Masala Times

Masala Times is such a great spot for Indian street-style food and curries—I’m honestly obsessed! The place is super cute, trendy, and very clean inside, which makes the whole experience even better. The staff is incredibly sweet and welcoming too.<br><br>I tried a variety of dishes and everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. From the classic street food flavors to the comforting curries, every bite hit the spot. The drinks and desserts were just as good and the perfect way to end the meal.<br><br>Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quick, satisfying bite on the go in NYC!

Had an amazing experience at Masala Time! Every dish we tried was packed with authentic flavor. The Chicken Keema Pav was perfectly spiced and so satisfying, while the Vada Pav was crisp, flavorful, and just like the street food you dream of. The Lamb Curry was rich, tender, and full of depth — absolutely delicious!<br><br>The staff was friendly, and the vibe was warm and welcoming. If you’re craving authentic desi flavors in New York, this place is a must-visit! 🍛🔥

Small, not crowded. I got the pav bhaji, mango lassi, and chai. All really good, noticed the pav was extremely fluffy and bhaji was amazing. Lassi was expensive and a little too sweet imo, but still good.

Went with my husband and daughter. The food was amazing. My daughter loved their Shrimp combo...the staff is super friendly.

The employees were super sweet here! I ordered a chicken tikka platter and my friend ordered a chicken paneer bowl with lentils I believe. Both were well done, I finished my whole plate. As a fellow<br>South Asian, the soundtrack they have is all bangers. Loved the vibes and food it was well rounded :)

Simply excellent!<br>I got the Pav Bhaji (extra Pav of course!) and Aam Panna.<br><br>It’s medium spicy to taste with perfect balance of spices! I would ask for extra butter next time and also the bread to be a little less toasted. I like it a little softer.<br><br>Ralin was amazing! Great customer service and the ambiance was warm! Great date night spot!!

This restaurant is a true gem. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance felt warm and inviting, setting the tone for a great dining experience. The food was exceptionally flavorful and well-balanced, with clear attention to quality ingredients and presentation. Every dish tasted thoughtfully prepared, and the service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I left genuinely impressed and looking forward to coming back again.

An excellent place to gorge on South Asian street food while in the Village chasing down Winter Jazz Fest sites!<br>Tasty and authentic crunchy papadi chat - with tasty Chaat - order our or dine in. Next to the LPR club.

My family and I tried their Biryani that was very delicious. The spice level was perfect for us but definitely on the spicy side for most Americans.<br><br>The restaurant staff were friendly and the service was fast.

Amazing food and service! The Chicken Tikka Masala and the Samosa Paav is delicious, with great flavor and spice. We will definitely be back.

A great place for some great food. Open late which is always a plus. Food is fresh. Love the box it comes with. Got the samosa chaat and saag Chana. Both were great. Got roti and rice with pickled onions. Also came with daal but not sure why I didn’t like this daal. Seemed watered down but it came with it so I wasn’t bothered. Definitely the saag Chana was a hit. Will be coming back.

Omg I loved this place. So cute and trendy and clean inside. The sweetest staff ever. So patient explaining everything they have. We got thumbs up soda which is an indian coke and the best mango lassi in nyc. Thick and sweet n tasty. I will say all the sauces were fantastic. The vada paav sandwich came with 2. The bread toasted and vegetarian potato patties were outstanding. Get the sauces and pour it on. Epic food. The spicy paneer bhurji roll outstanding. Tasty with the fresh green sauce. The Kathi bread phenomenal. Every is made to order and quality. Every ingredient and texture is tasted. The shrimp tikka masala box 10 out of 10. I ordered with the bread roll, rice and onions. Huge portions here. The shrimp fresh and sauce was buttery n sweet. The chicken seekh kebab was outrageous in every good way. Huge, fresh and flavorful. I saw them making it in the back. That came with a light green sauce rice and bread too. Yummy. So much heart and quality in every bite. Will definitely be ordering to go and or deliver but I’d come in again. They are open late. Ten out of ten! Not greasy or salty. Just perfect.

Masala Times is where NYC meets Mumbai 🇮🇳✨ Bold spices, smoky kebabs, and street food flavors that hit every single time.<br><br>Located in the heart of Greenwich Village, this spot brings the true taste of India straight to NYC streets. The Chicken Acari Kebab? So tender it melts in your mouth. The Chicken Tikka Masala box? Comfort in every bite. And the Shrimp Biryani? Packed with flavor that keeps you coming back. 🍤🔥<br><br>Perfect for late-night cravings (open till 4 AM on weekends!) or a midweek comfort food fix. Service is quick, the staff is friendly, and the Bollywood vibes make the whole experience even better.

Been wanting to try some quick bites here for a while now. Finally had the chance! Easy self serve kiosk to order your food. Got the vada pav and tandoori mushroom roll. Amazing spice mix in the roll, felt like I was back in Mumbai! The vada pav was just like any other Indian takeout. They also gave us soda on the house for making us wait longer than usual! I’d say spice levels are mediocre (even “spicy”), for someone with a decent heat tolerance. Price point is great for the quality and quantity. Def recommend the roll and I’ll be back to try the paneer/dal combo.

An impeccable experience from start to finish! Ever since moving to New York, myself and my husband needed to find a Desi place that hit the spot! This was in! From the starters to mains to the sweet dessert and the mango lassi…WOW! The taste, the spices…unbelievable! The food is so full of flavour and so wholesome, it truly was a journey throughout the meal and we were absolutely blown away! The service was incredible and the place is so lovely with great music and it truly feels like you’re in a different world. This is a very special place and somewhere we will be visiting a lot!
