This was our first trip to Masala House, which is to be expected since it's only been open a short while. When we arrived, we were seated right away and drink orders were taken. This is probably the only negative thing of our visit, they only serve soft drinks in a can, so we just had water. We started off with an appetizer called Mo Mo Chicken. They were dumplings filled with spiced chicken, they were awesome. For our entree's my wife chose the Chicken Chili Karahi at a spice level 2 out of 5. She said it was very good and the chicken was tender and the perfect level of spice for her. I ordered the Lamb Tikki Masala at a spice level of 3, but should have gone to a 4. It too was very good. Both dishes came out in little bowls and small plate of jasmine rice for us to share between the two of us. The food was plentiful, we had leftovers. The service was very good, they kept our water glasses full. I really like that you can pick your spice level of your food. We will make a return trip to Masala's the next time we are in the mood for Indian food.
