A pleasure to welcome Dr Solanki, his wife and their family to Cafe Masala for a wonderful vegetarian dining experience.

Their continued support means a great deal to us. Guests return for the authenticity of our cuisine, crafted from traditional recipes and spices carefully sourced from Bengal. Our management works closely to ensure many of our spices are grown in Bengal and imported to the UK, preserving the rich, authentic flavours that define our food.

Thank you for dining with us once again. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Lamb Dum Biryani

Slow-cooked under a sealed lid, layer by layer - tender lamb, fragrant basmati, whole spices, and caramelised onions. Dum cooking does something that time can’t rush.

This is the one you’ll come back for.
