I feel for the owners they are doing everything on their own, I ordered the Mezbaan and morug palao, the mezbaan was just okay it's not like what I had in Chittagong, but the morug palao was awesome, the owner was super nice talked to us as well about his homeland, Shouaib was a great person, and very humble, the rice had a wonderful smell, and the chicken was tender. The gravy was so good in the morug palao, and the rice was super fragrant and melts in your mouth, the mezbaan wasn't really good, I have to be honest, it's not like what I had in Chittagong, but the morug palao is awesome decent portion, the meat was tender and rice was moist, probably one of the best Bengali restaurants in the gta. read more

Perhaps the best shahi style Bangladeshi restaurant in the GTA! I've tried the whole ghoroa-premium-chawkbazaar holy trinity but Masala King is hands down the best when it comes to Bangladeshi delicacies such as polao-roast (these are what Bangladeshis eat for special occasions). The restaurant opened just two weeks ago so I feel the service was extra nice because they are trying to form a new customer base. We were welcomed by green mango juice shots which were super refreshing. I ordered a chicken roast with polao and it's the closest I've had from the ones back home in Bangladesh. Everything was perfect about the roast, the spice balance, the tastes yum! But the best item I would say is the Mughlai Chicken; be cautious though, its blindingly spicy! The dish is so simple and yet so flavourful, really fills you up. The prices are reasonable and the ambience is very homey. The restaurant is run by Masuda Khatun and her friends and family. So truly, it feels like a home cooked meal. read more

I was passing by this restaurant during lunch and decided to stop by for a bite or two. I was greeted by a very friendly host who happened to be from Bangladesh and spoke Bengali. I ended up ordering a fish stick appetizer and my main dish was King Goat Rezala. The hot Rezala was served with a bowl of fragrant rice. All the items served were delicious and I could not help stuffing myself. I will be back to sample the other items on the menu. read more

I eat more butter chicken than my physician recommends. Believe me when I say this is the dopest butter chicken in Toronto. Get the naan bread it's big and fresh. The portions are outstanding and the food is unforgettable. I try to hit it every time I get in the area. read more

Just had a wonderful meal! Great service flavourful and delicious. Spicy duck and creamy goat. We will be back.

This is one of my favourite Bangladeshi restaurants in Canada. I had their chicken jhal fry with polau. It made me feel like I was back home in Bangladesh and having one of the best jhal fry ever. Their polau roast tastes very much like the ones served in traditional bangladeshi weddings and I was very surprised to find such authentic taste here in Canada. The service is very homely. They also served us complimentary green mango juice, a rare summer delicacy of Bangladesh. The ambience was 10/10. I will definitely come here again and again. One of the best food experiences i had in Canada. read more

Thai soup is not good. too much sugar. Only one shrimp in my 10$ soup bowl. Less quantity. Not recommended.

I always love to write the first Yelp review of a restaurant. While driving past through this place last week, I noticed the soft launch of this restaurant and here I was today exploring it. There are quite a few South Asian restaurants in the Scarbrough area but this is one of the few on the Kingston Roads. Owned and managed by folks from Bangladesh, this place can beat be described as *authentic home style food at a reasonable price*. We tried the mains - Chicken Masala with Palao and the Goat Curry with Paratha and both were really nice. The appetizers fish fingers and spring rolls were good though quite oily. The service was great (expected of a new restaurant) and the ambience is cosy - it's a small place but I love the way the lighting and mirrors have been used to make the room appear large. Washrooms were clean and there was an area to keep your winter jackets. They didn't have any desserts yet as this was just day 2. Overall, a good place to try. Giving them a 5 star hoping that they can live up to the demand in the future. Just make sure that you ask them not to make the food so oily. Enjoy your meal! read more

Another gem of an authentic Bengali eatery in the Toronto culinary scene! Loving how Bengali cuisine is cropping up with a modernistic take on traditional cuisine bolstered with new age interpretation of ambience, decor and food presentation. You can add Masala King to the very short list of progressive Bengali restaurants in Toronto (Chawkbazar the only other restaurant in that list to be honest). Read about this new restaurant during the week and made it a point to visit during the first opportunity I got on the weekend when fellow foodie nephews came visiting from Markham. We ordered the Phucka as app but was promptly notified they were sold out (not surprising given how popular it can be). We settled for Papri Chaat as app and I will give that an ok - in the sense that it was nothing extraordinary (albeit you can tell the ingredients were fresh). I got the Chicken Roast Polao as entree and hands down it was the best tasting Polao Roast I had to date. That fried onion (Beresta) generously sprinkled on the savoury gravy adds a remarkable texture to every bite (or lokma if you are eating with your hands) :). The Borhani (fermented yogurt drink) complemented the Polao Roast royally. The drink itself was flavourful but not too spicy/hot that it would give you a heartburn while it went down. My nephews got the Duck Bhuna and the Tandoori Chicken. I have to say, they were both very well cooked meals. The tandoori chicken was well marinated and done perfectly to the point it was still very soft and juicy. The Duck Bhuna is what I will get next time I am there; I haven't had such well done and melt-in-your-mouth soft duck meat in a while. I nephew had the Duck with Luchi; I suggest anyone trying it for the first time does so with rice so that it balances out the thick bhuna/curry gravy the Duck comes in. Rounded it off with the quintessential Bengali milk black tea/chai which was a 5 out of 5 as well. All in all a very satisfying dinner experience and will definitely be back. read more
