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

Naan bread, Chicken tikka main. Rolled up into a beautiful wrap. The way forward

We stopped at this restaurant for lunch. Amazing Indian and Srilankan food!! I cannot sing their praises enough and I am a massive foodie! We had masala dosa (heavenly!) omelette (Indian style) and biriani (gorgeous!) all reasonably priced. This came to £20 and was ample for two people. I was eager to promote this place and I was really sad to see one previous review which might be killing their business. I don’t think they are savvy enough to respond to bad reviews. The customer service was also excellent, south Asians are known for their hospitality. Please support this business if you can 🙏 oh and they have parking too 👏

I ordered some food and the service wasn’t good then when I phoned up they didn't help at all so I won’t be ordering from there again
