Masala is one of the few options for vegans (and, really, even vegetarians) in Iowa City. It is relatively inexpensive and the service is quick. As long as your experience of Indian food is limited...

I've been here twice, stopping in off I-80 while driving cross-country. The lunch buffet is about 7 bucks plus drinks, which is good value. The buffet itself offers naan, which is nice and not...

My favorite Indian restaurant in Iowa City. Everyone who works there is incredibly kind and helpful (esp. if you've never tried Indian cuisine). The food is delectable and I've never had a better...

Owners are super friendly and, if you go often enough, may even remember your "usual". Navratan Curry and Aloo Palak. are my hands down faves. 4 out of 5 times I'm loving the food, that other time...

For great vegetarian Indian food at a fair price, Masala cannot be beaten. Their lunch buffet is such a great deal that I wish they'd offer a dinner buffet as well. Also, the service is outstanding,...

Is it possible to find good Indian food in IOWA?I didn't think so until I tried Masala. As a vegetarian, it's hard to find many places that cater to your needs. Masala was an exception, and I was...

Decent, budget-friendly northern Indian food--what more can you say? Monday's $6.95 deal is a nice discount; you'll get leftovers out of that, too, so think of the value! Or not.Exotic India in...

If you're a vegetarian on a small budget, you'll dig Masala. Probably the best you can get for Vegetarian Indian food in Iowa City, but I've had hearty Indian elsewhere. Meh, I wasn't terribly...

I'm not an expert on Indian food, but this is the best I've ever had! The naan and raita by themselves are enough to ensure that I pounce on every one of the rare opportunities I get to eat here, but...

The Masala Indian restaurant is very ordinary. There is nothing impressive to say about the food or the decor. The place looks really shabby and can be better maintained. The samosas is pretty good. I...

Even though I'm not an expert on Indian food, I can tell you that this is the better of the two Indian restaurants in Iowa City. The food is consistently terrific. I've tried over half of the things...

As both a life-long vegetarian and Indian food junkie, I was so happy to find Masala right in down town Iowa City. They have a terrific lunch buffet, usually with four or five main dishes, naan, sid...
