Great Indian food. I visit whenever I am in MB
The food is delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant is beautiful, you can feel positive vibes the moment you enter inside. The restaurant staff are friendly and always smiling. Expect small wait that's only because this guys are just too good on what they doing. keep it up. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants Indian food.
What an amazing evening! Outstanding food and even more outstanding service! Our hostesses Siri and Christina went out of their way to make our group of 10 feel so special. From clicking group pics to always being available to add to our requests to a detailed explanation of every individual exotic dish - they were absolutely perfect and well coordinated ! And then throwing in the complimentary desert completed a great experience! If you want an opportunity to do Indian food with an unexpected twist and an incredible experience, head to masala and ask for Siri or Christina to manage the evening!
Great Location. Very near to popular resorts and Myrtle Beach. Free Parking. Food was okie ( Taking about What I ordered). Ambience is great that might be a plus point but taste of food was not so good. Also noticed some uncleanliness where I was dining. Like spider webs and so. Service was fast. Great collection of drinks as well. No free Wifi. Friendly staff.
Food Was Great !!! Real authentic Indian Food. Biryani was so good Service was Good. Ambience was classy. The place was pretty busy on Saturday noon which itself proves people like the food. We went back on Sunday morning before leaving and the place was more busy, still the waitress checked on all tables and served with smiles ..
I was here over three years ago and hope it is the same as it was then. The interior is beautiful and large enough to accommodate most any group. The buffet was filled with delicious food.
Date of Visit: Friday, 09/13/2019 Guys, It was a shockingly pleasant surprise and wow , what a food the Chef made a totally customizeduyyyy fare. We stepped in to this restaurant with a little hesitation for its relatively low key appearance from outside, tucked up at the end of a walmart plaza, but the moment we stepped in the whiff of aroma gave us a hint of what's about to come. The ambience is so great and is one of its kind. Just as a part of casual chit chat with fellow diners to seek their inputs on the quality of food they had, they had nothing but praise the the food they were having. We (3 of us ) ordered Pakora, Gobi Manchuria - spicy and ordered Samosa Chat also..Lo, here we have the most satisfying , mouth watering YUMMY food we ever h. ad. My friend ordered a repeat of Samosa chat - it was so good. For the main course I ordered Shrimp Kadai Masala, Mughlai Chicken Korma and Lamb Kashmiri - and trust me, - an avid traveller and foodie, who had tasted the food at various restaurants across USA - I would probably rate this at a high of my TOP 3 best indian foods I have ever tasted. The chef takes utmost care and attention to the detail and the items are let cook taking their own time and not rushed with flash cooking with premade sauces I believe. Everything takes the natural cooking time and hence the orders just do not keep coming flying. Have patience and allow the chef, the time and you'll be all set for your culinary orgasm. The chefs wife explained that it was a curry night for a huge British group of 25 and orders will take time. Wait staff are so polite and so affable and they oblige every request with a heart warming smile, which makes your dining experience even more pleasurable. I strongly recommend all the food lovers to experience this amazing food. Take away from the experience - NEVER JUDGE THE BOOK BY ITS COVER I feel very sad that I don't live in Myrtle beach and being a resident of Dallas TX, I wish we had this hidden jewel in Dallas too.
I have ate biryani in NC in multiple places theirs is pretty good
Awesome food selection! Great tasting food, and wonderful service! Coming back soon !
Good tasting food...daaltadka dish, paneer , good garlic naan. Brand new place. Good decor and mango lassi.
Mesmerized by the meal here. Reminds me of India
The food is amazing. Feels like home . The extra spicy choice was bit of mistake, it was really max spicy. But we managed it. The menu is complete, was everything on the menu which I wished to eat. Paneer was tasty and serves two. Chicken Biryani serves only one person with good appetite. Chicken chilly won the competition. Would recommend for all.
Very good food
Some of the best food I've ever eaten! And great vegan options.
Good food with lots of flavors. Like the Bhindi Masala
After thoroughly enjoying our experience at the sister restaurant-Masala chai, we were really glad to have given this restaurant a try. The food was fresh and delicious. We are amazed and thankful that Myrtle Beach has such world class Indian food. We will certainly be back for more. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone who loves authentic Indian cuisine.
The lunch buffet was very good at a reasonable price. Authentic Indian spice. Wish they had a little more variety for the buffet. Mostly chicken dishes. Bread was freshly served and delicious. Next time I will probably try something from their full menu.
Visited Myrtle Beach Sunday. Went to Masala for dinner. Extraordinary experience! Best Mulligatawny soup, fantastic entrees, good prices, fantastic service, and wonderful atmosphere with comfortable/cozy seating. Will be back!
Both the food and the service was excellent in addition to having halal options of meat.
Don't be put off by the fact that it is in a run down shopping plaza and the windows are dark. It is very clean and quiet inside. A great place for a date with your husband when you want food with amazing savory flavor. You can't go wrong with butter chicken or mahkani sauce on your meat. Try the mango mousse! There is also a buffet on certain days.
Excellent restaurant! Butter chicken & chk Hyderabad was good. I highly recommend :)
Enjoyed the food.. excellent taste.. !
Best Indian food in town. Great menu.
Great food, great staff
An upscale place with delicious Indian food. Some of the dishes are quite different from the usual menu and it's worth trying. their cocktail menu is also quite nice. Very polite and clean. Will be back next time I visit myrtle Beach!
This was always on my list to stop in Myrtle Beach, but now they are closed till march as they are relocating to a new location. Craving for there food , cant wait to try their new menu .
We really like the food and service at Masala. My wife and I are vegans and with my gluten sensitivity their vegetarian menu offers a lot of delicious options. One thing I like the most is their spices leave a wonderful aftertaste that lasts long after the meal is done.
I have eaten at Indian restaurants all over the world including India. This was the best. I am very allergic to MSG and always have to ask. I called and a very polite lady answered . She not only knew what it was, but also explained that they do not use it except in 2 Chinese/Indian dishes. The other place I had called had no idea from his answers and was difficult to understand. From the time we called and entered this place, everyone was warm and accommodating. The food was wonderful at the lunch buffet. The salad was simple. I will be returning to this establishment when I am in the area and would highly recommend to everyone .
First time ever eating Indian food! It was delicious! Everyone was very helpful explaining the dishes to me and helping me choose what to eat. Staff was very friendly and attentive! Will definitely be back!!
If you love indian food. The quality here oh my!!! everything was perfect for both of us here. Will deff be back!!! I will almost never give 5 stars. Everything has to be perfect. This was it.
Visited this place before closing the lunch time good food and good service
Excellent food especially the chat items, vibrant decor and good service.
Not enough staff !!! Very cold food when they served !!
Delicious Indian food worth the wait
Very clean, the food is delicious and the service is implacable. Best Indian Cuisine in Myrtle Beach!
Liked the fish. Good choice if you are looking for some Indian food
Great ambience of this newly opened Indian restaurant. Food is very authentic and superior. Very friendly staff. I was glad our bnb was just within a mile from this. Keep it up!
Excellent food, excellent service. A wonderful hole in the wall spot
Extremely delicious food and outstanding customer service. This place deserves more than a 5 star. Love to go there.
the food was delicious. especially the tandoori platter.
I went with a friend to the restaurant at 4:45 and we had an incredible dinner there! The food is just outstanding. We followed the advice of the waitress as we wanted a variety of starters and mains . We started with drinks from the bar , and they are just incredible. We followed on with some very nice starters and mains and shared a desert . Everything was just incredible. I can only recommend to the beach traveler with a refined taste to go there and try it out. Everything just excellent...
Excellent curries. Friendly staff.
Decent indian food, really good biryani . Naan could be a bit softer . Great customer service. Definitely will be back
Delicious food and custom service but small portions. Highly recommend
The best Indian restaurant in the area by a large margin. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful when choosing what to eat/getting situated. If you have an Indian cuisine craving needing to be satisfied, look no further.
Everything was delicious! Quaint little restaurant with warm & inviting atmosphere. Thank you!
great food and service we visited last night along with my brother ,they welcomed very warm and friendly even though there were tons of takeout's going on the front station and was busy with lots of tables . no doubt bcz the food is great that why a lots of takeout's. haha i do remember my brother told me good choice bcz of lots of takeout's he said will be better food. We waited at bar and had few drinks before getting a table. then we ordered ghost shahi korma , was great , not spicy but had great flavor. . and some lamb vindaloo,butter chicken and garlic nan and spicy nan . and our waitress was soo good to explaining us and they took care us great... After writing this review I'm going for lunch at masala before we leave...
Ordered Saag Paneer and the taste reminded me Hyderabad restaurant.. excellent and wide variety of food choices. Ambiance was great. Overall loved the restaurant.
Just finished a delicious dinner from this restaurant. It was our 1st time here and I must we were impressed. The bread was so good. My Lamb Korma was to die for. I will definetely come back here and try other dishes. Our server Sam went above and beyond. Yummy place.
Last week we had a chance to be in Masala restaurant in south Carolina. We tried a few dishes of vegetarian and non vegetarian. Out of that tandoori chicken was so delicious. We recommend this restaurant for all.and we wish to visit again ... Thx to the chef who made this.
I loved eating at this place. The atmosphere is great because of the decoration of the eating area and the music. When you enter, you're immediately hit with the smells of spices. The food is amazing. You can order a variety of dishes to share among your group. Some of my favorite appetizers were the Veggie Samosa and the Gobi Manchurian. Some main course dishes I would definitely recommend are the Butter Chicken, Tandoori Mix platter, Chicken Hyderabadi. Also! Don't go and eat without the naan, I recommend eating the Garlic Naan. :> I haven't tried many of the drinks but I really loved the mango cosmo, it's a pretty, light yellow drink made with vodka triplesec n mango pulp
Good food and great service. Food arrived quickly and was as expected.
Good place, good food, nothing fancy, simple and tasty food!! Decent ambience!!
Very tasty Indian food at masala!
Visting myrtle.. thought of eatingnice food..but Corn in Biryani??
Great authentic Indian food. Very nice atmosphere. A real asset to the local scene. The tradituonal Indian dishes are hot. If you order them with zero heat, they are still hotter than the hottest thing you can get at Taco Bell. So if you can't stand the heat, order something that is not hot by definition. And when they ask if you want medium heat, they mean Indian hot, not American hot.
Not as expected... Every dish tasted the same..
Rustic, Elegant and classic three words to describe this restaurant. Newly opened at new location is much better than what they had before. We visit myrtle beach very frequently and regulars of masala for few years. We were disappointed when they were closed for 6 months in the process of building new restaurant. But , I think its worth the wait. As usual food was great and wait staff was attentive. Only one suggestion to the owners - " you guys need to do lots of advertising so that it will payoff all the efforts you guys put in to build a beautiful place".
Very good authentic food, not the sweeter version of Indian food like any other Indian restaurant. It’s definitely a place to go if you crave for Indian food during your vacation or like to taste the real Indian flavors. If you ask any dish spicy it’s really spicy suitable for Indian palate, so please make your choice as needed. And the girls who served us are awesome, very nice and friendly!!! Keep it up.
Food was excellent and authentic and the staff very thoughtful. We tried the chicken tikka masala and the purvi signature makhani both were excellent
Excellent food, pleasant waitresses, excellent drinks!!!!!
Great food quality !!
excellent food cannot compare to anything else probably the best food I have eaten
Awesome food and service
We like Marsala and have been going there for a few years now. The best Indian Restaurant in the Grand Strand area. Their lunch buffet is always fresh and delicious. They have 4 veggie entree choices on the buffet along with the chicken ones. They use to bring naan to your table when you arrived but now it is on the buffet, so it is not quite as crunchy, but good. I took off a star because they close promptly at 2pm. I wish they served until 2:30.
Best Masala in Myrtle beach, tried their chicken masala and lamb shekh kabab...aweeeeesome
Food was delicious, service was great and they took care of us really well. The chef has magic in hands to make your dish customized the way you want it. This was one of the hilarious thing we saw at the restaurant. Which makes it more memorable for us. Thank you for the great service, you guys keep it rocking.
Great food! My husband convinced me to eat Indian food first time here, very good ,tasty rice and chicken masala. Also clean and friendly staff
Nice food great test and great service Always go there when in Myrtle Beach
Excellent food menu and a taste of India
Excellent, well rounded flavours. Vibrant and friendly atmosphere on a Friday night. Good range of vegetarian options.
Itz a outstanding food, enjoyed
Buffet spread was decent. Around 12 for the lunch buffet. Service not up to the mark. Tandoori chicken was cold. Chicken biryani was good. Kheer (rice pudding ) was brilliant.
The food here is phenomenal! The service is great too and so are the owners. We will definitely be visiting again!
The yummiest Indian food so far!!! We just keep going back again and again. All the items on the menu are heavenly and don’t leave you feeling bloated.
Juck food. I order briyani yesterday for carry out. They but color rice and some meat pics on it.
Fantastic food - great service people - short staffed so had to wait a bit but not bad for off season time
Food was fresh and fantastic. Great flavors. Great atmosphere.
Amazing Indian food, good ambience and very friendly staff The naans after really good and they have some amazing starters too Overall a good place to tingle your taste buds with Indian flavors...
The Goat curry and the rice was so good.
Nice indian food. Staffs are nice.
A wonderful experience from seating to paying the bill. The food came out promptly along with being really delicious I look forward to my next visit.
Baryani was really delicious. I love the food at this place and recommend other to try there delicious mouth watering baryani.
Me and my wife went to this restaurant on our wedding anniversary. Trust me, we both got really surprised with very high qulaity food. We ordered Malai Kofta and Mughalai Chicken korma, both were perfectly cooked. The curries had a nice texture and aroma. Tandoori wings quality is good and tasty , not greasy at all and naan was excellent. And finally thanks for the excellent service and chef came and apoke to us about the food, which i felt really warmth. I would love to revisit again.
Best Indian food in the area. Would like to see them add Chai tea to the menu. Food is delicious!
Food was nasty! The restaurant is filthy! The food we ordered was cold and not worthy of eating. This place will not last long. Pitiful excuse for a restaurant.
Perfect, delicious food and great service. Highly recommend!
Food was delicious
Amazing food reasonable prices... Best indian food at the beach. Staff and service is great also... Love the tandoori chicken and fish
Excellent atmosphere, ambiance and food. The staff is very attentive and very helpful. Food is perfect!!! Will be back soon.
Good white Indian food.
Great taste, quick service, good portions. Ordered takeout and got 10% off Would definitely recommend
Sublime! Masala was such a fabulous experience that I would give it an additional star if I could! The decor, service and presentation was fabulous. The pairing of different flavors was outstanding. This is not the greasy, cream laden food that has become synonymous with Indian cuisine. This is as authentic as it gets, its the best Indian dining experience I've had in the US. The drink selection was good, we had the Duckhorn Cabernet which was rightly priced . Some of my favorite dishes were Triple M, Pineapple Chicken, Lamb Gustaba (which was melt-in-your-mouth), cheese Naan. We did eat some familiar dishes such as Seekh Kebab, Lamb vindaloo, Goat biryani (highly recommended) and Garlic Naan which were fantastic, however my recommendation is to not go for the familiar but try the exquisite pairing (fusion) of different foods instead. You will not be disappointed. Clearly one can see the passion and thought that has gone into creating this restaurant, a true labor of love. Wait staff mentioned that chef is the owner. No doubt ,The chef/Owner has not succumbed to cutting corners and settle for the safe and familiar, rather he has been bold to not compromise on the spice, flavor and texture. Masala has spoilt it for the other Indian restaurants, because once you've eaten here, you will keep coming back for more. P.S.- Our Family of 6 traveled from Charleston as we had heard rave reviews and it was absolutely worth it.
Absolutely the best Indian food I've ever had and I've had my fair share of Indian food. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Also the service was excellent and very nice people!
Good food and service
best Indian food on the beach, Sunday buffet is a great value
We went to dinner with a big group, and Masala Indian Bistro provided excellent customer service for our group. The food was very tasty with lots of flavor and with many gluten free options. It's definitley a spot I hope to come back to.
This is our second visit to this restaurant and we love the food in here. Ambiance, service, food everything is so good. Especially tandoor platters, you don’t want to miss it. Prices are sooo reasonable compared to other Indian restaurants. A must try. We will visit again.
The service is very good and the food is delicious. I’m definitely going back here
Firstly the outside of the location does not give the slightest clue to the inside of this well designed restaurant . We came in and was sat very quickly! Our appetizers was served quickly and freshly cooked to perfection. Every spice is tasted. Two courses was ordered Shrimp by my wife and I the Lamb . I was truly surprised at the tenderness of the lamb and how flavorful the sauce was. I’ve eaten at many Indian restaurants but none have given this level of food quality. 5 Stars is earned and deserved.
Fantastic food thanks.
Great food. Our family loved it. Ambiance was nice. Food was very flavorful and fresh.
Today was our 3rd visit before leaving Myrtle beach. Loved it. Environment. Excellent fast service. Good recommendations by servers. They seems to know their food. Waitress recommended biryani on first visit and it was so good and consistent , I ordered it all 3 days. Also For vegetarian try Malai kofta, dal tadka , paneer tikka masala, Cheese naan n onion kulcha .
Delicious food, reasonable price. Looked at good reviews on google so went to try out. It was far better than expected. We didn't know they were fully reserved. But fortunately, all waitresses were helpful and cleared tables and had set up 2 tables for our group.
Excellent food and ambiance. We loved it. Our family enjoyed the taste of food. We will definitely visit again.Tandoori platter is sooo yummy. Prices are very reasonable compared to other Indian restaurants. You have to try it.
Great food, great staff and convenient. Hope u maintain the quality going into the future. The food is Top quality unlike other Indian restaurants that reduce quality gradually. Would recommend to anyone craving Indian food at Myrtle Beach.
This place deserves full rating!!!Came in on a busy night but we were still seated right away. The wait staff there was attentive, yet not pushy. Our waiterress was well-informed on the menu items, which was helpful. The atmosphere was calm and the decor was beautiful. If you are in Myrtle / visiting Myrtle , this place should be on your cards. Even though the portion size and ambiance has mix of Indian and Western hints, you do get the authentic north Indian flavor in the food..I really enjoyed my time here and I would definitely come back given the opportunity!
Great Food with good service.
This is NOT what Indian food should taste like. Both chicken biryani and chicken curry we ordered were far below standard in taste. I cook better Indian food at home. :) Servers were good and attentive.
We absolutely loved eating here! We are from out of town and were just looking for a nice bite to eat that was different from what we can get at home. Man were we pleased. The service was great and the food was even better! The way everything was set up was very intimate and relaxing to sit down and enjoy our meal. If we make it back to Myrtle we will definitely be coming back to eat here!
This place has a nice atmosphere, but it is the food that brings us back. Great lamb dishes. Don't forget dessert- Kheer very good.
Doesn’t look like much from the outside, but it was actually really pretty inside- clean and nicely decorated. The lunch buffet is small, but the food is authentic and absolutely delicious! Reasonable price-12.99 for the lunch buffet. We would definitely go back
Although we had to wait for a table for 10 min, the wait was pleasant, at the bar with drinks. Atmosphere and decor are great, staff is very friendly and helpful. Food is amazing and perfect for sharing. The best Indian I ever had, we were both delighted. For a plus, they have a good selection of Indian beers on offer. Highly recommended.
The food was absolutely incredible service was wonderful Siri was our Server who suggested all the right dishes Highly suggest trying out massala it was incredible
Awesome restaurant, food is great,staff very professional,i will definitely visit again...masala zone rocks
Haven't had much experience with Indian food. Both of us enjoyed everything we had. Will definitely return.
Food was wonderful, staff was very friendly and always smiling
Good Indian food in Myrtle
Dont go is all I have to say. Buffet way over priced. Food is really mediocre and not very clean. Staff not very friendly.
Food was incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed it
Came here for lamb biryani and they said they was out tried to order goat and they said they was out and it was only 7:30 at night
For Indian people food ok. Not that good more money charge. Taste no good. Service good.
Very good.
The food is exquisite and we are happy with the chefs option of serving us with the level of spice we wanted! Great desserts and awesome non-vegetarian and vegetarian options! Great service and incredible starters! Would definitely recommend!!
Fantastic flavors and Awesome taste! Authentic Indian taste. Service was Great. Ambience was Great. What else is needed?
Wonderful food, great atmosphere, and very personable owner! I was impressed and will go back every time I want authentic Indian food.
We went here to celebrate a birthday dinner with a family of 4 and this restaurant with new location is outstanding! The food is really high quality and presentation and service were off the charts. I would normally expect to pay double when compared to many restaurants - well worth the price. The lamb chops and paneer were delicious. Try the mango cosmo cocktail, It is outstanding felt like I’m in Hawaii Great place for authentic Indian food with attentive staff. The owner/chef even came out and wished us happy birthday!
Great place, Yummy food and, yes, authentic Indian! Loved it...
Here for some good Desi food...
food very tasty n people are good also will come back soon.
2nd visit to myrtle beach and after 1 day of my visit, cravings for Indian food started .. During Last visit we ate at Masala chai , but they were closed on Tuesday so after lots of debate visited Masala bistro......Fantastic food and hands down the friendliest staff out of any indian place we've ever been. Very Skeptical about trying cocktails but my waitress made an amazing long island ice tea.
Food was very good... chili cheese naan was the best .. we ate 5 of them ... 5 stars for ambience .. you get to see this kind of a restaurant only in new York or London
Pretty spot , food was delicious and service was fantastic. Couldn’t get through a quarter of my water glass before it was filled up again. I’ve never seen that level of service before. Split the samosas, chicken tikka, and lamb korma, and everything was tasty. Looking forward to coming back and trying out more dishes.
Came for lunch. The food was amazing, prices are reasonable, atmosphere is beautiful, and staff was very friendly! We'll be back for sure!
Omg amazing. Hidden secret next to all the touristy chain restaurants. Superb wait staff, romantic ambience, spectacular food. Best kept secret in Myrtle. Thank you for a terrific date night.
Could have been 5stars .. hope the owner gets this message.. we wanted to go at this place over other Indian restaurants in the area. We made a call around 8:40 and should have reached the place around 850ish, after confirming the availability at the restaurant THEY CALLED US BACK AS THEY WILL BE SUDDENLY CLOSING EARLY TODAY AS THEY WILL HAVE SOME CLEANING COMPANY COMING.... Lost a business, we went to Nirvana and had a great dinner.
Visited on a busy Sunday and waited 15-20 minutes for table...we were so tired and hungry but once seated we got fast service and got to enjoy great food with cocktails. Definitely a high end restaurant with decent service
The Indian food is absolutely the best in Myrtle Beach.
I lived in Boulder Colorado for twenty years and Indian food there is a much more well received and appreciated- thus there are many very good establishments. Masala is as good as any Indian I have ever eaten.The korma and tikka masala are absolutely amazing!! Not to mention the very friendly family who own and operate Masala. Do not miss!! Truly a Myrtle Beach hidden treasure!!
Fabulous food. One of the best, I got in the whole USA. Ambiance and customer service awesome.
Really loved dining here.. great ambience.. perfect indian meal.. very tasty.. staff was also wonderful.. my toddler also ate well.. i would highly recommend it!
Ate at the new location shortly after it opened. Hands down the best Indian food we have tried in the area.
This place is very nice. Customer service is excellent. Food is good. Loved it !!
We love this place. The food is always good and most importantly consistent. Costumer service is great as well. Its a local hidden treasure.
If you got from 11am to 2pm, it is "all you can eat" indian buffet for $15. If you are an indian food lover, that's where you should go, very spicy, friendly staff. However the ambiance is not the best, dark place, buffet doesn't have many varieties, and table service and waiters don't serve you often. In the evening it is ordering from menu.
Delicious indian food. Wonderful samosas Curry and really beautuful atmosphere. A little pricey but worth it
Restaurant ambiance was awesome and Goat Dum Biryani was out of the world. One of the best and must try. The service was exceptional with a lot of care and prompt response!
All Indian restaurants too pricey now, I ask him to make little spicy and we got too too spicy, cannot able to eat take home order
