Didn't like the food. Friendly staff, clean inside,. May be will never visit again and will never recommend this place. Visited during my trip to Houston, didn't like the biriyani, didn't like the beef at all, didn't liked the chicken, appam was ok. porota was not to the mark.

George Mani
George Mani7/23/2026

The folks at Masala Hut are sincere in offering very good Kerala cuisine in Houston. Their Onam sadhya was excellent and matched by their service. We tried the mutton biriyani which was very good. We will be back to try more of their offerings.

Bindu Kaimal
Bindu Kaimal7/23/2026

Although disappointed to discover they were closed for dine-in after driving from Mansfield, the mutton biryani and Kerala meal truly stood out. The beef fry and fish curry were also exceptionally delightful, making the journey worthwhile with the delicious food they offered.

Abhishek Shete7/23/2026

Fresh and home made taste. Very quick service and looks like family run establishments. The fish fry was one of the best I’ve had. The non veg platter is way too expensive I must say even for how big it was. The Sambhar etc were too limited for the price.

I bought chicken curry and beef curry and they tasted the same. However, if you don't adjust your seasoning, it will be bad in the future because beef curry has the same taste as beef curry. I'm saying this because I didn't get it completely.

This place is for anyone who wants a taste of Mom's cooking. Authentic Indian cooking. Nothing different from regular home cooked food. No real menu..or, all menu items are not available all the time. No buffet, only a la carte. Dine in customer service is poor. About $20 per person.

I ordered Kerala meals, parotta and beef and biriyani. Out of which Kerala meal is the only one I liked and would suggest. Parotta I bought was not cooked well and was frozen. The biriyani was very low quality with no taste and I would never recommend. Staff also less.

Kerala style food. Food is delicious but not so great with service. Its a buffet style and issue is most of the counter items when it goes empty doesn't get filled on time and one has to wait for long or adjust with what ever is later substituted/offered which is not a pleasant experience.

We went for onam sadhya. Food was average. Fake banana leaf , the amount of rice and curries were teaspoonful. I don't think they know the meaning of ONAM (bountiful). Service pathetic. But the price, they knew how to empty people's wallets. Shame.

Worst place ever. We had food catered from there. First they misplaced our order, even though we called it in weeks in advance. Then we got food which we waited for an additional 3 hours and it was what they had cooking. Then when we got the Sambar, it had a large cooked roach in it. I will not order from them again.
