I am completely obsessed with this place. I've ordered from here 4 times in the last two weeks and come in person once. The lamb biryani is my absolute favorite, but nothing I've tried has disappointed at all. And I love that the food is actually a bit spicy, instead of defaulting to "American mild". Highly recommended!

Definitely one of the best restaurants in NYC! The Samosa Chaat is delicious and the Chicken Korma is creamy and very flavorful. The Butter Chicken was perfection - it's my favorite dish so I know a good one when I taste it! Highly recommended this place.

I adore Mumbai Masala- the service is always great, and the food is amazing. The owner happened to be our server this past Sunday, and he was delightful. We had a chat about their sister Thai restaurant next door, (haven't tried yet) and he also took a genuine interest in us, and our preferences. I had the chicken vindaloo- and explained that the spicier the better! (Humble brag- I have a certificate for eating "the hottest Phaal in the world" at another spot) he took my input and had my vindaloo heat turned up a few notches - it was delicious! The garlic naan was also delightful. My friends loved their dishes too. (One was the butter chicken, can't remember the other but it has shrimp) Here's a very important #ProTip They do not serve alcohol- BUT- You can BYOB- they have glasss and serve it for you as if you bought if from their own wine room. My only regret? I didn't post this sooner! I've been there so many times over the past few years... and the service and quality have not changed a bit! Always 100! See you soon Mumbai Masala!

I've since returned back to MM to try the butter chicken, which has become my new favorite dish! Seriously, I'm in trouble knowing this place is five minutes walking distance!

Wow. Delivery Indian food can be hit or miss, but Mumbai Masala knocks it out of the park. We had so much butter chicken and rogan josh curry that two of us couldn't eat it all in one sitting...and that's ok, because it tastes just as good warmed up a day later! The lamb samosas were so full of meat, it was almost hard to bite down without making a mess; so good! Coconut rice tastes like it is made fresh to order, and the garlic naan is just perfect.

I give this place 4 out of five. I think if I had not gone to pick it up myself, it would probably be a three. When I got there there were many orders for delivery on the counter. A good sign for the food, bad for customer service. That aside. I loved of the main five dishes I ordered. 2 veggie, 3 meat. The lamb vindaloo is so perfectly spicy. The dal makni was very good. I almost licked the take out container that had the chicken tikka masala, if you like butter chicken, get this, the sauce is better than one's average "creamy curry that is not too spicy" . Saag paneer was decent, could have used a few more pieces of paneer. The pakora were okay, but they were take-out, so they will get soggy. Meat samosa I won't order again, the meat was dry, but they gave lots of very lovely chutney's to go with it. But I would rather order a sixth main dish for the price of the two appetizers. I will most definitely be ordering from here again, but will still go get it myself, because it will be faster when they have a busy night.
