This was my first time ever trying Indian food, and I don't think I could've picked a better place…read more The guy at the front was incredibly friendly and helped me decide what to order. I originally planned on getting the chicken tikka masala, but he confidently recommended the fried momos and the butter chicken, saying they were two of the best things on the menu. He wasn't exaggerating. I ordered the fried momos, butter chicken, garlic naan, and got the medium spice level. Every single bite was incredible. I honestly don't even know how to describe the flavors because I've never tasted anything like it. The butter chicken was unbelievably rich and flavorful, the momos were amazing, and the garlic naan was so good I immediately wished I had ordered more. I even found myself thinking the medium spice level was perfect because it let all of the flavors shine instead of just focusing on heat. I probably could've handled more spice, but I honestly wouldn't change a thing. My only complaint is that I got full before I wanted to stop eating. I was genuinely upset that my stomach tapped out before I did. If you're debating what to order, you honestly can't go wrong, but if someone there recommends the butter chicken and fried momos... trust them. I'll definitely be coming back.

I ordered two of the dishes spicy (not the highest level), unfortunately the momo and paneer or almost inedible were the amount of spice in the dish!

Overall, I do not feel like I will order from this place again.

My favorite food is…read moreIndian food and I have been wanting to try this little hole on the wall family restaurant ever since it opened almost a year ago only 2 miles from my house. For date night, my boyfriend and I enjoyed a massive and authentic dinner for about $50, including tax and tip. Our food was clearly made with love from the namesake, "Desi mama," who personally waited on us and cooked our delicious dinners. My bf and I ordered kashmiri naan (a fruit, nut, and coconut naan - get this!!) and two orders of thali, (one chicken and one lamb), which is basically a generous sampler of delicious Indian food and meat curry. We loved everything, although the mango pickle was a little tough and we think the yogurt would have been better if it was a rice or tapioca yogurt instead of plain, but overall, Desi Mama gets a 9/10! We had more than enough food for yummy leftovers the next day. I am planning on getting dinner here again this weekend :) support local!

The door is wonky though...super heavy and opens weird. They have a lot of different options and premade bowls. For someone who is not very familiar with Indian food, this place makes it easy to customize and try out stuff. Nothing was too spicy or too overspiced, thankfully. Everything tasted relatively fresh but the portions are too small for the price. It's not like at Chipotle or Cilantro where they fill up your bowl. I almost never finish my portion in one sitting but I had no problem doing so here. I wish there were more veggie toppings and not just pickled ones. Scallions and cilantro would be great options to have. The mango lassi was delicious but so small. The inside is high ceilinged, spacious and has plenty of seating. The big group bench in the middle had such heavy and had awkward block seats. They were hard to get in and out of and were so uncomfortable.

Men absolutely mess up the restrooms and women bear the brunt of it. Petition to go back to restrooms specific to the sexes.

The North Olmsted location has a weekend lunch buffet, which my wife and I love. Beachwood does not, BUT they have something better. I can't remember what they call it, but it's a combination of entrees, rice, bread and dessert for one price $17 or $18. You can get it as Vegetarian or non-vegetarian. It comes on a big round "bowl/dish" with smaller bowls inside (like a large masala dabba, if you know what that is). The portions are perfect. They may look small at first, but you will get full! Beachwood is a more upscale version of SP. N. Olmsted is also very nice, but a little more of a casual atmosphere. My wife and I love both of them. We just tried the Beachwood location last weekend, and it was sooooo delicious. The atmosphere is very nice, and the staff was great. Try it!!!

Masala Monsoon is a GORGEOUS, upscale Indian restaurant that opened only a year ago in Parma, Ohio…read more Seriously, check out the other reviews on here - so many people mention just how pretty the interior is. I came with a large group- 11 other women from a foodie women's group I am a part of - for a birthday celebration in August 2026. We made reservations in advance and didn't have any trouble finding availability for that day and time. The interior is very large and there is lots of seating. We had a designated server who took our orders and waited on us and he was very friendly! I didn't buy a drink but I tried a friend's mango lassi which was so creamy and rich! I thought about getting myself a masala chai but was too cheap to. I ordered myself a basket of tandoori roti which was glazed with butter ($4) to start off with. Others at my table ordered appetizers as well, including someone who bought a flight of pani puri. This flight made for great pictures! For my main, I got the Pubjabi chicken dish, medium spice, which came with a side of basmati rice ($20). Everyone who tried sone of my dish loved it, as did I! I was very happy with my choice. I also had enough for leftovers, although granted, I was filled up on roti bread. To our surprise, our waiter surprised us all with two servings of their signature Indian dessert, gulab jamon, for a complimentary birthday treat! I love gulab jamon, which are small honey balls of spongey cake, and have had them many times before. The gratuity was included automatically due to the size of our party. My check came out to about $32, which is not bad for how good the food and the service was! I highly recommend dining here for yourself. There's plenty of room for large parties!

This place serves up some tasty fusion vittles. We requested two different lassis - the mango and the sweet. They were both very tasty. We were also given water. For dinner, we requested tandoori chicken pizza, Amritsari fish fry, and hariyali kabob. A little while later, the food arrived. It looked really appetizing. The hariyali kabobs had an incredible flavor and the fruity, spicy sauce was delicious. Loved those. The fish fry was tasty and also came with a yummy sauce. The pizza had a great flavor as well and I really liked it. I would like to try other pizzas and other dishes. We'll definitely be back because this place has a menu worth exploring. Yum! Our server was incredibly friendly.

I don't live nearby, so a return trip isn't likely--but if I did, I'd be a regular, working my way through the menu like a mission. Delicious food. No frills. Quiet magic.

We ordered takeout and I was so excited since I love Indian. When we arrived the food was not ready and the place was dimly lite and completely empty. It was over lunch time so I was concerned when it was empty. We paid and took the food home to eat. Both dishes we got were oddly colored and had little to no meat. The rice was horrible, the sauce had no flavor. It honestly was inedible. I took one bite and spit it out. It smelled weird and rancid, and was so awful I feared we would get food poisoning. This place should be shut down, Dingy dark, the back room is filled with trash it looks like. Oh and besides inedible food you pay a lot for the food you get it's overpriced.
