One of the best Indian food I’ve ever tried ! The service is impeccable ; the hosts are very nice and helpful, they explained the dishes and proposed food according to our taste and spice appreciation. The food is amazing, tasteful and well proportioned. We ate there twice and we felt very welcomed. Try it, you won’t regret it !

A local favourite, I was back again for as always, a delicious meal. The chicken tikka was tender and flavoursome. My sister introduced me to their biryani, which is served with a very good vegetable curry. And kofta dessert is irresistible.

If you're a fan of Indian cuisine, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. The standout dish is undeniably the Prawn Madras. It's a masterful blend of perfectly spiced curry with tender, succulent prawns that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy. The depth of flavor in the Madras is unparalleled, striking a perfect balance between heat and richness. Equally impressive is the service. The staff is exceptionally attentive and friendly, making every visit feel like a special occasion. They’re knowledgeable about the menu and they’re genuinely passionate about ensuring you have a memorable dining experience. From the moment you step in until the last bite, the combination of extraordinary food and stellar service makes this restaurant a true gem in the culinary scene.

Have being eating here for years. Very traditional curry house, great value taste and kind, courteous service. Off the main roads, so lovely and quiet! Quite a small place, so always a friendly atmosphere.

Really attentive and lovely service. Was highly recommended by a friend so we had to visit the restaurant last night and we were blown away! Absolutely delicious and rich. Felt like “home-cooking” and was a comforting meal for a Friday night. We also had a toddler with us and the staff were so great to ensure the little one enjoyed his meal too. Very sweet. We loved it so much we are already planning our next visit!

Very good food and very good service. I talked to the waiter and the new owner, both are very nice. They will have some work done regarding the interior, so I think next time I can give more stars for the ambience ;). By the way, Depa Tandoori is the old name, so if you walk by and see „Masala“ go in and give it a try :)
