Masala Wala Cafe

The roti was a bit hard, Saag chicken was okayish, chicken was not very well done. Is definitely not homemade. Nothing impressive. They didn't even gave an invoice for Bill. Not worth the hype!

Finally got my arse down to Masala Wala and boy what a treat. I had heard wonderful things about their food already and it lives up to the hype. Between two we shared a chicken and pepper curry and a lamb and aubergine curry served with roti and rice. Both curries were bursting full of flavour and the spices were well balanced. The lamb curry was particularly rich. The texture of the meat was soft soft soft! I also had a mango lassi which just looks beautiful, right? Service was really good and everyone was really friendly. What a gem of a place! Looking forward to a revisit.

From seeing them as the winners of LoveLondon for Best restaurant in Brockley, I though I had better try them, I remember the deli opposite saying they had a deal on the wine, so get a discount on the wine from Brockley deli, and another discount from Masala Wala BUT thats no t the best bit, its the food! Its amazing I've even tried the vegetarian dishes (i'm a meat eater) and I was blown away, I love this place, since my 1st visit we have return numerous times, and even used them as a takeaway service

Very small place, about 20 seating. Wonderful tastes and smells. 4 mains that chnaces frequently. Easy to order, superb staff! Try the Masala beer if you can't decide on the drink.

Brilliant atmosphere, incredible food. A Brockley gem filled with character, intimacy and joy. The staff are just wonderful as well. The food is fresh and truly special. I would highly recommend this if you enjoying trying new curries. Great if you're lactose/ gluten/ dairy intolerant or vegan/ vegetarian too as there is so much choice and it is straightforward to know what you can have. Amazing place.

I just love this place! We go here to eat quite often with my boyfriend and it has never ever dissapointed us! I always eat vegetarian versions, chickpea dish is my favourite, and my bf always has lamb. Even though I don't eat meat just because I don't like a taste of it, this is the only place where I would have a piece or two of that lamb because it's just the best lamb you'll ever taste, just melts in your mouth! Staff is always very friendly too and atmosphere is cozy. Highly recommended!!!

Just had an awesome dinner for my Dad's Birthday. We were a table of 8, and it was the perfect location for it. It was intimate enough that we could all hear each other, but still had a buzz. The food was AMAZING, curry will never be the same again. The staff were a super friendly and accommodating bunch. Definitely recommend. We will 1000% be back.

Incredible service, food and atmosphere which I think largely comes down to the fact that it's a family business. The food shared on the weekly changing menus is inspired by own home cookings so you can't fault recipes which have faired well over decades! Everyone is really friendly and welcoming, making it feel like you've gone to a friend's house for dinner. You have to make sure you get there early though as the tables get swiped up quickly!

I love it. It's a tiny restaurant with a rotational menu of Pakistani food. We had the choice of two meat mains or two veg mains plus sides of roti, rice, dips or pickled veg. It's BYO or you can buy soft drinks from them. I had the bhuna gosht - beautifully cooked lamb with a hint of heat. The host was lovely too. I'll definitely be back.

I went here with a couple of friends. I had heard good stuff about this from some of my friends so I though I should get myself down there and yam on some Indian food. And wow, did it live up to expectations. The only reason that I didn't give it 5*s is that the service was a little slow - but it was worth the wait for some authentic, home cooked style food. I had the chicken which had amazing flavour. Coupled with rice and chapati I was in seventh heaven. I had a mango lassi which completed the meal. Just writing this review is making me hungry again. Damnit! Enjoy :)

Little spot around the corner from my house, discovered it by accident one hungover weekend and have frequented it ever since. Yes sometimes the service can be a bit slow but this is a fully family run business and will always be worth the wait. The menu changes to whatever 'mum' has the ingredients to cook and it's always banging. Best curry I've ever had hands down and I will continue to come here forever! Bring your own beer.
