Pretty good Indian food, although I suspect those with a seasoned palate will find it a bit…read moreunderwhelming in flavour. We ordered the crunchy paneer fingers, chana masala, desi patiala duck, roti, naan and a side of achar. Service could be better, although it was attentive. For example, my husband asked if he could have coconut naan, i.e. coconut ONLY. What he received was this weird filled naan that tasted like the candy spice mix used as an end-of-meal breath freshener in many Indian restaurants. Looking back at the menu, what he received was the Peshawari naan (most expensive naan on the menu, nice upsell) which had raisins in it too, and he is allergic. Not cool. Similarly, I asked for plain roti and got butter-soaked roti, totally unnecessary. The paneer fingers were good, tasty appy. We asked for the chana masala to be extra spicy, and received what I would consider medium spice. I can only imagine how plain the regular version tastes. The version we ordered was quite good albeit a bit oily as is typical for Punjabi style. Would order it again. Not so with the desi patiala duck, which despite large and tender chunks of duck had no real flavour or depth to speak of, less than a typical marinara sauce. Sadly disappointing! As for the achar, it was stale, the oil had gone bad. It was also weird, a minced version more like a relish than the chunky achar I expected. This place might be better for just chaat. If you're a true fan of Indian food, maybe try elsewhere? Or maybe it's just Oslo? Ah well, at least we got 20% off our bill by using the Oslo pass.

I forgot to tell them that I do not eat chicken, but it wasnt a problem exchanging it for one more of the lamb curry. I was a bit disasppointed over the flavours. It wasnt really spicy at all and the lamb curry was a bit bland for my liking. And I wish it that I got a feeling of fast food (the food only took 1 minute).. I did enjoy the price and the overall service, but no new favourite of mine. But if you want something cheap and quick that tastes ok, go for it.

Masala Politics was an extremely pleasant surprise after a series of dissapointing experiences with…read moreIndian food in this country. From jarred Patek's chutney at a restaurant, to getting a korma with spinach when ordering palak paneer in Bergen, to odd hodge-podges of North and South Indian cuisines, Masala Politics was the comprehensive Indian dining experience I've been searching for this entire year. I don't profess to have any sort of education or familial background in Indian food, but I've been fortunate enough to fall deeply into a bi-weekly routine of Indian dining until my move to Norway. Masala Politics was a different experience from the start. From a novel ordering system fit for large parties, to a refreshing amuse bouche on its opening day before the arrival of a papadum starter. The dining room was comfortable, professional, and facilitated conversation despite the open kitchen. My partner, who had spent a year eating vegetarian in India, opted for her first non-veg experience with Indian dining here, along with a supplement of chicken 65. We started with an amazing tender chicken tikka along with a grilled jhinga as a part of the chef's choice menu. Both dishes had no shortage in flavour, and manage to keep away from the trap of a monotone array of spices. The Chicken 65 we had our first day was fantastic, juicy, but at a lower level of spice in comparison to my experiences with Chennai, but we did opt for a spice level of 4 the first day, playing a little conservatively. Next came a beef nihari and a duck curry. While both were very enjoyable, the level of care put into making the simple essentials in the rice and naan we received were phenomenal as well. We loved Masala Politics so much, that we cancelled a reservation we had for the following evening to come back here instead. This time opting for an a la carte experience, with a level 5 in spice level selection, and leaning more towards a street food experience. On both days, we did run into minor issues with items being entered into the system, but issues were quickly corrected by the friendly and professional staff, and can be very easily attributed to the hectic schedule of an opening night. Masala Politics is a fantastic restaurant that we will frequent as much as we can. Halfway through our second meal in two days there, I was already recommending it to friends across the country who had been missing Indian food since coming here. A wonderful restaurant, a wonderful experience, and I hope it maintains this level of excellence for many years to come.

Would definitely recommend this place for a cheap quick bite with some friends if you're after some casual street food.

It was similar to Indian food but not spicy at all and less herbs which make you taste more on those fresh ingredients like banana flower, leek, long beans, and other greens I don't remember the name. The menu on that day I went was very simple as if you want vegan or meat choice. My plate came with few different kind of curries, roti, and some kind of chips. I also got some fresh chili on the side because I mentioned I like spicy food. A lady who served me explained every single ingredients on my plate and she gave me a Sri Lankan coffee to try at the end. It was a coffee that you can also taste ginger and coriander all together...very interesting! Everything was so different and new to me. I was really happy with food and service. This restaurant is the tiniest restaurant in Oslo. Even though they have about 5 small tables inside but I don't think you can comfortable fit more than 8 ppl. Reservation is highly recommended during the weekend. Nothing fancy here and it was truly a hole in the wall kinda place BUT it's a must if you are in Oslo. You won't regret it!

We did the second option- the Street Food option- which gives you one plate to sample a bunch of tasty portions that make up a very filling meal. If you choose the former, according to the owner, you get a full course meal (app, entree, dessert, etc.) over several hours and a thorough explanation of each food's significance and the culture behind it. You still get a brief explanation of each portion on the Street Food plate, which is helpful because you don't get to choose- they give you what they give you! Fresh coconut water was delicious. Served in the coconut. Roti was very flavorful, lamb was so tender, everything blended well together. We were both VERY full after one serving each of the Street Food option. Very hospitable host. Kind of divey setup, but common in Oslo. Tables at a quite narrow/small indoor alleyway. Really beautiful courtyard with additional seating. Heaters and attentive staff. Apartment dwellers come through the very narrow restaurant when leaving their rooms, which was strange at first. Good luck finding the bathroom, you'll know what I mean. All in all, a really unique and enjoyable experience!
