We were idiots and did not pay attention to the vegan and vegetarian marketing. We were just excited about finding Indian food after traveling through Italy for 3 weeks and having none. We ordered drinks and backed out of buying dinner and the staff handled it very professionally. We felt bad but it just wasnt what we were looking for.

I was there with my family, we had an worst experience. Food was tasteless. Worst part was there service. They have different views for south Asian and GOREY, as if South Asia are there to eat in free. I will never recommend there food and there service to anyone. They are the worst.Forget to mention> they have the worst Garlic Naan.

The place is pure vegetarian idle for Jains and people who avoid eating in multi cuisine restaurants. It’s a little pricey but then, what’s not in Swiss !! The staff is very friendly, gives an honest guidance of what to eat and what not. A must try.

I went with my family to Masala twice for dinner. We all loved the food and really impressed with their presentation and hospitality. The best part is that they are 100% pure veg . We all really loved and enjoyed our dinner .We would highly recommend masala atleast must try this restaurant .

One of the most disappointing Indian restaurants Ive been to. The plates were very small, everything had a huge surcharge (like 6 CHF for a small basket of garlic naan). Vegetarian options only, which Ive never seen at an Indian restaurant before, which meant their menu was very small, by far the smallest Ive ever seen in an Indian place. I guess if they do a few dishes very well that could be OK, and the food was fine, but really very small. Paying 30 CHF for a small plate of "NotChicken" or whatever their fake meat was called is high, even for what I expected in Zurich.Basically the worst value-for-price Ive ever had in an Indian restaurant. The sauce was quite good, but I didnt care for the veggies or anything else really.

The food was good but the behavior of the staff was not appropriate. We are Jains and my parents dont eat onion and garlic. Since all the curries had onion and garlic we had to order curd and Paratha which was fine. The taste of both was good but since the order turned out only for 10 Francs the staffs treatment was disrespectful towards us. We were not even given a plate to eat in and to use the wifi we were told to pay 20 Franc per person.

Very impressed with the cuisine, service and ambience at this vegetarian North Indian restaurant. We especially enjoyed the Onion Bhaji and Dal Shorba for starters, and the paneer korma and paneer tikka masala curries. The naans were also really good. Thanks and we’ll be back again soon!

The menu changed to veggie only in Jan 2022.Well, now I have to change it to 1/5 as the owners are so hostile, see their response below, what a joke. Now I will literally never go back. I was there with two friends in mid February. The menu is tiny now compared to before. You most certainly used to give out padadum with a selection of 3 sauces.I wanted to like their new shift to vegetarian-only dishes but… I just can’t. The new menu is so limited, a third of the only dishes they have are eight or nine dishes all with paneer (a cheese that tastes like tofu), another third are dishes with "no chicken" an artificial meat substitute made out of god knows what but doesn’t really taste like chicken, and then another third are veggie dishes. We got one of each of the three.Despite going to veggie only, the prices increased further for their plates which were to be honest always rather small. 32 francs for a small curry with "no chicken" in it? No thanks. They also no longer give you the little "Indian chips" with various sauces as an amuse buche.If the restaurant still exists in two years maybe I will try it again. This used to be my go-to Indian place but now I will look elsewhere.Really not against them going vegetarian only but the new menu is just so minimal and I don’t like paneer, leaving me with a pitiful list of options for prices that even by Zürich standards are VERY high for small veggie plates.

inapropriate staff behaviour, we went there for take away with our four year daughter and she wa sitiing on the table and playing with fork and spoon. I asked the staff how much time will it take, so the staff told us that ur order will take 15 min and you can come back and collect it as ur kid is spoiling our table. Unreal man who talks like that to someone and let me tell you kids are like that only. improve, you have lost one customer and might lost many.

I went to Masala for lunch with a colleague and I was really impressed.I lived in London for many years where there are many good Indian restaurants so my expectations weren’t too high. That said, I found a really great and attentive customer service, good food, fair prices and most importantly plenty of vegan options.I would highly recommend Masala and I will definitely go back soon.

Horrible experience.....food brought to the table when already cold..First morsel of food and then realised that its not freshly prepared. Highly disappointed. Would not recommend. And yes it is priced way above other indisches restaurant. You can eat better at a five star restaurant.

I was craving some Indian food and went to Masala restaurant unfortunately.. as I saw good rating. Please do not eat Paneer Makhani and Lachha Parantha here. Despite asking for medium spicy the paneer makhani was super sweet. While the Latcha parantha was only a parantha. When we asked them to make paneer spicy they added 100ml (Too muchoil and lots of Kashmiri Mirch (red chillionly to make it even worst. We returned home unhappy with a burn in our pocket as well.We are never going there again. The staff and ambience was ok so rating it atleast 1 star else it was no better than zero.

Ordered the Tandoori option via Uber Eats. Based on the description, we believed the dish was vegetarian. Since I am allergic to seafood and 2/3 of the dish was seafood, I was really disappointed. Please update your online menu.

I would not recommend going to this restaurant if you want to enjoy indian food. The price tag doesn‘t match the food quality and the service provided. No side dishes are included for very small portions that are inbetween 25-38 CHF.Service wasn‘t satisfying at all.Food was way too overpriced.Dishes weren‘t matching the price as well.Summary: If you want to enjoy authentic indian food, where you get what you‘re going to pay for, go somewhere else.Way too costly, sadly.

It is a nice ambience Indian restaurant. The food is also good. They have variety of Indian dishes in menu. They serve on top of small candle to keep the food warm while you eat. This restaurant is located at a perfect location as it is located just next to tram station and well connected by many tram such as 2 9 and 14.

This restaurant is not recommendable, they have a very fancy atmosphere, and the service is good but for the price is not. Chicken tikka masala costs 32.50, BUT they charge you separately for rice (this is included in most restaurants, since you cant really eat it by itself, its basically a sauceso the total price for a very small dish is 36.50. This is not acceptable even for Zurich standards. Wont go again.

Very good service. Huge selection on starters and main dishes. Nice presentation of the dishes. The taste and quality of the food is good but not great. Thats why a star is off. The restaurant is not cheap but definitely not overpriced for being in Zurich
