I was suprised one day when I ordered delivery from my former favorite Indian restaurant Poona when the food arrived and the Menu had a different name on it. Everything I ordered was there and even better than Poona used to be! My father was born in India and I have been eating the stuff for a long long time so I know good Indian when I taste it! This blew my socks off! I knew I had to bring my friend there when she decided to give Indian a try for the first time. I went with her and another girlfriend- we brought our own wine (which is a great way to save money!) and were treated like Queens the whole time! It is rare that a small Indian place that is primerally for take out/deliver etc have sucha nice ambiance. The setting was quiet and lovely, the service was great and the food was the best! Now my friend craves Indian food on special occasions like her birthday! I have converted yet another to the love of Indian food thanx to Alachi Masala! First timers try the Chicken Korma!

Pros: Price, Food, Service, Ambiance

Cons: small place, not good for large groups.

After a few unpleasant “episodes” with Indian food, I placed a boycott on the category for over 5 years. Wading into the waters recently my wife and I came across Alachi Masala and our lives have never been the same. The food here is off the charts good, the service is beyond polite and the cost more than palatable. The owner is often present and goes out of his way to make sure that you have an enjoyable time in his restaurant. And did I mention that it’s a BYOB? AM is by far the best Indian food I have ever, but ever, had and a UWS treasure.
