Had our first order delivered tonight. Chicken Tikka Masala & butter chicken curry. Both very bland and a sweet taste to them! Not spicey at all. Very disappointed with taste. It’s not a curry we would recommend. Just no taste other than sweetness🥴

A fantastic menu of delights, we were excited. The food looked great on appearance, though tasted a little bland. The Pathia and the Bhuna tasted almost identical except for the crunch of the onion in the Bhuna. My Persian biryani looked amazing. With the omelette top and vegetable side, the rice looked golden and appetising. However, on tasting, I was disappointed to learn that the rice was over fried and again was bland. We expected more authenticity and more flavours. When compared to Asda's Bom Bahia range of Asian cuisine, I feel this restaurant could do more. A supermarket should not be manufacturing a better quality curry, and yet they have (try before responding). Obviously, it is a popular restaurant, and the elders are great. The younger staff need more guidance and confidence on the floor. There are many curry restaurants in the area, and I'm sure they all have loyal customers, which is amazing. I'd say to the owners, see what else is out there, try other restaurants, and bring back the authenticity of a magical restaurant. A good 3 for quality of food, though 5 for amazing service by the elder staff. The average price per main was £12.00. They serve alcohol though also except you bringing your own. Free and plentiful parking.

Called with a quiery on the food, person on phone was highly defensive and argumentative. Said they would call back within 5 mins, 10 mins later no call. We spoke with the manager when they finally called back who just wanted to argue, and come to no solution. After 20 mins, no solution and cold food. Looked very promising but will not return. Food wise: the lamb which was £10.95 came with 6-7 small pieces and some onion, more like a starter than a main. Chicken tikka starter was on a bone but nowhere on the website does it state it is on a bone.

Don’t bother. Ordered for collection. Checked food at home. Tikka main ordered for £10+ was small portion Chicken tandori was on the bone? Called to query this. Manager called back very argumentative and wouldn’t listen. Told me I was a regular customer, never been here before 😅 Definitely avoid poor service all round from management if there are any issues at all. A shame as has some good reviews so was exacting good food, but no just poor service 🫤

Waiting over an hour for our starters, which was just about warm, barely hot. Then waited another 1.5 hours for our main, which we had to complain about the wait time, then all of a sudden we got our food. Then the owner refused to take card payment because he didn’t have a card machine, I pointed out to him there was one behind him. He then continued to say it doesn’t work and wanted cash only. 1.) if you want to come here, you need to complain about your wait time to even get your food. 2.) the owner is very rude and is a liar 3.) they also don’t like paying their fair share of tax

We had a very large takeaway order delivered for a house party. I ordered a dish called a Prawn Sizzler. This over-priced dish turned out to be five rubbery and over-cooked prawns drowned in a sloppy sauce – not the sizzling King Prawns I was expecting. It was the most expensive item on the menu and was listed in the “Sizzling Fusion” section, so the clue “Sizzling” was in the name – but it was basically a standard prawn curry. Costing just under £15 and containing just 5 prawns, this was very expensive and extremely disappointing. The Chicken Tikka main should have been a dry dish, but it turned out to be a few small pieces of chicken swimming in a sloppy sauce. It felt as if they were trying to bulk out the food with lots of sauce to try and justify the high prices. They did replace the prawn and chicken dishes (mainly because we had such a large order), but the replacement prawn dish was the same as the first, 5 rubbery prawns bulked out with lots of cheap sauce. I wouldn’t order from here again.

We ordered a takeaway on Friday night, collected it on time and paid. We got it home and dished up. Upon sitting down to eat, we found that the food was tasteless. We called them immediately to tell them; it’s not fair to criticise if you don’t say anything. We were told that they had sold 100 of the same dish that evening, and that there couldn’t be a problem with it. Whilst food can be subjective, this meal was simply tasteless. He was aggressive and defensive from the first instance, all we were doing was letting them know our meal wasn’t good. We asked for replacement meals, and the person on the phone indicated that we brought the uneaten meals back for them when collecting our replacements. A little extreme, but fair enough. Upon arriving back at the ‘restaurant’ we were told to sit down, an invitation we refused. The manager inspected our meals, similar to the way an afterbirth is inspected during labour. His voice was raised, and his whole manner was aggressive. We did respond with a raised voice, purely to be heard. We asked if our meals would be long, he said not long. We asked if they had started to be cooked, which he initially said no to. When we asked for a refund instead he changed his story and said that they were nearly ready. He then came back with the meals and insisted that he’d done us a good turn by replacing our naan, poppadoms & chips even though we’d eaten most of them. Admittedly, a fair few chips had gone, but everything else was there. We’d only eaten enough to identify that the meal was bad, and who doesn’t eat the chips whilst dishing up! We offered to pay for the items he was claiming he had replaced despite being consumed, he refused. Had we been eating on-site, we’d have sent it back with the same amount gone. For completeness, the replacement meals were absolutely fine, although we had somewhat lost our appetites having left our house again to get them. There is simply no reason to accept poor quality just because it’s a takeaway, and to be honest, £33.90 is a lot of money to literally throw in the bin, we tried to resolve the situation and were met with aggression from the first moment we called back. The whole experience was frankly aggressive and confrontational, and management need to take a long, hard look at their customer service model. A business where staff are rude can’t and won’t survive.

We held a 60th birthday party here, and to be honest was disappointed with the service, waited way too long for drinks, also we were rushed to finish our meals and leave the table as they had a booking afterwards, we also requested they done the drinks bill separately which they failed to do which resulted in a lot of confusion afterwards and some people being out of pocket, I think they struggled throughout the evening with a large booking

What a disgrace. Doesn't seem like I am the only one to complain about over charging either Chicken was dry and tasteless as well. Wouldn't have even minded paying it if it was a nice curry

Went out for a family meal last night and though the food was good, the real issue came with the incorrect menu pricing and dishonest billing service. We were splitting the bill and to make matters easier I had written the dishes and prices down that I was paying for. But when we received the bill, the menu prices were not marrying up to the bill prices - e.g. £2.95 chips were instead £4.45. We asked the waiter about this, and he explained that the menus were 2 years old and showed the incorrect prices. Instead we should have looked online - but we already had and they were cheaper than both menu and bill prices. So then the waiter said there were signs up around the restaurant about the prices being different. We asked him to show us these signs - which he could not because there weren't any. We asked why didn't you just tell us about the price differences when you handed us the menus, for the sake of full disclosure. But according to the waiter, it is our fault for not knowing - his locals know about these prices, so we should too. I understand prices will increase over time, but you can't advertise one price and charge a different price on the day. People deserve an honest service and the transparency to decide what they want to order given the menu put in front of them. We found it very dishonest and the excuses we were given felt like they had slipped this past many customers before and therefore have justification for it. The waiter essentially can charge whatever he fancies on the day, with no real reference to any fixed prices. My advice for any new diners at the Massalla Club is that if you wish to eat here, just make sure to check your bill thoroughly, or ask about prices before you dine, ideally, for every single item.

We visited this restaurant with some friends. My chicken tikka was raw when cut through, when the manager came over he said “was it just the one piece” as if that was ok! There was no apology at all. Throughout the meal the service was very poor the waiting staff did not come and ask if we would like some drinks, we constantly had to try and get their attention. At the end of the meal one waiter placed the desert menu on the table, then another waiter came and took it away within a couple of seconds like a tag team! He did not ask if we wanted anything just took the menu and walked off! When the bill arrived we had been charged for items that we did not have and the staff had to amend the bill. All in all the overall experience was very poor and I would not recommend.

So expensive !! Bham city centre prices - £90 for the 3 of us. Wine has residue in it and made me feel sick. They charged an extra £2 on the starter because I asked for chillis in it - there was 1 tiny raw chilli cut up in the whole Starter and wasn’t even spicy. I asked for some fried mushrooms - they literally just fried mushrooms - no salt no coriander just plain mushrooms. Tiny portion = £6. Mushroom veg side dish is only £4.85. So they made up the price. We only went in there because the other places we usually go to were fully booked. It was empty in there - just 1 other table on a Friday nights after 7pm. Table cloths were dirty. Some of the food was delicious, other parts were average / tasteless All in all a total waste of £90 and I’ll never return

I've used the Massalla club quite a lot in the past- I live nearby and the food has always been excellent. However, wasn't happy with it last night (Saturdy)...our table was about 12 inches away from a table of 4, no hand sanitiser on entry (did see some on the counter as we left) and although the staff did wear masks, they were often pulled down. There was nothing in place to encourage distancing in the gents. Guess we expect different standards now. Oh..and the waiter had all the charm of Basil Fawlty.

This is the second birthday, in recent years, that I have chosen to celebrate at the Massalla. I should have learned from the first.As it was a special occasion, we all ordered starters. At the same time, we ordered our mains. The starters arrived in reasonably good time, and were very good. Oddly though, we were asked if we wanted mint yoghurt sauce - something that you would expect as a matter of course with a starter.The starters were cleared away, and we had another round of drinks. Bearing in mind that the restaurant was almost empty when we arrived, I expected the mains to come soon after, but we waited and waited. We saw at least 2 other groups of diners (who weren't even in the restaurant when we ordered our meals) get served their meals, and finish them.When I managed to attract the attention of a waiter to enquire on the whereabouts of our meal (nearly an hour since we had had our starter), he told us that the reason other people had been served before us was that we had ordered starters, and they hadn't. I had an issue with that explanation- so if we had only ordered mains, we would have been served in 20 minutes, like the later diners were? I don't see the logic. By that token, we should have expected our mains 20 minutes after our starters.My wife pointed out that they were obviously prioritising internet orders, because she could hear a constant 'pinging', such as you hear in Witherspoons. Just eat has a lot to answer for. People sitting on their arses at home are getting a better service than those actually making the effort to go out to eat at the restaurant. Shouldn't it be the other way around?I probably won't go back here for another birthday.

Visited tonight booked for 6pm. Restaurant was busy but not full. Ordered our drinks and poppadoms. Which were stale. We then waited 1hr 10minutes for the main, no waiter asking if we would like another drink. No mention of the ridiculously long wait for food. As people who ordered after us were served around us.We decided wait was too long so said we were leaving and wanted to pay the bill. Manager then tried to charge us full price For the soft drink and stale poppadoms,even though it is eat out to help out atm. When we queried the price it magically dropped £3. Avoid This place manager was quite rude with arguing about how busy they are blah blah. Won’t be back

Had great food at the Massalla Club. A really good variety of fish and seafood dishes...I especially enjoyed the monkfish tikka. Great table service and all the staff were very friendly. I especially encourage people to come and support local businesses such as this at the moment.

Got charged a higher price for a meal than what the menu stated, we had requested to pay a certain amount on card and after checking bank account more was taken than what we asked. Expensive and it was a mediocre curry, won't be going back.

Over 3 hours to eat and the bill was a work of fiction. Understaffed and failing ungracefully.We came for an early Saturday dinner and had the place to ourselves, but by the time we left it was packed with people waiting and looking lost. Especially the waiter. Food varied from OK to good, with combination dishes standing out as an unusual highlight (very good). The menu is vast (shown in full on their website) which may be making the team work harder than necessary. Mains were nice but not as novel or as varied as the menu suggests. Some meat was a little tough or gristly but not too bad. Rice portions much smaller than is typical in Indian restaurants - personally I found this OK because that's all I want, but others in my party were disappointed. Breads were good. Allergy sufferers, coeliacs and vegetarians and vegans should stay away. A big scary poster in the entrance declares that all 14 common allergens could come and get you at any time, and to ask the staff if you want to know more. Management should visit their competitors and learn how to work this part of the market with a proper allergen list.For the first 3 hours (!) we saw only one waiter. He started calm, professional and charming, but ended in near meltdown arguing and accusing customers of lying. I feel really sorry for him but it was way over the line, just not reasonable behaviour. His colleague came on shift just as we were leaving. There were a lot of mistakes with drinks, and desserts came out with more than an hour between the first and last arriving. They were nice, but half the party had long finished and just wanted to go home. Then the bill.It took about 45 minutes to get the bill, and when it arrived it was nonsense. Food was itemised and roughly right, but drinks and desserts were a flight of fancy. When queried, we got a differently wrong bill and they had no idea how they arrived at it. Caveat emptor: if you have to eat here, keep track of everything you order, double check your bill and take care you don't pay a whopping hidden extra.Maybe it's OK when it's quiet. But competition is intense in this business and there's no reason to come here again unless things change significantly.

Table for three with excellent food and drink. Service was good but the room was a bit chilly. We would not hesitate to eat there again.

Good food well prepared and presented, pleasant helpful staff who coped well with a number of customers arriving at the same time plus dealing with take away orders.

First time and last time.It was a big party of people,booked in at 7.30 Didn't get our mains till 9.00 rice didn't come till 15 mins after that then chips didn't arrive until I finished the meal.My advice to the Masala club if you can't handle that many people don't book it.

Absolutely horrendous from start to finish. Never received first drinks order had to ask twice and had to go to the bar throughout the evening to order any beverages as they just didn't have enough staff....waited over an hour & a quarter for our mains which 2 out of the 4 were cold & 1 main had different temperature chicken pieces in it. When we complained firstly the manager apologised & offered a replacement dish but when we had a problem with the second main the manager stuck his fingers into it & said it wasn't cold then proceeded to use the rice on the plate to remove the sauce off his fingers!!! AND finally when we went to pay the bill they tried to charge us for it. It was our first & very last time in there, we will never set foot in that place again.
