Masala Indian Kitchen - South Lyon — Restaurant in South Lyon

We heard rave reviews on Facebook from locals who ate here. So, we planned a Saturday night date! We were not disappointed. Part grocery store, part restaurant. We entered the restaurant and found we could order via kiosk or in person at the counter. We decided to order at the counter. We love that the menu has a photo of each dish. After much deliberation, we choose our meals. The staff was very friendly! Served us with smiles and were welcoming. We ordered 2 dishes and an appetizer. We were given a buzzer and filling a place to sit & wait.

The dining area is spacious and clean. There were many families around us, dining. It was nice. Not too loud. We could hear each other well. There were tvs playing a movie and some music videos. But it was not overwhelming.

Our food only took a short time. Our buzzer buzzed and we grabbed our food and headed back to our table. What a delight! We took photos of the beautiful dishes & shared bites. He got the chicken biriani. I got the chicken panteer. We shared the cauliflower appetizer. Each bite was flavorful. Hot - temperature wise, and just the right spice level. That sweet spot where the flavor is delicious and spice level is just warm enough to make your nose run, but not shed a tear!

The portions were big enough that we did not finish our meals!

We spend $45 for the 2 meals, side of Naan, 2 waters, and cauliflower appetizer. Not a bad price! Especially since we will have another meal of it tomorrow with leftovers!

Give this business some love. The food is fresh & delicious. Service is great. We...

Looks like these folks always prove they are arrogant by nature. Not even ready to apologize for the in responsible answer and rude behavior. Still I didn’t get the answer what is Malabar paragraph and parata. Why can’t you change your menu, paratta with chicken curry or something else. By the way there is a difference between Malabar paratta and normal paratta. I am strongly saying you guys are cheating customer

Worst experience. Please don’t ask what is the difference between Malabar paratta and normal paratta. You will get interesting answer, if you have 3 pics paratta with one curry order that us Malabar paratta. If you don’t have any see dish that is paratta

Today I ordered 3 dishes in this restaurant Malabar paratta with lamb kurhama Goat gongura kurry 1 see normal paratta

Theses guys are CHEATING in the name, ideally thy are serving the same paratta. There is no difference between Malabar paratta and paratta. I called the restaurant after I got my order, all the person who spoke with were very rude and they simply telling arrogant, if you need I will give return. But there is no explanation what is the difference between paratta and Malabar paratta.we all will expose this cheat in many ways until they change the menu or give the explanation what is...

The restaurant when it opened was good. Always opted for take out so can’t speak to dine in experience. Lately the food we get from the restaurant is a hit or miss. We order Samosas which were clearly made for lunch time and refried when we order in the evening. Very oily and tasted stale. Chicken biryani order had chicken and rice which clearly looked and tasted like haphazardly adding chicken to basmati rice which is not how dum biryani is cooked. Added a photo of the amount of bland basmati rice I had to take out of the container to see any chicken. There was no masala whatsoever. It’s just some old chicken with basmati rice. This restaurant has been focusing on buffet crowd and the quality of food for people who do not want to indulge in buffet has gone significantly down. If you enjoy buffet this may be your cup of chai but if you want to enjoy a meal not part of buffet prepare...
