The food was lovely, not a bad dish. The service was good, the head waiter kept apologising for the waitress as she was a it unsure,we didn't have a problem. He was very helpful and assisted our choices, my husband is gluten free and they were very accommodating. Will definitely go again.

Our first visit - the food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. This is a must for the Indian cuisine connoisseur as the menu is enticing and very different to other Indian restaurants. We will be back !!!
Amazing!!! Lovely food, excellent service, will definitely be back ����
Food was fresh and chicken tender nan bread was light and crispy and thin spot on well worth the money
Belting curry! Great service and atmosphere! See you again soon!
Very impressed. Had massala lamb chops and they even did a social home made sauce for me. Definitely going back again soon.
Fabulous service and amazing food! Definitely recommended.
Food and service were outstanding. Will definitely be back.
Really great food! Some of the best Indian food I’ve had, to be honest. Modern and hip decor. The music they were playing was really upbeat and in line with the atmosphere. There weren’t very many people in there and it’s a mystery why! This place is truly a gem.
We went in with a large group while there on business, and had a reasonably good meal. However, the service was less than ideal. Our server was quite clear that our entrees came with a choice of rice or naan, yet when we were billed at the end, it appeared to be an extra charge. Further, there appeared to be a service charge of some sort, yet he denied this when asked about it directly from the local in our group. I left entirely unsure of what I had paid for, but other than that, the meal was quite good. Reasonably good amount of food, nice flavors, and the naan was great. However, given the inability of the staff to effectively communicate on standard billing points, not sure I would return.
Really nice food, lovely friendly service, room was a bit cool but we warmed up when the belly pork vindaloo came. Great menu choices, lots of veggie and vegan and gluten free options, very flavoursome and tasty. Reasonable prices, loads of food and a few drinks was less than 50 for us tonight. Recommended.
It was a place I've been curious about opening and its food for a long time. And finally we were able to visit. The food, service and venue were very nice. I especially liked the Punjabi Samosa Chatt. I have eaten Samosa in many places, but the service and taste of this one were incredible. It looks like it will be a restaurant I will visit often.
Masala Craft is located in Walmgate and is a nice cosy little restaurant serving an excellent selection of small dishes as well as more traditional mains. We shared a range of non meat as well as meat small dishes which were delicious and not at all oily. The food is imaginative and flavourful and reasonably priced for the centre of town. Service was attentive and even though the restaurant was a little quiet on a Tuesday evening, it did fill up later. We will certainly return.
Best Indian in York hands down. We love Masala Craft - the food is authentic, they give great sized portions and service is always fab. We’re big fans of their pork belly vindaloo, chicken tikka masala and their tandoori mixed grill. Must order the kachumber salad to really make you feel like you’re eating in an indian home.

Tried this colourful little eatery prior to the University Baroque Ensemble which was being held just a hop away at the NCEM. Lovely, cheery, vibrantly colourful decor. Staff managed to allocate us a table for 3, despite not having a booking, which was very much appreciated. Good selection on the menu. I tried two of the smaller plates, Yoghurt Chaat Boom had a bit of a fiery edge to it, ever so slightly too spicy for my tremulous tum, but the other one, Cauliflower 65, was really yum. Cheffy even came out of his kitchen to check if all the food was fine. They take both cash and card payment here, though there was some delay and confusion around my cash payment. Yes, I would dine here again. It's convenient and has an interesting enough menu to lure me back.
Visited in March and really enjoyed our meal. Everything was fresh and had great flavours. Portion sizes were perfect and even had to take some home. Onion bhaji and chicken pakora side plates were both lush… crispy and not greasy like you would find in other places.

I have been here 3 times now. I am happy to openly state how excellent the food was. I went with my friends and I ordered Panjabi Lamb, Chicken Pakora, Cheese Naan, Pilau Rice and this amazing drink called "Mango Lassi". I am not usually the type of person to experiment with when ordering Indian dishes but this is an exception; every time I come here I always like to try something new and have never been let down so far and I don't think I ever will.
Reasons why I enjoyed the food:
- The Chicken Pakora was a delicious starter for me as it was very juicy and contained lots of flavour. On top of that the sauce that came along gave it a nice smokey texture alongside it which really complimented the chicken pakora.
- The Punjabi Lamb is an excellent choice that I recommend to anyone who visits this place. Typical Indian restaurants that I have visited are white-washed but the seasoning used here were authentic. I could not describe the taste and so I recommend this most of all. The sophistication of the sauce, herbs and tender lamb were delicious.
- The Cheese Naan is something I have not tried ordering before as I usually settle for regular naan but I found that it's even better and worth every bit. I unfortunately forgot about the rest of my meal and focused on this as it was just so flavourful.
When I found out that Masala Craft was closing I was very upset because the two times I visited was greeted with excellent customer service and freshly made high quality food. I am very glad that they have reponed and the design of it is very funky and energetic. It is a place people can recognise if they saw it in the distance and think to themselves "It's masala craft". I find the lightning and overall atmosphere very exuberant. I will definitely be coming here on my birthday again to try even more of the dishes here.

Great atmosphere, delicious food and fast service! Really great and authentic tasting Indian food. Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious. The cocktails were really yummy too. The staff members who looked after us were very friendly and polite.
We will definitely visit again!
Our first visit to this small, interesting little eatery, slightly off the beaten track. We experienced some Indian dishes we had not had anywhere before & was not disappointed. We our now rating this eatery as our top choice for Indian Food in the country. We chose the Pork Vindaloo & Panjabi Lamb for our mains. Both dishes were fabulous with really tender meat & full bodied gravy. The server overly warned about the heat level of the vindaloo however the warmth was just perfect. We shared a mushroom rice however you might want to order a portion each for those with a hearty appetite. We tried the Yorkshire Cheese Nann which I’m happy to report was not overly cheesy. We had to wait 25 mins for drinks to be served a re request for water for the table hence the 4/5 overall but otherwise great. Vegetarians & those with other special dietary requirements are very well catered for too.
Outstanding food 😋❤👌🏼 Incredibly happy with range, price, kids menu (mild curry was a big hit with anti-curry pair!) as was mango sorbet!
Presentation excellent & taste was exceptional. Obvious the chefs know what they're doing! Had to take some home as we were full!
Thanks so much, we will be regulars!
Overall enjoyable and tasty food. Not overly spiced but hot enough to be interesting. Nice naan and roti, we ordered quite a lot of side dishes and finished all of them as well as our main courses. The restaurant was a bit empty when we arrived but filled up quite quickly. When I am back in York I would definitely return.
Very good food and great value for money. Only maked the atmospher a 4 as it was a cold wet and windy night with few people about. Will be back to try something new. Fish curry was fab!
Incredible experience. Really enjoyed all of it, the aesthetic of the whole place was truly lovely to see and was very unique. The staff were very friendly, attentive and always happy to help. The food was exceptional, with the chicken pakora, cheese naan and Mango smoothie being standouts for me. I will definitely come here again with my family.

Amazing food, one of the most authentic Indian places I've been to. Do try the Tandoori prawns there you will definitely love it. I highly recommend this place for anyone.
Amazing Indian food in York. Their pav bhaji is a must try. The staff is really friendly and will do their best to accommodate special requests.
Just returned from an absolutely delightful meal at Masala Craft. Would highly recommend this place for those seeking an indian meal with a contemporary curry-house feel. We ordered the Onian Bhajis, Yoghurt Chaat Boom and Vada Pav to start - all of which were absolutely delicious, and I'd highly recommend that Yoghurt Chaat Boom! Pork Belly Vindaloo and Fish Curry accompanied by Cheese Naan and Masala Chips to follow, again, would highly recommend each of these dishes on their own, but together made for a fantastic Indian banquet for 2! Will definitely return and recommend to others!
Very nice food especially the spinach curry and snack! My Indian friends invited me to have a dinner and it's my first time to taste it. Really good and after that I invited my friends to come here three times already.
Really liked the food, ambience is nice and staff is friendly. They have got the online timelines wrong. They open @5:30 pm please take a note. Food have got good flavours, must try is Pav Bhaji! Yoghurt chart was also very good.
