Masala Indian Cuisine in Lancaster

Visited as 4 adults on Sunday evening. Started with Papadums and pickles and then mains with rice and naan breads. All the food was super tasty and served on hot plates. My south Indian Garlic Chilli Chicken was Madras heat with an immense garlic taste with complex spices, absolutely delicious. Note: this is a Bring Your Own so no alcoholic drink charges. Prices are reasonable and the service polite and professional.

Delicious Indian food, was staying at ocean edge and decided to venture out for a meal and decided here. The restaurant is small and clean and the food was great they do not serve alcohol but you can bring your own price was reasonable too.

We ordered takeaway from here so can’t comment too much on the overall atmosphere, they did get our order wrong and it was only when we got home we realised (silly us not checking before we left the restaurant but luckily only live around the corner) however they were apologetic when we went back and they corrected the mistake promptly. Food however was fabulous, really good flavours and generous helpings of meat, reasonably priced too. Would recommend.

In the area on holiday. Went past here several times and looked it up. Lovely meals. Nice big starters and great mains. Staff very friendly. Bring your own alcohol. Street parking.

Fantastic food nothing a problem for them. Bring your own wine,beer

Apalling telephone service. Used their delivery service many times since moving to area as food was good. Returning from a week in France on 11th Feb, checked online banking to find they had taken £44.70 on the 10th Feb. Called the restaurant to explain and was treated terribly and told not to tell lies. He hung up. I called back and asked for the manager but couldn't get a word in edgeways. He said he was the manager and was told to stop wasting his time. He hung up again. Will never use them again. This is not the end of it.

Such a shame. This place was brilliant. Not anymore.

Had heard this was good, and as a nearer restaurant was fully booked, we ventured a litte further and went to Masala. We did not regret our decision! Excellent food, friendly and helpful staff, and a great atmosphere (and a Co-op next door if you need to buy alcohol). We'll be back!

I would give 0 if I could food was cold when arrived no steam coming off it complete cold what a waste of money Looked liked it was from 2 days ago Stale nan, cold chips, (stale), tikka chicken cold rock hard. Never again. All when in the bin. Malasa sort it out.

Real good curry was a takeaway didn't eat in

One of my favourite places to eat, great food, great staff

Complete garbage. Please done order from this place. Save your money and cook at home

Very expensive and food was not good. Newer again.

Food and service excellent we ordered to collect and it was all very enjoyable thank you

lovely food . friendly staff . but best of all you can take your own booze so not paying bar prices . brilliant

Lovely place really lovely food one of the best chicken dansak Currys I have had lovely friendly place clean and good value for money will definitely visit again

Have to say went with a friend tonight for a meal just had starters and in conversation with my mate nothing to do with anyone else the manger comes over with a attitude ear wigging our conversation and getting the wrong end of the stick thinking it was about his waiter which was nothing to do with him which spoilt my night have to say the food was lovely but need to get your facts right before having a attitude with you customers.

It was the worst place that I have ever been and the staff that are in the kitchen area were always arguing all the time I was there and the food was the worst food I ever had in fact when I got home it made me sick and ended up with food poisoning,so when I phoned them up to tell them what had happened they got really abusive with me and slammed the phone down on me I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy that's how bad my experience was

We ordered a takeaway. The food was amazing. We asked for a mild curry and it was just that. Would order from here again. Would recommend to anybody.

Great that it byob Service a bit slow Had to get own knifes and forks Took away my little boy side plate and said if you need it you can get it back had to get it back 2 minutes later. Curry average at best.

The quantity of food was good and nice people in the restaurant. We did a take away however being an Indian we did not like the taste of the food. We ordered Chicken Bhuna Masaala , Garlic naan, chicken biriyani and prawn masaala . We did not like the food. All of them taste the same . I am unsure if they intentionally do a notch low in terms of spices but it was far from authentic taste. Will never try again.

This is a review based on our experience delivering for this establishment. Everything was fine for the first week we got paid £7 ph and £1 for every delivery nothing for extra mileage or distance run. He started stressing my husband unnecessarily which isnt good. So when my husband confronted him about changing to £2 a delivery he said he couldnt do it. So we have gone somewhere else now. And dont get me started on the way he treats his staff it is unbelievable and in front of diners not very professional and his phone manners could do with working on as well.

Over priced food and delivery for an ok indian

Absolutely delicious meal, nice relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff.

Lovely food and attentive waiter

Always top quality food. Definitely the best in the area.

Shocking this place !!! Gets a one star review from me the one star being for the quick delivery, why was it quick ? Because no one else orders from here !!! Food taste less Food very expensive!!! Will not go back there Will not recommend 😫

Came here on holiday. First of all they got my order wrong brought out something I didn’t order and when I said it was the wrong thing the person there argued with me saying I was wrong, he then said he would get what I ordered within a minute he brought out the correct order, I had 2 spoon fulls of it and then 10 mins afterwards I started feeling really unwell feeling like I was going to throw up. We paid and left and then when I returned to the caravan I threw up about twice. I work in a residential care home and was supporting a person who has Down syndrome on there holiday and the next day he was violently sick too. I’ve never felt as I’ll as I did that night!

Beautiful curry well recommend ordered on line just eat for a 5.45pm delivery to ocean View caravan park asked them to deliver to reception area left phone number and they contacted as requested 5 minutes before arrival delivered hot well packaged cannot fault there service Well done john

Food is great, decor needs a revamp and the air con in this heat should have been on. Great service friendly staff i will be back again.

Had two takeaways this week whilst on holiday in Heysham. It's the best Vindaloo I've tasted in ages. Staff were very friendly and efficient.

Hubby & I tipped up unexpectedly but they managed to fit us in. Very pleasant service. Very accomodating. I chose an option I've not had before and I really enjoyed it. Food very good & served piping hot. Would definitely return.

Well the food was fantastic, there's always a vibe with Indian cuisines. The place is very clean and it's fresh food. Sadly didn't take photos because I enjoyed the moment and left way too late😊. So you can sit and relax after your meals

place ver.y nice I like the. happy mele...😍👍

Food Good.Service Good .Me like

Good food nice service reasonably priced but you have to take your own drink which is not a problem

The worst service I have ever had. It took 15 minutes just to ask if I wanted poppadoms they are more interested in the take away business rather than looking after customers who are dinning in. Definitely won't be going back.

Order placed at 1810 with an estimated delivery of 1855. I called at 1930 to enquire where my order was only to be told I would "have to wait as we are busy". At 2030 I called again and when the phone was answered somebody in the background shouted "do not answer the phone", the phone was hung up. I went to the restaurant and there were lots of orders waiting on a trolley and not being kept warm. Absolutely disgraceful way to run a food outlet, if you get overwhelmed stop taking orders, it really should have been that simple. Needless to say I will never order from here again.

Absolute shambolic service don't advertise a half hour wait when it's over an hour,useless c****.

Just had a delivery from Masala. Had the tandoori platter & tandoori Juliet. Fab! Fresh & delicious. 2nd meal we've had from there & will definitely order again.

AWFUL. It's not an Indian takeaway. It's a glorified food slop house. Ask for Prawns? you're served with white fish. Ask for chicken? you're served with chicken nuggets. When you pay good money you expect quality...Horrendous experience, the staff were unfriendly, can't even do that right. NEVER again.... cost me £30 for a ridiculous meal, these guys don't care. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH? LOOK HERE. You'll have more fun than I did.

Truly awful food. My husband's chicken korma was cold. My scampi and chips was served in a plastic box and so was horribly soggy. The "scampi" was dark brown soggy globules of goo which resembled no scampi anyone has ever seen. Spotlessly clean restaurant. Friendly staff. Shame about th food

Looks like new owners. No atmosphere, no taste, no alcohol and no customers. Been a while since I last went to masala. All changed (apart for the decore). Will not be going back. Use to be rammed on a Friday night, empty when we walked in, food was bland and tasteless, service was rubbish, sorry for the bad review. But it was so so much better.

What a welcome to the area. This was our first Indian since moving to Heysham, it was in a nutshell Delightful.

One of the best curries myself and my wife have had for years.Wish we could get a curry of this quality from where we live in Bradford. Only thing I would say slightly negative is my chips were missing off my order, but other than that amazing experience thank you.

Mediocre at best. 40 mins late after an estimated 60 - 80 mins wait for delivery. The starter was delicious but the main meals lacked flavour due to key ingredients used very economically. Korma was tasty but runny. Peshiwari naan was plain naan with only a little coconut. Edible but disappointing. Dishes lack the quality ingredients that turn them from economical to exceptional, this would have been acceptable but the prices reflect the impression that quality ingredients are used by skilled chefs. Wont be using again!!

Ordered 2 starters (prawn butterfly) at £4 .75 each and you literally get one prawn, not worth the money. And the vindaloo isn't hot. Chips were floppy and cold,won't be ordering again. Disappointing Overpriced food.

Stunning food and good service 👌

Ordered via the app, money taken off us. Got a text to say order cancelled too busy. Refund will take 3-5 working days. Rang them to ask if this was a legit text, told yes too busy not providing our food, asked about refund being given so far after as they cannot provide a service we shouldn't have to wait they put the phone down. Appalling service will never use again.

Cancelled our online order as they are busy. I have already paid and now have to wait up to 5 days to get my money back. Called them to discuss and they said there is nothing they can do then hung up on me. I shall not be using them again which is a pity as the food is good.

Love there food the used to also own curry leaf and was always in there

A good 🥘 at a reasonable price! I can highly recommend The Biryani

Ordered a takeaway for collection. The Morecambe Eats app advises you of your collection time. Arrived on time only to stand there for 25 minutes waiting for it to be ready. Not sure why they don't just give you a more accurate collection time to save you all standing together inside. Unfortunately food wasn't anything special compared to other local Indian takeaways we've tried. Don't think we'd use them again.

Best lamb patia I've had in a long time. Great portion size. Would recommend.

IN THE CURRENT CRISIS WE ARE IN YOU HAVE DECIDED TO CHARGE £3.00 DELIVERY, EVEN THOUGH I AM 2 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD, DISGUSTED...😡

Thoroughly unimpressed! First time ordering from this place and we will not be back. Firstly we didn’t receive all of our order, the starter was missing even though it was clearly ticked on the receipt. Everything was pretty tasteless and VERY greasy! Small portions for the high prices. Had I been sat in the restaurant it would have been sent back. I rarely write reviews as I believe food is a very personal choice, and this is someone’s business. But I hope this will make them raise their game and offer better quality and value for the high prices.

Absolutely spot on, all you can eat £10 was worldy, choice of so many different currys , poppadoms fresh as a daisy, starters now that's another story one world .... lush , would defo recommend

Tasty vegetarian curries available at reasonable prices

friendly people and nice clean restaurant area but food, although hot as I asked, was quite bland, chicken pieces were tiny, the potato chunks in the curry sauce were bigger! disappointed for the price expected some flavour. might try a different dish but am not in a hurry to spend £16 on tasteless food again.

Messed order up 3 times, resulting in the family all eating at different times!!!

We have eaten here many times in the restaurant and as a take away. The food is delicious, especially the chicken saag with onion rice! The service is good and the staff very welcoming and friendly. Flight of stairs to toilet area. Clean, warm restaurant worth a visit.

We went on a Sunday it was advertised as a buffet style 10 dishes we were there at 5.15 served till 7, well there was 2 types of rice, very dry onion barges and tikka wings, 6 other containers with 1 vegetables curry, 1 potato curry, 1 tikka curry 2 empty and 1 just curry juice!!all very pland A tray with lettuce tomatoes cucumber lemon slices and 3 very very watered down sauces very disappointing. OK it was only 9.99 one drink 5.oo 🍺😡 looking back we should have got up and left but we honestly though they would have filled containers back up they didn't so we had the dregs, definitely won't be going back

Forgot half the order and charge a fortune !

Ordered takeaway after it being recommended by a friend, but found the food tasteless and no spice

Delicious food , nice atmosphere, and clean place . Very recommended.

Great food and service would recommend.

Outstanding choice of dishes, cooked to perfection and the best lamb vindaloo I have ever tasted.

Always receive a friendly welcome and a lovely meal every time

Very nice food and staff, last minute booking for a Saturday, quick service aswell, very impressed

Best food around 5 hour of 5 eat in or take away

Service today with my group of 20 guest was not near average.

Best food i have tasted been back on many occasion

Nice indian. Local to Heysham that deliver

Ordered and paid on online on Saturday at around 6pm. Went to collect at the time specified and we were kept waiting for around 30 minutes. They apologised and said the kitchen was busy. Eventually received our order only to walk all the way home and discover it was missing 3 quids worth of nan bread, so nothing to soak the curry up with. Curry was so-so but at eleven pounds a head there are much cheaper and nicer takeaways out there.

Fantastic service, very friendly and accommodating staff and the place has had a facelift since we last visited. Very nice indeed!

Great restaurant, friendly staff and great food! The lady there treats you like family that she likes.

Ordered a takeaway , chips looked brown and over cooked and reheated , they put us in two complementary poppadum s must have been because we spent £20 plus, they were stale and soft , dissapointed with the food, and thought is was expensive for what we ordered.

Service great food not so great sorry to say cold starter and curry lumpy not so good

Lovely place, good prices, eat in or take away.

Nice food nice family stuff will definitely go again

Great tasting food been coming here for years since i was i little kid. Never been a problem, keep up the good food

2nd time I have been now, and food and service was excellent.

waited one hour and 40 minutes for delivery and when it arrived it was cold....won't be ordering again

an absolutely delicious Dansek king prawn take away. great service and great food

I visited here twice to pick up a takeaway while on business. The customer service from the staff is really good. They’re very welcoming and, unlike a lot of takeaways that are part of a restaurant, the wait for food is reasonably short. The restaurant itself looked nice and, had a been with my fiancée, I’d probably have ate in!

Ordered takeaway via just eat. Staying in a caravan up the road, so picked it up in 20 minutes. Service was excellent. Food was hot and very tasty. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Fantastic food , great value for money . Friendly staff nothing is to trouble .

Overpriced and we always end up with something missing from the order. Food is very nice though if you’re luck enough to get yours!

Absolutely fantastic tasty food! Well worth a visit. It really isn’t your average Indian food.

Horrible food. I actually felt insulted at the one sauce will do for practically every meal on the menu. My friend orders a vegetarian madras and it was out of a cheap bag of frozen veg with broccoli in it!?. Over priced and an absolute insult to Indian cuisine. Avoid unless you've lost your sense of taste.

Consistently very good food, with friendly staff who will go the extra mile to make your visit a good one. Highly recommend the chicken tikka masala. Vegetarian dishes are also excellent.

Always a warm welcome and more often than not, excellent food. Take away is equally as nice and never let us down in waiting times etc. Recently refurbished too so it now has a more inviting and slightly classier feel

Bland, average food, unbelievablely bad service - probably works for the usual clientele but for the rest of the world - avoid.

Superb food, and staff brilliant

When you just need a honest to goodness curry and a cool beer, this place hits the spot

Amazing food, excellent service 10/10

Good food. Good location, very welcoming staff. Just had a makeover. A Christmas eve curry has become our tradition.

£22.90 for two people to eat as much as you want plus 2 pints of coke. Relaxing environment no rushing and staff leave you to enjoy your food. Great place over all.

Masala! What has happened! Ordered 2 meals, popadoms, pickles tonight as our usual "home from abroad" treat, Masala also being our indian of choice as you can generally rely on it being at least half decent if a bit greasy. However, tonight, it was absolutely awful, basically soup with a few bits of chicken in, no veg at all. Completely unappetizing and majority of it uneaten.left filling up on popadoms and one of the dips had to be discarded as was just liquid. Really disappointed. Complete waste of 26 quid.😳😡

Love our curry and tried this yesterday. Delivered to us on ocean edge caravan park. Great service, speedy delivery and really really tasty food. Deffo give them a go if you unsure
