Indian Cuisine at Masala Magic


Indian cuisine at Masala Magic Indian Fusion Restaurant and Bar is now well established in Woodbridge, Virginia.

With the arrival of this new restaurant, I took yet another trip down memory lane...right here in Woodbridge, Virginia.

A culinary trip that is - this one combining the best of southern Indian cuisine and Nepalese specialties.

Located at 14313 Potomac Mills Road, in the Potomac Festival Shopping center, we were lucky enough to discover this new eatery before they even had a grand opening.

Judging from the crowd that night, they will quickly become a popular addition to our local restaurant scene.

Tables set with white tablecloths and neatly folded, cloth napkins make for a true "restaurant" atmosphere. The background music does not drown out a conversation.

The menu alone took me back to the many eateries I frequented throughout India and in Kathmandu.

The fresh, hot and peppery pappadams definitely whet your appetite.

They were incredibly authentic tasting and it was easy to picture myself back on the porch at the beach side restaurant in Madras.

Oops...just dated myself there. Madras is now known as Chennai.

Picking something from the extensive menu was quite a chore but it just means I'll be back for more.

Decisions, decisions - Last night, my initial choice was the Lamb Biryani, then I opted for the Tikka Masala or the Tandoori Lamb. In the end, I ordered my favorite Seekh Kabob and J. ordered the Goat Masala.

Both were well prepared, served up by a friendly staff and spot on in flavor.

We'll be back for more...

Authentic Flavors at Masala Magic
by: The Webmaster

Hi Jordan,

Many thanks for the great review on Masala Magic. It is one of our personal favorites as well and definitely takes us down memory lane.

We spent years in that part of the world - particularly in South Asia - so the food preparation is familiar. We were pleased as can be to discover it in our own back yard. Without a doubt, it comes closest to bringing what we recognize as authentic flavors to this corner of northern Virginia.

It is indeed a good thing that the intensity of spices can be "customized" as some will set your taste buds on fire!

I distinctly recall one lamb curry having us in tears by the second bite. But it was SO good!

Masala Magic - Love This Place!
by: Jordan

My wife and I love Masala Magic! We have yet to leave there hungry, or unhappy. In fact we usually have leftovers.

I was new to Indian cuisine so the first time I decided to try their lunch buffet and was pleasantly surprised.

Since then Ive branched out and continued to try new dishes. However their Saag is a perennial favorite.

One of the best features is you can request levels of heat on many dishes.

Ill be back again and again.
