5 Stars all the way!!!! Welcome to Old Town and thank you for bringing deliciously spicy tasty food to town! The service was amazing , where they were super attentive to make sure you’re happy! And the owners are super friendly! Bollywood Masala is going to be my go to spot! Tons of variety with staying true to flavor! They, as of now is serving one red and one white wine, I had the red. I have to say I’m super picky with wine and the one wine they have, they have done it right! The wine is sourced from India! And their cocktails are special, why? They infused it with Indian spices ! It’s delicious ! Welcome to Old Town! And to much success!

The samosa, biryani and the tandoori chili naan were really good. Raita was very fresh and it was nice to see an Indian restaurant making such a good effort. Mango lassi was pretty good too, very thick and nice. Service was good too - very friendly.

Our first visit and we look forward to coming back. We love Indian cuisine and their selection, preparation and service were excellent. Our chicken curries were customized--one mild, one spicy--the goat curry was excellent and my salmon Tikka was exceptionally good. Thank you for a gourmet experience.

Sid was a great waiter. We sat upstairs next to the window overlooking King Street. Good chicken Marsala, and Garlic Naan. The Bollywood Rum Runner was a fun drink, a bit too sweet for our taste but no regrets.

I loved everything on my Lamb Korma lunch platter (25), especially the Kale Pakora, which was the best I've ever had. I added a Mango Lassi (5) to complete the wonderful meal. Great service, food, and atmosphere.

We made a reservation at Bollywood Masala, and everything exceeded our expectations. The food and service were both excellent. We ordered the butter chicken, lentils, chickpeas, vegetable samosas, and garlic naan—everything was honestly delicious. Our servers were attentive, genuine, and had a great sense of humor, which made the experience even more enjoyable. For drinks, we had the Bollywood Lemonade and a Bellini—both had a perfect balance of alcohol and flavor. Overall, we had a fantastic time and are definitely looking forward to coming back!
