Masala Craft Indian Cuisine

I regret not trying the food at this restaurant. The ambiance was beautiful and authentic. The establishment was very clean and elegant. It was surprisingly crowded compared to other places I had visited. I stopped by for a drink, and the Moscow Mule was refreshing, although mixed drinks are not typically my preference. The bar seats were comfortable. I wish I had more time as I was 30 minutes away when they closed at 9 o'clock. I would definitely return to sample the food. The owner was very courteous. It was a pleasure to meet him.

This place is a hidden gem! The staff was friendly and we got seated immediately. They even gave our dog water without us requesting. The chicken Tikka masala is one of the best I've had. Their garlic naan was fresh and perfection. The lamb curry was also very tasty and rich in flavor and spices. I also had the mango lasso and it was delicious and not overly sweet. The food was ready very quickly. I highly recommend this place for a great change of pace from all the other overcrowded mediocre restaurants in town that make you wait over an hour to be served. I can't wait to go back every time I visit big bear!

At first glance, the restaurant didn't seem like much from the outside. However, knowing they served Indian food, we decided to give it a try. I started off with a large Taj beer, and we ordered a few dishes, mostly on the sweeter side since my daughter is vegan. We tried two dishes at a spicy level 5 and one at a level 8. Unlike most Indian restaurants, they actually delivered on the spiciness level we requested, and our taste buds were definitely fired up. The portions were generous, the food was delicious, and we were pleased with the service.

The food really enjoyed here. was not quite sure what to expect especially in a small city like big bear. eating came fast and was delicious. server was very helpful, and always looking at us, never missing a water refill! we went with the butter huh and lamb tiki masala. we first have 1 order of the tribe naan, but ended with the order of an additional and a order of the garlauch naan. each order comes with 4 hand sizes. will be coming back!

This has been a must whenever I visit Big Bear. The food is full of flavor, great quality, and not to mention the large portions. I usually order the Chicken Tikka Masala at range 7 of the spicy level. I don't do 10 because my stomach will pay the consequences of my decision. I accompany the chicken with white rice and garlic naan. Can't go wrong with that. Also, you may want to get a mango lassi to cool off your palate from the spiciness.If the food alone doesn't convince you, you will definitely be impressed by the customer service you will receive. The employees are very attentive and friendly. This place is a must if you are in town and crave good Indian food.
