Masala Restaurant
Restaurant Review
It’s rare to find the kind of brilliant fusion of old world and new world that Masala delivers. Chef Ashley Popat has created a restaurant where earthy colors drape modern designs, time-honored spices meet exotic presentation, and India and America collaborate to throw a celebration of the five senses. Chef Popat’s specialty is her secret blend of spices, called Gharam Masala, which consists of 30 different whole spices she grinds herself. Enjoy Tandoori, Chutnies, and an array of Chef’s Specials. Expect Chef Popat and her excellent staff to make you feel welcomed, and prepare to enjoy a tour through the spices of India.

Title: | Excellent food, Excellent Dining Experience |
We made reservations for two on for Saturday night at around 7 and were seated right away upon arrival. All of the employees were extremely friendly and accommodating. The food here was honestly the highlight of my night. I have only had food this great one other time in my life at 'Lucille's", and had never even tried Indian food. Now I'm hooked! The atmosphere definitely deserves note- the decor and ambiance worked perfectly. The Masala is fairly quiet compared to most restaurants in the Gaslamp, which allowed for dinner conversation. A little pricey for a regular dinner, as are most restaurants in the Gaslamp, but I am certain that I will make a reservation there the next time I have any extra money, a special night, or an event. If you don't dine here at least once, you are missing out.
