    This a cosy little place. Very welcoming and informal. We went out as a group. Quick, polite and friendly service. The chicken and mushroom curry was good but the chicken was with bones which made it difficult to share easily. The saag chicken was ok and was boneless. Then came potatoes and Aubugenes, which was horrible. The potatoes were too big and very hard. So nobody could eat it. We did mention it to the people there but nothing was done about it, not even an apology. In the desserts Kulfi n coconut chocolate pudding were ok but the carrot pudding (gajerela) was disgusting…. watery, cold n tasteless. They should take it off from the menu. And the bill came, most of us were shocked to see it. It was too much for the quality of food we were served. Central London prices in Brockley .

    I’ve eaten here a couple of times and its really excellent. The food is really carefully prepared, and the chef took the time to talk to talk to us about the options on the menu and what he reccommended based on the quality of the ingredients they had. The menu is quite small, but both main vegan options were delicious, probably on the spicy side compared to many other similar restaurants! The service was very attentive, the decor of the restaurant is gorgeous, and the ‘beer and curry’ deal from Mon-Thur offers excellent value. Highly reccomended !!

    Its a Friday night, Ive just stepped off the train from my daily commute and cant be bothered to cook, what do I do? I head to Masala Wala Cafe of course. Run by mother and daughter, serving Pakistani cuisine this is by far the best place to eat in Brockley, South East London. Oh and its BRING. YOUR. OWN. BOOZE!Masala Wala makes it simple for you by having just four dishes to choose from and you can add sides and condiments. Ive been here a couple of times and the menu differed from my first visit. This is good. Everyone likes a bit of variety.Baingan gosht, an aubergine and lamb curry was my favourite of the evening. The whole dish was full of flavour with each spice working its magic in your mouth. Once you have enjoyed the spices, bang, the heat kicks in from the chilli. It isnt stupidly hot, though and they offer a fresh raita, which helps if youre not great with spicy food. Palak murgh, a chicken and spinach curry was more subtle in flavour, but a good bowlful of comfort food goodness. The chicken comes on the bone and you can tell this has been cooking away for hours, as it was so moist and the meat just fell away from the bone. Especially good when mopped up with the delicious homemade rotis they have.Ive never had dessert here as Im always happily stuffed by the mains. They offer kulfi ice cream, again, homemade and I believe the flavours change often, too. The options all seem inviting and a great way to cleanse the palate after your savoury dishes. Flavours include pistachio, mango and lychee.The lady, Im assuming was the daughter (if not, then I need to know her skincare routine) was extremely friendly. We had a good chat with her and she went over the menu with us, as it was different from before. The venue itself is small, very relaxed, yet buzzy. Ive never seen the place not busy, always a good sign. With the added bonus that it is BYOB, you wont be denting your bank balance either. They currently do not take card, so remember your cash. I think this may be my favourite curry place joint at the moment.One of my friends is a curry fiend; shes like the Curry Queen. She can suffer from upset stomach, but that doesnt stop her, she motors through them anyway. Dedication, I say. I need to bring her here because I know shed absolutely love it. If she doesnt, then I clearly dont know her at all.Even the likes of Professor Green have been spotted here. So, you know I must be cool, right?The perfect place to catch up with mates over a beer and a ruby. secretscoffer.wordpress.com
