MASALA KITCHEN INDIAN CUISINE — Restaurant in Lebanon

I went out to eat with two friends. I am native to the cuisine, but they are not. When they asked about the spice level, I said I wanted it "Indian hot." I also suggested that my friends order it at the same spice level since their tolerance is similar to mine. When our food arrived, I tasted mine and really liked it because the spice level was exactly what I expected. However, when I tasted my friends' dishes, the spice level was so extreme that I instantly started coughing and couldn’t handle it. We all ordered lamb curry, but the amount of spice in theirs was excessive. I am certain that they did it on purpose.

I love and know Indian food. I cook it at home. I know a little more than the average consumer when it comes to what goes into certain dishes. So as a visiting customer I asked the woman behind the counter if the chef used chicken thigh meat or breast meat for the butter chicken. She answered 'thigh.' Sold! Ok Butter Chicken extra spicy please. After 25 minutes I received chicken breast marinated in a cream sauce with ZERO spice. Extra spicy should be just that. It was a let down and I feel like they have one level of flavor and spice options sold as a choice. Breast meat is dry. Thigh meat is not. Frustrating let down for dinner but at least I got an exposure to Oregon...

Absolutely amazing experience at Masala Kitchen Indian Cuisine! I tried the butter chicken, and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. The chicken was tender and flavorful, with the perfect amount of spice and creaminess. The sauce was rich and had such a comforting, authentic taste. I also had the mango lassi, and it was the perfect sweet, refreshing complement to the meal—smooth and perfectly balanced. You can tell they use fresh ingredients, and everything was cooked to perfection. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick, even though it’s a food cart. Highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic Indian flavors! 5...
