Description: Masala (also transliterated as "massala")is a term used in South Asian cuisines (including Indian, Bangladeshi & Pakistani cuisines) to describe a mixture of spices. A masala can be a combination of dried (and usually dry-roasted) spices or a paste (such as vindaloo masala) made from a mixture of spices & other ingredients often garlic, ginger & onions. It’s known for its smell & is used extensively in Indian cooking to add spice & flavor. At “Masala Indian Cuisine” we believe in doing things the “Masala” Way meaning No Compromises when it comes to Quality. In each Guest we look forward to "Many Happy Returns". From the moment you walk in, “Masala Indian Cuisine” promises you a wonderful experience of simplicity & great taste. So sit back, relax & enjoy the great experience. At “Masala Indian Cuisine”, we are all like a big extended family. We expect our guests to be forgiving with a "pinch of salt" in our shortcomings & generous with a "season to taste" in praise where due!
