I'd been looking at the restaurant sign for a long time until they finally opened, and my husband and I gave it a try.
I'm used to the simple, non-pretentious atmosphere of my favorite Indian restaurant, India Palace, so my first impression of Masalas was "Wow, this is going to be expensive." -- The place is nicely decorated and inviting. It is considered a trendy Indian restaurant in the area now.
Now, let's get to the menu: Long and confusing. For people who are not Indian cuisine connaisseurs it will make no difference if it's North Indian, South Indian or whatever. Like Ruchi's, I found the menu to be just too big and I believe that a good restaurant should have a small menu of excellent dishes (too much chef Ramsey for me, I guess).
My husband tried the chicken pakoras that turned out to be very good. He also had some lentil soup, which he claimed was very hot, but not very good.
Me? I tried their kabuli nan (Indian bread with nuts and raisins) and I liked its freshness. I also had shahi paneer, which is cheese in a very mild, very tasty sauce. Very good overall.
The chai is creamy and you can sweeten it up to your liking.
I liked it, but for much less I can get the same quality at India Palace.

My favorite Indian place in the area. Un-pretentious, great menu, great taste, excellent service. They know me and my husband already, for we go at least twice a month.
The lunch buffet is pretty decent, but if you really want to see what good Indian is, you better ask for a menu. Make sure you drink their Chai... Mmmm!
My signature dish: Beef Korma. That's what I usually ask for. And their Chicken Biryani is pretty good as well.

The idea of a deli is always appealing to me. I love, love, love sandwiches. It was a cold, windy evening, the place looked nice (diner style restaurants always catch my eye), so we went in for a bite. It was dinner time, so the place was rather empty; I figured lunch time was another story.
I didn't know what to order that would be a hit with me, so I ended up getting a Bird to the Wise sandwich (turkey, hot pastrami, swiss cheese on toasted onion bun with mayo). It comes with waffle chips and pickles. I enjoyed it for the most part, but of course the hot pastrami made it too greasy. So I'll make sure I don't order the same next time.
This is a place I would definitely visit again to try more of their menu.

I hadn't heard good things about this restaurant, so I really wasn't expecting anything good from it. In fact, I thought I was going to be disappointed, but I really wasn't.
The only thing I ordered was an appetizer platter with empanadas and flautas, and they weren't too bad except for the fact that they were a little too salty for my taste. I liked the tortilla chips and the salsa a lot, and their margaritas are actually big and good. My husband and my friends had the fish tacos, and I think everyone liked them.
The service was OK, the place is nice, I liked the fireplace. The only problem is that I came out of that restaurant feeling like I was the one who cooked because my clothes were stinking. We need more vents?
Not too shabby, really.

Crowded as in crazy. You have to wait too long to get a table in the evenings. We were offered to sit at the sushi bar... No, thanks! We wanted a table.
Food is good, though. I recommend the Volcano: Baked crab, white fish and yamagobo, topped w/motoyaki sauce, sriracha and eel sauce. And you definitely have to order the edamame.
If you pick a better time to go, you will enjoy your meal. Not just at "rush hour."

I wasn't very impressed with this restaurant, but that's only because I'm a Swagat's fan. However, their garlic nan is delicious, and their rice pudding is fantastic.
The owner is a talkative man who will make sure you are having a good time and enjoying your food. Great buffet selection.

In the middle of the River Market, their falafels are good, and their sandwiches are even better. The place can get crowded, especially on Saturdays (of course!), but it has a great atmosphere. Nice decoration, too!
The only Mexican place where I have been able to find tamales that look/taste a little bit like Colombian tamales. And they are good! The rest of the menu is just as great, and the prices are even better. I like to order my food with horchata... Mmmm!
I love going to Casa Paloma, with the rustic deco, the articles hanging on the wall praising the place. I also loved all the family photos posted on the tables by the owners.
They now have a new owner, and the tamales aren't like they used to be, but the restaurant is, by all means, one of the best Mexican places in town.

I think this is my favourite Indian restaurant. It's clean, classy, service is good, well located, and the food is delicious. Reasonably priced and neatly served.
I will review again when I try more of their menu.

I loved it. The service is great, everyone is so attentive. Our waiter did a wonderful job, kept our glasses full, recommended the best on the menu and kept those delicious thin chips coming. The salsa is awesome, I added some Cholula.
I had the Parmesan Crusted Shrimp Quesadillas. Very tasty! The Parmesan cheese adds a very special flavor to the tortillas, and the shrimp is seasoned almost to perfection with peppers and tomatoes.
I will definitely go back.
