Massala in Southampton

Used this restaurant for the first time recently asked for lamb madras with potatoes added .all excellent thankyou

Recientemente visité Massala con mis amigos y tuve una experiencia fantástica. La comida era deliciosa, con sabores ricos en cada plato, especialmente la parrilla mixta y el Karahi. El servicio fue excelente, atento y amable. El personal era increíblemente servicial si sus recomendaciones eran perfectas.

Always come here for my meal, don't always eat in but food is always wonderful. Always get a warm welcome from the lovely staff

Amazing food cooked to the highest standard, everything from the pakorah to the special massala special curry was out of this world. Drinks choice very good and a nice complementary drink as we finished our meal. Delivery service from here is also very efficient, and delivery staff are always well presented and polite. The Wednesday Night Banquet is amazing and always busy with extremely good value, Best restaurant in the area

Normally I wouldn't go for Indian food but... The food was amazing and the service was great.

Visited here on 06/10 and the service was incredible. The food was delicious, the waiter was incredibly polite and attentive and we had a gorgeous meal! We are all looking forward to coming back :) thanks again.

The salad was extremely small and was in a plastic bag, very disappointing. There was something which i assumed was.a chicken bone in the balti.

ordered for collection as we were at a pub around the corner, went around 20 minutes later and was advised that the order hadn't been started yet. so needless to say less than ideal. when we did get the food it was tasty and hot.

Terrible service the place is disgusting 1.5 hours to get food only 2 tables 😒 in there will never go back

The curry was very greasy and runny , the chicken wasn’t nice . We used to get lovely chicken pathia from here but it went downhill so we went elsewhere, I think we will give it a miss in future . The poppadoms weren’t fresh and tasted of grease.

Great tasting food from friendly staff as always.

Fantastic restaurant, really consistently excellent food and friendly staff, I have used Massala for 10 years and would recommend

Great atmosphere and the food was great , we enjoyed the chicken starter tandoori and the Naga chicken was cooked to perfection and the spicy biryani was one of the best I have had. The breads were very nice and the staff are very nice and polite and go the extra mile for their dining experience

very tasty recommend lamb pathea lamb bhuna ..

really good thoroughly enjoyed. full of flavour. very tasty 😋

Masala en Woolston ha sido uno de nuestros favoritos de la familia durante más de 25 años, y nunca deja de impresionar. La comida siempre es deliciosa, con una fantástica gama de platos sabrosos que atienden a todos los gustos. Ya sea que estés de humor para algo suave o picante, Massala entrega siempre. Lo que realmente distingue a este lugar es el ambiente cálido y acogedor. El personal y los propietarios son increíblemente amables y van más allá para garantizar que cada visita sea agradable. Tratan a todos como a la familia, lo que añade un toque especial a la experiencia gastronómica. Si estás en la zona de Southampton o Woolston y buscas una experiencia gastronómica excepcional, te recomiendo Massala. ¡Es una verdadera joya, y volveremos por muchos años más!

the food was good but 30 minutes late and I had to chase for an update. the driver was apologetic but I would prefer that someone lets me know as it's considerably late.

great taste very clean not fatty or oily

Had takeout on many occasions and it's been great. Finally went to the restaurant and wasn't disappointed. Food was lovely and the guys there are all really helpful. We will be going again for sure.

Always a great experience and great food. Staff are very friendly and very helpful. Always look forward to coming here. Would highly recommend.

Love this place, food is absolutely fantastic

lovely food polite and friendly delivery service..

Thoroughly enjoyed by all. The flavours were spot on. The jalfrezi is one of the best jalfrezi’s we have ever had. The whole meal was excellent

Good restaurant. Great experience. 'sasa' chacha making delicious naan . Cheap and tasty. Strongly recommend to visit.

Food was 30 minutes late. Marked as delivered and then arrived 30 minutes later. Called the restaurant they said it would be 5-10 minutes, food then arrived a further 15 minutes later and was warm at best. Really disappointed.

Always love the food from the guys at massala. My favourite is the lamb bhuna, nice tender lamb. Food arrived nice and hot too.

all the food was really good! the chicken tikka massala was probably the best I have ever had! flavours were incredible

Always the best . Almost family now as they have served me for over 17 years without 1 complaint. X

Llevamos muchos años viniendo aquí, allí chef ha cambiado en ocasiones a veces no para mejor, pero ahora todo excelente, el personal siempre ha sido genial, ahora de vuelta a lo mejor que ha sido durante un tiempo, bien vale la pena una visita o un regreso.

My son loves the curry from here and today I tried it for myself. Wow! Absolutely delicious! Fresh, full of flavour and the staff are very friendly too. Will come again xx

La buena comida y los chicos massala son buenos acerca de lo que están haciendo. . . El mejor curry que he probado es #Basa_madras y #King_prawns_Balti. . . Eso fue encantador y golpeando 😍

Gran restaurante, comida fantástica, personal amable, buen ambiente, he sido un habitual durante 10 años y no dude en recomendar.

I can describe this eating experience in one word….. Beautiful! This is our first take away from Masala and what a relief! Everything was cooked to perfection and nice and hot when it arrived. My wife had lost confidence with Indian take away food as she had suffered bland, tasteless medium curries with no spicy heat but she was over the moon with her King Prawn Jalfrezi. First time and extremely impressed, will be our go to Indian from now on if they can reproduce this.

The best food and service 👍 seems like they are doing the place up, so a little shabby, but the food was amazing. Thanks 5*

Delicious food and great communication from the staff!

This was the first time we have eaten at Massala and we can highly recommend it. We went for their Wednesday Banquet Night. The service was brilliant, the food was lovely and there was plenty of it. This is a friendly place with tasty food and reasonable prices. Give it a try, you will like it.

tasty food and polite delivery service.

Great food and very tasty. Thoroughly enjoyed 😋

I was a bit disappointed. I heard good things about this place and tried a dish and it tasted like a cheese and onion curry. It was awful. The chicken itself was very succulent and tasty but the sauce did not taste like what I ordered and the onion bhajis were not the best.

really really nice. thoroughly enjoyed

Always great service and great food.

Lovely food and service is exceptional.

food quite Luke warm. Bombay potatoes were hard. chicken tikka masala was bit bland naan bread was nice. overall ok meal but doubt I would order again. expected more taste.

Aways top quality and great service.Best curry in Southampton and great value

I ordered 2 onion bharji starters but received 1 onion bharji & 1 pakora/samosa which we didn't eat. The jalfrezi & balti were only luke warm so had to microwave them to heat them up.

lovely food polite and friendly delivery service...

Food was undercooked (chicken) so bad and dangerous. All went in the bin. Gone downhill a lot.

I’ve never been disappointed with the food quality, I collect, as you can see the place gets really busy and the owners work so hard to get the orders out, in a timely manner. It’s busy because it’s good. I recommend the Naga chicken. That's not for wimps. 😉

We love Massala - always a family treat and favourite! Been coming here for nearly 20 years and never been disappointed, every meal has been terrific!

lovely food polite and friendly delivery service.

Super quick delivery and food amazing as always. The bombay aloo is my favourite!

Only Indian takeaway I have ever known too tight to include complimentary poppadoms. Also Naan breads are a lot smaller than other Indian takeaways in the area

Great food friendly and polite delivery service ...

Fabulous flavours, really well cooked chicken. Tried here as usual restaurant was closed. This will be our new regular.

amazing. really nice. so tasty and really enjoyed 😋

Great food as always polite and friendly delivery service...

amazing. thoroughly enjoyed by all. so good 😊

Lovely curry as always, food was hot and fresh. Service is great too.

Delicious food friendly staff would definitely recommend

We use this place a lot. As we work in a pub/restaurant and was serving close to 300 people on Xmas day ourselves, we decided to order a feast on Xmas Eve to keep for our Christmas Day dinner once we finished work! When I placed the order I suggested they deliver whenever suited them xmas eve as the other guests had to come first as we wasn’t having it that day. It was a fab xmas day dinner thank you Massala!!

Great food as always friendly delivery service..

So disappointed I used to love Masala when I lived in Southampton and ordered whilst home visiting. The delivery time was moved back without explanation and the food arrived warm at best and without the flavour I’d been craving. What a waste of

Always freshly cooked and yummy.

Dansak was very spicy and masala was cold

Fab great curry every one enjoyed

Went with some old work colleagues, and we really enjoyed ourselves

Never disappoints! Hot food, on time and everything here that was ordered. Very tasty! Highly recommend

Brilliant food and great delivery service.

Didn’t deliver, wouldn’t answer the phone. Had to go and pick up myself. Food was warm.

Food was late so contacted restaurant just eat and was told would be another 30 mins. Food arrived after 40 mins and flavour was poor and seemed rushed. Shame as such a great take away usually.

We order almost every week and love massala but tonight unfortunately it took 2 hours to arrive and was cold which was a real shame

amazing food. absolutely thoroughly enjoyed. the taste flavours and heat were all spot on 😋

Food was cold when it eventually arrived

Decent. Nicely cooked and fresh

Great food friendly delivery service.

Excellent environment, friendly service, great menu choices and really decent food and at affordable prices. Garlic chilli chicken, tamarind chicken, chicken karai & tandoori mixed grill was fabulous and so delicious .

Very average and not at all authentic cuisine. Obviously catering for the British. The chutneys with the papadoms were insipid and then we had to wait over an hour before our main course arrived, not very warm and served with cold plates. Everything looked the same and apart from the different meat did taste much different either. Watch out for the beer - a pint of Cobra is £5.20 but a couple of our party had halves which cost a ridiculous £4.20 each! I can't even begin to understand that. The staff were friendly enough but paid little attention to detail. All in all a drab experience.

Mushroom Bhaji ordered but given mushroom rice but they were busy so no grumbles really but already had pileau rice so defo didn’t need the mushroom rice. The vindaloo and jalfrezi was spot on. So overall thoroughly enjoyed but did miss the mushroom bhaji

Very good place enjoy it Everytime

Great curry as always friendly delivery service..

Unfortunately not a great experience. Had a takeaway. Forgot item, prawns came as 1 big battered mass. Food not hot. Restaurant not busy so unsure of why this happened Not the greatest food I have had. Just my experience on the night not a reflection on what others may experience.

Spot on curry friendly delivery service.

was ok and I know very busy but defo different chef. beyond sweet tasting tonight. and no heat. No chillis in the jalfrezi and the vindaloo was like a mild curry. Certainly not the best had from you

Lovey curry's just a shame they were cold not normally a problem but microwave packed up so couldn't heat them up.

Nice but could be a bit quicker

Spot on as usual friendly delivery service

Paid for tikka massala never received it

Loved the food!! As always great taste and amazing service. I recommend the chicken korai- it is my fav!

There is just MASALA in the name of restaurant but none of the dishes has MASALA in it. Not at all spicy as mentioned. Moreover every dish has sweetness with similar taste. Didn’t even justify the name😐😐😐

No website to veiw menu just facebook page and just eat to veiw their part menu. Apparently you have to visit to veiw full menu! These busnesses that do this dont understand how many customers they lose, good luck for the future. You will need it!!

Love Masala, it's a family favourite. Great food, great service and relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely hot food. Tasty and fresh

I had set menu C, the food was delicious however they forgot the poppadom and weren't very responsive on updating just eat, for example I got the notification my food was on the way about 15 minutes after I'd finished it. But overall very nice food.

Ordered chicken tikka korma with pilau rice and garlic naan, all of it was unfortunately bland and small portions (I always share between me and my partner and this time was very dry and not filling at all)- Such a shame as I’ve ordered from here before and the food was so tasty but tonight I was really disappointed. Hopefully better next time

Really nice food , will definitely use again .

best jalfrezi you’ll ever have and vindaloo on point 😍👌 very very nice. Plates cleared. Thank you 😋

just amazing thoroughly enjoyed by all never disappoints thank you 😍😋

When it arrived we had to reheat it. The chips were dried out and the onion Bhaji’s were also dried out. The curry dishes, madras and garlic chilli chicken, were so hot that they were inedible the only part of the meal we could eat was the biryani and the rice for that was all stuck together. Will never use them again or recommend.

Very tasty and easy to order through app-ready to collect on time.

Delighted with Massala. The food is absolutely delicious, the staff are all friendly, professional, very accommodating, and those guys know what they talk about when it comes to Indian food. I've asked for recommendations a few times and I've always loved the suggestions. I would highly recommend giving them a try.
