If you just glanced at the shopfront, you might walk past & not try it. You would be wholly wrong. This place has a 5* hygiene rating & you can see the kitchen. Yes the decor is tired, and there are supplies piled inside the front door, but the quality of the food is exceptional, and the prices reflect the takeaway/delivery only format, so a bargain. We were having a party with a number of vegetarian & vegan guests. The owner took extreme care to get the order right and to clearly label the particular vegan items for our guests’ comfort (even the complimentary pickles/sauces). When someone goes to that much trouble, you know that they really care about delivering a fantastic meal - which it was! Best sag paneer I’ve ever had. The guests loved and raved about all of the food & we’ll definitely go back. Just to note, this place prefers cash so they have a £15 minimum to pay by card. Takeaway or delivery only.

Masala is a fabulous Indian restaurant. It is easily the best in Dorchester. They were happy to prepare a dish not on their menu (Shashlick Phaal) for me and it was exceptional. The balance of spices and heat complimented the tender succulent chicken that I ordered. The Tarka Daal was a perfect accompaniment and the rice was perfect too. The staff are very good, friendly and efficient without being overbearing. They timed their visits to the table with perfection. Despite not living in the UK, I have been to this restaurant many times and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended.

It was pretty quiet when we visited but the food was great. There were many dishes that seemed unique and the flavours were great. If I was to be critical of one thing, it would be that the chicken in my meal was more chewy than expected but it did not detract sufficiently to remove a star. Worth a visit for sure.

My first experience of this restaurant although I’ve heard great things from a friend who lives locally. On this occasion we had a takeaway. My chicken tikka Marsala was delicious and I enjoyed the poppadoms with pickle pots - a first for me. I hope to return when next visiting Dorchester and have a full restaurant meal.

On a first visit to Lyme Regis (after too many years!) noticed this restaurant as we walked by. I thought the menu looked good, my wife spotted it was bring your own wine - what's not to like? Place was very busy on a Saturday, mostly for takeaways, but we were happy to sip our wine and enjoy our food while joshing with Kar, who has a great sense of humour. We had to promise him we would return - and we will!

I don't often write reviews. But after this experience I've got to. I can honestly say that this is the worst Indian restaurant that I have ever visited in my lifetime. The food was totally disgusting I'm sorry I didn't take a photo. After 10 minutes after the food arrived we couldn't believe it. We asked to speak to the manager or the chef and we told them what we thought about the food which I couldn't say on here. We refused to eat it and decided to leave.when we were leaving my wife decided she needed to use the ladies.when she came out she said she couldn't use it because the toilet bowl was absolutely disgusting plus the was used toilet paper all over the floor. I am that furious about this place I've decided to report them to the local health authority. Please do not visit this place. It's absolutely disgusting . How they haven't been closed down is unbelievable. Avoid at all cost believe me. Go to Bridport that's we done and had a beautiful meal

New owners and what a great meal we had. Currently living in the Midlands and we have a superb range of great curry houses. Not often I come across a menu where I want to try such a range of dishes, it took us ages to pick our choices. They do all of the usuals from tikka Madala to Rogan Josh. In addition there are really interesting Indian dishes including lobster, squid and beef rump. The three of us chose 2 starters and 3 mains between us. The trio of chicken was delicious, even though one of them was bright green! The lamb strips were fabulous, like a minted red current jelly lamb with an Indian twist. If you like a rich slightly sweet curry the lamb and apricot could be for you. My sis had the lamb shank which just fell off the bone. Ann loved her New Delhi chicken which was creamy and full of flavour. The Naan was some of the best I’ve had, light and crisp and the mushroom rice was another triumph. We will definitely eat here again, I’m a real foodie and this was such a lovely surprise, great food, £21 a head with drinks, bargain!
