This restaurant is the Indian equivalent to Pei Wei, or Wrap Works. You order at the counter, they give you a number, you go get your own drink, and then someone delivers the food to your table. The restaurant feels new, bright and clean. Masala Wok is a small chain, and this is the only one outside Texas so far, according to the official web site. If you are not familiar with Indian food, there are descriptions and pictures, unlike most Indian restaurants. They also have a kids' menu with Chicken Tikka Quesadillas, Chicken Nuggets and Stir Fry Noodles. The food is described as "Indo-Chinese" because they use a wok to prepare the food. They do serve Chow Mein and Cop Suey, but just about everything else on the menu is Indian. You may order it mild, medium or spicy. Don't let the casual atmosphere lead you to believe that the food will be inferior. This is not like some bland frozen Indian food you might buy at Safeway. It's quite good.

The Food is fusion of Indian and Chinese. This is a new trend and delicacy picked up in India. The origin is mostly from the north eastern part of india where there are a mix of indians and orientals from china, tibet and such. Masala-Wok tries to capture this trend by giving the chinese menu an indian curry flavor. A definite worth a try restaurant. In the US, it is more popular in NY/NJ area. Not all items in the meny can be graded excellent but mostly definite worth trying and exploring for the effort and courage the restaurant has tried to bring in something new. Most chicken items need appreciation. Ginger Masala and American Chopsey was good. The veggie manchurian was average. Items come with Rice/bread/Lo-mein. I dont suggest the steam rice option. They serve beer and some wraps and some unfused regular Indian masala entree too. A little pricey for normal lunch, but for the crave of exploring and being creative and to eat something new acceptable. All Veg Entree is 7.49, Chicken 7.99, Shrimp 8.49 and so on..
