We’ve been a few times, Masalawala and Sons is a really good Indian restaurant. They have a lot of great dishes executed well, the butter chicken, saag paneer, and chennar dalna were all very tasty. Their bread selection is outstanding. Also, they do really nice cocktails. Everything we ate from the menu was great. My problems with Masalawala are two things. It suffers from this restaurant groups approach to customer service. We ordered, the food started coming out well...read full review
Nice ambience with tasty, authentic Indian dishes. However, our server was a bit unprofessional, making us feel rushed rather than welcomed and relaxed.
amazing food! absolutely loved it. we got the chili chicken, dal makhani, and butter chicken with paratha and rice. the chili chicken was VERY spicy to us because of the ginger but was honestly the most fun i’ve had with food in a while. the other dishes were also perfection. our server, Niryand, and the host provided great service. 10/10, would recommend and will certainly be returning.
