I recently dined at this exceptional Indian restaurant that truly showcases the best Indian cuisine. From the moment we stepped in, the warm hospitality made us feel right at home. The menu featured an impressive assortment of dishes that were nothing short of out of this world. Each dish was a testament to authentic Indian flavors, with rich spices and vibrant ingredients that left a lasting impression. The dessert was a perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable dining experience. The chia ... just perfect!! Whether you’re a fan of Indian cuisine or a newcomer, this restaurant is a must-visit for its delicious food and excellent service.

Didn't take any photos as we were on our way home from Bandon. My friend was wanting Naan bread after two days of golf and poor food choices. We sat inside in a window seat. Drinks were awesome. Then the starters..my friends a vegetarian and I just went with whatever he felt excited about. It was great. I did get Lamb and sang. Very good and tons of food left over...so good, so wholesome and great service.

Great food, good quantity. We got gobhi Manchurian for appetizer and the royal thali. We were 5 of us so we did end up trying almost all the curry options available. Gobhi manchurian tasted nice even though it was more of a honey chilli kind of dish. Overall, food quality was good and all curries tasted different so that was great. Food was very rich and portion size is big for the thali so there is no way you will be able to finish it in one go. The naan was my favorite bit. Lamb Rogan josh was the best. Butter chicken, chanaa masala and shrimp malai curry were also delicious. Medium spice level is decent. If you ask for spicy, it comes with a bunch of chilli powder at the top which does make the curry very spicy. There is no shrikhand with the thali. We got gulag jamuns in place of that. I also got the rose mule which was delicious and had a great ginger kick to it. Would recommend to try this place when in Ashland :)

What can I say, i’m actually here leaving a review. Every now and then you go to a restaurant that leaves you smiling and Masala is just such a place. Me and the misses ended up here on a late valentines date and cannot give enough praise. Excellent flavors and presentation, with great portions to top it off. Our sever was very chill and funny, just warm and inviting atmosphere overall. Highly recommended.

Nice and cute vibes in the restaurant, and amazing food! The wait staff were all very nice too. I recommend the shrimp malai curry :) and the chai of course!

We have eaten Indian food all over the world, including India. Our meal at Masala was amazing. The kitchen took the dishes to a different level, most certainly inspired by the traditional recipes, but unlike any that we have ever had. And then we need to give kudos to the servers. They were attentive and friendly and could speak directly to every dish that was presented. Thank you Amanda. Such a delightful experience!

Hipster, dive vibe in an excellent location. Very safe & walkable neighborhood in an older, less trendy area of Ashland...which keeps the menu prices very reasonable! Drinks were 10, naan was 5 (Even the gluten-free.), and entrees were /- 20. My husband, who dislikes curry, even loved it. Small venue that gets VERY busy after the traditional dinner rush. The bar is a great place to meet friends. Every item exceeded our expectations! Jeremy was great, we appreciated all of his suggestions. We just left but already can’t wait to return. Did I mention that the owner’s name is also Sasha? LOL These are her authentic, family recipes. Her husband is a Southern Oregon native. What an asset to the community.
