Phenomenal food!! We got the bread basket with garlic naan, keema naan and onion naan - it was very soft and tasty! We came from Toronto and love this more than what we have. They waiters were very kind and on top of their game. The starter was tasty as well. We got chicken malai kabob as appetizer, it was very tasty and soft. We also got the butter chicken, chicken salamar and the lentil soup. You can pick your spice levels which was very helpful! Everything was so tasty and we had so much left over, we would definitely recommend everything we got!!!

All of the food was delicious. We ordered the appetizer sample plate and I liked almost everything except the fried cauliflower (but that’s just my taste) and I really liked the sauce it was served with. Almost all of the appetizers were fried which I didn’t have a problem with but if you have dietary restrictions take note of that. The tikka masala was also delicious and the rice it was served with had a nice aroma to it. 10/10 would go back.

We happened to stumble across this place after looking around in the Museums and not even knowing what to eat, and we're so glad we came across this place! The portions and flavor of food were perfect and the hot chai was such a delightful drink to heat up in a cold day out in the city. The Poori and Naan were flavorful and fresh and the taste of the meat dishes were excellent! If we're in the area again we'll definitely be coming back!!!

We had a wonderful meal at Alachi Masala today. The food was fresh and flavorful, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. We loved the cozy feel of the restaurant and really appreciated their intentional focus on healthy dishes that cater to a wide range of dietary needs. Highly recommend!

Yummy food, great prices, wonderful hospitality. Grab the chicken tikka masala for creamy, spicy goodness. Don’t sleep on the garlic naan, as it perfectly complements the sauce. If it’s a cold winter day as it was for us, ask for the chai tea.
