I had the pleasure of dining at Alachi Masala, where I sampled three exquisite dishes that left an indelible impression. The samosas were a crispy delight, filled with flavorful spices and perfectly complemented by tangy chutneys. The chicken dish was a culinary masterpiece, with tender, succulent pieces immersed in a rich blend of spices. On the vegetarian side, the dish I tried was a burst of flavors, showcasing the chef’s expertise in creating a satisfying and savory option. However, what truly elevated this dining experience was the exceptional service. The staff, under the owner’s attentive guidance, treated me with warmth and ensured that every aspect of my visit was impeccable. Alachi Masala is undeniably a haven for authentic Indian cuisine, offering a delightful gastronomic journey accompanied by impeccable service that I won’t soon forget.

Excellent dining experience! Food has its own flavor while also being ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Mango Lassi is a must have and their curry and masala’s are strongly recommended!

Lovely people and delicious, dependable food. Great for eating in or delivery. Outside dining available, too. Tonight, I started with vegetable samosas. Delicious!! So light and fluffy the crust, so perfectly spiced the classic filling. Mango Lassi is wonderful with a sweet touch of whipped cream. I’m also going to have my favorite— saag (spinach) paneer and garlic naan. The owner is here — so welcoming and very grateful for his customers during these times that are so challenging for restaurants and retailers. This is a very sweet, homey place.

I ordered Chicken Biryani and Tandoori Chicken. It was all delicious! I love Chicken Biryani so I’ve tried pretty a lot of places and they had really tasty Chicken Biryani. Tandoori Chicken was also very good. It was moisture and well seasoned! I am not good at eating cilantro(or coriander) and I forgot to ask to get rid of it but it was mixed with the dish very well so I had no problem and it made me want to try cilantro more! People were nice and caring too. I recommend a lot!

Great food, but this stops there. They knew I had a 15 percent off meal but did not bother to have the bill ready when we arrived. It took them 14 minutes to putz around and try to work it out. Then they tell me it’s an extra fee to pay with a credit card! Based on this, I will not be returning and will warn others not to go either.
