Okay, so despite the fact that this restaurant has been in Southgate quite some time I've never…read moreactually tried it, it's rare that I have friends come up to this part of the world, so it's even rarer that I will sit down in an Indian restaurant locally, so this review is about two take-always I had from here .The first of which I tried consisting of a Chicken Balti with the usual accompaniments of Peshwari Nan, Raita and Pilao Rice it was quite nice but slightly salty which annoyed me a bit as a Balti is one of my favourite dishes, but the second takeaway I got was a real treat. BTW I did let the restaurant know about the first disk, but thought I would give them a 2nd go and I'm glad I did. The Chicken Dansak was I would say almost perfect, succulent Chicken, just the right amount of sweet/sourness and tasty fresh ingredients. It redeemed itself after the first takeaway. Recommended!

The menu is extensive and the food is excellent. They cater for all your curry needs whether it's a mild korma or a 'blow the roof off your mouth off' phal. The prices are incredibly reasonable; in fact they have remained the same for the last five years. One of the many joys of eating here is the almost limitless supply of coffee at the end of the meal. You pay for the first cup and the rest is free. There's also a complementary glass of brandy and a plate full of chocolate mints. I would recommend it to anyone.

It's on the most visible end of Turnpike Lane opposite a Wetherspoons and near a few other good local eateries like Jashan (another Indian). But this Indian/Pakistani restaurant serves for me anyway better portions that it's sister restaurant. You can sit in but a lot of locals come, some from a bit more afar (even police officers have stopped off a few times when I popped in) to get a takeaway. There are a few things good, but the one thing it does best is the lamb curry. I get it every time. The 5 stars are for that and that alone. Other meat dishes bring it down to a 3/4. the veg dishes i usually get are Okra, or Potato/Spinach which are very nice. A good box of the lamb curry though and a naan bread (had better naan's in all honesty, but still good) to mop it up. You get a free little salad with it and some mint yogurt too. And it's cheap. Oh and like most who value authentic it maintains its spiciness. I hate when places cater for western tastebuds. If it's meant to be spicy, keep it spicy. This is hot but not burn your mouth stuff. Just enough to want more and tasty more importantly.

Delicious Sunday Buffet…read more The sign said £6.95 for vegetarian or £7.95 for a meat buffet with 14 dishes. We were walking past Broomfield Park looking for a place for lunch and were naturally drawn in. We were greeted by a member of staff, turned out to be the owner, and were sat at next to a fountain with goldfish after requesting better seats. The restaurant is a bit dated and has a shrine to cricket with a signed picture of Sanath Jayasuriya, former captain of the Sri Lankan cricket team at the bar. The ambience was peaceful and helped by the traditional Indian music with no vocals. It reminded me of the cinema adverts they had for local tandooris in the 1990s. We were eager to eat and quickly started in the 14 dishes which included a tandoori chicken, a korma chicken, a lamb vindaloo that was slightly spicy, a prawn curry that tasted fresh and was delicious, some Saag vegetarian dishes with cabbage, Spanish and potato, a curry made from sweet corn which was unusually good, a very tasty narn which was fresh and slightly sweet like peshwari, rice, onion baji and fried aubergine. We tried each and every dish and found them all to be very tasty. In general most are creamy and not oily at all and my mouth waters thinking about the food. Those who want very spicy food will be very disappointed as this is not spicy at all. I was a bit shocked to read a previous review that it had no flavour because every dish tasted good. The staff kept refilling the dishes regularly and were open and friendly. They were dressed down which was good as it just made you feel relaxed. It's odd that people don't write more about this place. It was half full when we went with people coming in to order takeaway as well. It deserves more to be said and I look forward to my next Sunday Indian lunch here.

But this indian restaurant amazed me..it has different menu compare to another...there is nothing like madras curry, korma curry, tandoori curry, massala curry, jafrezi curry and so on. This restaurant menu is different than other. Those words hardly see on the menu. We ordered a selection of curry with chicken, lamb and vegetables. It all taste good. Lamb chop is perfectly done. Total bills is rather cheap. Atmosphere is quiet..as we are the only table in the restaurant on Monday night. It is ashamed that the business are not busy.

They have done an impressive job on the remodel updating it with a bright and clean interior tastefully decorated and well equipped. Two large screen TV's play Bollywood music videos and sporting events. When you enter there is a small kebab shop and takeaway, and you enter through the second set of doors to the dining room. The food is amazing! A dazzling array of choices and some special items. We ordered Karahi Fish, Karahi Methi Gosht, Tarka Daal and a whole tandoori chicken. This was more than enough food for four and we were all very happy to try so many tasty items. First the fish was perfectly prepared and delicately spiced. It had a great texture and wasn't "swimming" in sauce. The lamb curry was ordered spicy and the chef actually came to ask us how spicy we actually wanted it, so we explained EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA hot.. he laughed and asked if we were sure and we said we were. He delivered! It was a spicy inferno without being overpowering. The daal was very nice but the highlight was the Tandoori chicken.. it was the most flavorful one we had tried in a long time and came out perfectly moist and juicy and oozing with flavour, and at 7 quid it was quite a deal as well. We also noted on the menu the chefs special.. a WHOLE LEG OF LAMB! We vowed a night of hedonism and drinking accompanied by a lamb feast. We followed through the following week and we were rewarded for our determination with a stunning piece of culinary magic. The leg of lamb was so tender and flavourful that we decided to make it a monthly ritual.. but be forewarned you have to order it 24 hours in advance.. so think ahead! The Lahore Masala House is a welcome addition to the Kentish Town landscape.. they have great lunch deals and they also stay up late for those leaving the locals or the Forum.

The restaurant is pretty big and spacious too!
