Gaia Masala & Burger New York

Gaia Masala & Burgers Excellent customer service. Friendly, patient, and helpful. I love how the menu clearly marked the vegan and gluten free options. There are so many vegan options! The portions are huge. The prices are great, especially for the amount of food they give you. And the place was very clean. I was elated to see our server cleanse his hands between tasks and handling food. I ordered the Saag because Aloo Saag is my favorite dish and I haven’t had it in like forever because most places don’t make it to my liking or they don’t make it vegan. Theirs didn’t have the aloo (potatoes), but that didn’t keep it from being an amazing dish. I ordered spice level hot and it was the perfect amount of heat. Delicious dish. Habibi ordered the Chicken Cheese Masala fries, Lamb Butter Masala, and Garlic Cheese Naan. He loved his food as well. This place is open to 3am, which was extremely fortunate for us because we dined in at 2am. The menu is pretty extensive. There’s something for everyone. Be sure to check them out!

Alisha was the sweetest person ever. The service was incredible, she was very attentive and gave me incredible recommendations for all of the food. Everything came out INCREDIBLY hot and fresh and The portions are massive!!! I really enjoyed my experience. The vibe was not busy, but steady. So I got to sit down to catch up on work and truly enjoy my meal.

Omg the food is so good!! I’ve been searching for a decently priced Indian/Halal pizza & burger spot AND their portion sizes are huge for me. Definitely will be enjoying it at home, sharing with my loved ones, and telling everyone I know to try it. I will be back for sure. The service is also super friendly and the ambience was perfectly chill for an introvert like me.

Food&drink are 10/10. Service is 10/10. Atmosphere is 10/10. I recommend this spot for everyone I know in the area. I’ve been here a couple of times and they kill it every time. We ordered Paneer Masala Pizza and it’s phenomenal. The server was sooo friendly and she even got us some Mango Lassi to try. It was delish!!!

Everything was EXCELLENT! Alisha is a very tentative, nice waitress, very skilled at her job. No wonder this place has 5 stars at ~400 reviews. The spice levels, quality and taste was amazing. I even could see the chef in the back rolling out our Garlic, jalapeno cheese naan fresh in the kitchen. The picture of the masala fries and array of menu is what brought us here. And we'll be back!

Food was absolutely fantastic - We ordered the beef masala burger and the butter chicken with rice and roti. This was our first time here and we highly recommend. Our server was so sweet and welcoming. I definitely will be returning with friends and family!

I was skeptical at first, 5 out of 5 sounds too good to be true. But this place met and exceeded all expectations. The food was all carefully prepared fresh and tasty. We enjoyed the lunch special and the value was incredible. The environment was cozy and the waitress was sweet and friendly. Look no further for delicious and authentic Indian cuisine. Highly recommend!

We ordered drinks, appetizers and mains and everything was amazing, delicious and fresh. I loved how everything came out quick and was hot. We got the sang paneer (medium) and lamb korma (medium plus). We also ordered the garlic cheese naan and I’ve gotta say it was the best naan I’ve ever had. Super cheesy and yummy I will say they were the perfect amount of spice for us as my boyfriend enjoys spicy things the medium plus was just the right amount of heat for him. We will definitely be visiting again soon! Come by and give this spot a chance you won’t regret it

Food was delicious and there are so many lamb pieces in the rice. Chicken sandwiches is huge. I wrapped it with Nan and sauce they gave me so many kinds. I definitely return to buy food and grab a lunch.

What a welcome addition to Astoria! Gaia Masala & Burger is a fusion restaurant that specializes in Indian and American cuisine. In addition to their Indian and Mediterranean dishes, they are known for their masala burgers, which include tikka masala sauce.  I had passed them many, many times and always thought this was a grubby restaurant; however, when I ventured inside, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of options and seating arrangements. I ordered my favorite, a lamb masala, and was delighted to see how tasty it was, not too spicy. What is great about their arrival in Astoria is that they are one of the very few restaurants that are open late on Broadway, so you can always depend on a good meal. A burger version complements every traditional Indian meal. In addition, they offer cheese steaks and gyros, so most culinary needs are met. I am now a firm fan and can recommend it, and I plan to return soon.

Finally got a chance to come here after walking past it so many times on my walk from the train station. We walked in on a Friday night and were welcomed immediately by a friendly server. We started off with the chicken tikka masala calzone which is quite unique. The crust was soft, buttery and the chicken tikka masala with mozzarella filling was delicious. Our main entree was the chicken tikka masala, which was creamy, appropriately spicy (medium). The portions were huge! Overall very good value for what you pay for. I will definitely be back and can't wait to try the rest of their menu. The place itself was casual and very clean. Definitely recommend trying this place out if you're in the area!

Always passed by this place but never got the chance to eat here until now. Solid yummy flavors, and the medium spice level is SPICY. The cheesy masala fries were our favorite - really addicting and didn't get soggy super quick. Mango lassi was really thick if that's your preference. We took a lot of leftovers home, & they still tasted great heated up. Would come back again!

love that they have so many vegan options especially things that aren't normally vegan. the tikki masala tofu and vegan korma were so delicious! and they actually make it spicy when requested which is the best - highly recommend!

I went in person and ordered their Chicken Biryani and it was really good! The service was great and they offered myself and my friend drinks in case we wanted. Would recommend anyone to go and try as they have a lot of options as well.

Got the chicken tikka masala cheesesteak and it seriously did not disappoint. The sandwich was packed with flavor and juicy chicken. I asked for it to be spicy and they really brought the heat. It was also such a substantial portion I had to split it into two meals. The cajun curly fries were also a fantastic addition. I got it delivered so can't speak much to ambiance but I would definitely check this place out.
