Masala

A place where the exotic interior is matched only by the food, visitors to Masala will find themselves transported to a colorful and lush place where tall mosaic pillars climb to a ceiling hung with golden beaded curtains and Buddha statues dot the room, aglow with blue and purple light. Tuck into booths lined with silken pillows to explore a menu dappled with traditional as well as contemporary twists—such as coconut-ginger shrimp sided by sweet mango chutney, and mahi-mahi simmered in a fragrant, spicy curry. The menu also has a dedicated list of apps and entrees hailing from Southern India, including chickpea-flour-battered, deep-fried jalapeños, and a spicy masala dosa, an Indian-style crepe lined with spicy, herbed potatoes and sweet chutney.
