Masala is the only restaurant in town (that I know of) that has multiple dishes (other than fries or salad) that don't revolve around meat or cheese. I do not live in Dryden, but visit a few times a year as I grew up here and my family still lives here. Before Masala opened, it was very difficult for us... More

Good food, the lunch buffet is nice. The staff are very courteous and more that willing to make it a great experience. Kudos to them for making this work in a closed minded little hamburger and fries town.

This is a restaurant with consistent excellent customer service as well as food quality. The buffet is amazing - fresh, unique and kept stocked. The owner is friendly, and will bend over backwards to meet special requests. The decor is warm and vibrant, and the items for sale and ethnic television programming adds that special quality. I go there quite... More

We have been to this restaurant many times since it has opened and have never been disappointed. The food is the best Indian that we have ever eaten and this is compared to the many restaurants in Toronto and Vancouver. The Greek food is also very good if you want a nice change. If you like authentic English fish and... More

I almost didn't go to this restaurant because despite the big open sign all the lights inside were off. When we got closer the lights came on and it was explained that they were saving energy. Saving energy is likely a necessity given how few people were inside. The customer service here is mediocre unless you're dealing with the owner.... More

I travel to Dryden on a regular basis and after discovering Masala it is honestly the only place I prefer. The food is delicious. The buffet is amazing... and if you don't want spicy food... stay away from "Chili Chicken." This is a family owned restaurant that takes great care in providing quality food and service. I've never had a... More

First of all this restaurant confused me because it is an Indian and Greek restaurant. I wasn't really sure how they would compliment each other. As I suspected they didn't. I cannot speak to having anything made off the menu, I just hope it is better than the buffet. The buffet is way to overpriced for the quality of food.... More

When I want to pamper myself with a good meal, I come here. The food is wonderful, the decor is pleasing, and the people who staff the restaurant are very nice and helpful with answering questions.

My husband and I always love to go to this restaurant. Being South Asian makes it hard to find restaurants that are authentic. Masala Restaurant is true to their word; authentic indian food. We just love the food. Plus the owners are friendly and the food is the best Indian food we have ever eaten. We wish the owner all... More
