The food here was OK nothing special. The Tikka Masala tasted like any other place. The tandoori chicken tasted off. I could not eat it. Garlic Naan is OK. The vibe in the restaurant was lively with 80s music playing. It was crowded on a Saturday night. Service was a bit chaotic. Multiple people would ask if we needed anything then they would disappear. The item we asked for would never arrive unless we asked again. I really miss the original Indian restaurant that was there. Probably will not visit again and try other Indian places in Issaquah. read more

We decided to try Masthi for date night. Parking was nearby and had lots of space. When we entered, the restaurant was expertly decorated with an exotic botanical feel. It really was beautiful in all areas and the music was authentic and the perfect volume. We ordered the tandoori chicken and it arrived at the table sizzling on the iron plate. It was the best we'd ever had, full of spices and fall off the bone tender. The server was great with tips and I liked that we could adjust the spiciness. Next was the lamb keema biryani. Again, excellent flavor and we loved the sauces served with it. The raita was just right. The garlic naan was fresh and hot. For dessert, we ordered the mango lassi, chai tea, and shared the rasmalai dessert. All excellent quality with perfect texture, temperature, snd sweetness. We were very impressed. The only reason I gave only four stars instead of an enthusiastic five, is because when we entered we were excited to sit down in the beautiful dining room to enjoy our first meal there. Instead we just kept going and were led further and further back until we reached the sports bar area and were seated with no one else around for the whole meal. There was seating available in the main dining room. It felt very isolated and detracted from our overall experience. We'll be back but next time we'll request to be seated with the general population. That aside, I highly recommend! read more

Friendly staff, great food, loud music. Ordered Karampodi chicken and it came out within 5 mins. A fiery, red chilli , red colored chicken appetizer. It was spicy and the boneless chicken tasted delicious! The masala dosa was little bigger than anticipated and came with good coconut and tomato chutney along with Sambhar. The plain naan was perfect and so was the kadai vegetable. Lastly, the one we love. The fry piece chicken biryani was flavorful and loved the biryani. The rasamalai cake was good but not for folks who don't like Indian sweets! Lots of parking and the music is pretty loud in case you are looking for a quite place read more

What a pleasant surprise! Reading the reviews for this place had my wife and I on the fence about trying it. We live in the area and we're excited to have a great Indian option on the hillside. We loved everything we ate. We had the 555 chicken biryani, vegetarian samosas and the chicken tikka masala. The service was good and the ambience was lovely. My wife had a rum cocktail and it was incredible. We're looking forward to our next meal there, especially since it's in walking distance. read more

Masthi Bar & Grill - Masthi's Special Chicken Biryani Combo Fam - Indian Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

came here around 8:30 PM on a monday night, so it was very quiet. They had one direction songs playing the whole time which I loved (they know me so well)! the place is very spacious and the food is delicious. i know people use this space to host events which is a great idea. the food comes out really quickly. we got the gobi manchurian to start with & it was delicious. the sauce was just slightly spicy and the cauliflower was very crispy. for main we got the paneer 555 biryani which was good, but i think i would prefer a curry with rice instead. it comes with raita which is good bc it was pretty spicy. i'm not the biggest biryani fan so i wouldn't get this again. my friend got the chicken chettinad curry which was good and it comes with rice. we also ordered a side or plain naan which tastes exactly like what u would expect. i would order the gobi manchurian again but probably try a different main option next time. our total was around $70 including tip which is a decent price for 2 mains and an app. read more

My boyfriend and I hungrily came here this past week after playing tennis nearby and craving Indian food for dinner. This was our first time at Masthi. Masthi took over the old Red Robin location in Issaquah, across from Costco. It's a huge establishment and they kept all the original booths but added a bar at the front. I don't recall if they are using the original red Red Robin chairs or if they are new.The interior decor has been updated to fit the ambiance There is plenty of parking as they have their own private lot. We ordered the.. GARLIC NAAN- super fresh and super garlicky- in the picture, you can see all the minced garlic stuck on each slice! We ended up ordering two orders of this because it was so good and great for dipping into the curry! BUTTER CHICKEN (spicy)- butter chicken is our classic go-to and so we got this with and with a spice level of spicy (note that their range is medium, spicy, and extra spicy). The butter chicken was creamy and had great tomato flavor. However, it was just a tad too sweet for my liking. Regardless, the chicken was tender and the dish was very flavorful overall. MURGH MUGHALAI (medium spicy)- this was our waiter's suggestion as we wanted to try something new and different from our usual butter chicken. He said that this was a popular curry. We actually ended up liking this curry more than the butter chicken as it was more complex in flavors. It was savory, spicy, creamy and everything a good curry should be. Googling it, it supposedly contains ghee, onions, cashews, garlic, ginger, green chilies and chicken. We would order this again. Service was excellent, but we came at 5:30pm before the dinner rush started to hit. Our waiter came by several times to drop off a water canteen and to check in on us. He was very friendly. In total, our bill came to $59 including tax and tip. We were stuffed by the end and so it was definitely good value for a good meal. The only reason I take one star off is that their bathroom is clean, but it smells to the point where you have to hold your breath. They need an air freshener or something. This is also the one part they have not updated since Red Robin as it looks extremely retro and even has the "Red Robin employees must wash their hands" sign still on the inside of the bathroom door. Overall: 4/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 3/5 for atmosphere read more

My family has come to Masthi several times since it opened and we are absolutely obsessed with their food. It's gotten to a point where my dad asks to come to this restaurant at least once a week, and honestly, I'm with him on that. Our go-to appetizers are the Chicken 65 and the Masala Fries. I love their take on masala fries and how perfectly seasoned they are. Whenever they arrive at the table, they are gobbled up pretty quickly. For drinks, I love their cosmopolitan, it's the perfect shade of pink and tastes so smooth and citrusy. My parents also love their cocktails, especially the Jalapeno margarita. My mom loves the nimbu pani / lemon soda they offer too. For mains, we love the Chicken Tikka Masala and order it with a side of perfectly fluffy garlic naans. If there are any masala fries left, we also love dipping it in the curry, if you haven't tried that yet, I totally would, your taste buds will thank you. We also love to order the Apollo Shrimp, it's a little too spicy for me, but I love that mouth on fire feeling while I'm wiping away my tears. We love this restaurant and will continue to come back! read more

Great location with a late evening Desi option finally available in Issaquah - food taste and quality needs to be better - dishes are too greasy and chicken tandoori hard to chew - hope they fix it as its a great dining location option read more

Got a bunch of things from here as takeout. Most dishes were a solid OK. The goat dum biryani was decent, as was the veg dum biryani. Neither were remarkable, but they'll pass. The chicken fry piece biryani was terrible, hard pass on it. The spice mix caked onto the chicken was not at all flavorful and none of the aroma ha permeated into the rice below. The Methi Cheman was just spicy with no other flavors coming through. The cut mirchi had a excessively thick and dense batter that again didn't taste very nice. The naans were decent as was the chicken tikka, and the mango lassi was great. Overall, the food was very unremarkable. There are much better Indian food options in the area, even in Issaquah I feel Maharaja and Naan n Curry are consistently better. read more

We were here at 4pm on a Friday. We ordered mostly appetizers which were pleasantly tasty. Soya chap, gobi manchurian, paneer sliders, paneer nachos and samosa. Everything tasted good. Prices were reasonable and decor was good. Service was excellent. Ask for Sabin as your waiter, he helped us pick our appetizers and drinks. He came by multiple times, refilled water, cleared plates and even cleaned the table before dessert. The bartender was also very pleasant. read more

This is becoming our go to place for late dinner since its open until 1AM. Food was good. We are vegetarian and ordered Gobi Manchurian, Street style Noodles and Ghee Podi Dosa. All three were on the spicy side. Gobi Manchurian was the best of them. Service here is usually disappointing. We had to asked a few times for water. Since menu, ordering and payment are available online, it can be worked around. Ambiance of this place along with mostly South Asian guests reminds of upscale Indian Restaurants in Delhi. They have a large space and we go in after 9PM so never had to wait for more than 5 minutes. read more

A great place for Indian cuisine -- and one of the few with karaoke! Things tried till now: Paneer Chilli, Hyderabadi Chicken Curry, Malai Kofta with Garlic Naan, Garlic Fried Rice, Chilli Baby Corn, Vegetable Hakka Noodles, and Chai. Verdict: The Paneer Chilli was spot on -- crisp yet tender paneer, tossed in a perfectly balanced mix of spice and tang. The Hyderabadi Chicken Curry is a definite highlight: rich, bold, and authentically spicy, but not for the faint-hearted. The Malai Kofta fell short -- a bit bland and lacking the richness you'd expect. It paired decently with the Garlic Naan, which was soft and well-made. The Indo-Chinese offerings were impressive. The Garlic Fried Rice had depth of flavor without being overly oily, while the Vegetable Hakka Noodles nailed that classic Indian street-style taste. The Chilli Baby Corn was decent but slightly heavy on masala. The Chai was warm and soothing -- a nice way to end the meal. Service: Quick and efficient. Ambience: Lively with Indian music playing in the background. The added touch of karaoke and live music on Wednesdays and Thursdays makes it a uniquely enjoyable dining experience. read more

Super tasty food, with a huge menu to choose from. I thought their indochinese menu was just great, the gobi manchurian was a highlight of the evening. Their curries were good, but keep in mind that they said the rice that came with the curry is meant to be shared between people. I thought the biryani was good, it was a different style than what I'm normally used to as the meat was sauced and layered on top with no whole spices in the rice. Very different experience! read more

While Masthi may have taken over the building, both the exterior and interior of the restaurant are still so reminiscent of what was formerly Red Robin. That said, there is a large amount of seating in the main dining space, a roomy bar area, and some tables out on the patio. I was surprised at how quiet it was during peak lunch time, so our group got seated immediately and we essentially had the entire waitstaff to ourselves. As much as I enjoy Indian cuisine, I actually don't eat it as often as I'd like, so it was a treat to dine family-style and try a number of items! + MIX VEG PAKODA ($10.99): A variety of vegetables were covered in a chickpea and rice flour batter. They had a nice crispy texture although the batter seemed a bit thick and overpowered the natural taste of the vegetables. + CHICKEN MAJESTIC ($16.99): Deep-fried pieces of chicken were covered in a tangy spicy sauce which was so flavorful and brought a mild heat. I probably could have eaten the entire plate of this addicting appetizer. + 65 BIRYANI ($16.99): Deep-fried chicken in a chili sauce came packed on top of a fragrant bed of rice. While tender, the chicken was shockingly red to the point of being artificially colored. The rice was okay, but pretty light in flavor compared to other biryanis I've had elsewhere. + GOAT CURRY ($18.99): This comforting curry was full of warm spices and contained a fair amount of goat. It also had a surprising heat... nothing extreme, but more of a slow burn. + GARLIC NAAN ($4.49): This thin-ish naan had a crispy bottom and a substantial amount of chopped garlic on top. I would have liked it to be a little softer, but flavor-wise it was on par with your standard naan. + CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA ($17.99): As expected, this creamy tomato-based curry with tender chicken paired nicely with the rice and naan. Considering the prices, the serving sizes of our dishes seemed smaller than what I'd expect, but for the most part, I enjoyed everything we ordered. If you're on the hunt for a new Indian restaurant, it's worth giving Masthi a try. read more

Ordered baby-corn chatpata, paneer kebab appetizers. Unique taste, not the regular Manchurian or dry. Garlic naan and malai kofta was flavorful and naan was tasty. 555 paneer biriyani was delicious.

We came here for Christmas dinner . The service and food were great. We ordered the fiery tikka wings, majestic chicken, cheese naan , and garlic naan for appetizers. My favorite were the wings and naan. Everything had wonderful flavor and the majestic chicken had big bites of chicken. We ordered two curries one was buttered chicken and the other started with an m I cannot recall the name. The second curries I wish had more egg. Both flavorful. We ordered both of these in mild so our kids can eat some. They were still spicy my older kids could tolerate it but my younger two didn't. They enjoyed the rice and naan. For dessert we ordered the brownie sundae and another fruity ice cream both delicious and we all enjoyed. My only complaint was the heat. It was freezing in there we had to go to the car and get additional coats for all of us. The other table near us expressed concerns about the heat . We will be back, but will only bring our older kids due to the spicyness of the food or a date night without the kids. Hopefully they can figure out the heat in the building. It's uncomfortable wearing two coats and dinner. read more

We tried this place on a weekday for dinner. The ambience is pretty good with Bollywood and Tollywood music. Service is good. The staff were friendly. Food: We ordered soya chap, mix veg fried rice, crispy corn. This was my first time having soya chap and really loved it. It was amazing, my friends loved it too. Fried rice was pretty good, although it had lots and lots of peas ! Although they gave another order of fried rice without peas which was very nice of them. Drinks: Cocktails and mock-tails were pretty good too. read more

We chose to eat at Masthi because we noticed on yelp that they're open late. It's kinda weird that it's located in an old Red Robin... the restaurant is huge and feels very American. But the food is very Indian and delicious. The service was ok, but the fact that they use an online ordering/pay system felt awkward. So Red Robin used to be here. I saw that fact in some of the reviews and heard it from a local. But then when I used the restroom, they still had Red Robin signage in the bathrooms, so that was kinda weird. We were told when we were seated that the wait for food was 30 mins. They looked pretty busy, but there were definitely open tables, so I think they have a staffing shortage. We were given a physical menu and used the QR code to look at the menu. The variety of menu options is quite extensive, so the online menu is a little hard to read on your phone, however, the menu items don't exactly match the physical menu and the prices are all over the place. The prices I saw on yelp were cheaper than what was posted online, etc. We decided on a few different curries, naan and a biryani. We also got mango lassi. It came out to about $35 per person. It's a little on the pricey side I think. It was cool to come with a bunch of other people because we were able to try so many things. The curries were chose were flavorful and perfect with the naan. I liked the chicken dum biryani too. There seemed to be a bit of miscommunication because halfway through our meal, I had to wave someone down to ask about the mango lassi that never came. The server brought back one instead of the 3 we ordered. Kind of irritating, but once asked, the guy brought them out quickly. Maybe I just don't like the whole online ordering process. read more

This is a very nice restaurant. Now, I have no clue what was ordered. My son is Vegetarian, so he ordered the appetizers. We got the ones with the Jalapeno's in it. I didn't get any heat (but don't go off my taste buds, I can take some heat) This dish wasn't bad, but I'm so glad, we got this one first! lol Now the star of the show came out! This dish had so much flavor, I have no clue what vegetable it is! I have no idea, the name of it! We both said, all we needed, was this dish, with a side of rice, and we would have been good. I got the chicken masala, and my son got the paneer masala, mine was ok. I tasted my son's his was better. I felt like my chicken was on the tough side. Customer service was amazing! My only thing, there was some kids running around the restaurant, playing hide and seek! And yelling, like they were outside! I couldn't believe, no one said anything to those kids. I think next time we will sit in the bar area.....Just in case! read more

It is a health hazard eating from here!!!! We have been regularly visiting here and we have fallen sick from the food three times - each time we gave them the benefit of doubt. The stench you smell when you get into the restaurant has been going on for over a year from their broken bathroom. The septic tank smell emanates into the restaurant and they try to put air diffusers to try and limit it, but it stinks. Their food quality has gotten so bad, health authorities need to shut it down at once! read more

My friend and I haven't had Indian food for a while, so we decided to meet up here for dinner. We made it right before happy hour ending at 6pm, so we both started off with a Masthi Cooler. We both thought it was okay; probably wouldn't order that drink again. But we did enjoy our food. I got the Chicken Chettinadu, extra spicy, 5 out of 4 stars, but I didn't really find it spicy. My friend got the Paneer Tikka Masala. And we got the Garlic Naan and Bullet Naan to share. We liked the Bullet Naan better out of the two. Service was excellent. Staff was super friendly and helpful. read more

After more than a year in business, I've ordered from this restaurant a few more times. Unfortunately, the issues I mentioned in my previous review remain unresolved, and new ones have arisen. Like Niharika R. noted, the goat curry I received had almost no meat, just one chunk amidst a lot of fat and tendons (see pictures). Additionally, the curry had an unusually thick gravy. Similar to Niharika's experience, despite placing a takeout order to be picked up more than an hour later, I still had to wait over 20 minutes upon arrival. The prices also run somewhat high. 2-stars because their Dum Biryani isn't half bad, and one star comparing their food to other restaurants in the area. read more

Honestly, this was the worst food experience I've ever had. It was a special day and I invited my friends for dinner, but everyone ended up completely disappointed. I spent $180 on a to-go order for 8 people and not one dish was worth it. The appetizers (baby corn, chilli paneer, chicken 65 dry, and karapodi chicken) had no salt, were dripping with oil, and were hard to eat. The Chicken Masti Special Family Pack biryanis were even worse -- stale, smelly, and inedible. The only thing that was slightly better was the Veg Special Biryani, which I'd rate 3/5, but that doesn't make up for the rest. What made it worse was the response -- when I told the staff about these issues, they didn't even care. On a day that was supposed to be special, their food and service completely ruined it. For $180, I expected decent food and at least some concern for customer feedback, but got neither. Never ordering from here again and I strongly advise others to avoid this place. read more

I came to the all you can eat buffet a few weeks ago and had a ball! It was really great to be able to try a little bit of all the wonderful foods Masthi has to offer. It was hard to not try everything, but they offered a wide variety of dishes, for both meat eaters and vegetarians alike. They had plenty of savory foods and it smelled so good. I enjoyed all my food with some of their house chai. Come to Masthi with as many stomachs as you can-their flavors are excellent, as is their service and overall experience. They have some creative cocktails as well-I can't return soon enough. read more
