Masalawala & Sons Brooklyn Reviews from The Last Year
We went to Masalawala yesterday at ~9:20pm.
We waited at the entrance for about 8 minutes until the waitress (who was looking at us from the bar) walked to us to say "IM SORRY THE KITCHEN IS CLOSED NOW". I asked but your website says 10pm. She said "yes but the kitchen closed early." The fact that the they made us wait at the door until 9:30pm so they can tell potential customers that the "kitchen is closed" explains that they did not want us. Very unwelcoming experience. Please do not go. A neighbouring Indian restaurant called "Namaste" was happy to accommodate us and served excellent food with great service. Very unwelcoming experience. I don't recommend and Please do not go to Masalawala.
This restaurant is owned by the same group that owns and
This restaurant is owned by the same group that owns and operates Dhamaka, Adda and Semma so you know the food is going to be good. The menu is short and filled with unfamiliar items - you won't find any butter chicken or paneer tikka masala here. Instead of paneer, they have chhenar dalna which is this incredibly pillow soft housemade cheese braised in a tangy, spicy masala sauce. Also for meat lovers, I recommend the lamb chaap, which is fatty lamb ribs served in a spicy and creamy sauce, served with paratha to sop up the sauce. Great place for Park Slope residents!

Love love Indian food but felt Masalawala was very overhyped and disappointing. Lamb was basically gristle and something about all the dishes just didn't feel right. Server was friendly and nice though.
Just came back after an amazing meal at Masalawala & Sons!
Just came back after an amazing meal at Masalawala & Sons! From food to service to decor, everything was outstanding. The staff were super friendly, Farina and our guy from Goa (sorry forgot to ask his name but he was so attentive) and then Chef Soham with his amazing creations! I don't normally gush like this but tonight it was an exceptionally good meal and experience. It was worth coming from Maryland!!!
The food was great and the server was very attentive.
We went twice and both times, the food was very flavorful and the different dishes had different highlights. Almost everything is spicy so be prepared!
The Unapologetic Foods hospitality group has been on an
The Unapologetic Foods hospitality group has been on an absolute tear since 2018. Helmed by restauranteur Roni Mazumdar and chef Chintan Pandya, it specializes in hyper-regional Indian cuisine. Adda and Dhamaka (rustic pan-Indian), Semma (South Indian), and Rowdy Rooster (Indian fried chicken) all debuted to critical acclaim and netted a treasure trove of accolades including a Michelin Star for Semma and a "Best Chef New York" James Beard award for Pandya. Masalawala & Sons is their newest venture and highlights one of the best kept secrets in the food world: the dynamic cuisine of Kolkata, West Bengal. Both my parents hail from the city, so it was with a mixture of pride, nostalgia, and apprehension that I sat at the table. I hoped it would do the flavors justice. The space is small but lively, adorned with colorful streamers and wall art. Fair or not, I confess I found it strange that there were seemingly no members of the waitstaff of Indian heritage. This was particularly noticeable in the strained pronunciation of certain menu items, which no doubt affected the perceived authenticity of the experience. The service was otherwise decent enough. The three cocktails on the menu bore clever references to famous Bengali figures, but we found them rather run of the mill. My in-depth takes on the menu: Dahi Vada - known as "doi bora" in Kolkata, this is a spongy lentil dumpling soaked in a spiced yogurt. Here was a deceptively potent version of the beloved street snack that struck a wonderful balance between bitter and zesty cumin, refreshing mint, and sweet and sour dairy. Macher Dim - a stylized homage to a regional delicacy, the roe of the ilish (Hilsa) fish. While I am more used to consuming the eggs in a fried spherical form, here it is served as a sort of paste swimming in ghee (clarified butter) and mustard oil that you scoop up with a wooden spoon. I will be the first to say that this is an acquired taste. The roe is salty and funky and the mustard oil, which perfumes a number of Bengali dishes, is super pungent and tad bitter. I happen to love it, and the nostalgic flavor is well reproduced here. Biyebarir Fish Fry - "Biyebari" refers to a wedding reception, where fried bhetki (barramundi) is a fixture in Bengali tradition. This was an incredible version that captured the essence of the dish while elevating it. It almost borrows from fish and chips, in the sense that there were three distinct layers: super crunchy battered crust, followed by a steamy pocket of air, and then juicy well-seasoned fish. Amazing. The accompanying kasundi (mustard sauce) further bumped up the flavor. Bhetki Pathuri - fish caked in a paste of mustard, poppy seeds, and green chili and steamed in a banana leaf. Just incredible and as good as any I've tried. The flesh is moist beyond belief and the flavor is sharp, spicy, and sweet. Morog Boti - these neon red bone-in chicken bites are intense, rich, and spicy. The cool mint chutney is a necessary salve. Kosha Mangsho - a lovely take on the beloved and aromatic mutton (lamb/sheep) curry, oozing with ginger, garlic, and earthy spices. Not as good as my grandmother's, but can't hold that against them. Daab Chingri - this sweet and spicy coconut-based shrimp curry was heavy on aesthetics, coming piping hot in a hollowed coconut shell, but light on flavor. I found it to be flat and lacking in salt and complexity. Luchi - a deep-fried flat bread that is typically torn and used as a doughy vehicle for curries. Whether due to issues with construction or timing, the luchi came to our table deflated rather than in the characteristic puffed state, which was disappointing. My dinner at Masalawala & Sons was a memorable one, and I felt proud to share my regional heritage with my friends. The spirit of home cooking is there but with a more sophisticated touch and look. Indian Bengali cuisine has yet to really achieve a foothold outside of foodie meccas like New York, and I hope the success of this concept portends a future where that is not the case.
We came here on a Saturday evening with a reservation.
It's hard to get a reservation, but not as hard as Dhamaka and Semma, the other two popular restaurants also owned by Unapologetic Foods. This restaurant is Bengali food, while Dhamaka is Northern Indian and Semma is Southern Indian. We ordered a couple of drinks, appetizer, entrees and dessert. Fish is more common in Bengali food than other parts of India. We had two fish dishes - Biyebarir Fish Fry and Bhapa Ilish. Both were good, though Bhapa Ilish has a lot of bones. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who's not comfortable with fish bones. Also, there's limited availability for this dish, and you'd need to go there early in case they run out. My favorite dish was Kosha Mangsho. It's braised goat and very flavorful. Overall, we enjoyed the food. The interior decor looks traditional, and the service was not bad.
Masalawala is an absolute treasure in the world of Indian
Masalawala is an absolute treasure in the world of Indian cuisine, and my recent dining experience there was a tasty one. From the moment we stepped in, the inviting ambiance set the stage for an exceptional meal. The Biyebarir Fish Fry was a true revelation of flavors - crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Equally impressive was the Chili Chicken, a tantalizing dish that left a spicy and savory imprint on my palate. However, the star of the evening for me was the Braised Goat. The tenderness and succulence of the goat meat were a testament to the chef's skill. The dish was not just a meal; it was a journey through rich, aromatic spices that made each bite an experience to savor. The service at Masalawala was exceptional, creating an atmosphere that felt like a home away from home. The staff was attentive, friendly, and their knowledge of the menu added to the overall experience. I'm eagerly anticipating my next visit where I plan to explore more of their culinary offerings with friends and family.
Amazing Indian food! Came here with some friends and it
Amazing Indian food! Came here with some friends and it feels like we had the entire menu. We were able to snag an outdoor table (summer) in their back patio. Its a great small spot and highly recommend it if you can get one. The staff is very friendly and clearly well trained. They made sure to check in on us constantly and the food came out at a good pace. I honestly don't remember everything we ordered - but it was def. way too much food! Some highlights: Lamb Chaap, Biyebarir fish fry, Daab chingri and bhapa maach. There was also a bone marrow dish, usually not my thing, but I really liked this dish. Last, but not least - the pao bread... this stuff is addictive!
5 STARS for the Bengali chicken biryani and the
5 STARS for the Bengali chicken biryani and the phuchkas!!!! I have high expectations when it comes to biryani so you have to get this. My fav biryanis in the city are now this and the one at Semma! The food has a kick tho (I have a higher spice tolerance and love spicy food so if you're like me this place is perfect! Was pleasantly surprised by this spot due to things I heard about it being too spicy but glad I tried it! Don't listen to the nytimes. I would come back to just have those 2 things again. I am not even a fan of pani puri really and I LOVED the phuchka. It's prepared table side and each one is bigger than usually but was hoping that more than 4 would come in a serving. The serving for the biryani is large and can easily feed 3! If I could order this to go I would! We also tried the bhekti paturi - this didn't have enough favor for me and had a fishy taste. I would try some of the other fish dishes next time. Decor is super cute with a bunch of spices written in hindi and the servers are great!! Will be back!!
