Masala Zone Covent Garden

Traditional and authentic Indian restaurant in the heart of London. The food is delicious, decor is on point and awesome cocktails. Taking out a point because the veg options are lil less. I believe they can add more to their veg menu but it is a must visit.

What we've ordered: Lamb Rogan Josh Thali Chicken Mangalore Goa Prawn curry Plain Rice Naan and Chapattis Review: We booked online to guarantee availability since we were celebrating our friend's birthday. We were warmly greeted and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was quick despite the restaurant being very busy. Lovely decoration when you enter the restaurant, wooden tables, dark lighting and vibrant Rajasthani puppets hanging from the ceiling. We liked all the food but didn't find much flavours on the prawn curry, it was a bit bland for us. We didn't feel it was authentic Indian food, of course, we were not expecting it to taste as good as the Indian food we had in India but something was missing. For the price paid for the Thali, we expected a bigger lamb portion. Also, the curries come on their own, you have to order rice or something else on the side so the bill can become a bit expensive. We already had in mind to go for desserts somewhere else so we were not planning to try any but because it was our friend's birthday they gave us a Masala brownie with ginger ice cream which was good, an interesting combination of flavours. We had a lovely time and our friend loved it so that was the most important for us and we would pick this place again to celebrate a special occasion.

What is great about this restaurant 1. Good food 2. Great ambience 3. Brilliant Service 4. Amazing location 5. Authentic Indian taste Observations that management should look into 1. Food options are limited in choice 2. I was not expecting discretionary Tip to be part of the bill , rather let customer decide how much tip one would wish to pay

I absolutely loved it here! Came on a Friday night with a reservation booked as it can get very busy and we were welcomed in right away and taken to our table. Loved the low lighting ambience and unique decor. The staff and waiters were so friendly and attentive. I must say I was highly impressed with the service as our food came within 10 mins, even though it was a busy Friday night. The lamb butter chicken dish was probably the best I’ve tasted in a while full of flavour and just delightful. The prawns were just as good. Overall, it was a pleasure to dine here and would definitely visit again. Thanks for an amazing night!

Lovely food and decent prices. A few minutes walk from Covent Garden station. I ordered the mango lassi, gol guppa, lamb biryani with raita, fish and chips for the kids, butter chicken thaali, chicken tikka, lamb rogan josh and garlic naan.
