Masala Magic by Anita — Restaurant in Elk Rapids Township

Order here if u are willing to wait and donot have a time crunch . The lady serving seems to be good but was frazzled by the number of orders. I just ordered a corn and lassi and she didnot tell me it will be a 15 minute wait until I tapped my card to pay. I tried canceling as I was in a time crunch after waiting a while and she said my corn was ready and she'd our my lassi right away. I waited for her to serve 2 more orders and gently checked with her on the lassi status- she said - dont do this for small business owners , u were in the end of the line. I very well understand that and only asked her to cancel as I could not afford to wait . She poured out 2 lassi's( one iced and one without ice) and pushed them both to me- I just picked one and walked out. It was not a good experience.

Food wise - the corn was sub par- not well roasted . The lassi was okay.

I understand if the orders are a lot, but giving a heads up on the wait time before taking the payment would have saved us both some heart ache.

Update to owner: I absolutely understand and I didn't pester and i didn't ask u to prioritize me before others who placed their order. . I only asked if you could cancel my order respectfully- as I could NOT wait- we were running late.if u had told me it was a 15 min wait before I swiped the card I wouldn't have placed the order in the first place. We were on a tight timeline and made a pitstop for strawberries and came to check ur truck seeing the board and hearing the berries lady rave about ur food.if you couldn't cancel my order - i'd have appreciated if u said that to me instead of leaving me there hanging . I have the utmost respect for small business owners especially women owned. I understand the sacrifices and struggles that go behind the scene a...

Are you debating whether to go or not? GO! This is homemade, authentic Indian food made by the most enthusiastic, loving chef you can imagine. The aroma of cumin, cardamom, and garam masala take me back to the kitchens of my aunties. Her balance of spices is perfect! Are you worried it might be too spicy? No problem, Anita can make you a dish that is mild! Do you want it so spicy you start sweating and breathing fire? No problem, Anita can do that too! Just tell her your preference and she will make it to your prefers. She also has vegan and gluten free options . There is just nothing in the world like dipping a piece fresh warm naan into perfectly seasoned masala! So far I’ve only reviewed the experiences your nose and mouth have. But I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the gorgeous view of acres of rolling orchards and expansive blue skies at Townline Cider works (where Anita is located). You can sip some delicious hard cider made by the Altonen family to complete the experience! I highly recommend you treat yourself some delicious Indian food and hard cidere while taking in the beautiful view! You will be...

I don’t usually write reviews, but this Indian food truck deserves a moment. Tucked away in Michigan (you'll probably smell it before you see it), this place serves some of the most soul-hugging, flavor-packed food I’ve had in a long time.

The masala? Next level. It's not just spicy—it’s layered, deep, and clearly made with care. You can taste the time and tradition in every bite. Whether it's the butter chicken, chana masala, or even the humble samosa, each dish has that just right balance of heat, richness, and comfort.

Anita is amazing and the folks running the truck are kind, down-to-earth, and you can tell they love what they do. It’s not just food—it’s hospitality on wheels.

If you’re within driving distance, go. If you’re not—consider rethinking your weekend plans. This truck’s masala might just ruin you...
