"What's Different: The original Masalawala, which was on the LES and closed in spring 2021, featured dishes from owner Roni Mazumdar's hometown, Kolkata. You can still get some of those dishes at this Park Slope spot along with some new items. There's also a market in the restaurant where you can buy spice blends and home goods. Verdict: Masalawala & Sons is from the team behind Dhakama and Semma. At this point, they know their brand: inventive, hyper-specific regional Indian food you’ll have a hard time finding elsewhere in the city. The food is on par with their other restaurants, but you’ll stay longer because the bigger space is a better hang." - team infatuation
