'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

Great place for a small or large group. Ours was a party of 12 and we had to get back to work. They managed to take care of us in plenty of time and the food was delicious! Will definitely go back.

Masala Art is a treasure -- lovely quiet dining room, broad distinctive menu, good service and blessedly quiet, so one can actually carry on a conversation. Also good value for excellent and beautifully presented cuisine. An affordable joy!

This was our first visit and the experience did not disappoint. Since it was VAlentines there was a decent crowd. The wait for seating was longer than expected but once seated, appetizers, wine and main course were spot on. For wine, we had a bottle of mosel Riesling wine from Germany. Nice. We had garlic and plan nan. Awesome. For appetizers we had Dabeli - where have I been!? Had 2 orders of Dahl Poori - the sweet, sour and yogurt mix was quite refreshing and flavorful. For the main we had chicken Saagwala and chicken Chettinad! Put it this way, Das Masala is now my favorite spot. I really appreciated the attentiveness of the staff and the owner checking in on us at the end is the meal. Lastly, each guest seemed to be enjoying the meal and conversation. Not at all rushed. 10 stars!!
