Alachi Masala is an Indian restaurant located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The restaurant was fairly empty when we arrived around 6:30pm on a saturday, but it filled up over the next hour. Their food was all quite tasty and pretty good quality. The restaurant is currently BYOB and does not charge a corkage fee.

Items Ordered

Lusuni Gobi

Cauliflower seasoned with garlic, curry leaves and an exotic blend of indian spices
Cost:$6.95

The Lusuni Gobi dish was cauliflower baked in a flavored tomato sauce that tasted a bit like spiced ketchup.

Chana Masala

Chickpeas cooked with onions, tomatoes, and freshly ground spices
Cost:$11.95

The Chana Masala was pretty average. It didn't have the same calibre of flavor that some other Chana Masala's have, but it wasn't bad either.

Hyderabadi Baigan (Chef's Special)

Baby eggplant cooked in onion, peanut, coconut and sesame sauce
Cost:$12.95

The Hyderabadi Baigan was probably the best surprise of the evening. The sauce had a very rich peanut flavor that went really well with the eggplant.

Chicken Vindaloo

Chicken cooked with hot, spicy vinegar mixed sauce and potatoes
Cost:$12.95

The Chicken Vindaloo was pieces of chicken baked in a very spicy tomato-based sauce. It had a little bit of sweetness to it, but the predominant flavor was the spice.
