Masala Cafe & Bar

Had a lovely night at Masala. Food was great. I had an issue with how spicy one of my dishes but was replaced without a drama

The best Indian I have ever had!

Masala is a firm favourite of mine! Always a good butter chicken. Friends had lamb vindaloo and paneer tikka masala - both very happy. Enough rice for the three of us.

Great food, nice atmosphere

Great food but atmosphere lacked a little bit.

Delicious!! Great vegetarian options.

Was great food and very cosy restaurant

Great food and excellent service

A below average experience! After waiting 5 minutes to be attended to, we then waited a further 5 minutes for a waitstaff to clean the one (of two) available two seated table. After the table being half cleaned (rice and cutlery still left), we were asked to sit down. Once sat down, we waited a further 15 minutes to be served, and then another 40 minutes to eat our food.. which was good - but not worth the amount of sub pair waiting we had just experienced.

Masala has the best garlic naans I have ever eaten! So soft and garlicky! The chicken korma was also the best I’ve ever had. To summarise, it was delicious!

Food was great. Service was friendly but could have been a bit faster. Would recommend Masala.

Meals come out in great portions size and timing was very reasonable. A few communication issues with drinks but was easily fixed without issue. Great dining experience.

Good food—nothing extraordinary in terms of taste or service, but good.

The staff at Masala were friendly, accommodating, and so speedy! The food came out in 10 minutes flat and was great. We had a great time here

The staff are so lovely at Masala, have had a great experience every time I’ve been

The food was tasty and full of flavour. The staff were attentive. Thanks for a great meal!

Birthday dinner on visit to Wellington. Superb food. The lamb was so tender. I particularly loved the Spinach Chicken. Service was cheerful and prompt. Lovely setting. A great end to a fantastic day in Wellington. Thankyou!

A great time

Excellent food, great service, would definitely go there again. Particularly impressed with the curries and the mango lassi!

Staff were lovely and couldn’t fault the food at all :)

Great service and lovely food!! Would recommend :D

The food was amazing! Decent portion sizes, nice atmosphere and service.
We'll definitely be back :)

Awesome food ... great service
Definitely reccomend....

Fantastic food and service. We will be back and highly recommend this. The best Indian food we’ve had in a long time!

good value

Pleasant serice and a tasty dinner

Had a lovely meal here recently. Would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a good curry.

Food was great we had the banquet and it was tasty and very good value. Served in timely fashion
We enjoyed the meal and would recommend

Very nice meal and good value (even without first table) will definitely be back :-)

The service and the food both were average. I definitely think there are better Indian places on First table than Masala cafe.

We found the meals ar Marsala to be very good value. Couldn’t fault anything. If you don’t like too much spice though, order mild - even medium here has quite a kick.

Lovely dinner

Great service for most of the meal. Food was delicious. Lots to choose from. I asked for my dish to be mild (on the spice scale) but it was a bit too spicy for my liking. The others ordered medium and they were happy with theirs. After the mains we considered ordering dessert but after 20 minutes of waiting for the waitress to come back to the table, we decided not to bother. (It wasn’t that busy when we were there and we did try to get their attention). Overall we enjoyed the meal and would go back again.

Was a great experience! My curry was delicious and the lady that served us was lovely.

Excellent food - we've had a lot of curries in our time and the food at Masala rates amongst the best we've sampled.

Really friendly service and very tasty food.

We ordered one ‘kiwi hot’ vindaloo and a mild korma. Be aware that this place does actually make the dishes hot so be prepared. When one of us complained that the mild korma was too hot the hosts graciously brought out some yoghurt sauce to cool it down and put cream in the original dish. The korma was supposed to have mint in it but you couldn’t taste any mint - it was delicious nevertheless. Overall we recommend you try this place.

I went with a friend, we had a great time, ordered a bunch of plates to share. The food and service were great. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic food and great service - very nice environment and so close to the movie theatre that we left our car at Masala and walked the block to see our movie.

Wonderful authentic food and excellent service.

Nice meal, great service. Ideal pre-show dinner.

Excellent food for a very affordable price. The service was impeccable - there was no pushiness nor were we left unattended. The food was delicious very generous sized portions - we had to get a doggy bag. I'm not a big fan of spice (my partner is) but found the mild not to be too bad. Thanks for a great dinner!

Food is delicious!! The best curry i had a a while!! I loved it!!

Amazing! We had the peshwari beef and prawn madras and they were both absolutely delicious, definitely out new 2 favourite dishes! Amazing value with first table as you get to try things you wouldn't usually and we've definitely found some winners! Always have a great experience when we dine with Masala the flavours are incredible and you don't have to wait long between courses. 100% recommend!

Really lovely staff and the food was great :)

Masala has brilliant food, attentive but not intrusive service and a relaxing decor. It is great for couples, friend catch-ups, families and they can even cater for big groups of 20 or more.
We really had a great time at Masala and will be back for the awesome samosas, curries and bread. Reasonable prices and you will not go home hungry!

Lovely atmosphere and great food!! My partner hasn’t had much experience with Indian food but the staff made great recommendations and he ate every last drop. Will definitely be back - thanks!

Great service and the food was awesome!!! 10/10

Huge fan of this restaurant! We had the rogan josh and butter chicken along with naan and starters, so much flavour and great service! Will be back 100%!
