Masala Indian Cuisine - Lexington

Best indian food in the area! I would highly recommend the Chicken Tikka or Tandoori Chicken. Also, make sure to always get extra garlic naan. It is so good!

Been there 4 times; amazing food and cozy restaurant

Masala is my absolute favorite Indian restaurant in Central KY! The food is always very fresh and very good. It is an excellent place to meet up with friends, it has a very comfortable atmosphere. The food is consistently good. I visited this restaurant almost weekly when I lived in Lexington. All of my friends love it too, our favorite entrees to order were the chicken tikka masala, palek paneer, and chana saag. The garlic naan and onion and paneer naan are to die for and I’d also recommend the samosas as a starter. The service can be slightly slow at times but the food and quality of the people that work there more than makes up for it! I no longer live in Lexington but very often wish I could return to Masala. Incredibly under appreciated establishment in my opinion!

My uncle took me here and said it was pretty good . I think I 'd say very good . Exceeded expectations. Above average Indian place for sure and it was surprisingly busy on a Tues night. A hidden gem in Lexington but people are finding out. There will be more busy nights in this restaurant 's future because the food was great, I had and recommend the Vindaloo and tandoori sampler but I couldn 't finish the entree. Could prob split one for light eaters. I also tried the goat curry which was quite good. You can 't always get that dish. Staff were very friendly.

I ordered Paneer Kadhai and Paratha. The paneer Kadhai was utterly delicious, with the right spices and taste. The Parathas were a little undercooked. It's a multilayered paratha similar to laccha paratha) and some of the inside layers were not cooked. Perhaps cooking at high flame. The staff is amazing and very warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend it to anybody interested in trying Indian food.
