Masala Mastee: Authentic Indian Cuisine in Davidson, NC

This is now my favorite Indian restaurant I have been trying different Indian restaurants and they have been ok but I just went to Masala Mastee the food was so good I don't need to try anymore and its close to me in Davidson I had the shrimp masala omg fantastic the roti was good and the people was so nice decor so cute I loved it

Food is always delicious and tastes so fresh! My favorites are the roadside bhaji, tomatar (tomato) soup, and the paneer masala. Butter chicken and korma are yum too! Service is always on point and attentive. We have never been disappointed.

Our favorite local Indian restaurant! Don't sleep on their Sunday buffet! It's the best!! Service is always so friendly - they really want you to have a great experience there! They have indoor and outdoor dining and it's very clean! Some of our favorite dishes are butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, tandoori chicken, garlic naan, and their desi salad. Lots of parking along the street.

Quaint little downtown Davidson, NC is not necessarily a place you'd expect to find great Indian street food, and in a historic building no less. But Masala Mastee is among the best Indian food we've had not just in Davidson, but pretty much anywhere. If this place was local to us, we'd be regulars. For a small place, they have a big menu, and part of the menu is set up for you to customize the kind of curry, protein and heat level. There were so many things we wanted to try that we ordered a bunch of stuff and took the leftovers home for a second meal. Let's start with the bread. They have a version of naan called kulcha, which is stuffed, in this case with cheese and onion. Super tasty alternative to regular naan -- definitely give it a try! For entrees we had: chicken tikka masala, chicken Railway Station curry, spicy chicken vindaloo and chili chicken. Apart from the vindaloo, we went with medium spice. It was a nice level of heat. Their tikka masala seemed almost more like a korma to me: it was very rich and creamy, with a nice tomato flavor and just a little background heat. One of my favorites! The Railway Station curry was something we'd never seen before in an Indian restaurant. It was fairly mild with a mixture of ingredients cooked down into basically a curry stew. Quite good. The spicy vindaloo did not disappoint in terms of kick. It had potatoes in addition to the chicken, which worked well to offset some of the heat. Finally, the chili chicken was great: perfectly crispy outside, tender and flavorful inside and with a good amount of kick from the chili. Even the basic white basmati rice was very good. We had King Fisher Indian beer (on draft), which paired well with the heat of the food. Service was excellent. If you love Indian food and find yourself in Davidson, NC (worth the little drive from Charlotte), don't miss this place!

Super delish! We tried a bunch of different dishes and one was better than the next. Great naan bread and dipping sauce. Cute little town to walk around in afterwards. We loved it!

We frequent their sister restaurant in Cornelius called Sangham so tried this out! Similar but not the same. We loved the lamb dish and our chicken dish ( drawing blank on name) but the onion chutney was not as good as the other place! The service was great - they even reseated us inside once the mosquitoes started assaulting me LOL it's a refurbished home but very nice decor - clean and convenient with parking options.

Outstanding food and service. Love sitting on the patio on nice evenings. Pro tip- just get it level 4 it's not that spicy!

Authentic Indian food?! I'm always down. We loved the momo's, chaat, and the chicken tikka Masala. The waiter was so accommodating with our 1.5 year old nephew, and gave us plenty of time to order. The ambience is casual and easy to sit with groups of 1-6.

I love what they're doing. I've been ordering different menu items to help educate myself on the different Indian dishes and it's been a really tasty experience. The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 is when I get the naan bread delivered it hardens like it's been microwaved- do you know what I mean? Sometimes when you microwave bread, when it cools down it gets a weird texture - I don't know if they're microwaving their naan or not, but it's the only place where it gets that texture so I think they do. When I order naan from other places it remains soft - not sure what's up. Also, I wish they had menu items similar to Botiwalla (my fav Indian restaurant in CLT) like rolls and sliders. I know it's a little more Americanized, but Lamb Roll at Botiwalla is something I dream about and if Masala Mastee added some items like that I would be eating there much more often.
