Masala Cottage in Havering

Been here a few times now. Lovely food always good size portions and great night out with friends. You won’t be disappointed.

Went on a Monday and found we were the only customers. The chef and waiter greeted us with big smiles which was a good start. Told him we had a Wowcher, No problem. Got our drinks and the waiter gave us five mins to order our starters. When we got that out of the way he gave us another five to sod around choosing mains. Got to say that some of the items on the menu I,d never heard of before(will get back to that later).The starters came up a little on the small side but were quite nice. The mains(one Passanda, one Korai and one Tikka Mossala were reasonable sized but all three were very different from what I had ever had before!!! They just weren,t what we were used to. They were very nice, and I think reading between the lines and the strange items on the menu led me to conclude that Chef might not be your average East End/Essex Indian restaurant chef. Possible he is from some obscure part of the Asian Subcontinent. Plus points...... good flavoured mains, nice rice and sides. Friendly geezers. Minus points.....small starters, Peshwari nans came up plain. No draft beers(despite at least two pumps at the bar). That's why it,s only three stars. Just remembered none of the phone numbers work so had to take a chance they were open

Do not order from this place. The delivery driver has now stolen things from my porch twice, and was caught on my ring doorbell. Also items of food have been forgotten a few times and not replaced.

Great food, great service. I highly recommend you dine in the restaurant or order food while you wait for inside the place. Really good dining experience, food was fresh as it could be. I always end of each month. You won’t be disappointed. Avoid delivery if you can, go and eat fresh

Just enjoyed a delicious takeaway from buzzgrill the food was piping hot and really tasty we have lived in the area for twenty years tried a few Indian takeaways and this one has really impressed us . Generous portions of chicken in our chicken curries , perfectly cooked accompaniments and all reasonably priced with speedy delivery so glad we tried it will definitely order from here again .
