Masala Craft - Anaheim

Preet ! thank you so much for providing us the best service ever? food was spectacular. will miss your cuisine when we get back to our town. from Malaysia.Food: 5/5

This place was near my hotel while I was staying for a conference. The other restaurants nearby where typical chains like Outback Steakhouse and Red Robin, don't get me wrong those are great options maybe for when I'm back home once in awhile but not when I'm traveling for work or pleasure, I prefer to be more adventurous during those times. I saw this Indian restaurant with good reviews and I am thrilled I decided to check it out. Very casual easy-going atmosphere, and they have a buffet on the weekends, but I went during the week and ordered off the menu. The portions are generous and the pricce are quite reasonable. The samosas are amazing and I wanted the messala spring roll but they were out, so the waiter suggested something else. I wish I had remembered the name, but it looked like a flattened falafel and was excellent! If you don't know what to order ask for a suggestion, I don't think they would steer you wrong. Now for the main dish, the chicken tandoori! It was spectacular! Those spices and onions danced on my pallet. Two people could have easily shared my meal and have left completely satisfied. I want to come back. You need to try this place!!!

Nice place with tasty food. The staff is very friendly. Lots of TVs and Indian movies.Now: two days later, I came back. It was even better.Next time, I am here, I'll be back. ?Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan food available.

Preet greeted me warmly at the door and explained that it was a lunch buffet only. As I was making my first plate, he asked what kind of bread I wanted. I also was served one dish fresh from the back while making my plate.The food was delicious and most were hot and fresh. A few not so much. My guess since they were less popular. The naan was freshly baked in the visible kitchen. One thing that surprised me that was missing the buffet was plain white basmati rice.Another thing missing were labels identifying the food options. I eat everything, so it didn’t phase me. Lastly, I never saw a sign requesting patrons to get a new plate for each visit. Maybe they don’t require it, but where I come from that’s a standard.The atmosphere was small and quaint, but I’m guessing since maybe they were short staffed some tables were still dirty, which was unappealing.I’m from out of town, but if I wasn’t I would return semi-regularly.

The food is disaster , the sofas were not cleaned to sit . It’s does not taste like Indian food . We ordered chicken chaat , mixed veg appetisers and chicken biriyani. Rice is dry not taste like regular biriyani . And mainly the service is so delayed . So much waiting to get food . Kitchen is right in front of the sitting area . Only gulab jamun tastes better
