If you're looking for some food after late night drinks, or simply looking for some food that's not pizza or a burger, look no further than Masala Times. It's a great alternative to your typical said pizza and burger and it's very affordable for the portion given, especially in this economy. The space is quite small with about five-ish small tables. Service is very friendly. If you need recommendations, they got you. While you're waiting for your food, they got some signs for you to read to keep you entertained. Bhel Puri ($9) - a really popular Indian snack made with rice puffs, onions, sev, peanuts, ground nut, cilantro chutney, house made sweet and sour chutney, potatoes, green chillies topped with cilantro. Spicy Paneer Bhurji Roll ($10) - If you had Kati Roll before, you certainly will love this. You'll only need to order one of these to be full, not three. This particular one consisted of grated cottage cheese simmered & tossed in a medley of onions, bell peppers & spiced tomato sauce wrapped in a paratha (flatbread). They recommended this one of all the Kati Rolls offered. Chicken Malai Kebab ($17) - I really loved this dish and recommend this if you were to only choose one thing here. They marinate their chicken in sour cream, cream cheese and mild spices for 8-12 hours they said? Idk, but it's for a long time. And first bite of the chicken, it tastes amazing. This is served with onion salad & cilantro chutney. You can choose to get either rice and bread or more Malai Tikka! Lamb Biryani ($21) - This is your standard Biryani: Basmati rice flavored with exotic spices & saffron, tossed & layered with Lamb and a thick gravy and boiled egg, served with Raita (yogurt sauce) & pickled onions. Drinks: Mango Lassi ($7) - Always got to get a Mango Lassi when at an Indian shop. They make theirs in house and it's freaking delicious. Thums Up Soda ($3) - This is my first time trying this and it's essentially Coca Cola. Cool to see them offer the Indian branded Cola along with Limca. Desserts: Ras Malai ($7) - House made soft cottage cheese balls served in chilled creamy cardamom milk. First time having this and I am a fan. Gulaab Jamun ($6) - This is probably my favorite Indian dessert and it's well made here. You get three deep fried balls made of milk, flour, butter and cream, soaked in sugar syrup. The syrup is not overly too sweet either.

Nice take out spot. Tasty pav bhaji loaded with veggies and butter. Good menu with items like kathi rolls, curries, tandoori tikkas, biryanis, vada pav & chaat - something for everyone. Service & ambiance are alright.

One of the best experiences I have ever had in a restaurant in my 5-6 times coming to NYC. Even though we went around 1-2am, the food and service were completely on point. The bathroom was in great shape, and the gentleman at the counter that took our order and served us made the experience so much more enjoyable with his attentiveness and kindness when interacting with the customers. The spot is also a nice 5-7 min walk from a subway station and didn't feel too dangerous when it was late. The place is a clean, cozy environment with great lighting and music. The window in the front alongside the glass door allows for great people watching, and the portions served leaves you feeling you got your money's worth and more. Not being of Indian ethnicity, I can't speak to the authenticity of the food. But me and my GF are avid Indian food enjoyers that have gone to countless of places, and the food at this one is certainly at the top of the list. The Butter Chicken and Lamb Curry were super delicious, and the samosas were the best I've had in recent memory. I wish I had ordered the food to be a little bit more spicy, but that was an error on my part as I never specified that in my order. All in all if you want a solid spot to go to where you know you'll get your money's worth and plenty of delicious food, especially late night, this should be on the top of your list. The exceptional service left us wanting to come back, which we think we will before we leave NYC.

I was visiting NY last week and was in need of a late night meal. Masala Times popped up on Door dash and I was excited to try it. I had it twice! Both times I ordered the paneer wrap with came with paneer onions and a chutney sauce on the side. I also ordered a side of basmati rice. The paneer was so flavorful and tasty. Great texture. The rice was good and very fragrant. I also tried the batata which was a fried potato cake. It was a bit dry but had good flavor. The mango lassi was tasty as well. Definitely a good place to try for a tasty bite!
