Magic Masala Indian Cuisine

Such a wonderful place. Their dal is the most flavorful I’ve ever had in Seattle. And the samosa chaat is probably my favorite dish there, even though it is an appetizer! Very filling and usually enough for just me. For some reason, it has been difficult for me to find authentic chaat-based dishes in Seattle (especially samosa chaat, which is also my top choice!!). So I am very grateful they carry this, along with many other options to choose from. I always get their chai too. I like that it isn’t sweet, and you can add the sweetener yourself. Especially nice and warming for this colder time of year. Thank you! Excited to bring my friends and family here too.

This place is incredible! I don't get Indian food very often, but I'm so glad I went here with my family. The waiters were super helpful and friendly, frequently checking on us and refilling water. One waiter gave me a recommendation for his favorite curry, Methi Chicken Curry, and it was everyone's favorite! All the food was delicious, well priced, and well portioned, plus the menu is very extensive and easy to navigate on their website. Absolutely come here if you like Indian food or are looking to try something new!

Date of Visit: May 8, 2025 We dined at Magic Masala Indian Cuisine today, and what an incredible experience it was! The restaurant was quite busy, which is always a good sign, but we were still seated comfortably and served promptly. The ambiance was clean and welcoming, perfect for enjoying a hearty Indian meal. We tried a wide variety of dishes: cheeku shake, lamb biryani, paneer biryani, dal makhni, fish pakora, aloo tikki chaat, chai, cucumber raita, Hakka noodles, and chicken tikka. Every dish stood out in flavor and authenticity, and the portions were generous. The prices were surprisingly very reasonable, especially considering the high quality and portion sizes. Our server, Harshank, provided excellent service. He checked on us multiple times, made us feel genuinely welcome, and even recommended a few amazing dishes that we absolutely loved. His attentiveness really elevated our dining experience. One dish that especially stood out for me was the dal makhni—it had a unique flavor profile compared to the North Indian style I grew up with, and I found it to be absolutely delicious. The biryanis were rich and flavorful, the appetizers were crisp and fresh, and the chai was the perfect end to a filling meal. Even though my stomach was full, my eyes wanted more—everything looked so good! This place definitely knows how to leave an impression, and we will absolutely be coming back to try more from the menu. Highly recommend Magic Masala Indian Cuisine for anyone craving authentic Indian flavors, generous portions, and great service.

We recently ordered takeout from Magic Masala Indian Cuisine and were seriously impressed! We got the Babycorn Chatpata, Chilli Chicken, and Burnt Garlic Veg Noodles — all of them were absolutely delicious. The Babycorn Chatpata was perfectly spiced and crispy, the Chilli Chicken was juicy and delicious, and the noodles had that perfect garlicky kick with fresh veggies. Even as a takeout meal, everything was packed perfectly and stayed hot and tasty. You can really tell they put care into their cooking. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for flavorful Indian-Chinese fusion. We’ll definitely be ordering again!

I ordered Butter chicken and chicken dum biryani from this place. Chicken dum biryani came with no chicken and no masala , it was just bland colored rice. In butter chicken , the chicken was so under cooked and hard that I couldn’t eat it. Please avoid this place . There are much better places.

So good, Magic Masala opening close to where we live is the best thing that’s happened in 2025! My husband is from South India and we would drive 45 min~ to Bothell and Kirkland to the couple places with good, home-style biryani, but now that Magic Masala is here close to us and has amazing chicken 65 biryani, chicken fry biryani, etc we are sooo happy. We dined in for the first time about 3 weeks ago, since then we have ordered take out at least 4-5 times and dined in twice. The portions are very large and price reasonable, one biryani will usually make 2 meals for the both of us. Sangamam also opened in Fremont recently, and we will go there for dosa sometimes or with someone who wants to have food served in fancy plates, but the actual food at Magic Masala (especially the biryani!!) is honestly so much better and the portions are large. The Dahi Puri is also great and can’t wait to try the rest of their food. We have friends from Hyderabad who live in the area and they also started getting food here regularly.

First time here, great food and service. Will definitely be a returning customer! I enjoy all dishes but my dish is the tandoori. Moist and flavorful, not serve with rice or a side of their Chana Masala which there is another restaurant at Northgate that does that and such a good combination. This doesn’t not disappoint but those sides have to be ordered separately. Note on my rating, sharing this as I believe some may assume a 3-star review indicates a mediocre experience. 5 stars: Exceptional! Outstanding food, service, and/or experience—well worth traveling for. (For example, we often drive from San Antonio to Austin just for Uchi.) 4 stars: Surpasses expectations in terms of food, service, and/or ambiance. 3 stars: Solidly good or meets expectations. I would revisit any place rated 3 stars or higher. 2 stars: Falls below acceptable standards for food or service. lol 1 star: Best to avoid.

Chicken fry biryani is tasty 😋 Magic Masala, Tell us what is the rice brand you are using it 🤔. It is perfect for biryani. Keep it up guys.
