Fast, well packed and excellent tasting. We will be back for grab and go as our experience was awesome. To the staff, thank you for working hard and your kindness.

Service was super kind, and the food was great. Portions were solid too. The naan was more on the thick side rather than flaky & I liked that. It tasted very fresh.Only thing I wasn't feeling was being served in to-go containers when dining in. For the price, which wasn't terrible but still up there, I'd at least expect a real plate. (Maybe that was just this night tho!)

This has been my go to take out for several years now. Unfortunately, it will no longer be the case. The quality and proportions have gone down significantly, while the prices only continue to climb up. Most recently I had an item missing from my order. The naan was soggy in the inside while the edges were rock hard. The biryani rice tasted stale. They used to pack that container, and now it's an inch from being close to full. I used to also get pops of actual cardamom seeds, now that's been replaced with just making everything more spicy.

A few of us stopped by Masala Story for lunch this past Friday and we weren't very impressed with what we ordered. Also, it's quite pricy! There is plenty of space to sit, which is nice.VEGGIE PLATTER (PICK ANY 2) - 17+1 for palak paneer, +1 for dal makhaniEach platter comes with a good amount of basmati rice and some chickpeas. The texture of the chickpeas was fine but the flavor was generally bland. The palak paneer was a bit sour (?) so I didn't really enjoy it. The paneer was fine, though. The dal makhani was pretty forgettable in terms of taste.My friends got other meat entrees, but I don't think any of us were blown away by the quality of food here. Oh well, it was worth a try since we were in the area and we saw high reviews for this restaurants.

We enjoyed our visit to Masala Story! We had been wanting to try it for some time now. The samosas were super flavorful! And we loved the chicken biryani dish. The service was prompt and the food came pretty quickly. The restaurant was not crowded. I like the brightly colored decor inside the restaurant. It's lively and fun.

We weren't wowed by Masala Story. I'm not sure it would survive if it were in a neighborhood that had more restaurant options.WHAT WE LIKED: Very friendly and helpful counter service. Big menu with lots of variety, including a ton of vegetarian and vegan options. Very accommodating regarding choice of spice levels. Nice breads. Fun room scattered with children's books.WHAT WE DIDN'T LOVE: Flavors were fine but nothing special that made us eager to return.Not a lot for the money. The Thali, in particular, feels like a ripoff. Yes you can choose 5 items but it's just a tiny taste of each, totalling as much food as a single entree but 50% more expensive.Plastic, plastic, plastic everywhere - everything's on single use plastic plates with a set of plastic utensils wrapped in plastic. The waste is reason enough not to eat here.

This is a fantastic little spot. Has a bunch of outdoor seating as well, so we brought our puppy to sit outside with us. They had fans and heaters so it'll be suitable in spring and fall! The food was fantastic and we'll be back to work our way through the rest of the menu.Punjabi chicken was my favorite! The staff was so kind and brought the food out incredibly quickly. So lucky to have this little spot in the neighborhood!

I ordered from them on Doordash, and the food came hot and tasted excellent. I ordered butter chicken and lamb biryani. The servings were generous, too. I have zero complaints, and I hope I can try them dining in-person some time.

Live close by and everyone in the neighbourhood recommended this place. We got a number of things and everything just kinda tasted the same. Too bad since it's so close. Better options on H St for Indian.
