Get a taste of what true Indian cuisine is about and visit City Masala, an authentic restaurant on Fetter Lane in East London. Open for lunch Monday to Friday, and dinner Monday to Saturday, the restaurant offers London residents, commuters and visitors the chance to enjoy Indian dining at its finest.
If you're stopping by for lunch, you can enjoy a special set menu, with the option to order one, two or three courses. Starters include the chargrilled sheek minced lamb kebab, plus bite sized chicken tikka marinated with yoghurt, cheese and cardamom, and beloved, crispy onion bhajis. All main courses are served with rice and naan bread, and there's options of chicken or lamb with most meat dishes (like the dansak, saag and bhuna) along with an Indian paneer tikka masala, chickpeas in a special spice mix, and a vegetable karahi with herbs and spices. Last but not least, it's time for dessert. It's a simple coconut ice cream on offer, which will refresh your taste buds after your meal.
If you love to visit Indian restaurants for the sense of nostalgia that they bring, always opting for the same comforting classics that you know you'll love, then you've come to the right place. City Masala has a whole section of the menu dedicated to old favourites, and if there's something you have in mind which doesn't feature, the team will try their best to whip it up for you. Choose from a creamy and smooth chicken korma, king prawn saag cooked with spinach, or spicy lamb vindaloo. Vegetarians have plenty to choose from, with dishes of brinjal bhaji, the aloo gobi with a tomato and ginger flavoured sauce, and matar paneer with peas and cream.
