Masalawala & Sons

Great authentic Bengali food. The flavors were excellent. Unfortunately, the Sunday brunch or lunch menu only offers a thali, which I wish I had known beforehand. Aside from that, the food was outstanding. Masalawala & Sons truly delivers on authentic Bengali flavors.

Outstanding experience. Our waitress, Sara, was extremely helpful, telling us spice levels, what went well with certain dishes, and just extremely kind and pleasant. We ordered phuchka, cauliflower fritters, and the fish fry for appetizer. The fish was so good, not your average fried piece of fish, served with a house made mustard. Braised goat for entree with delicious and perfect amount of heat, we ordered fried bread with it. Dessert we had a cottage cheese/cheesecake that was super freaking after our meal. Also we each had a cocktail that were both tasty and absolutely unique. If you ever wanted to impress someone with Indian food, you’d take them here. Interior…cozy, fun and beautifully decorated.

For sumptuous Bengali food, this is the place to be. The food is authentic. Rightly spiced and a good variety of foods you get in Kolkata. The best dish was the fish fry. If you're there please order it first. Loved their luchi and kosha mangsho. The ripon street lamb chop was a surprise entry but was perfectly cooked and tasted awesome. The paratha was a little disappointing but everything else was perfect. So a definite 5/5. The mishri doi as dessert was also very good. The cocktails has intersting names and were good as well. I would definitely recommend this place.

Amazing food! The kosha mangsho, biriyani, and luchi are as authentic as it gets. Also shoutout to the basmati rice beer, which was so smooth! We had a lovely Friday night dinner here and hope to be back soon!

Went for the Restaurant Week prix fixe lunch menu - thali experience. Together we covered both veg and non-veg thalis. If you are South Asian: - Spice level and combination: good, but pretty mild. Not particularly memorable - If you are of Bengali descent, this will seem reasonably authentic but probably the mildest flavoring you have ever experienced. The fish fry is excellent, the paneer pakora/cutlet is not (very thin paneer filling). The mustard/kasundi for dipping is on point - Dal is as Bengalis would make it (slightly sweet), without the sliced coconut which would have added real authenticity. - Kosha mangsho (lamb/goat curry) is just about okay though well-flavored - it lacked piquancy - Bengalis will enjoy the drinks menu naming If you are not of South Asian descent: - enjoyable
