Masala Square Indian Kitchen

The most gentrified Indian restaurant ever. The spicy levels were a joke, with the highest spice level dish being nothing more than an indistinguishable tingle in your mouth. The chicken tikka masala was overwhelmingly sweet and felt very one dimensional. The chicken cheezy was also such a let down, no complexity in taste :( Our waitress also took away the plate before we finished the chicken :((The masala paneer wings were pretty good though. The garlic naan was alright.

Right at bow market this place always has the pakora and chai deal and I finally gave it a try one rainy day. Their menu service was slow but they were also pretty busy due to a festival happening on the street. The food was OK quality for south Asian standards. The chai was cold, it was definitely microwaved or made ahead of time. The pakoras were a little raw on the inside. I also got a chicken appetizer which was nice. Overall they lacked spice and flavour. But definitely are catering to the Somerville population.

Solid north Indian food and nice establishment. The daal, eggplant, and naan were all great. Would return for Indian food that tastes like home!

Every dish had me mind blown. The flavors put into each dish were spot on everything we were expecting and more I understand why so many say that Masala Square is a hidden gem for Indian food‼ The chicken tikka masala was my favorite with its creamy, addictive tomato flavor, but the potatoes in the vindaloo were spiced and cooked perfectly as well. We loved the chicken biryani as well Although you can adjust the spice level, I'd say medium was the perfect amount of spicy I could tolerate enjoyably A must try here is the mango lassi, the yogurt flavor within paired perfectly with the mango and its consistency was super enjoyable! I also recommend trying the supreme samosas! I'm glad we upgraded from the regular to supreme because the difference was the chana (chickpea) curry they topped off with that was the most flavorful and had the most refreshing hint of herbs‼Overall, I am 100% coming back here to try more and I definitely want to taste their variety of stuffed naan next time

Ordered takeout food from this place. Food was said to be ready at 6:22. We showed up at 6:25 and we didn't get our food until 6:43. It was also not a large order. The chicken tikka masala was incredibly plain. The sauce was a bit spicy but had no depth beyond that to the flavor. The worst part was the chicken in the curry. The chicken inside the curry tasted season-less. Seemed like someone just cut up a chicken breast and threw it in the curry right before getting the serving was scooped into the container. It did not taste or have tandoori flavoring and was very disappointing. This place was also priced higher than the usual Indian food restaurant I go to. Will not be going back. Ambience I would say was the best part. They have cool lights inside and a tv playing some good music.

I got the make your own curry and it was so delicious. All of it he servers were so sweet. The ambiance was really nice there was music playing. Overall the vibe was awesome.

Excellent food in a great central Cambridge location. We enjoyed the Sagg Panieer and the lamb vindaloo. The service was excellent

Hidden gem!I was not expecting this place to be this good to be honest, we ordered saag paneer, dal, Navratran Korma, Dal Makhani, Paneer pakoras, kheer and garlic nan.They were all delicous, perfectly cooked and flavorful. In particular, we thought kheer was the best one we had in Boston. Only con would be high price but I'll definitely try their other dishes next time.Also, restaurant itself has a cool vibe with open bar concept, I will certainly dine in there next time and try their special drinks! 100% Recommend if you're visiting Union square!

Masala has a terrific luncheon buffet 1130 to 3 but get there by 230. Food is good, wait staff is prompt and friendly, prices are good. Service is great,

Food was excellent, spicy without being overwhelming (unless you want it that way), great presentation. I had the malai kofta, which was rich and flavorful. Perfect spice level (medium), with just the right amount of kick. I usually go medium at first, I'd definitely try spicy next time. The menu is very straightforward- a few specials, then a list of the standards (tikka masala, saag, korma) and you pick your protein. I liked this, much more straightforward than a five page menu. Ambiance is very relaxing, at least at 5 pm on a Saturday. Music in the background but no problem hearing the people I was eating with. Service was fantastic too. Attentive without being smothering. Our waitress, Brav, was first rate - helpful, friendly, cheerful demeanor. We live in New Hampshire now, but have lived in many other places with lots of different cuisine. I have to say this is one of the best Indian restaurants I've eaten at.
