MAMA Masala

Review: MAMA Masala

Status: Approved!

Overall score: 7.6

The first approved curry house in 2024 goes to Masala Mama in District 1!

Amidst the aromatic embrace of MAMA Masala's culinary offerings, opinions among members varied as widely as the spectrum of flavours presented. While some reviewers found delight in the tantalizing array of dishes, others offered a more nuanced appraisal. For example, the onion bhajis, though intriguingly different from conventional versions, drew mixed reviews. Similarly, the lamb curry, while boasting a commendable spice profile, was marred by the presence of bony remnants, eliciting both praise and reservation.

Despite these qualms, the naan bread emerged as a shining beacon of culinary excellence, its impeccably crafted texture and flavour eliciting unanimous acclaim. However, the poppadums, though expertly prepared to mitigate greasiness, fell short of expectations, offering a glimpse of potential untapped.
