Excellent!
One of the best Indian restaurant in Wellington.
Tasty food, friendly service, interesting posters and nice Hindi songs in background.
That is perfect place to have my lunch every other day.
Recommendation: Chicken Adrakhi
SO YUM!!! I will definitely recommend to all my friends and family and will be back myself again! Very fast and pleasant service and great place to dine with friends.
Love this place! So far the only Indian place I have found that I like in Wellington. We travel here from Porirua probably once a week for a take away curry. Delicious
Best indian curry in wellington. Love their tandoori dishes very much. Its my routine now to eat at masala. Definitely recommend for lovely indian food.
Best indian in Wellington. Staff is super friendly. Food is absolutely delicious. Good prices, great deal if you order takeaway too. Definitely one of my favorite restaurant in Wellington.
My whole family visited the place recommended by my friend. I have heard a lot from my friend and he was right. I been trying different indian restaurant but I missed Masala until now coz I live in different part of Wellington. We had few starters and mains with Naan bread. All came out super quick and all the dishes was outstanding. I like their punch line on the footpath sign outside 'Best curries in Wellington' and I must say it is correct. Perfect spice,heat and so yummy. We went on Saturday and it was $1 BYO perfect to enjoy our wine. I will definetly see you next week again with my friend with BYO. Keep the good work up.
Reasonably priced place. especially good deal for the set menu. The place was huge and maybe because it's cheap price, there were two big tables of young people on the night and it was extremely noisy. A good quick bite- yes, a nice night out for two? Maybe not.
We have been here for lunch time and the food was super delicious. I often go to other Indian place near my home but Masala was just WOW excellent. The plave is huge and bar also. Very good price for lunch time with free rice abd naan. Highly recommended.
I wasn't a regular Indian cuisine visitor but from the recommendation from colleague of mine, loved the taste of every dish.
Ordered lamb vindaloo spicy level at hot.
The sensation i got after stressful day at work, was mind blowing.
Every dish were freshly cooked and Nan were amazingly tasteful.
I would strongly recommend Masala to anybody that would consider visiting Indian restaurant.
It was busy lunch day and they managed with good friendly service. Ordered chicken 2 payaz and tamato chicken, the dishes were delucious and pretty good naan bread taste. Must visit place. Also good interior with nice seatings.
Team lunch and we decided on Masala.
It was pretty empty, due to a weekday lunchtime, and the ambiance was a bit canteen like.
I ordered an aloo gobi and a garlic naan.
It arrived in good time and was delicious. The Aloo Gobi was flavoursome, very tasty.
The garlic naan stole the show. It was superb, just how I like it. Light with plenty of garlic and buttery. One of the better ones I've had in a Wellington Indian.
I was pleasantly surprised by Masala. will go again.
Went on a Cold,rainy Friday with family. Had the big sizzling appetiser with the kebab,spicy chicken,fish curry...kids loved it and devoured it all, along with the onion bhaji. Lamb Wellington for mains, well cooked and bathed in spices, firm but not tough meat, spicy enough but you could still taste the dish...husband and I both liked it. Butter chicken was alright, nothing special but not bad. Gulab jamun was too sweet for us adults but kids downed it quickly. Garlic naan good conplement to the lamb dish. Friendly and warm service from wait staff. We are likely to come again and try other items.
Awesome food
The taste of curry and the softness of garlic naan is mouth watering.
The environmen of the restaurant and music always want me to stay longer.
Highly recommend
Went here with a group of workmates on a Friday night and I ordered the chicken korma (it's my fave) and I find most Indian places fail to live up to the taste that I get when I order Korma at my curry place near my home.
But you guys... ROCKED MY MOUTH!!
Seriously was soooo good I wanna go back and take my partner.
Only downside was the wait but I can understand you guys had heaps of people other than my group.
Everything delicious. Good start with the Tandoori Mashrooms beautiful lightly spicy with a lot of flavor. The prawns masala love it curry flavor not spicy hot at all. The garlic nan was fresh and delicious.

My girlfriend and I received a complimentary voucher from Zomato for Masala Cafe & Bar. We decided to give it a try on a Friday lunch.
We loved the ambiance! The dim lighting, music, table setting, kitchen setting, bar, and everything else, made us feel we were in a fancy setting, was not intimidating as we felt we could still be casual.
Their bar looks perfect for parties. There were many different seats, we sat on booth-style curved seats, they were very very comfortable. The restaurant was quite busy.
The service was good, our drinks were made as soon as we ordered and came very quickly. We ordered their Mango Lassi, we could definitely taste the mango, and it was not too thick, that it was hard to drink with a straw.
For the mains, we ordered Chicken Korma and Butter Chicken. Both were tasty; the Butter Chicken especially stood out for me. Other butter chicken meals I have had, were too sweet and creamy for me, but their butter chicken had a savoury sour taste to it, which I enjoyed and would definitely come back for.
Although we had a voucher, we found that the prices for the lunch mains were very reasonably priced; average $9.90, with rice, curry, and naan. Portions sizes at first looked like it would not fill us up, but it did.
I would recommend this to anyone, especially people who enjoy Indian cuisine. We would like to try out more dishes and definitely come back there for dinner.
Amazing curries and pretty great service. Ducked in for some takeaway butter chicken and enjoyed a great deal which included rice and naan. Onion bhaji is a top notch mess. Well worth it.
Awesome experience! Guys please go and try and i am sure you will like it!!!! Specially my favourite dal makhni 😁😉 great quality and service... Hats off harshad patel sir ☺😊
Masala is one of the best Indian dine outs in Wellington, and i always order my takeout from there. Its always consistent and tasty. Cant fail with the Butter Chicken however when trying some of my friends dishes, they always seem to be happy with their varied selections also. Would recommend for a cheap and tasty meal as you cant really go wrong with the $12 takeaway menu.
We have a takeaway every week and have tried most of the indian food in Wellington. Masala is the best by far. The food is excellent, very tasty and you get lots of meat in the dishes. Always delivered on time and they are very polite. Also, great place for BYO. I would highly recommend Masala. Chicken Wellington and Tandoori Chicken must Try!!!
This place is always delicious and the food is always ready on time for pick up. Looking forward to heading back there again soon. I can't speck highly enough of the butter chicken here !
Beautiful food. The butter chicken here is great. Service very attentive and the speed of food delivery is mind blowing. Would definitely come back here in the future.
Our favourite Indian restaurant in Wellington, good food good service and priced really well.
Went there this evening. Lovely atmosphere, nice quiet table by the window. Just enough music to keep it relaxing but not awkward silence. Waiter very attentive but not overly. Lovely hot food with suggestions when asked. Special dietary requirements attended too without drama, food on the table within 15min. Highly recommend and we will certainly go back!
Sad to hear the other reviews as we went just last week and the food and service was fab. Very attentive staff and our entree of onion barghi was lovely. Curry wellington had great flavour and lamb spinach saag lovely. In particular the naans were the best we have ever had. Lovely night out, thanks masale
Loved this place. Was not feeling like Indian, but due to the lack of places open in the Christmas period we were recommended this place by chef.
Loved the interior and selection of drinks available. The staff were great, the food was amazing and the price of the naan as reasonable. Have been to a few places now were the naan costs that of an entree.
takes a while to get the waiter's attention to order but the food was great.
Been there a few times, each time has been very impressive. Curries served extremely quickly and taste incredibly authentic and are just delicious. Service friendly and a great atmosphere. Will definitely recommend.
Best Indian in Wellington. Onion bhaji is second to none. The food is so good and the host is brilliant! Best Indian and fantastic if you’re looking for a BYO!
Had an amazing time here my partner and I were told this was the best indian food in town and they were right! Delicious food, great service, awesome decor, warm atmosphere and all around a great experience!!! This is our second time coming to masala and definitely won’t be our last. 100% recommend the mushroom tandoori and special naan entrees!
Loved eating at Masala a couple of times during my visit to NZ recently.
The chef certainly knows his flavours and the owner Monty was always inviting and friendly.
Loved the loaded poppadums as an entrepreneur with a Kingfisher. Miss it already.
My favourite restaurant in Welly, hands down!
this place has the best Indian cuisine I've had since staying with my 'auntie' from Chennai. My partner and I have date night here once a month and haven't even made a dent into the full menu yet, but everything we've had is divine. the serving sizes appear small at first, but halfway through your meal you'll realize that they're huge - we usually end up bringing some home.
the crockery is really cute and authentic, and the serving dish will match the food style. the owner is a jolly man who loves a bit of friendly banter, and his daughters that work as servers are great.
seriously, I can't recommend this place enough. the food, drinks, and decor are all top class.
see you there soon!

Among the most comprehensive menus I've ever encountered at an Indian restaurant, including Manchurian Chicken, & a few items I'd never even seen before!
They also had an impressive drinks menu for a restaurant, including a good selection of Craft, Imported & Domestic beers, not to mention wine & spirits.
The wife & I had Onion Bhaji as entree, followed by Lamb Korma with Cheese & Garlic Naan (& of course rice). All were delicious, & the serving sizes were generous.
The heat rating system however, was a little different to what I'm accustomed.
Mild, Med, Hot, Kiwi Hot, & Indian Hot, where I'm used to seeing around 8-12 heat levels.
I ordered the 'Hot' to play it safe, but personally found it to be quite mild, so if you like it hot, you'd best look to at least the Kiwi Hot or Indian Hot.
(To be fair, as I was taken a little off-guard by this system, I didn't think to ask if they offered varying levels of Indian Hot, so probably my own fault.)
The service was great. I attended with a party of 14, arriving only half hour before they were planning to close kitchen, yet they were very accommodating & patient.
Both drinks & food were served promptly & with a smile. We ran out of rice, but they were happy to bring us more as required.
Overall, highly recommended.
If you visit Windy Welli & enjoy Punjabi food, look no further, this place is for you.
Unfortunately, as I was with a large group I didn't take any photos of the food, so took some of the restaurant interior as we were all leaving.
My friend and I arrived for lunch today with a window table available. Promptly was asked if we required drinks and ordered a wine and tea. The Chicken Korma was the star! Rich warm curry and moist tender chicken. Great service, great atmosphere and star performing Chicken Korma - I will be back for more!
Beautiful butter chicken, the best I have had.
Wonderful owner operated business.
Perfect lunch time!
Delicious Garlic Nann…yum!
what a great surprise, food was outstanding. lovely family service and temperature on curries bang on. recommended
10/10 recommend Masala Wellington. Hands down the best service with the loveliest and most entertaining staff ever. Delicious food, good music and vibes perfect for our friends BYO night we will be back!!
Good atmosphere, friendly service, tasty food. It's really central. Carpark can be a little issue especially if you're visiting Friday night or weekends, so be prepared
Visited with my mum a few days ago and had an amazing experience. The man that served us was so kind and accommodating and our food was delicious. Best food we had while visiting in wellington.
Best Indian restaurant in Wellington. Me and my wife come here alot. Food was amazing as always.
Service outstanding and always with a smile. Highly recommend to one and all
Went here for a stag do. Staff was very friendly and helpful and even joined in conversation. The food was delicious, and it was served hot and fresh. Nothing was a problem . Good range of wines and beers
We LOVED Masala. We had a BYO dinner and the owner Monty was so accomodating and lovely. He even provided some great chats which really entertained the evening. The food was delicious and came out promptly. Highly recommend you go to Masala if you are after some great Indian cuisine and amazing service. Can't wait to go back. Woohoo
Best Indian food I have had in a long long time. Super tasty, authentic and lovely guys that work there. Definitely reccommend 😊
Best Indian in Wellington! Really good quality and decent portion sizes. You have to try the vegetable Manchurian I haven’t had anything like it before! Really friendly service as well.
