"Casual Indian eatery Masala Story started serving lamb curry and masala chai to Brookland diners a month ago. The new arrival was originally designed as an extension of NoMa favorite Indigo but that plan unraveled last fall due to “insurmountable” problems between now-estranged family members. The completely separate entity from co-owner Manish Berry includes a fully stocked bar, assorted vegan and vegetarian dining options, and a long list of platters with sides like chickpeas and rice ($12 to $15). The colorful and modern space, with brick, wood, and industrial accents, couches, and TVs, invites diners to stay a while. Read on to hear what customers are saying, four weeks into service." - Tierney Plumb
