MasalaCraft - Santa Ana

What a beautiful little jam just places first time visiting here the food was delicious not too spicy for Indian food, but it was still good. The service was great too and the atmosphere is really good. Outdoor seating where you can have your lunch or dinner also indoor seating. The whole restaurant is very beautiful and decorative. I love all the Bollywood posters on the wall. I thought it was very creative. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the mood for some great Indian food.

Best experience ever! Edward is the best, his customer service was on point, always checking on us, offering the products and explaining the menu to understand better. Very welcoming restaurant and the food was fresh and good amount! We choose the lunch time and was perfect! Thanks Edward for all your help and making us have such a good time. 100% recommended 😋

Great atmosphere with a fun Bollywood themed corner, and videos playing. Our host Shiv told us great food options, including lunch specials, and was very attentive and friendly. The food was fantastic! I ordered samosas, saag paneer (my new favourite!), chicken madras, garlic naan, and a mango lassi. Friends ordered delicious butter chicken, onion bahji, and a couple other things I didn’t get the name of but were completely drool worthy. I hope we get to visit again. Thanks for the service!

Party of 4 went for dinner around 930pm on a Friday evening in December. Only couple other people were there. Ordered at the counter, then they brought the food out around 10 minutes later. Liked that they added peppered salad with lemon Indian style to the meal. We had couple of naan, veg biryani, hara paneer curry, and dum aloo curry. Everything was great, very delicious. Enough good for 4 people. Also had 3 tea, and it was served piping hot, freshly made. Total including tips and taxes came to around 90$.

This was the by far the best chicken korma I’ve had in the area! Thanhay and the chefs were extremely helpful with recommending dishes and checking in on me. I felt so welcomed. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic and affordable Indian food.

Great lunch combo and really good vegetarian taste. Lunch combo was available instantly and we were able to have a good meal very quickly. Highly recommend. Edward was a great host and gave us great service.

I am so happy that I was finally able to try Masala Craft! This is rated as the best Indian restaurant in all of Orange County, and after eating here- there is truly is no doubt as to why. I truly believe that every dish I was able to try is 1000/10 across the board. I have only written one google review but this place was too good to not review Butter Chicken- okay I’m not a fan of butter chicken at all but this was AMAZING. Firstly, normally most places skimp out on the amount of protein their is, however there was so many big pieces of chicken that were incredibly tender and juicy. The cream made the dish incredibly decadent in flavor, without making it overwhelmingly creamy. There was a perfect amount of spices added to make the sauce an immaculate balance of sweet and mild spice. Malai Kebab- this was absolutely fantastic. It’s chicken in creamy marinade. The pieces of chicken are huge, and so tender and juicy. It’s seasoned so well also, and the onions served with it adds so much flavor to this decadent dish. Samosas- I’m normally pretty picky about samosas but hands down this is the best samosa I’ve had on the west coast. The fried dough on the outside is perfectly crisp and just the right amount. They also stuff these samosas with spiced potatoes and vegetables which add so much flavor. Definitely order this. Pakoras- one of my favorite dishes!! This was so good. It was perfectly crisp on the outside and the inside vegetables were so tender and soft. This literally melts in your mouth and it’s so delicious and served hot. Also fantastic with the sauces served with it like green chutney. Garlic naan- this naan was so good, it was so fluffy and the amount of garlic was perfect. The naan was so soft and was the perfect accompaniment to the butter chicken. Vegetable biryani- not pictured but this was so delicious. The spices were incredible and it makes for a good entree on its own or as a base for curries or other entrees. It’s also incredibly filling. I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to finally try Masala Craft. This place was absolutely incredible. I enjoyed everything I had. The service and vibes of the restaurant were also great. They truly make sure you have the best dining experience. I can’t wait to come back and eat here!! They also have a sister restaurant tried Karma Lounge which is incredibly popular and I anticipate going there very soon.
