"At this point, Unapologetic Foods, the team behind Dhamaka and Semma, both of which made our 2021 Best New Restaurants list, know their brand. They serve hyper-specific regional Indian food that you’ll describe in great detail to everyone you know for months after you eat it. At Masalawala & Sons in Park Slope, the focus is on Kolkata and the surrounding region of West Bengal. Between the tapioca-stuffed sabudana vada, bone marrow with shaved egg, and off-the-bone kosha mangsho, the menu is nearly flawless. That’s to be expected. But this time, they have a bigger, brighter space (their first in Brooklyn) with more personal touches than any of their other restaurants—including a mural of the man who inspired much of the food on their menu (and is also the face on their sign outside): the owner’s father." - carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang, neha talreja, bryan kim
