Not remotely safe for vegetarian or vegan diners

Twice we have been served non-vegan meals when specifically confirming food must be made vegan.

Dining in, we ordered vegan bread which was soaked in ghee/butter. Ordering for takeout, we confirmed multiple times that food must be made vegan but were served entrees with multiple large pieces of chicken/mystery meat.

Both instances resulted in a half hearted apology and general nonchalance. At best this restaurant is careless and loose with their definitions of vegan/vegetarian food but in our experience it seems they make no effort to accommodate dietary restrictions. Proceed with caution.

Pros: Vegan items marked on the menu

Cons: Served large chunks of meat in a "vegan" dish, Management doesn't seem to care

Nice patio and decor

My bestie and i went for dinner on a Saturday night and were sat right away. The outdoor seating was very nice and it had a colorful umbrella. Our waiter was attentive, the wine was good, and the food was savory with a home made taste. They had a happy cow sticker on the door!

Good food

It’s a neat place with good vegetarian options. The only complaint that I have is they don’t open for lunch till 5pm which makes it hard for me to purchase there.

Pros: Great vegetarian options

Cons: Don’t open for lunch till 5pm

Vegan flavor!!!

Wonderful place! Great decor and excellent service, would give it 5 stars if it let me, extensive vegan menu but of a much higher quality than your typical Indian eateries. Cauliflower in sauce appetizer and the Punjab chickpea entree were divine (spicy is very spicy so go with medium or mild if you can’t handle the heat) My flesh eating family thoroughly enjoyed the curry chicken and salmon with biryani rice, so everyone was happy! Good portions and very fresh!

Best Indian Food Around

My husband and I LOVE Masala Box. We order from there pretty consistently. I love that they have an entire section devoted to vegan friendly dishes. Food is always top quality!

☆☆☆☆☆Five star☆☆☆☆☆

I am so lucky to have Masala Box in my neighborhood. Chef Sumita has an entire page of her menu dedicated to vegan dishes. I love the Gobi Phataka, sweet/spicey/crunchy cauliflower, yummy. Also, can personally recommend the somosa, Bundgobi mutter, Baigan bhurta and kachumber salad.

Pros: They have such variety and something to suit most

Cons: None

Decent

I ordered the mushroom & peas, cabbage & peas, garlic naan, and samosas. The mushroom & peas and cabbage & peas were okay. Both dishes didn’t have much flavor. The garlic on the naan was overcooked and bitter. The samosas were this restaurant’s saving grace. They were perfectly crisp and bursting with flavor without being too spicy. They were also a decent serving size, 3 big pieces. Would definitely order the samosas again.

Pros: Menu clearly labels vegan options, Delivery time was fast

Cons: Main dishes don’t have much flavor

Terrific vegan-nouvelle Indian food

I have eaten here several times, and the food is consistently delicious and well-prepared. The vegan options are flagged, and I am confident that what's marked vegan really is vegan, not vegetarian. (This is not always true.) I am particularly fond of dal, and the vegan dal here is always a treat. The breads deserve special mention as well. The presentation is thoughtful and aesthetic. The owner and wait staff are exceptionally accommodating. The restaurant is clean. Although the restaurant is on busy Bell Boulevard, I have never had a problem finding somewhere nearby to park. Highly recommended!

Indian restaurant worth trying

Small restaurant with a clean chic decor. quick service, friendly staff, tasty food. good for groups, options clearly marked. fully stocked bar and open wall seating. parking may be an issue at peak times.

Best vegan offerings on Long Island!

Masala Box is a new style of Indian restaurant with the freshest, cleanest tasting food around. There is something for everyone and an entire page of the menu has vegan and vegetarian options. Their food is always fresh and delicious. This restaurant is family owned and they are extremely welcoming. My favorite vegan dishes there are Baigan Bhurta and Punjabi Chole. There is brown basmati rice and even a vegan gluten free poori bread. I can't rave enough about this place!

Pros: Many vegan options, Nice atmosphere, Friendly service

Cons: Difficult parking
