The mango lassi was freshly made, the appetizers delicious, service incredible, and on an easily accessible road from the main square.

I like their lunch menu and attempt to represent different Indian cuisines. I also like the many…read moresmall dishes instead of one large plate with a mountain of cheap rice and ocean of gravy with a few bits of meat you see in many Indian restaurants in the city. It's tasty, visually appealing and a reasonable price. During the summer, as most places have, they have outdoor bench seating on the sidewalk facing the street. If you are vegetarian or just like good food, this is a place I visit several times a year. It's close to home so might be seeing me more.often this year

Once you enter this restaurant, you'll immediately feel like being in another country (not India or…read moreany other country in Asia for that matter). The jazz playing in the background is fantastic. It was on a pay day right before Easter. I was greeted by a seemingly stressed non-Indian waiter. My table was set within 5 seconds with water, table cloth and the rest... but also a small glass filled with crayolas (???) . at first I thought my table was a children's table. I soon realised that all tables had their bunch of crayolas in glasses. While waiting, I was offered a fantastic tiny portion of ginger tomato soup with creamy coconut. I was delighted! While I was waiting for my main course, an extra spicy hizz frizz (#14 on the menu),a young woman asked "what is Ocra?" to the staff. The waiter invited her to try the soup while explaining. What a great tactic to lure in hungry customers! Having that soup to begin with, might either be a manipulation or a fair announcement of what is coming next. Anyways... I was anxiously waiting for my meal. It finally arrived 50 minutes later. It wasn't bad but nothing special either. And most of all, it didn't taste like Indian food normally does. So was it worth the waiting while slurping a spoon of soup and playing with crayolas? ABSOLUTELY NOT! The reason why this place doesn't deserve a 5 star is mainly because : - it isn't very clear about being exclusively vegetarian and vegan. As a meat lover I was fairly disappointed when realizing that no meat was on the menu. I regretted on why I ended up there. - the time I had to wait for having my meal.... Half hour is okay but a whole hour? Come on. - the size of the portion. It's quite small. A main course isn't enough to quench your hunger. You need several starters to go with it. - the non-Indian waiter's arrogance. I was treated like air, which I didn't appreciate. - the price! It's way too expensive.

This is some real deal Indian food…read more If you're in the mood for Indian, highly recommend this place... they take reservations but they are via phone and almost required. Don't expect to roll up on a Saturday night without one. We made reservations about a week in advance for a 7pm party of two on a Saturday night. The place was totally filled up by 7:30pm. The service was super friendly, fast, and the ambiance was cozy. We ordered the madra curry and lamb curry, with chili and garlic naans. The Currys were super delicious, my favorite being the lamb curry, it has three peppers (their spicy grading on the menu) and is just the right amount of spicy. The naan was so fresh and delicious, could've eaten the whole of it myself.

I've been here once and while I am willing to give it another shot, I don't think I'll be doing that any time soon. The food lacks flavor and is geared towards the local taste. If you're looking for genuine Indian food, try someplace else.

I ended up here and figured Indian food would be great on a day like this. It wasn't as authentic as I'd hoped. The Butter Chicken Korma was more sweet than spicy. Some of the chicken pieces were questionable - either chewy, unseasoned, or weird texture. It definitely kept me full until dinner but it wasn't as satisfying as I hoped.

We shared garlic naan and cheese naan. We both loved all of it. Edit: came back a few days later a little earlier in the day and was disappointed to find that the menu selection is extremely small for lunch. I enjoyed my food a lot less, but I'm picky about Indian food and the small selection didn't have what I wanted. Still definitely recommend, but if you're picky like me, come for dinner, not lunch.

We were a group of 8 people, and despite ordering so much, everything came out in a timely fashion. I will say most of the dishes were on the mild and somewhat sweet side. Everything tasted fine but there were no major standouts; it wasn't as authentic as some Indian restaurants I've had outside of Sweden. It definitely kept me full and it was a decent try overall.

A friend suggested meeting at Masala Kitchen when we were in town visiting, which is how I found…read moremyself eating there last week. The menu for lunch is relatively simple, something that I am told is common in Gothenburg. Essentially, there are two lunch specials for each day, along with a vegetarian option that rotates. We all went with the meat-free selection, which was a veggie dal, some kind of okra dish with lentils and sauces, and we got naan on the side. For what the food was, it was pretty tasty, and it was also filling. For 90 SEK (or about €10), the price was also extremely good. I do wish that there was more of a vegetarian option other than whatever the chef decides to make that day, but even so, it was good. The service was fine. The restaurant itself is small, but there is a pretty quick turnover at lunchtime. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to eat here, but if you're in the area, it's maybe worth checking out.

It was more saucy than I thought it would be, the naan was great and the rice was ok, everything else was a bit of an add on that didn't do much for the dish.
