Masalaa Restaurant

"One of the good South Indian restaurants… taste was awesome ."

"Just one word: PATHETIC!!!! I ordered "Malai Kofta" since its my favourite dish to have with a Naan. Wanted to try it after the reviews about the restaurant. I took a to-go order and went home to have my dinner. I actually got confused whether it was "Malai Kofta" or "Punjabi Kadi Pakoda". Taste was horrible. The Kofta is made from Potato and has a filling of dryfruits and paneer for the "authentic" Malai Kofta. Here, the dish was made like a joke. Regular fried fritters were added to the gravy which was even confusing for me in the taste. Neither I could taste the sweetness nor the sourness of the gravy. Much more to my horror, I had an upset stomach the next morning. The chef should actually look at the recipe of the "MALAI KOFTA" from various youtube links and see how it is "actually" made. Please save your time and look for other options for a good restaurant."

"The food here is so good. It's the only place to get authentic South Indian cuisine in the metro Denver area. I drive 40 minutes to eat here because I fell in love with South Indian food while living in Bangalore many years ago, and the food at this restaurant takes me right back there. Nothing hits the spot like some tiffin. I love than not only is the food all so flavorful and authentic, but even the metal plates are the same as what you would have if you were eating in India. The lunch buffet on the weekends is great, you can have a bit of everything. 10/10 I hope this place never closes!"

"Went for the weekend buffet 12/23/23. First, unpleasantly surprised that it was priced higher at $17.99 instead of advertised $15.99 because it was "the holidays." Here are the reasons for my single star rating: 1) food was not hot, e.g. cold sambar, cold rasam 2) trays were always empty, 3) only one person trying to take orders, receive payment, etc 4) we were told there will be be complimentary dosa, but after ordering and waiting for 45 minutes, we left in frustration without eating it, 5) coconut chutney is kept in ice. Dipping cold vada in even colder chutney is not the best way to consume it, 6) there was no rice to eat with other curries, 7) no daal of any kind For desserts, there is a massive bucket of ice cream. Not a thoughtful choice for this winter time. The management is trying to take a shortcut. It was surprisingly crowded. Needless to say I will not be going back."

"Another wonderful evening shared with friends at Masalaa. Tonight we all decided to have some chai, dosas, Naan and Palak Paneer. Everything was excellent! This restaurant takes some time to bring out your food but it's worth the wait and you can't beat the pricing for superb vegan and vegetarian food. Thank you Masalaa!"
