'Too much is so good, you can't stop eating it. The tandoor-baked breads are not mere swabs for sauce but could be eaten, and enjoyed, on their own; the naan with cilantro and rock salt is terrific, as is the kulcha richly stuffed with minced lamb. Masala Art offers combinations you don't see often around here, but even its more familiar dishes can be revelations. Consider its samosas. They're flakier than a lot of the competition, and their filling of peas, potatoes and sweet raisins tastes fresher, too. A burst of cardamom in every bite helps. In the same vein, soft logs of minced lamb pulse with heat from jalapeno peppers, a shock offset with breezy mint. Pureed spinach is a vibrant green, flecked with corn and rich with garlic...' - WashingtonPost.com

If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience that perfectly blends incredible flavors and a cozy ambiance, look no further than The G.O.A.T Room. The food was nothing short of spectacular. We started with the masala fries, and they were an explosion of flavor, crispy on the outside and coated with just the right amount of spice. I could've drank the tikka dipping sauce through a straw! We also had veggie samosas, tandoori wings, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan. I want to highlight them all but I'll leave it at everything was exceptional. Highly recommended for anyone who loves bold flavors, excellent service, and a cozy yet chic dining spot!

It is pure fine dining. The food is delicious from start to finish and the money you spend is worth it. The drinks presentation wise are elaborate, but maybe not needed.

I love this place! It's always a good experience with great service and even better food. Everything on the menu is top notch, but my go to is the Bombay thali, a delicious variety of vegetarian selections.

Service and flavors were very good. Only issue that we experienced was that we had 3 different entrees that had chicken. Though flavors were great, the chicken in all 3 dishes were very dry.
