"This fast-casual restaurant was opened less than a year ago in the Encinitas Ranch Town Center by a former chef from Royal India and his wife, who serve scratch-made Indian dishes. In addition to a tangy chicken tikka masala, the lamb chops stood out as a star. They’re made to order, so be prepared for a wait that’s worth it. Masala Street cooks the lamb chops in a tandoori oven for 15 to 20 minutes until they’re barbecued to a perfect char and the meat is juicy and tender. The chops are paired with a generous portion of onions and peppers; be sure to get the house-made mint sauce for an extra kick." - Candice Woo
