Masala Square Indian Kitchen

Masala Square Indian Kitchen in Union Square lets you choose a curry sauce and protein rather than work through a long list of repeated combinations. The options include tikka masala, korma, saag, vindaloo, and a mint curry, with basmati rice alongside. Starters range from potato-and-pea samosas to vegetable pakoras and spiced waffle fries.

A separate vegan section includes chickpea curry, tofu mint curry, lentils, and mashed eggplant. Paneer dishes and tandoori chicken give the rest of the table other choices. Garlic naan, onion naan, and whole-wheat roti are available to add. You can reserve a table, join the restaurant’s online waitlist, or arrange pickup and delivery. It’s at 23 Union Square, distinct from Masala on Broadway.
