Be cautious with Onion Bhajis

While crispy outside, some find them undercooked inside.

Reviews Summary

Masalla receives praise for its exceptionally tender chicken and flavorful dishes like the South Indian Mustard Red Chilli and Kashmir Rice. However, some diners report significant issues with delivery times, cold food, and blandness in certain dishes, leading to disappointment. Despite some negative experiences, the quality of the chicken remains a consistent highlight for many.

"We got back from a 24 hour journey from holiday and these guys were our life saver.

We asked for their vegetarian option to be made vegan and we had the most delicious and authentic tasting curry in a long time!

Also their Butter Chicken was so good I had to jump on here to say it.

Will be ordering again!"

"Recent order Review:

This ordered arrived during the original ETA but i do believe they took the piss with delivery on this occasion ...

We had ordered from Just Eat and the delivery notifications changed to "out for delivery" around 7.00pm. However, it only takes a 10 minute drive to get to my address, and instead it took over 30 minutes ...

So I can only assume while my food is getting cold, the drivers are doing multiple deliveries at a time? If so, this is not good!

On a more positive note, the food was really good and the chicken like last time was just phenomenal. My only critism on the food today would have been certain parts of the order were alittle greasy.

Original reveiw (4 star):

Let's start with the positives. Delivery was 30 mins early, which I thought was great for me ... It's probably the best quality chicken that is super tender! My partners South Indian Mustard Red Chilli dish was stunning, and so was the Kashmir Rice. The Honey Nan was devoured and to die for!

Sadly, there are some negatives. The Onion Rice was a bit watery and lacked any flavour. The Onion Bhajis were really crispy on the outside but a bit too soft for me on the inside. I believe they should be super crispy throughout ... lastly, the Makhani was a little strange, not the typical Makhani that I'm used to having, which lacked the redish colour and looked more like a Korma (see picture).

I will return and probably try some other things and do recommend for the quality of the chicken. Not many places can reproduce."

"Worst curry I’ve EVER had hands down.. bland doesn’t even begin to describe it! I ordered a chicken tikka masala madras hot, had zero taste! My partner ordered chicken Sri Lanka, again the most tasteless thing she’d ever eaten! To add insult to injury we waited over and hour and a half for it to be delivered! After an hour I rang them and was told it had been delivered to the wrong address, now I’d never of know this if I didn’t chase it up because they didn’t think to let me know my food wasn’t going to arrive! They then informed me that they’ll have a fresh one sent out, half hour later the meal arrived, I’d ordered a chutney tray with my meal and paid for 2 extra popadoms, well I got my chutney tray and 2 popadoms, so they don’t give you any free with the chutney tray, never know a Indian takeaway to do that!
Anyway, I’m the least fussy eater you can imagine and I swear this was diabolical!! Rather of starved and saved myself a few quid! AVOID!!!"
