Cafe Massala in Central Bedfordshire

Dinner with Family 13th April. Table booked for 7.00. This was mine and my partner’s first visit to the restaurant, the other 2 in our group have been here many times, so came on their recommendation.. And we were not to be disappointed. Lovely surroundings. Fantastic food, great flavours and spices. Fantastic, warm and friendly staff, nothing was a problem for them. Fantastic value for money, best Indian restaurant around. Question is will we back? That’s a 100% definitely yes. Can’t wait for our next visit.

Fantastic food and service! High quality food cooked fresh. Piping hot. Very attentive staff. Excellent service all round. Would highly recommend

they had set meals for 4+ which sounded great however my family and i went for separate dishes. chicken tikka masala is often a very typical boring dish for me but having had it here i thought it was amazing, it was coconutty and perfect. the portion sizes were great. the onion bajis were huge and i couldn’t finish it. the waiters were jokey and hospitable. i cant sing their praises enough. thank you for a lovely experience!

A wonderful meal, with great service. Cafe Masala never fail to disappoint. Our regular, local favourite restaurant.

Best Indian restaurant!! We used to live in the area and would often have a meal or take away from Cafe Masala, but moved away and haven’t been back for years. We always compared any other Indian restaurant with Cafe Masala, and we were always left disappointed, no other matched. We went there for our anniversary last night, and it was as great as ever. It was lovely to be remembered by Tarik and his wonderful staff, the food was as wonderful as we remembered. Would recommend to everyone.

Cafe masala has the best food! The flavours are spot on and the service is incredible. Such kind and thoughtful waiting staff. Musan in particular was fantastic. Our go to spot for a treat.

As a visitor from Manchester, this was my first visit to the restaurant. Both the food and service was excellent. Best onion bhajis I’ve ever had! The party shared the mains and all did not disappoint. The garlic Nan was light and complimented the meal. One of the party was vegan and they were very accommodating to his needs. A truly great experience. Even if you are not local to this restaurant it’s definitely worth the journey to visit.

The staff are very friendly and the food was excellent. My Husband had the Gunpowder Curry and he said that it was the best curry he has ever had. The price of the food is also very good . You need to book early if you want to go on a Friday or Saturday night as they get booked up. We have been there a few times now and the food is always excellent. We only live in the village where it is so not to far to go for us for a lovely meal out.

Absolutely gorgeous, a warm welcome as soon as we arrived staff an food was AMAZING 🥰 thoroughly recommend. Big thank you to cafe masala.

Superb food, freshly cooked and delicious, staff were excellent, will definitely return. Thoroughly recommend

Our visit was excellent from the welcome to the moment we left this lovely restaurant. Food is excellent as are the staff. Keep up the good work

Just saw the review from Sharon D, giving this great Restaurant a poor rating. I been to cafe Marsala many times and have always had a tasty meal. I went last night, (17thAugust), with old friends who had never been there. They could not believe how many tables were occupied for a midweek sitting, one commented a place that full, in a rural location, people the food must be good. After our meal both could not thank me enough for taking them there, as they never had such a proper authentic Indian.

Returning customers but Something has gone very wrong! A Indian meal with no spices, so bland and I mean really bland. Very disappointing meal.

We really love this restaurant. Staff are very friendly and helpful, and the food is excellent. We like to try different dishes, and are never disappointed

This was the first time we had been to Cafe Masala in a couple of years and we really enjoyed our evening. The service was as great with a warm welcome and helpful advice on menu options. The staff were attentive with drinks, we weren’t left thirsty, even though the restaurant was busy with lots of small tables and a couple of big parties. The staff also made a lovely fuss of the birthdays. Our order was brought out without delay and each dish tasted beautiful. I honestly think this was the tastiest curry we have had in years. I can definitely recommend and we will be visiting again soon. Next time we won’t leave it so long.

As always excellent food snd service. Great quality food that has real flavour and good sized portions. The dansak is delicious. Just the right amount of heat. Lamb Bruma is also recommended.

We had a great time in a lovely atmosphere. Waiters friendly and helpful, including Jamal, our waiter for the evening. Great food.

Ate here mid week with a friend. We have been here many times and never been disappointed. This evening visit was a little disappointing. Service is friendly but the food lacked the usual taste and flair. In the sag paneer the paneer was hard and...

A very enjoyable meal. The staff were friendly, helpful and professional. The food was fresh, tasty and hot (temperature) and the menu was a typical Indian restaurant menu (that's not a criticism). The place is clean I am happy to recommend this local restaurant.

Great food and service. Very friendly staff and good value for money. Would definitely recommend this restaurant

Very disappointed having booked a table. No social distancing at all and waited 1 1/2 hours for our order to be taken. They queried our bill payment as we think they were waiting for a tip and we were only offered a complimentary drink as...

Four of us ate here last Wednesday, when they had an Eat Out to Help Out continuation offer. The food was excellent, great quality and plenty of it. Polite and efficient service too. So it’d be 5 stars, if it wasn’t for the fact that...

Visited with my partner recently. Very busy, probably due to Eat out, help out. Turned up at 6.30pm, but was told 9pm is all they could do. We really wanted curry and live near by so that was fine. Came back at 9pm. Very polite...

Normally have chicken dishes but thought give Lamb Madras a go. Excellent choice as my partner and I were pleasantly surprised how tender lamb was. Reasonably priced as were the drinks.

I read so many reviews on here for this restaurant and from locals too and I couldn’t wait to try it out, but I have to say I was sorely disappointed to the reality!! We went with our little one and it wasn’t busy in...

Always a good meal from here. Staff are fantastic and very pleasant. We have sat down in the restaurant on many occasions and service has always been very good. Again staff are very helpful. Expect to wait at weekends for your take away as they...

Visited with my partner mid week and had a beautiful early dinner. I was surprised by how busy it got so early so I would suggest to book in advance to avoid disappointment. Service was flawless throughout our meal as the waiter was very attentive...

My friend and I have been eating here regularly over the past 2 years. Each time we visit we are always very satisfied with the food, service and prices/value for money. We have found that the protions are always more than adequate and in fact...

after doing a bit of searching for a curry house that I have never been to before I came across Cafe Massala, although the website is a bit clunky it had a page highlighting 3 great meal deals which tipped the balance to make the...

We have been visiting Cafe Masala since day one. Their food was good, their standards high, but where is the heat gone. Hot spicy dishes have been altered according to our palate we are told because the 'majority' don't like their food too hot. So...

Eight of us enjoyed a pre-ordered authentic meal here last Sunday; no creamy sauces, just the most wonderfully flavoured chicken, lamb, fish and vegetables. A little rice and some rotis topped it off perfectly. All washed down with draft lager and then coffees. They’ve done...

I have been going to this restaurant since it first opened. From the start it set a high standard for its service and food. Whether you eat in or takeaway the quality has been maintained all these years. Well done Cafe Masala, long may it...

My partner and I will only order an Indian from Cafe Massala, as we believe it to be the best around. We would usually have a takeaway, but on the odd occasion we would go in. The waiters are great, atmosphere is lovely and the...

Well worth a visit and booking recommended. Great menu choices of starters and main courses. Onion bajhee lovers will enjoy these big boys as they are massive ,and as 2 is the normal for this starter , well just saying. I have been here a...

We always visit Cafe Masala when in England as it serves excellent Indian food. Four of us visited and all of our meals were excellent. Service was efficient and attentive.

Visited on Saturday evening luckily we booked, there wasn’t an empty table all night. They have a car park if you are driving. The restaurant is well set out. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, couldn’t do enough for us. They have Cobra on...

Tried our local curry house after a hard day painting . Service good curry good but paswari nann was not cooked all the way through shame !! They did offer to replace but we were to close to finishing our meal.lets hope they get this...

We travelled for 20 minutes looking forward to a lunch time meal with friends, and as the website says they’re open at 12-2 , and even on the phone they confirmed but on arrival they said they don’t serve lunch, very dissapointed

Very disappointed with this restaurant, everything was very greasy and cramped seating when the person got up from the next table her butt knocked over our beer, the service was slow and the food was poor, both me and my friend had the same dish...

This restaurant appears to be good more often than it's not. There are a large number of excellent reviews here and it came highly recommended by friends that live in Eaton Bray. We ordered a take away and, while waiting for our order, we spoke...

Having been out all day I thought I would treat myself to a takeaway. I ordered by phone and when I went into the restaurant I was totally ignored by the 3 waiters for quite a few minutes. They weren't busy but an acknowledgement of...

We were invited here for a surprise birthday party, 12 of us seating no problem staff really friendly got all the correct drinks then took all the orders. The choice was so much better than a standard restaurant. The food came and everyone was please...

We come in at least once a month, and we have never had a bad experience. Been coming for years and years, even our grandparents have been coming in since it first opened. Everyone we know rates this restaurant as the best Indian restaurant to...

This was our first experience of Cafe Masala after hearing good things from family and friends. I placed a telephone order and agreed to collect 40 minutes later on what I anticipated as a busy Easter weekend of orders. When I arrived I was greeted...

Had s lovely family meal today at Cafe Massala, good service only 3 tables in this lunchtime which is the quietest we’ve ever seen it in all the years we’ve been coming here. Great service & as always great food too.

Wonderful food, excellent service. Went for the first time on a recommendation and have eaten at Cafe Massala 4 times now and introduced other family members and friends.Recommending without any reservations.

Food is well cooked and presented but tables are too close together and you can't converse without being drowned out by the noise from others. Spoiled the whole evening for us,not pleasant to have someone get up from the adjoining table and try to squeeze...

Visited this restaurant for the first time last week to celebrate a friends birthday,not usually going for indian cuisine as thought it would be too hot and spicey,but of course there is so much choice,the food was delicious ,the staff so friendly and attentive,will definitely...

Great atmosphere and even better food. Lamb dishes are one of the best I've had. Even though it is a 40 mile round trip for us, we will be going back soon.

We've eaten here several times, but this was one of the best. An authentic meal which we'd pre-ordered, which has no creamy sauces but just fabulously flavoured fish, meats and vegetables. Cooked to perfection with rosti breads plus a little rice. Wonderful spices without overdoing...

We have moved into the village a year ago and have had a take away from this restaurant a few times. I have to say really enjoyed the food. Best chicken tikka masala I've had in a very long time and everyone else enjoyed theirs.

We went this evening and were the first people in the restaurant, the food was tasty but unfortunately my butterfly king prawn starter had been in the fryer too long and was burnt, my partners starter was fine and our main course was really lovely,...

We live in the area and the local word of mouth is alway here for a curry. We took some friends who hant been there before and they enjoyed it too. They alway produce good consitent food. Great staff, nice atmosphere although it may not...

If you are in the area and fancy a curry then look no further! I've been going here for over 15 years and have yet to have a bad meal. Incredibly consitent and fantastic food. Great staff, nice atmosphere although it can be a little...

Without doubt the best place to have Indian food fact! Friendly service, not rushed, and the food is beautiful!

The food is ok, with good quality ingredients, but nothing special. The service whilst very friendly was extremely slow. It took 40-45 minutes before our order was even taken (we were on our second round of drinks by that time). Once ordered, the food came...

My friends and I have visited this restaurant twice in the last month and each time it has terrific. The mixed starter plate for 2 people is really good. We had chicken dansak and lamb jalfrezi with rice and aubergine it was all just perfect....

The best!! Cannot be beaten. Staff polite and food second to none. After eating in many other places I haven't found an Indian restaurant that comes anywhere near.

Just had a takeaway from this restaurant and every item we ordered was super. Food was aromatic and not oily, and you could taste the spices. There was absolutely nothing left. Will definitely return again. We were also given a lovely little box of Belgian...

Excellent meal with superb service for 28 people. Everyone liked the food despite some making their first visit to an Indian Restaurant. The staff were very helpful

This is always a place we insist on visiting on our visits to UK. Once again, service was amazing and food delicious. All of our group, 4 adults and a 9 year old enjoyed our meals.

Super evening as always at Cafe Masala! Food & drink excellent, service excellent & ..... we won a hamper!! - thank you Taraque 👍😊

Have been here many times & have always had great food. The restaurant is clean & the staff are efficient- the restaurant also has a small private car park. It can get busy so definitely worth booking & there's always a good atmosphere.

Being local we use this curry house regularly although we have tried all the local alternatives. Cafe massala is consistently the best food and service. Keep up the good work!

Muy regular, pero popular restaurante y ocupados. El resto de mi grupo disfrutamos la comida, pero supongo que me fue mala suerte y no algo que tenía tan buena. Campo principal de arranque bien, pero decepcionante. Langostinos en salsa de conchas, pero dulces y no apabullantes que esperaba de la descripción en el menú. Personal amable y me ofreció algo más, pero la comida demasiado tarde como otros en mi grupo había terminado entonces.

Continually produces the goods attentive staff in clean fresh surrounding and very good food. Easy private parking If you enjoy an "indian" youll not go wrong with this one

He estado en este precioso lugar algunas veces. En términos de nuestra pequeña zona rural supera a todas partes sin duda. Los chicos en el restaurante es encantador y el director Tariq siempre hacen sentir muy especial y bienvenido. La comida es increíble y zumo de pollo cordero tierno. Recomiendo el pathia. Mmm.

Ocho de nosotros habíamos pedido una auténtica comida India de tres platos. Por desgracia, el mensaje no había conseguido a través de, y la comida era la clásica restaurante indio, lo que significaba que era bueno, pero no como habíamos pedido. El servicio y el ambiente era de calidad, pero hemos encontrado un par de veces que cuando el propietario no está allí, no es la misma que cuando es él. Así,. . . Genial, pero podría ser mejor!

Sólo quiero decir una comida horrible y restaurante sucio que he tenido visto. Ser un asiático sé exactamente qué comida asiática y éste no lo era. Le faltaba el sabor y gusto de entrantes. La descripción en el menú no coincide con lo que vino en la mesa. Los platos principales todos sabían dulces y el mismo. Yo y mi familia fueron incapaces de diferenciar entre los platos (vegetales, pollo y cordero) la salsa utilizada era la misma y entre los cuatro de nosotros nos las arreglamos para conseguir respirar cada uno. Los principales platos de nuevo no nos como se describe como en el menú (lo que debe decir es un montón de salsa, colorear, aceite y cuatro piezas/verduras) toda la comida en sí parecía que iba a explotar con la cantidad de tonos rojos.El personal no era atento y cuando le preguntamos por las recomendaciones, a lo que respondió mirar el menú. En general, una pérdida de dinero y para rematar me sentí enfermo después de comer.Recomendaría este lugar? Definitivamente no! Puedes comprar comida asiática del mejor supermercado y cálido que le gusto mucho mejor que este.

Best Indian restaurant for miles. Food always fresh. Beats all other restaurants in the area. Very busy at weekend so would book to ensure table

The food here is excellent! The meat is good quality other places use cheap meat and jar sauce!!! We love this place. 😆😆😆

2nd and last time we will visit cafe masala the service was average and so was the food waiting staff need to brush up on there English and attitude towards over paying customers take my advice and get a takeaway from lewsey spice in Dunstable beds yum..

Early and empty but slow service and sometimes ignored, average level dining for high unexpected price bill Only go if the boss is on site as he ensures good service and good atmosphere May try again next year

We have had many family takeaways from this superb Indian restaurant! Fantastic service, superb food good portions and side bits. We can totally recommend eating in or having takeaway meals here!

He visitado el Café Masala durante muchos años y tengo que decir que es el mejor restaurante indio en la zona.El personal es amable, la comida consistente y deliciosa, y es un gran valor. Comer en o para llevar, siempre es bueno, y Taraque siempre es muy acogedor.Hace dos grandes chapeau! Altamente recomendado.

Este tiene que ser uno de los mejores restaurantes indios en nuestra opinión. Cálida bienvenida, un entorno muy agradable y un buen menú variado. Difícil decidir qué comer, la elección es tan bueno. El servicio era excelente, la comida muy bien presentada, y no podía ser criticada, me encantó cada respirar!!. Remató con Café Calypso y irlandés, sirve a la perfección. Gracias Café Masala, volveremos.

La comida es excelente. Personas utilizar la palabra auténtica en un montón de comentarios, la comida de la cafetería masala es maravilloso, pero no hay restaurante indio es como comer en la India, en mi experiencia, así que no es auténtico, pero que atiende muy bien a nuestro paladar. Yo solía ir allí mucho más en los cinco primeros años de la apertura, pero encontrar el hombre principal muy familiarizado: aunque complaciente y sociable, un poco demasiado entrometido. Todo dicho y hecho, yo voy allí a comer y disfrutar de la compañía de mis amigos, no permitir mi comida para llevar frío porque no sabe cuando dejar de 'nosotros"

Excellent food the best around! The staff are friendly & restaurant very clean! My family go here all the time & we get take outs

Numerous takeaways and visits 10/10 every time Tried other Indian Restaurants but can't find anywhere as good, strongly recommend

Amazing food. Can't beat it. We always have a lot of banter with the staff there, and they will recommend good dishes. My personal favourite is the King Prawn Shuan.

Best Indian food for miles a very friendly atmosphere so good Ihad my 70th birthday there .Theyalso hold a special evening on New Year's Eve don't miss it

We arranged for them to serve us an authentic Indian dinner tonight, and it was just superb. Poppodom starters, then Chicken, lamb and fish without the usual creamy sauces, various rices and vegetables.... different but fabulous. Apparently they will do this for parties of four or more on any night except Friday's or Sarurdays. Including a couple of drinks each, it was £25 a head including the tip. Just excellent!

A great restaurant where the food is always superb and the prices reasonable. There are one or two other good Indian restaurants within a few miles but the Masala is easily the best. What more can I say?

we went Monday earley with friends what a great friendly place can not fault it one of the very best Indians I have been in and we have eaten in quite a few lots of different dishes on the menu to try and not expensive a little gem

Ok, so that is an outrageous claim, but even my aunt and uncle from Chippenham come all the way to Eaton Bray for their favourite curry.Sadly we are no longer local but we still do a 16 mile round trip from Wing to get a takeaway.We've eaten here on many occasions and yes, it can be slow on a busy night, but the staff are so friendly and the food so good that we've never had cause to complain.The onion bhaji's and aloo gobi are my favourite sides. Every main I've had has been amazing. The husband always has the chefs selection platter for two as a main course! Cannot recommend highly enough

This is one of the best curries I have had!!! The madras was lovely and fresh!! My partner had a korma and he said it was the best he's had!!The staff were very friendly and even offer a complimentary box of chocolates when you take out ! I'm glad this is just down the road from me ! Great food on my doorstep !

I have visited this restaurant a few times over the last couple of years. Eaton Bray is close to where I live but we have an excellent Indian restaurant in our own village so I usually eat there. I have to say I have never been disappointed at Café Masala, though the food is slightly different to my 'local'. I enjoy Dhansak dishes and I find Café Masala's a little sweet for my liking but not at all unpleasant. I would recommend their Onion Bhajis though. It's worth ordering them just for the novelty factor and to watch people's faces, who haven't had them before, when they arrive at the table. One portion consists of two bhajis the size of large grapefruits ! They are superb but they would feed a family of 4 ! The service is always good, the waiters attentive and the menu is varied and comprehensive. All in all, a very god Indian restaurant.

This restaurant was without a doubt the best Indian restaurant in the area. Due to its village location we only attended 2-3 times a year. It was consistently very good and I always had the lamb madras with my wife predominantly having the chicken dhansak. The madras had tender lean lamb as usual however it was dark red in colour and although tasty had too much chilli powder in the sauce. Sadly the dhansak was pure sugar and inedible. We had a chicken rice which has also always been very good, was also too greasy. I haven't seen Tariq's friendly face at the restaurant for a long time. The staff member that we did speak to didn't seem too concerned. We will definitely be giving this place another go, I just hope this was a glitch.

It was a Monday lunchtime and my friend and I fancied nothing more than a fine Indian meal. When we heard that Eaton Bray hosted this award-winning institution there really was no question - we had to go there. Unfortunately the bland experience was just a touch below average.We were greeted by a bland man (waiter at a push) in a yellow Nike T shirt with his iPod earphones hanging out. He appeared disgruntled by our sudden arrival at his empty, silent restaurant. We were seated in a nonchalant manner and had were passed the menus with little comment. The waiter, still disinterested, skulked off to text on his phone while leaning against the vacant bar. We then requested some music and were acknowledged with a nod, before a waft of traditional, bland Asian music came on faintly over the restaurant's tinny sound systemWe realised that our bland meal was off to a disastrous start when it came to ordering our drinks; we were told that draught beer was not an option at lunchtime, and much to our dismay that poppadoms were also off the menu at lunchtime as it was 'not worth cooking them' with so few people in the restaurant.The Chef's Special Platter was satisfactory, ranging from the nondescript, bland, curried cubed chicken breast to the more palatable naan-wrapped lamb koftas. All in all, a pleasing starter despite the absence of the samosas (the only thing our waiter could remember when recounting the contents of the platter).On to the mains...Presentation was nice. Separate bowls for the rice and just the right amount of food. I enjoyed my Jalfrezi, which had the perfect amount of heat from the green chillies. My compatriot however was presented with a shockingly bland lamb rogan josh. While the lamb was tender it was very much lacking in seasoning and fragrance, and was overpowered by tomato. Mushroom and pilau rices were adequate. The garlic and coriander naan really was the meal's saving grace (hallelujah) and made for some tasty DIY curry sandwiches!In fairness to Mr. Nike, our table was visited fairly frequently throughout the meal, and we were asked how we found it. But considering the emptiness of the restaurant, this was to be expected. Obviously, being English, we nodded and gave the chef our compliments, while underneath we were seething at the bland array of food that lay in front of us.The dining experience was interrupted frequently by the local handymen, who made regular trips to and from the kitchen with various industrial tools throughout our meal. Understandably we were visiting at an off-peak time but this was still annoying, as the music soon came to a halt and we were left to resume our meal in what would have been silence, had it not been for the relentless buzzing of houseflies around our table.I must say, the Jalfrezi and naan were pleasant, alongside a fairly good effort from the Chef's Sharing Platter, so a 6/10 is fair for these items. Unfortunately, these were let down by the other items, namely the rogan josh as well as the less-than-charismatic waiter. Lovely guy but seriously lacking in customer service/English Language/memory/hospitality skills and professionalism.Builds: - Work on the spice and flavouring of the curry dishes, as there is definitely something to work from here - all it will take is a little attention to take these dishes from average to spectacular. - Service. Stop looking at your phone :) - Serve poppadoms and draught beers all day long

Good service good food nice decor definitely will return again.slightly more expensive than your average Indian but we'll worth it.

A fantastic night at a fully packed restaurant. The set menu for the evening was varied and tasted wonderful. Never rushed, courses were delivered and explained by very experienced and friendly staff. The format of the evening was well laid out with it ending with champagne and all patrons joining in the festive moment. Staff were constantly in attendance being atentative to everyone requirements - a great way to end 2014 and start 2015 - many thanks to you all. Jackson

our local Indian is fantastic and although there are other local ones around they never compare. Food and staff are second to none.

Came yesterday evening & had a 1st class experience. waiters very attentive & food exceptional. What a difference from our last meal out last Wednesday at Black Rabbit Arundel, staff there need to visit Masala for customer training !!! Thank you very much will certainly return.

I took my wife for a celebration meal. The staff were extremely helpful, the whole meal was excellent. Atmosphere very enjoyable. Excellent evening.

Booked for a meal at our favourite restaurant in the World!! Again the food was delicious, staff polite and cordial and ambience excellent. Really busy but still had our meal served quickly but freshly prepared. The tastes are out of this world and every mouthful is enjoyed to the max. Just love this place and can't wait to go again. A little more pricey, but hey, well worth it!!

We always visit Cafe Masala on our trips to the UK. Food is delicious with a great variety of dishes to choose from. Staff are friendly and attentive. Definately an upscale Indian restaurant with moderate prices.

This is one of the best Indians I have ever had. I shall be recommending this restaurant to all my friends. excellent food and good value. I will be back !!

Food was excellent, service was good. I tend to go there on very special occasions only as it is on the expensive side.

I called before going to explain I cant have dairy and was told this was fine and someone would come and help me with the menu. When I got there I spoke to 3 different people who just wanted me to order and didnt really understand the menu. My whole party was waiting on me and eventually someone came and told me to just pick something and he would tell me if its ok. He then didnt te me if it was ok just gave me some line about milder dishes are more likely to have dairy in. They took my plate and no one elses when we had starters and it took 10 mins to get it back, poured someone else's alcoholic drink in my glass when I wasnt drinking, with no apology. Then I got sarcastic comments about did I want 'diet water' when I asked for water in some kind of reference to me being difficult.I had not intended to be difficult I am breastfeeding and my baby is allergic to dairy and will be ill if I have it. But thanks for judging me and ruining a rare evening out, cafe masala! I wont be returning.
