 free mango lasis which was so sweet, the drink was creamy but also kind of like a yogurt. I got a ton of items but the ones that stuck out to me were the garlic naan, taandori fish (melts in your mouth so good), butter chicken, and the tiki masala. We also got the lamb curry which my brother thoroughly enjoyed. Please support this place! :) read more

I tried my best to like this place, but to be honest I'm not a big fan. Probably because I ordered butter chicken, which is okay. The spice is there, but there was almost no flavor on the curry. The quality of butter chicken is similar to lunch buffet for restaurant prices. However, the service was great and the I do love their unique environment. Maybe I should try their specialities instead of butter chicken. I heard that their thali is good. However, I would have to give butter chicken a 2.5/5 due to lack of flavor and portion. Other than that I'll give this place one more try. Hopefully it'll be a better experience. read more

Tried this place for the first time after seeing it all over TikTok. Upon walking in, was greeted right away by a friendly cashier. Restaurant was clean and had a cool little gift shop inside as well. I got the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, mango lassi, and pistachio kulfi. The butter chicken was a little on the salty side, the chicken tikka masala was good, garlic naan complimented the dishes well, mango lassi was good and refreshing, and the pistachio kulfi was perfect to end the meal. Only complaint was $18 per dish and didn't come with any rice. Other than that, it was a good experience. read more

The food and service was amazing. Very attentive staff, that may have been because there weren't too many people in the restaurant at the time, but regardless the service was great. Curry comes with a side of rice and there is a lot of meat in the curry. My only complaint is the portion sizes, the bowl of curry that you get didn't really match my expectation for what I was paying. The decor inside was also nice, it gave a cozy feeling and made me want to travel more. read more

Nothing really stood out but it was nice to try since it was blowing up on TikTok. Mango lassi was the best there. Everything was kind of salty.... Their spinach dip naan was flavorful and I like the mint chutney that came with it. Momos weren't as authentic and were pretty salty. Both curries and garlic naan was meh. A little too heavy on the salt for this restaurant however the service was friendly and attentive. read more

So my friends and I go around once a month to try a new place to eat, and this month was for Masala Waves. Instantly coming in, there was no music playing, just people eating. Let that set the tone. The ambience was relatively low light, there was also a mini gift shop at the entrance (LOL?). Service was quick and answered any questions we had. The food was good. My favorite was the goat curry and the spinach dip naan. Honorable mention for the samosas. read more

I've been dying to try this and it was honestly amazing! I walked in and the scenery is beautiful and friendly staff. I started off with the mango lassi to drink and oh wow, i loved it. It honestly tastes like those yogurts drinks in a bottle, but mango flavored. The spinach dip naan, was delicious and crispy. My tip don't eat it all and save some, and pair it with the butter chicken. The fusion of flavors definitely go together. Rice came alongside with the butter chicken. I love spicy but not the point where I can't enjoy the food, so i choose medium. Fast service, kind staff, clean environment, and even provide free feminine products in their clean restrooms! Overall amazing experience, I will most definitely come again. The check cam out to around 43 dollars, and I left feeling very stuffed! Mango lassi: $5, we got 2 Spinach Dip Naan: $9 Butter Chicken: $18 Sprite: $3 read more

Ok. I love this place! The minute you walk in you're greeted with a friendly hello. It's a unique and charming restaurant with a casual atmosphere home atmosphere. The food was fresh and so flavorful! It smelled divine in there and we wanted to try it all! For appetizers we ordered the tikka masala fries - I know what? This was surprisingly tasty and the fries were fresh and crispy! And the Nepal Momo's - very similar to a dumpling. Def a must try. We got the tandoori chicken on the sizzling player! Butter chicken, and garlic naan. Every dish was sooo good! Ask for the yogurt dip on the side! Refreshing and takes the heat out of the dish when it's too spicy. My friend got the Mango Lasse and said it was refreshing like a smoothie. And we ended the dessert with their homemade mango and pistachios ice cream!!! Drool worthy! I will definitely come back! I will crave this place therefore I give it my full 5 stars!! Thank you Masala Waves for an unforgettable feast!!!! read more

The amount of times I eat here is kinda astonishing if I'm being honest and haven't written a review. Crazyyyy. Welll I was in a hunt for some good Indian food and must I say i found my spot in OC. I mainly order to go order and also DoorDash and been to the store a few times but mainly order DoorDash. No complaints!!!! The inside is pretty spacious and has lots and I mean lots of seating!! Very clean as well!! Been eating here since I moved back to OC and I say give it a try you all!!! read more

This place should be way more popular! The hospitality and ambiance is truly something else. Right as you walk in, you skip the wait and are immediately seated and met with friendly service. The restaurant is also kept very clean and thoughtfully decorated with colorful contemporary ornaments and art, reflecting elements of Indian and Nepali culture. All dishes come fresh, hot, and full of robust flavor. For drinks, their mango lassi is a first time must try, carrying a light, rich flavor and delicate texture. I definitely also recommend asking for a few orders of the garlic and spinach naan bread to eat before and during your main courses. My party of four only ordered the butter chicken and lamb masala, but it was quite filling and more than enough to satisfy! Our dishes all came with rice and selectable spice levels, which was a nice accommodation. The dessert was also solid and a pleasant way to end our meal; Pistachio Kulfi is the way to go if you would like to try their dessert. I would also notably mention that this place has many rather interesting items on the menu, like their Masala wings and pizzas, which may be a fun try. I highly recommend if you are looking to expand your taste palette or try Indian food for the first time! read more

We've always ordered Masala Waves via DoorDash (before going to the actual restaurant) and it never disappoints! When we are in the Huntington Beach area, we stop by our favorite Indian/Nepal joint. When we go, we seem to be there during non-busy times. The restaurant is clean, and Indian/Nepal music is played in the background. The staff is extremely welcoming, and attentive. We normally order the naan bread and butter chicken (with rice), but we wanted to try something new which was an appetizer, Spinach Dip Naan. I tell you...this meal was the perfect! It's so comforting and the flavor of the food is exhilarating. Thank you Masala Waves! I had to give you a five-star review :) read more

Best Indian restaurant! We came here as a large group after a high school graduation, and the service was great. The waiters took care of us the entire time, and they were always asking if we wanted refills on rice. They were extremely kind, helpful, and polite. They gave us kulfis on the house due to the graduates. This restaurant is very authentic. Their employees are all from Nepal or India, and the decorations make you feel special. The food was amazing. We ordered a variety of dishes and it truly tasted amazing. It was very flavorful and you can choose the spice level of dishes that you order. Their butter chicken was delicious, momos were tasty, their naan was fresh, lamb vindaloo extremely flavorful, and all dishes were cooked to perfection. Their rice was perfectly fluffy and fragrant. Their restaurant feels incredibly authentic. Their food is cooked in tandoori ovens, the employees are all Nepalese or Indian, and their decorations make you feel at home. Highly recommend!!! We will be coming back. read more
