Masala Street Eatery — Restaurant in Washington

The most perfect place of its kind. Awesome food paired with even better owners. This isn't hyperbole: The best student eatery in Georgetown. I started coming last year after they reopened and fell in love. Its an eatery, so don't expect large-restraunt ambience, but the food is delectable.

I've eaten most items on the menu alongside my friends (fellow Georgetown students who similarly love this place), and each is amazing. The naan is nothing special, but their entrees never disappoint. The portion sizes satisfy gluttons like myself without compromising quality. Aside from their masalas (chicken tikka is my cliche favorite), their appetizers are a hidden gem. In particular, I advise samosa chaat, which comes with a shockingly delicious mint chutney.

I've watched this place rapidly become a fixture for Georgetown students and the city at large. Open late on weekends for hungry students and manned by a friendly, dedicated staff, my out-of-town guests can expect to eat here at least once...

I've ordered from here 36 times, including opening day. I track every single time I get a meal from here because I love the food that much and would like to quantify that. Superb food, great staff (I'm biased because they know me now), reasonable prices for Georgetown, and everything is made to order. I'm happy to see the place evolve since they opened, and I will be glad to follow it into the future until my very dying breath. It's my first recommendation to everybody I know in Georgetown when the topic of food comes up. It is genuinely one of my favorite parts of studying at Georgetown and was a not-insignificant incentive to continue studying here for...

If you’re in Washington, DC—especially around Georgetown—you have to check out Masala Street Eatery! The food was absolutely amazing. The biryanis were full of flavor, and the chicken tikka masala was hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had.

What really stood out, besides the delicious food, was the hospitality. The owners were so kind and welcoming—it felt like visiting family. You can tell they really care about their guests and the quality of their dishes.

Make sure to stop by before 11 PM, as that’s when they close.

Highly recommend this hidden gem in Georgetown to anyone who loves great...
