Masala Zone Covent Garden

It was my first time eating at any Indian fine dining restaurant (always at Indian grab and go place), but I loved Indian food a lot especially biryani. As my friends know about it we decided to go to Mazala.

Restaurant ambiance is good, I am no one to judge but a lot of dolls hanging on the ceiling (part of their culture I assumed) so I decided not to deal with it. So five star for the ambiance.

Service was good for me. It’s above and beyond. I want to give the guy a 5 star, however, my two Nepali friends said that the server was too much for them, guiding them what too eat and if its enough or not. I have no idea with the food and the serving, my only concern was biryani.

So, food was great. Good actually! Everything came in with a very nice presentation, but in a little bit of portions/servings. (It’s London, i know everything is expensive) Please, tell your waiter to set an expectation that the £19 serving of biryani is not good for 2 people especially if the customer is a biryani lover or main focus to visit the restaurant it too eat biryani. It is just for 1 people. I had an expectation that it was a big serving until I saw it and got a bit disappointed. Garlic Nan was amazing.

We ordered some another kinds of food but I don’t know it exactly, just check it on the picture below.

As a whole experience in Mazala Zone Covent Garden, it was good and fantastic, but a little bit disappointed with my biryani and the service according to my friends.

Still, will definitely coming back to this restaurant with my family and friends. Restaurant is surely recommended to friends.

Masala Zone is a cozy Indian restaurant located in the heart of Covent Garden. With dozens of servers ready to satisfy each and every desire, what will leave you surprised is the amount of knowledge transferred and the availability of staff. Poomi, our waitress, offered us a comprehensive Indian history and culinary lesson, bringing the food to life.
Definitely worth visiting!

A no-frills, honest-to-goodness Indian restaurant that sells Indian food that tastes like it came straight out of Asia. As a Singaporean, this is the closest Indian food in Britain has gotten to tasting like back home for me. It’s spicy, not too sweet, and bursting with flavour. The thali is amazing. The service was prompt and attentive. The atmosphere was gorgeously decorated.

Been there with family and friends a few times. Beautiful unique deco. Always had yummy food, well presented, .All items were cooked with great care and perfection. Service staff were very efficient and polite.

Had a lovely dinner here before going to the theatre. Was busy and a nice atmosphere. The service is slow and you have to get attention of waiting staff often to get your order in, the table next to me were clearly waiting a while before we arrived and no one had come over to ask about drinks or anything. Only because I kept calling the staff over was I able to order drinks and then food whilst table next to me still waited. The starter and dessert were amazing but the main was disappointing as it didn’t have that flavour combination expected in a curry and didn’t pack a punch. The naan was also lack lustre. Ok but not the good stuff that you get when it’s freshly cooked. Overall I would probably not go back just because I love Indian food and the mains let it down, and for the price point the presentation and flavour were lacking. The gulab Jamon and masala chai were really good though. I’d probably give food 3.5/5 stars as the desert and starter were good.

We had a lovely meal here Friday. Got the last table as a walk in. The food was beautifully presented and tasted divine. We had beautiful starters and then thalis on my recommendation. Everything was very good indeed and we all had a taste of everything ordered.
The staff were very friendly and attentive but not intrusive.
The retaurant is lovely too, decorated with Rajastani puppets and old decorative doors.

Masala Zone is an Indian eatery with a colorful decor and several locations in London. Ate at the Covent Garden location, conveniently located close to shops and a few tube stations. The lunch menu offers meat, fish and vegetarian options as well as bowls. We ordered each an entree and shared a papadum appetizer. The portions are generous and the taste delicious. The atmosphere is vibrant and the service top notch. Highly recommend for an authentic Indian dining experience.
