The Masala

Probably would award 3.5 if possible, maybe over critical but aligned with recent reviews. Good level of spice, I asked for medium instead of “slightly spicy”, just not enough to give you a kick. Spice was more spice than flavour. Rice very tasty but naan was undercooked, bengal restaurant which is great to see an advertised speciality, however a shame to have “standard” beer. All in all a good quality of curry, spice and flavour mix could be better refined. Positive to see a speciality in “Indian” food.

Was a bit dubious having read a few negative reviews but I have to say the service was fantastic the portion sizes amazing and the taste was really good to. I had the prawn wrapped in spinach fried with onions and fresh ginger my partner had coriander chicken was all super tasty so would highly recommend. As for the portion sizes we both struggled to finish what we had.

The waiters all had a sense of humour and were fast to check if we wanted more drinks. The food didn’t take too long to arrive despite it being busy. I asked for my duck Dansak to be vindaloo hot and they actually made it decently spiced as I expected, fantastic. The food was mega, the spice was perfect and the service was fantastic, thanks so much

Hands down the best curry house in Shrewsbury. Shaf, the owner, is a brilliant host, and recognised us all straight away as we used to be weekly visitors. The curries themselves were delicious, especially the lamb bhuna, and the naans and rice were cooked brilliantly too. The cobra served here is ice cold and tastes delicious, and the brandy is great too. The atmosphere now it has been re-done is brilliant, and really provides a unique feel whilst sitting inside. Overall, I cannot recommend this place enough. It has and will always be my go to place for an Indian in Shrewsbury - this review has been a long time coming! Thanks.

Lovely curry, polite and efficient service and reasonable prices. The only thing we didn't like was the garlic mushrooms which were tasteless (I think they forgot the garlic!). Would go again

My only tip, book in advance. Did wing it and got in on a Saturday night but I wouldn't advice it. Shami & Sheek starters.Massla Special main, not sure if froozen, Chicken and Spinach. Not to sure if other main, Shimla Mirchi. Both were good. Fresh Garlic Naan. Place is packed. Not a coloured person in sight.
