Masala India is a husband and wife run restaurant at 466 High Road in Leyton. The kitchen’s stated aim is to serve the kind of Indian food the owners eat at home, including dishes and combinations that are less common on standard curry house menus.
Tiffin boxes are a defining part of the experience, bringing four dishes together in a meal for one. Meat, pescetarian, vegetarian and vegan versions allow diners to explore several flavours at once rather than choosing a single curry.
Street snacks include pani puri filled with chickpeas, onion, tamarind, coriander chutney and chaat masala, as well as samosa chaat and onion pakora. The tandoor section covers chicken tikka, paneer tikka, seekh kebab and lamb chops, with mixed grills designed for sharing.
Classic dishes, biryani, breads, vegan and vegetarian cooking, lassi, chai and desserts complete the menu. Dine in, takeaway and a garden seating area give the Leyton restaurant several ways to visit, but its strongest identity remains the generous, personal style of home cooking.
Address: 466 High Road, Leyton, London E10 6QA, England
