Masala Waves

Ok. I love this place! The minute you walk in you're greeted with a friendly hello. It's a unique and charming restaurant with a casual atmosphere home atmosphere. The food was fresh and so flavorful! It smelled divine in there and we wanted to try it all!For appetizers we ordered the tikka masala fries - I know what? This was surprisingly tasty and the fries were fresh and crispy! And the Nepal Momo's - very similar to a dumpling. Def a must try.We got the tandoori chicken on the sizzling player! Butter chicken, and garlic naan. Every dish was sooo good! Ask for the yogurt dip on the side! Refreshing and takes the heat out of the dish when it's too spicy. My friend got the Mango Lasse and said it was refreshing like a smoothie. And we ended the dessert with their homemade mango and pistachios ice cream!!! Drool worthy! I will definitely come back! I will crave this place therefore I give it my full 5 stars!!Thank you Masala Waves for an unforgettable feast!!!!

I haven't had much Nepalese food, I'm only familiar with Momo so I was very excited to try a lot of new things. The appetizers are all great and good for sharing. I cannot recommend their Momo and signature curry enough!Nepali Momo - 5/5, similar to dumplings but the momo sauce is EVERYTHING!!! You can really tell that the sauce is house made.Daal Soup - 5/5, excellent heart-warming soup for a cold day. The spices are so good, but this soup is easily outshined by the flavorful sauces and curries. I enjoyed it more the next day to-go versus with the rest of my meal.Vegetable Pakora - 3/5, the batter was not as crispy or lightly fried as I like my pakora to be. I loved the two sauces it came with.Nepali Chicken Curry - This curry was SO insanely good. I don't know what goes into a Himalayan sauce, but it's definitely tomato-based and it was DELICIOUS. Love, love, love all the spices and it's not too spicy either!Mango lassi - 5/5, not too sweet. The yogurt was perfectly tart complemented the sweet mango. Great consistency for a blended fruit drink!

This place has such charm along with friendly and attentive service. Some of the best Indian food we have had anywhere. Every bite like an explosion of flavor...each dish made with the freshest ingredients and care. If you like Indian food you have to come to Huntington Beach to experience this awesome restaurant. Enjoy a bite of heaven. Ask for Sal or Deepak they will make you feel welcome. It was our first time here but is our new favorite place for Indian and Nepalese food. Thank you all for such an awesome meal and making us feel so welcome!!!

Nice and helpful servers. This is a legit place for Chicken Tandoori and Chicken Tikka Masala, both were very delicious. A definite must try.

Plenty of parking Clean interior , love the decor Wonderful service , very fair prices and the food was amazing We will be back

Awesome experience to say the least, Sal and his team are amazing, their hospitality is unmatched! We were invited to eat by my Dad, But admittedly My family and I were very nervous of trying Indian/Nepal cuisine as we have tried food elsewhere and didn't have the best experience. But Sal definitely helped us ease those nerves and helped us pick out a few dishes to try which all ended up being Knockouts. super fresh, super tasty! We went in nervous and left planning our next dinner at Masala Waves lol. Our favorites we tried were the Tandoori Chicken, the Madras Chicken, the Tikka Masala, and the Mango Lassi oh and let's not forget the Spinach dip stuffed Naan , finished off the meal with Mango and Pistachio Kulfi! Thank you Sal and Staff We can't wait to see you Guys soon!

Probably the best hospitality I've received. Perfect place to celebrate my friends birthday! We were seated at a table, once a booth was open, our host asked us if we wanted to switch over; the gesture made the experience much more memorable. The food was so delicious!!! Not to mention the interior decor! I look forward to coming back with my buddy again.

Amazing food, great service. Lots of Indian spots have watered down sauces, but this place seems to be one of the last ones with legit food. I'd recommend going inside and eating there vs taking the food home.

We were in the area looking for some vegan food and I saw that masala waves has lots of vegan options. The roti is vegan and is very delicious. It's a little hole in the wall place with booths. The food is delicious. We got the China masala And the samosas and one other dish and everything was so good. Our non-vegan friend got a chicken dish and also really enjoyed it. The owner came over and talked to us and let us know that one of his family members is Vegan so he wanted to make sure there's lots of options for everyone whether they're gluten-free or whatever dietary restriction they have. I definitely would come back here. I wish it was a little closer to us and the Atmosphere was a little nicer but overall with 100% go back. I do wish they had Vegan on, but I do like the roti as well.

This is the best food, service and atmosphere you can experience. Ordered Momo Chili Chicken appetizer, with Lamb Korma and Madras Chicken for the entree. Cannot go wrong! Do not forget the Garlic Naan. All exceptional.
