Masala Art is simply the BEST Indian restaurant I have ever been to. The food is absolutely fabulous and delicious. They have so many options to choose from, even during their buffet lunch, that it will be nearly impossible to settle for just a few dishes. I have never had a bad meal or experience here. I have

Love the yellow Dahl. Normally not one of my favorite dishes at all, it is incredible here. The lunch buffet is great at least 4 vegetarian options plus dessert and apps. They put out the mint dip which I don't always see at buffets. Their korma is also great. I haven't had a dish i didn't like but the Dahl is incredible. Great service.

We recently ordered takeout from Masala Art and were pleasantly surprised. We had the Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, and the Lamb Biryani. All three entrees were delicious, and the chicken was very tender. The lamb was also tender, but the biryani had way too many cloves in it, which overwhelmed the dish a bit. I would agree with other reviewers that the prices were on the steep end. I noted that there were only 3 customers in total in the restaurant when I picked up our food order. Since they are probably struggling to stay afloat during Covid, I didn't mind paying the higher

I have been very impressed with Masala Arts focus on customer. We had selected them as our caterers for my daughter's wedding in May 2021. It is my son-in-law's favorite Indian Restaurant in the Boston area. We selected them early and put a deposit to hold the date very early (2019). The pandemic hit and we realized we could not have a big gathering in May of 2021.
Masala Art (Sorabh, the manager / owner) was very accommodating / reasonable. We discussed a few options for my deposit refund. We aligned on a plan and he has continued to deliver on his commitments. I am very pleased

I don't like being ripped off. Their food is good but extremely overpriced. They have luncheon specials, however the DO NOT bring any of the accompaniments: no raita, naan, papadum or dessert. You end up paying $19 for a main course. The wait staff leave your table so fast you have no time for questions.
Will not be back.

Waste of time. on a bright sunny day the rude waiters unable to speak proper English turned us away from outdoor seating saying it was too cold and outdoor seating in evening only. Sooooo.. too cold at 1 PM but ok in dark. They lost some business and also proved they are not made to survive this pandemic. Update your times online or on site, very misleading. Byebye.

Was recommended this restaurant by a friend. And it did not disappoint. When we walked in here there were only the staff there. The staff here is probably the best I have seen at an Indian restaurant. They are friendly and very attentive. We ordered Gobi Manchurian and Spinich Spring rolls for appetizers. I have never had Spinich Springs rolls at an Indian restaurant. I am glad I ordered them, it was something different that you don't see at other Indian restaurants. For our entrees, we ordered Methi mali Mutter, Paneer Machani, and Garlic Chilly Nan. If you go here order the Methi

Great lunch deals! You get a lot on the luncheon menu.
The taste could use a little more flavor. For an Indian place I found a lot of what I had to be good but a bit bland and not very memorable.
My parents loved the place so that's just my opinion. Would definitely recommend for a good and easy to choose lunch since you get so many options with the platter!

We were very happy when an Indian restaurant opened near us and Masala Art does not dissapoint. I have been getting takeaway from here all year and every time has been delicious and ready when I arrived. A lovely family-run business, you can tell they put their hearts into their food. Great veggie options!

I had picked up food yesterday from Masala Art. The quality and taste of food was very good. You can make out the freshness of the sauces and main ingredients. I have to specially mention about the tikka’s. They were all very good. Quality of Paneer was excellent, really like homemade. Environment friendly packing is also much appreciated.
Hope to dine in the restaurant very soon.

My husband and I ordered takeout from here, deciding it was time to give it a second chance. Especially because so many of our friends say they love it...
They are more expensive than some other places (each item is at least $2-$3 more), but MUCH closer to our house. The food was fine - but it just wasn't as good as some other places we prefer.... We decided that we won't be ordering from here again, as we were just overly disappointed. I'm keeping it at 3 stars because it's not bad, it's just not as good as other places we've tried, and the staff is always very friendly

While it's tough for me to get Indian food during a workday lunch due to the food coma that often ensues, this place was great! I'm not sure if they only have buffet for lunch here, but since that's what the rest of my group was doing I just went with that (I know... if they're going to jump off a bridge, are you? probably). It was $14, which I felt was fair if you are utilizing it to its full extent (I sadly could not or else naptime at work), but they had decent options and were constantly bringing out fresh servings. As a human who likes to get my veggies in during the
