 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friends had raved about this restaurant, and the reviews were all great, so we visited for the first time last night.
What can I say - the food was absolutely amazing, the service and atmosphere equally so.
Each dish was full of flavour, balancing freshness, complexity and subtlety, each mouthful a new experience.  Forgive me for waxing lyrical, but the food was a new experience, just superb.
I had the lamb Murghi Torkhari and the flavours were out of this world.  One of our companions had the plain ol' Lamb Madras and said it was about the best he'd ever had.  Even the poppadoms were fantastic, beautifully crisp and robust, elevated further by the delicious accompaniment of sauces.
The staff were friendly and attentive, the prices reasonable and the portions generous - we all left completely stuffed.
Believe the hype, this place is fabulous.

It was so lovely of them to include complimentary poppadoms too and the portions were very generous. It was also delivered half an hour before the estimated time which was a very pleasant surprise. Will definitely be ordering from Masasa City again, my new favourite takeaway!
