My favorite Indian food!

by kimgebauer at Citysearch

I love this place. I order from them about once a month. I've gotten so many people addicted to this restaurant. Unfortunately, they've set the bar so high with their food that I have a difficult time eating at other Indian restaurants.

I can't really speak to the dine-in experience as I normally order take-out or delivery. These guys know us by name, face, and caller ID. There have been a couple of time that they didn't have a delivery driver. This isn't usually a huge deal-breaker. I live very close and can simply walk to pick it up. There have been a couple of times, though, that I haven't been able to leave the house because I've got a sleeping or sick kid and I can't get away. They didn't tell me so, but I can tell they pulled someone from their other duties to deliver my order. They always take really good care of us. I am going to miss this place when we get stationed elsewhere!

Love the food, but the management is horrible

by keith_sink at Citysearch

My wife and I have been to this restaurant 4 times. The food is fabulous. This last time we had a coupon that they send out once a month. As per the coupon we gave it to our server. The food was excellend and the wait staff was great. However after our meal we received our bill which did not include our discount. I told the server about the error and she went back to the manager. The manager was right behind us and said. "If they don't have the coupon in their hand right now, we don't give any discount. Tell them that." I was appalled. Their own coupon says to give it to your server before the meal is ordered, which we did. After some argument they finally "found" the coupon and gave us the discount. The manager then said, "well rules are rules, I'm sure you understand". This ruined our experience and we're telling everyone about how horrible the management is here.

I really hate how these restaurants try this bait and switch with their own coupons. There is a restaurant in Woodinville called Jose's that did the same thing (4 out of 5 times) they would "forget" their coupon. If not for the great food at this restaurant they would be out of business many years ago. Be warned.

  • Pros: Great food.
  • Cons: Horrible customer service from management.

eHHH Its okay

by seihcnum at Citysearch

Ive had two experiences with Masala of India. First, some coworkers and I went and each ordered the buffet. Not such a good idea. The buffet did not have the sanitary level as high as I would like; for example, there was a bowl of rice pudding just sitting on the table with no sneezequards and no means of keeping the pudding cold and just not looking too appetizing. The food was okay for what I ate. They had a couple american foods in the buffet along with the rest which kind of confused me but whatev. The second time I ordered delivery <<Bad idea>>. Billed me for things i didnt order and didnt include some sauces. That ticked me off. If you want indian delivered, you can find some good ones on some internet delivery sites.

  • Pros: Decent food, meh
  • Cons: terrrrriiiiibbbbbllllllleeeeeee delivery service
