About us

At Masala Indian Cuisine in McLean, VA, we pride ourselves on offering fine Indian cuisine that is cooked with the perfect blend of spices, or masala. The term "masala" refers to the various ground spice mixes used throughout Indian cooking, which are crafted to elevate the flavors of each dish. Our masalas are a harmonious blend of coriander, cumin, black peppercorns, green cardamom, cinnamon, and dried red chiles. Supporting spices like cloves, fennel, mace, and nutmeg also play key roles, depending on the dish. The art of blending these spices in the right proportions is something our Chef, Dilli Acharya, has honed over many years of culinary exploration and training.

Chef Acharya meticulously crafts each masala to suit the unique flavors of meat, vegetables, or fish dishes, ensuring every bite is bursting with authenticity. This careful, precise process is what sets us apart and defines the quality of our food. With a rich heritage in Indian cuisine, Chef Acharya's expertise brings forth a masterful balance of spices that not only enhances flavor but also promotes a deeper understanding of Indian culture and cuisine. We invite you to embark on a culinary journey at Masala Indian Cuisine and experience the artistry of our carefully crafted dishes like never before.
