Indian Masala

This is our favorite place for Indian food! It’s authentic and they offer both North and South Indian food. The dosas are not cooked on the same pan as any items that are wheat such as naan or roti (they have a cook for each region.) We always have them tell the chef we have celiac for extra caution. Make sure to ask how things are prepared. Warning: their hot is Indian hot not American hot…for kids mention extra mild. Also don’t get anything fried like the loly pop chicken. They have shared fryers however, have been able to make Aloo Tikki chaat in a pan vs. fried on request. Our favorites are Chicken biryani (spicy), saag paneer, aloo matar, dosas and tandoori chicken (naan is made in the tandoor but they won’t make it at the same time as the chicken for us. The chicken hangs in there and doesn’t touch the sides. This is the only item I worry about and is why I remind them of celiac). Also the mango lassis are great (homemade yogurt and mango pulp).

The Chicken Curry, Chai tea, and Mango Llassi (ice cream) were delicious and each was very flavorful.

This is the most authentic Indian food I've eaten in the Twin Cities. They even offer goat entrees. My companion was quite pleased with the Goat Curry.
