Sad to see such mixed reviews about Masala. At times, different people have different expectations (whether based on their preconceived idea of how such and such kind of food should taste or look like, this includes my own), so it is a tough call for what makes good or bad food. My husband and I have had meals (mostly dinner) at Masala I'd say 2 times a month during our stay here in SW, and we wouldn't be going back if it wasn't good or met/exceeded our expectations. The owner can be over welcom
My husband and I have had meals (mostly dinner) at Masala I'd say 2 times a month during our stay here in SW, and we wouldn't be going back if it wasn't good or met/exceeded our expectations. The owner can be over welcoming sometimes but always good to be over than under? I suppose.
First up, you get 2 Poppadums with Raita. Poppadums are salty and crunchy, while the Raita is extremely garlicky. We loved it! Husband always steals my share. I have to keep an eye on it.
Husband orders Kingfisher beer ($30), and myself Mango Lassi ($35). Lassi is nice and thick, tend to be a bit sweet but bearable.
We almost always order the same thing, boring but safe. Lamb Korma/Lamb Madras + Dahl Makhani + Garlic Naan. These dishes come out in small portions, and I believe it is for a good reason. With all the sauces in curries and what not, you don't really need big portions.
Lamb was tender and the accompanying curry sauce tastes more complex than other Chinese curries. It's more nutty and has a sweet taste to it. Dahl Makhani is basically black beans cooked for a very long time (along with other things), this has a sweet and creamy taste to it as well. Both dishes get a splash of either yogurt or coconut milk on top.
You can't really taste the garlic in the Garlic Naan but it is thin and crunchy, so it works out for me well.
So for 2 beers, 1 drink, 3 dishes for dinner, all adds up to about HKD$270. A bit expensive (mind you, we're quite thrifty), but always good to have a special night.
