Masala is a lovely place to get Indian and Nepali food. We tried it for the first time tonight and it was also my first time having food from Nepal. I tried the Kwatti which is a bean soup and Moo Moo Cha, vegetable dumplings. I also got my favorite Indian appetizer, Lamb Samosas.

My husband tried the Nepali Thali. He’s had Indian Thali before… a series of little veggie dishes. This one he ordered medium spice and it was a bit too spicy for him. Just note the spice level you request… if you don’t like things too spicy, go mild!

The masala tea was perfect with the spicy food. One of our guests commented the mango lassi was very refreshing.

One more thing I tried for the first time was the papadam. It’s a light crisp flatbread almost like a cracker… made of chickpeas. It was so delicious on it’s own or dipped in the sauces/chutneys… my favorite being the tamarind based one.

I will definitely return to this restaurant when I come to Tufts. Next time I will have their buffet so I can really explore!

Was there for Sunday buffet lunch and It was a very pleasant experience. At $17 Authentic Nepali cousin ( momos and khasi ko maaso), sweet people at service makes this place so beautiful. The dining area is open air based so lots of room for a relaxing environment.

They definitely deserve tips.
Will visit again
Thank you

Love the buffet $15. Most of buffet dishes chicken and vegetables. Probably 8 to 10 dishes to choose from. Taste of food are average…great service.

It’s the best place to have full buffet Indian style. Unlimited naan with veg and non veg options with dessert and appetizers.

Nice environment and good food. Note that the spicy range is a little higher than average at this place.
Also, the staff seem to be a little shy. The lady was standing by our table and looking at us without saying a word.
I ordered lamb biryani and liked it.

Delicious Indian and Nepalese food! First time trying momos and they were so good. The portions are generous and the prices are incredibly reasonable especially for drinks. I recommend the rack of lambs, saffron chicken and mango chicken. The staff is very sweet too. Will definitely be coming back.
