Masala in New Forest

Excellent quality food. I definitely will use Masala again and highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic Indian takeaway. Masala has definitely got it nailed to a tea. 100% excellence in taste and they use top quality ingredients.

Excellent Food, generous portions, excellent service, Highly recommended

Worst curry we have ever had, Greasy cold and bland.

excellent friendly and super fast delivery. great tasting food as usual five stars

We had take out Chicken Pasanda, Chicken Korma and sides.Everything was delicious! Highly recommend

This is one outstanding curry house. Try it!

Only order from here (best available to ringwood) I usually get the garlic chili dish with lamb, good every time, also have had the chicken korma and madras, highly recommended.

Great food and great service. The delivery driver was friendly too. Thank you ☺️!

Fantastic food delivered to our campsite. Didn't have any expectations really but it was so tasty, fresh, hot and good value for money. But disappointed we don't live closer as we would definitely be back..

Great Indian takeaway. Amazing food, always great customer service. I travel 30 minutes there and 30 minutes back because the food is so good! Next improvement would be to deliver to Downton :)

Excellent food from this Indian takeaway. Home cooked flavour. Friendly service. Highly recommend.

Very prompt professional service throughout - very tasty food and good value for money

The best Indian in Hampshire, amazing food and staff

Best takeaway in Ringwood tasty food and nice staff

Was lovely curry, distance of delivery food still very hot, very happy, will be ordering again

Absolutely perfect … thank you

The quality of the food was outstanding. Each ingredient of my Jalfrezi tasted as though it had been cooked individually in its own spices. Highly recommended.

Amazing curry, simply the best and looking forward to the next one .. thank you

Some very tasty curries. Will definitely order again

All so delicious… My absolute favourite is the Sheek Kebab starter so I order three and extra Pilao Rice so I can have some the next day. I wish I could just get a small pot of Vindaloo or Madras curry sauce to pour on top though, that would be perfect.

Exquisite food. delivered by knowing gentlemen. I wish I had the time to extend my glad heart to all that know these roving heroes. But alas, I do not. Only know this: When it comes to making a holy chicken tikka masala... These guys are second to none in the local vicinity. Perfect nan, with awesome sauce, delivered by kind, knowing men. Just the sort of thing we need... To survive. EDIT: (With awesome photo!). GOT to love these gentlemen. I know, I know... The world is a fractured and bitter place for many, and religion is hugely to blame. Everywhere. But THESE guys are very special to me. Very sacred. I bought some poppodoms from them recently, as that was all I could afford, but I bought about eight of them, with mango chutney sauce, and sat in the Wood Throne in town feeling champion of the universe. These lads, are SWEETIES. And like the Keskins boys too, I highly recommend their love, sweetness, hard efforts, and lovely jubbly food. Ringwood is a cohesive multicultural bubble of beauty... Ruptured only on occasion by the behaviour of an imbecile out of his mind on drink and drugs. These lads... Are way beyond such folly of behaviour, and serve the community BEAUTIFUL food, in faith, good service, and diligent professionalism. That is why, there is no war. Love, is all we need. And it's what we have.

Absolutely lovely chicken curry …. Thank you

Used for the first time today, asked for recommendations and very impressed with everything. Looking forward to trying again.

Highly recommend, delivered to Sandy Balls

Food was delivered on time on 04/06/24 it was hot and fresh. All was tasty except for the tarka dhall :( it was swimming in oil and wasn’t edible.

Delicious! Will definitely order again. Absolutely LOVED the Dhansak, soooo flavoursome 😊

The best there is by far … just perfect

Sag paneer was like cheese sauce with spinach. Truly awful

Wonderful service as always, helped us out by meeting us at the campsite again. Even better the food was loveky, great place

Sheek kebab is so juicy and melts in your mouth and served with onions etc , keema rice perfect and the keema nan wow. I can’t have a curry without these … perfect thank you

Far exceeded expectations, will definitely be ordering again.

They just keep getting better, I ordered something new and so glad I did because it was awesome.

I ordered it to Sandy Balls Holiday Park and it arrived on time and was one of the best I've ever had. Plus the portions were very generous. Excellent service, I'll definitely be using them again in the future.

Awesome Madras, chicken was perfect …

Awesome as usual .. best there is and delivery excellent thank you

Lovely meal from masala last night hot and very tasty and quick delivery

no complaints, good food, fast delivery.

Very good food, always come here.

An absolutely stunning meal. We ordered takeaway and they delivered to our campsite… amazing service! And the delivery driver was really friendly. I must say this was the tastiest curry I have ever eaten!!

Was late delivering but I suppose it’s Saturday and busy, so not complaining and I’m happy. I can’t get enough of this food because the quality is awesome, looking forward to more. Thank you …

Very nice as usual … thank you

Once again perfect curry and perfect delivery ….. thank you

Best curry indian food of bournemount. I came all the way from london .just for having a touch on it. Highly recommended for those who love masala food. . Pure tradional taste. #dinner #masala i tried chicken tikka and prawn puree. Which r fabulous .#takeout special

I have food delivered for Masala regularly and is always perfect!!!! By far best place to order in Ringwood and surrounding areas.

Outstanding food, very impressed

Great place good curry very good service

Very delicious curry, food was packed very well and hot when delivered. The delivery was very fast as well. Highly recommend! Promise you would not be disappointed!

food lovely but had to re heat as slightly cold delivery was longer than expected!!

The food is amazing and portions are just right . However delivery is always late

Tasty food. Not too bothered about late delivery 🤘

Wrong order received, not too bad but OK. Delivery guys wax great, polite and early, Food was hot and fresh, but as it was wrong it had no bite and too sweet,

Great food and quick delivery, food was still boiling hot on arrival. Will definitely be ordering again 👍🏻

Brilliant service, chatty delivery driver and amazing food. Can’t fault them

Excellent food delivered promptly

Always been satisfied with the food. Had food delivered on Saturday night.....food arrived cold, tandoori chicken was overcooked and over salted, other dishes were swimming in oil and almost inedible due to the amount of salt. Thoroughly unpleasant meal and was very disappointed as we've always recommended them.

The best Indian we have ever had

Revisiting the Ringwood area after 5 years of moving away we decided we should go and order a Indian take away from our favourite restaurant, Masala. The boys still recognised us after 5 years of absence and I must say it was a fantastic meal. We live now in Devon out side Newton Abbot. NO one makes curries like MASALA.

Not good. I went in to order some food, took a look at the menu all fine, but the door to the kitchen was open which again is all fine, but I saw one of the men in the kitchen preparing what looked to be like chicken drop two pieces onto the ground who then picked it up and put it back with the other chicken to be served. I instantly walked out as that's truly disgusting.

Amazing curry again, every dish full of flavour and quick delivery. Our favourite takeaway in Ringwood 👍👍

Another delicious take away from our go to Indian take away in Ringwood. Had the butter prawn last week, was sublime. Ordered again this week. The Tarka dhal also a firm fav. Love ordering from these guys. Always delicious and so friendly on the phone. Have never had a bad dish, turns up quickly and loved every dish even when we try something merging different. Highly recommend -10/10 always.

Chicken Korma, Chicken tikka masala… Chicken in both dishes was dry, hard and the sauce gritty and pasty. Both dishes had that look and taste of old yesterdays food re-heated in a microwave. The Sheek Kebab had that look of a doggy dropping that has been left on the pavement in the sun for half a day by a bad inconsiderate dog owner and the smell I won’t mention. Maybe that is the reason for such a fast delivery time (re-heated old food). Very disappointed at the inconsistency of the cooking that I have received since using this restaurant and this will be the last time waste of £40.

DO NOT use this Indian ! Ordered and paid for food which never turned up ! Offered to deliver the next day with no offer of compensation, absolutely shocking customer service !

DO NOT USE !! Ordered a takeaway for delivery and two hours later at midnight they decide to tell me they didn’t receive my order and it was now not going to be delivered as they are closed ! Shocking customer service !

Been coming to this place for many years.Over the last 3x take aways I've had it been awful.I know the boss very well lovely fella but the food is now very very poor.I will never return.

Absolutely delicious food! Ordered a delivery to the campsite we’re staying in…it came quickly, no hassle and we were blown away by how good all the dishes were! As good as our local in Guildford we’ve been going to for 25 years!

when you order a take away and some of it doesn't get delivered your whole meal is a write off.... if when i payed i didn't give them all the money i think they might not serve me again ..... so i will order my take aways from a different curry house nexxt time....

I visited Masala in April 2023. I was staying nearby in Frodingbridge for a couple of nights and fancied some Indian food. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I ordered a Paneer Vindaloo, Onion Rice and Vegetable Samosas. All were very nice - the Vindaloo being quite hot (as I like it). My only issue was that it lacked the flavour I was expecting. There was just something missing. Having said that though, it wasn't unpleasant and I did enjoy it. The onion rice was nice and the samosas were tasty too. It was mor expensive than I was expecting - far more than what I was used to, and I live in Outer-London. I think for the price, some complimentary poppadoms and dips would have been nice. Still, a nice meal that hit the spot after a long day of driving!

Great take away. The garlic chicken is amazing

Had a delivery last night for 11 people. Spot on couldn't fault a single thing. Delivery excellent food was amazing.

A repeat visit, but a wheel has come off this delivery. Order in at 6pm, chased at 7pm, called again at 8pm, took over 2 hours to arrive. Order included the house “King Prawn Railway Special”, just 2 prawns included! All three meals delivered rated average at best. Not good, no apology, not going back, not recommended.

Fantastic food - best curry house in ringwood

We ordered while staying in the area as a large group. I checked Tripadvisor for reviews on the Indian takeaways listed on Ubereats and this place rated the best. It did not disappoint! We had a large order, it arrived slightly late but when it did arrive all the food was piping hot and delicious. Our poppadoms didn’t appear to be shop bought as mentioned in a previous review. Everyone throughly enjoyed their meals. There was no mistakes or missing items which was brilliant as this often happens at our local takeaways on smaller orders! Highly recommend!

My all time favourite Indian takeaway! Always absolutely beautiful, every dish cooked to perfection. We have it when we have guests, and everyone always enjoys everything they order too. We get ours delivered to Fordingbridge and its always lovely and hot when it arrives. Very highly recommend!

Great food..... great delivery service..... would definitely recommend

Had a nice lamb Dhum Pukht thoroughly enjoyed it as always.

Last night was my 3rd time ordering from Masala and I'm always happy with their food. Tried the Paneer Ceylon and it was by far, my favourite meal tried. I would definitely recommend them to a friend

Prompt delivery first time. we used them even though we are in Harbridge. Could find no fault with the food. Will definitely use them again

Still the best value take away and delivery Curry in Ringwood. It is a shame that the no longer have their restaurant space. Very tasty dishes.

We ordered a delivery, delivered within stated time. Mains and rice were fairly good, chicken slightly chewy. Popadoms the biggest disappointment, we were given supermarket packet popadoms, very disappointed by this, the worst I have ever been given by any India restaurant and was charged £.0.95 each for them. Maybe we should have ordered from Indian Cottage.

Amazing place to order takeaway. Very efficient service, delicious food, can’t find anything wrong. Would recommend this place.

Called up with questions last night, had answers very quickly and more info very polite service. Ordered and delivered within half an hour to a difficult location, very nice delivery driver too and the food was the best Indian I’ve had in a couple years. Nailed my chicken pasanda (my local Portsmouth takeaways never quite do) reasonable price, banging dinner and excellent service. Highly recommend and also £1 delivery to my location whilst on holiday was very good too. Love it all!

After a not so great first order back a while, we decided to give it another try. Took well over an hour and was cold when it did finally arrive. The Ceylon was REALLY salty, ruining the whole thing. The mossala Poppadoms arrived in bits and the veg curry was very oily, which was disappointing, and was not very flavourful. The only plus was the nanny bread, which was lovely. I have contacted Masalla about this but no reply and so the 10% incentive for us to return has certainly not worked.

Something terrible happened tonight, my favorite Indian takeaway made "only edible food", normally the curry's are rich in flavor and thick but tonight I was delivered 2 curry's both bland in flavor that seemed to be watered down and drenched in oil, I had to use kitchen roll to soak it up before I could attempt to eat it. Not only that the minimum order for delivery has gone up making me having to order more food than I wanted, I wouldn't of complained about ordering more if the quality was as it use to be but it was truly underwhelming. Writing this review has made me sad.

Whilst in the last 3/4 years that we have had meals delivered I must say that the food, delivery and experience has always been of the highest order and deserves ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have given a lower score due to the fact that when my wife placed our order she was not appraised that a £2.50 delivery charge was being imposed for deliveries outside of Ringwood. The menu flyer still states "Free delivery on all orders". I rang Masala to query the difference in costing for the order and was then informed of the now imposing delivery charge. I was also informed that a new menu is being produced which will show increased food costs as well as a delivery charges.

First visit so first impression....the food was very good and we will most definitely return. Generous portions and very tasty. Love the fact that they have a 5 out of 5 hygiene rating. The young man who took our order was friendly and efficient, he took time to tell us about the changes that they are making to the business. All in all an extremely good experience and I am sure I will be giving a 5 star rating before long.

In all the years I have been coming here for delivery they have never failed, delicious food alongside top class service. Deliveries are always correct and on-time despite living outside of Ringwood. Long may it continue!

Superb….best takeaway curry in years!!!!! Thank you!

Extremely disappointing. The food arrived in good time however half of it was barely warm the other half cold. The madras was given its heat via pepper rather using spices to give that lovely taste, mossala was not creamy and more bitter and sauce was solid. Cooked by someone with no passion or care for their craft. Not the normal standard that we have come to expect.

Waited over an hour. No show so cancelled the order. Won't use again or recommend.

This is an exceptional Indian takeaway. My partner and I enjoy an Indian at least once a week and will fit one in wherever we travel. This was our second Indian this week and if it were not the 200 mile journey it would definitely be our new local! We'll definitely be back when we're next down this way.

I love the food. Sadly paying full price for gradually less and less amounts of it. We ordered a masala sauce tonight and there was definitely less in the container than usual.

Great experience using the online ordering, fast, excellent delivery from Ringwood to Verwood, and importantly great food! Highly recomend!

Amazing local food, great website and delivery service

We had a takeaway delivered to our holiday site, direct to our door. Everything was excellent, good quality and we would order from here again.

Ordered a Lamb Biriani and Chicken curry this evening. It was the best takeaway for ages, plenty of meat in both and delicious. Plus not full of lumps of onion like some. We will be back.

Really kind staff and efficient with the order. The best Indian I’ve had and it’s the reason I continue to go, really good options for vegetarians as well, the paneer tikka is my favourite. Also good portions and great value for money, highly recommend.

Really good food but just a little on the expensive side

food was ready quickly, and the staff were very friendly. But curries were quite bland ...and very greasy.

The food from Masala ringwood was fantastic, the food has arrived promptly on time and warm. Totally recommend to anyone! definitely ordering again
