Masala Cuisine Inc - Oakland

Excellent takeout! Ordered butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, eggplant dish, and okra. Everything freshly prepared and spiced perfectly. Because everything is prepared to order allow at least 30-45 min before pickup but worth the wait. Thought they must have added msg as it was so good but no headache. Bring enough cash. In east Oakland so take precautions.

Nice place for a home style Indian food. This place belongs to a couple and everything is cooked to order, including the samosas. It can be a waiting period (as food is cooked to order) so if you know what you want to go ahead and call in your order, so it will be ready for you. You can ask (and they will accomodate) for less salt, less oil, more/less spicy depending on what you want.

This place is a gem... A small hole-in-the-wall place with limited seating; the food is delicious. This is true north Indian cooking, and they cook what you order from scratch, so everything is freshly made. The spice and oil levels are just right. Places like these are rare.

Superb. Truly outstanding food. Every dish is made to order by one person from scratch. No vats of sauce they’re ladling from she builds up each entree, curry sauce and all, from scratch there in front of you. Thats where the quality comes from, but you should either allow yourself enough time to enjoy the experience at her pace, or just call ahead with your order (for both dine in and take out), and they’ll get started on it before you arrive. The block and the building and the decor are all unassuming, but the food is spectacular. The woman cooking the food is vey nice too. So happy I found this place!

Hands down the best Indian food I've had in the Bay Area. When we come here, we make sure to order 5 or 6 dishes so we can take a bunch of leftovers home and eat it the rest of the week. Yep, it's that good. Leave yourself plenty of time they begin cooking your dishes as soon as you order, so it takes about 45 minutes for your food to come out. BUT it's totally worth the wait. Can't rave enough about this place.
