Very poor service. There’s only one server who’s running around serving everyone so it’s not his fault. Food is not bad except the naan. It is not freshly cooked, it’s actually an indian flat bread from a grocery store which is just reheated. Ironically they have “bar” in the name of restaurant. I asked for a beer, they have none, asked for cabernet wine, they hv none (even though drink menu had extensive wine list).
Hipster, dive vibe in an excellent location. Very safe & walkable neighborhood in an older, less trendy area of Ashland…which keeps the menu prices very reasonable! Drinks were $10, naan was $5 (Even the gluten-free.), and entrees were +/- $20. My husband, who dislikes curry, even loved it. Small venue that gets VERY busy after the traditional dinner rush. The bar is a great place to meet friends. 🍸 Every item exceeded our expectations! Jeremy was great, we appreciated all of his suggestions. We just left but already can’t wait to return. Did I mention that the owner’s name is also Sasha? LOL These are her authentic, family recipes. 🥰 Her husband is a Southern Oregon native. What an asset to the community. 🇮🇳
The food is pretty good. I recommend getting their Thali plates, where you can get a sampling of what they have to offer. The vibes of the place are pretty good, I haven't seen a bar in an Indian restaurant before? Seems like it is understaffed since they only had one person at the bar, who was also the waiter. So things were a little on the slow side. Overall a pretty good experience!
We have eaten Indian food all over the world, including India. Our meal at Masala was amazing. The kitchen took the dishes to a different level, most certainly inspired by the traditional recipes, but unlike any that we have ever had. And then we need to give kudos to the servers. They were attentive and friendly and could speak directly to every dish that was presented. Thank you Amanda. Such a delightful experience!
Definitely get one of Thali dishes, where you can sample what they have, it’s an amazing deal and soooo much food. The staff is so kind, but the ambience could use some background music!
