Excellent!
One of the best Indian restaurant in Wellington.
Tasty food, friendly service, interesting posters and nice Hindi songs in background.
That is perfect place to have my lunch every other day.

Love this place! So far the only Indian place I have found that I like in Wellington. We travel here from Porirua probably once a week for a take away curry. Delicious

My whole family visited the place recommended by my friend. I have heard a lot from my friend and he was right. I been trying different indian restaurant but I missed Masala until now coz I live in different part of Wellington. We had few starters and mains with Naan bread. All came out super quick and all the dishes was outstanding. I like their punch line on the footpath sign outside 'Best curries in Wellington' and I must say it is correct. Perfect spice,heat and so yummy. We went on Saturday and it was $1 BYO perfect to enjoy our wine. I will definetly see you next week again with my friend with BYO. Keep the good work up.

Reasonably priced place. especially good deal for the set menu. The place was huge and maybe because it's cheap price, there were two big tables of young people on the night and it was extremely noisy. A good quick bite- yes, a nice night out for two? Maybe not.

I wasn't a regular Indian cuisine visitor but from the recommendation from colleague of mine, loved the taste of every dish.

Ordered lamb vindaloo spicy level at hot.
The sensation i got after stressful day at work, was mind blowing.

Every dish were freshly cooked and Nan were amazingly tasteful.

I would strongly recommend Masala to anybody that would consider visiting Indian restaurant.

It was busy lunch day and they managed with good friendly service. Ordered chicken 2 payaz and tamato chicken, the dishes were delucious and pretty good naan bread taste. Must visit place. Also good interior with nice seatings.

Had an amazing time here my partner and I were told this was the best indian food in town and they were right! Delicious food, great service, awesome decor, warm atmosphere and all around a great experience!!! This is our second time coming to masala and definitely won’t be our last. 100% recommend the mushroom tandoori and special naan entrees!

Loved eating at Masala a couple of times during my visit to NZ recently. The chef certainly knows his flavours and the owner Monty was always inviting and friendly. Loved the loaded poppadums as an entrepreneur with a Kingfisher. Miss it already.

My favourite restaurant in Welly, hands down! this place has the best Indian cuisine I've had since staying with my 'auntie' from Chennai. My partner and I have date night here once a month and haven't even made a dent into the full menu yet, but everything we've had is divine. the serving sizes appear small at first, but halfway through your meal you'll realize that they're huge - we usually end up bringing some home. the crockery is really cute and authentic, and the serving dish will match the food style. the owner is a jolly man who loves a bit of friendly banter, and his daughters that work as servers are great. seriously, I can't recommend this place enough. the food, drinks, and decor are all top class. see you there soon!

Among the most comprehensive menus I've ever encountered at an Indian restaurant, including Manchurian Chicken, & a few items I'd never even seen before! They also had an impressive drinks menu for a restaurant, including a good selection of Craft, Imported & Domestic beers, not to mention wine & spirits. The wife & I had Onion Bhaji as entree, followed by Lamb Korma with Cheese & Garlic Naan (& of course rice). All were delicious, & the serving sizes were generous. The heat rating system however, was a little different to what I'm accustomed. Mild, Med, Hot, Kiwi Hot, & Indian Hot, where I'm used to seeing around 8-12 heat levels. I ordered the 'Hot' to play it safe, but personally found it to be quite mild, so if you like it hot, you'd best look to at least the Kiwi Hot or Indian Hot. (To be fair, as I was taken a little off-guard by this system, I didn't think to ask if they offered varying levels of Indian Hot, so probably my own fault.) The service was great. I attended with a party of 14, arriving only half hour before they were planning to close kitchen, yet they were very accommodating & patient. Both drinks & food were served promptly & with a smile. We ran out of rice, but they were happy to bring us more as required. Overall, highly recommended. If you visit Windy Welli & enjoy Punjabi food, look no further, this place is for you. Unfortunately, as I was with a large group I didn't take any photos of the food, so took some of the restaurant interior as we were all leaving.

My friend and I arrived for lunch today with a window table available. Promptly was asked if we required drinks and ordered a wine and tea. The Chicken Korma was the star! Rich warm curry and moist tender chicken. Great service, great atmosphere and star performing Chicken Korma - I will be back for more!

Good atmosphere, friendly service, tasty food. It's really central. Carpark can be a little issue especially if you're visiting Friday night or weekends, so be prepared
