For drinks I had the cucumber mint lemonade. It's their newest drink. So delicious! It's cold, refreshing, and delivers a burst of flavor in your mouth. A must try! For food I had the chicken tikka masala (mild), half rice, and garlic naan. They also give you a small side salad. The garlic naan was the best I've ever had. So moist and not burnt like a lot of other places. You can easily pull it apart with your fingers as it screams, "eat me! eat me!", with delight. The chicken tikka masala's flavor was amazing! I like to try things mild first to see how they taste. Some places serve bland food and mask it with spiciness. Not here. The flavor is all there. Next time I think I'm going to adventure on the wild side and try the medium and then possibly the spicy. The included salad was simple yet so satisfying. The dressing is definitely unique and packs a punch with the spice level but... I like it. *wink* *wink* hahhaa. The rice was perfection. I hate it when it's not cooked enough and too mushy or overcooked and hard. Originally I was going to eat half tonight and then the other half tomorrow but... I know myself. I would just go to bed, wake up in the middle of the night thinking about it, then not be able to go back to sleep until I finished the rest because it would keep calling my name from the kitchen. Hahahaha. I didnt get to see the inside because I got it to go but I'll let you guys know in an update. The staff there is great and they seem like a very nice family. As I've always said, I'm a huge supporter of family businesses. I'm soooo happy I gave this place a shot. I am not only coming back, I'm definitely going to have them cater some of my parties. Enjoy!

They're thick, they're flavorful, they hit you with the right spice. Normal spice is a white man's medium high so they got their base down which is more than half the battle. They cook the Paneer just right. And really enjoyed the Bartha! That The not so good: the chicken is way overcooked, I don't know if it's breast or thigh, but it definitely tasted like a dried out breast. Possibly using the tandoori and just dropping it into the gravy, but a perfectly cooked chicken thigh would take the chicken tikka masala to the moon. Second, the Paneer portion size was a joke. Maybe six cubes in the whole deal. Needs to be at least double. I'm ready to try again you gotta protect your meats!

We got the mild spicy chicken momos and the medium spicy chickpea curry (channa masala). If I could redo it, I'd probably switch the spice levels, go medium on the momos and mild on the chickpeas. The curry had a real kick, and I think milder would pair better with rice for smoother sailing. Overall, the food met our expectations. Interestingly, the momos actually tasted better the second day, the sauce felt more balanced after sitting overnight. We'd order from them again. Not a top-tier, must-save spot, but solid and dependable. My only real complaint is the garlic naan, $4.50 for about 1.5 smaller pieces felt skimpy. At that price, two full pieces would feel more reasonable. Naan is kind of foundational, like an Italian restaurant being stingy with bread. It just leaves a slightly off first impression.

He made the experience even more welcoming! FOOD: The food is absolutely delish. The chicken curry? Perfect. Just make sure to get a level of spice you can handle as my friend ordered some and didn't lol. The garlic Naan (my favorite) was excellent ! perfect balance of crisp and fluff. But I have to rave about 2 things, the vegetable dish and the history! 2 FAV THINGS: -I didn't order the vegetable dish but I WISH I had. It's like this wonderful looking stew. It looks packed with flavor and...curry? We also learned how long the restaurant has been in the area for. My memory blows, but I think he said 1990. -I love that it's very much a family business from what I was told. Not everyone eats at the restaurant they own. However, apparently the owner here does along with his fam. I'm just very into community and family so that's always nice to hear. AMBIANCE: The restaurant is small and cozy with what seems like traditional music playing :-). The guys in the kitchen also seem very polite as I went past them to use the bathroom. Which was spotless :-). Only suggestion & question: 1.)I can't recall if they have a changing table? And as a new mother I look out for that all the time hehe. Also, I'm not sure about parking. I take a ride-share when I'm there. They are on a hill and might have parking in the back? 2.)I have never been there to see if/when they do a buffet, but the menu is awesome. Something for everyone. If you are in the area and want some delicious authentic Indian food that's a part of the community, this is for you. And if your not sure about ingredients, just ask :-). Enjoy!

I have to start by saying, I eat pretty much EVERYTHING from every cuisine, but in general, I have…read morenever liked Indian food. Just being honest. The smell and flavors have never appealed to me, but I decided to come out of my comfort zone and try something different. Plus for some reason everyone is all about the butter chicken right now and I've been wanting to try it. So I ordered Uber eats from here since its close and popular. I think Im converted. I played it safe and ordered butter chicken, chicken Tikka masala and garlic naan. It was all amazing! Again I don't have anything to compare it to cause I don't generally eat it but It was delicious to me. I did expect some level of spice/heat which would have been nice but there was none, but again Im not familiar with the dish. My only gripe is I paid about $40 before Uber charges and expected the naan to be included or at least RICE. Nothing, I paid $6 extra for 2 little pieces of naan, not nearly enough to finish the meal and felt a little ripped off. I would like to go back in person and maybe get a combo or special or something not available on the app to see if I get more for my money.

If you judge a restaurant by trendy decor or a packed dining room, you might overlook Mutiara Food…read more& Market. One reviewer described the place as "barren," and honestly, it is quiet and low-key. But that's part of the charm for me. Not every restaurant needs to be another overly curated, gentrified "hip" spot with hip signs and then charge an arm and a leg for the food. Something is refreshing about the tranquility here, a calm place where you can actually enjoy your meal and conversation. The place is also very clean. The owner is also incredibly friendly, and I enjoy chatting with him. This place has soul. My rating is solely on the food, consistent with all reviews. More importantly, the food delivers solid value, especially given that everything is halal, and the menu blends Malaysian, Burmese, Thai, and other Southeast Asian influences. Kueh Teow Goreng - 3/5. This dish is essentially the Malaysian/Indonesian cousin of Pad See Ew. The noodles were well-balanced in flavor - savory without becoming overly salty - and the beef was tender and paired nicely with the dish. The rice noodles are fresh. While it didn't quite reach the smoky "wok hei" heights that make the best versions unforgettable, it was still satisfying and thoughtfully prepared. Goat Curry - 3/5. I also tried the goat curry, which I enjoyed quite a bit. They use the right cuts of goat meat: tender, bone-in pieces that add depth and richness to the curry. The spice balance was good and comforting without overpowering the dish. I do wish the curry had a bit more tang and heartiness to push it to the next level, but overall, it was flavorful and enjoyable. The naan served alongside it was fresh, though I personally would've liked it a little fluffier. Overall, Mutiara Food & Market serves good, honest food at affordable prices. It may not be flashy, but it offers something increasingly rare: comforting halal Southeast Asian food in a peaceful, unpretentious setting.

I had heard great…read morethings from reviews and even had family member recommend their pizza, so we finally decided to give it a shot. For our first visit, my daughter suggested the Tandoori Tikka Pizza (Tandoori Chicken). We also ordered the Halal Chicken Wings, Garlic Naan, and a small salad. Right away, the smell when you walk in is incredible, and the staff greets you immediately, which made a great first impression. Now for the food -- the pizza was delicious with the perfect amount of toppings. The sweet and tangy BBQ sauce really brought everything together. I personally would've liked a little more cheese, but the crust was cooked perfectly with a nice chewy texture. The wings were another standout that both my wife and I really enjoyed. Slightly crispy on the outside while still delicate and moist inside, with a mild heat from the spices that wasn't overpowering. The naan was decent with a good garlic flavor, although it was a bit thin for my preference. The salad was fresh and delicious -- we always appreciate having plenty of vegetables with our meals. Overall, definitely recommend checking them out. Next time we're planning to try the Butter Chicken Pizza.

First time customers deserve better:…read more My husband and I visited for the first time recently. The restaurant was empty when we arrived, and our server invited us to choose any table. She immediately brought over two bottles of water and asked if it was our first visit. We said yes. She went over the menu in some detail. She did not ask if we wanted a drink, nor did she mention that the bottled water she had already placed on our table would be added to the bill. We ordered the lamb tikka pizza and the bhindi masala. The food was decent, but not remarkable. Portions felt a bit light for the price. The pizza crust was more like a crunchy pita, and the toppings were sparse. The okra was decent. Overall, I'd give the food 3 stars. The reason for my 1-star review is the way the restaurant handles water. We were automatically given bottled water before we had even looked at the menu, and at no point were we told there would be a charge. When the bill arrived, we discovered we'd been charged $1.50 for each 12-ounce plastic bottle. We had three, for a total of $4.50. This isn't about the money. It's about transparency. In most restaurants, water is provided as a courtesy, so presenting bottled water immediately to first-time customers without mentioning a charge feels misleading. If bottled water is the only water option available, that should be clearly communicated upfront. To make matters worse, there's a prominent sign stating that outside beverages are not allowed, which presumably includes bringing your own water bottle. After paying our bill and leaving a 20% tip, we suggested that first-time customers be informed about the water charge when they're seated. The response was a shrug and, "It's in the menu." Maybe it is. But if you're going to place bottled water on the table before customers have even opened the menu, the courteous thing to do is mention that it isn't complimentary. A simple heads-up would have avoided the entire issue.

Both combos included rice, salad, soup, tea, and bottled water. They also usually come with a banana, but unfortunately we didn't get them because they were not ripe at the time. The portions were massive! You can honestly share one combo for 2 people. Going down each combo component: Goat: My favorite of the meats. It was super tender, moist, and flavorful. A bit too fatty for my liking, but still good. Lamb: A little less tender than the goat, but still flavorful and good. Also less fat than the goat which was nice. Tea: Delicious tea. It was sweet and warm. Unlimited refills which is nice. I would come back regularly for the tea if I could. Rice: Soft, flavorful and also soaks up the flavor from the meats. Salad: A nice, crisp, and refreshing element to cut the fatty and savory meats. Soup: Flavorful and tangy which I liked. Also helped to cut the heavy meat and rice. Both of the meats were covered in veggies like onions and tomatoes which were yummy. The dishes also came with a spicy sauce which was nice, but can get a bit too spicy for me. For $19.99 for each combo, this is such as steal considering the portion sizes and meats. The service here was great and I felt very welcomed by the lady serving us. The restaurant itself isn't the cleanest and most modern place, but it is a great hole in the wall type of vibe. Parking can be a bit tricky, but there should be free neighborhood street parking nearby. Overall, a great experience here and I would recommend and come back!
