Masalacraft, Bandra

Masalacraft is an out of the way restaurant. The place where is it located implies that it will have traffic from its regular patrons and the only time I went, it was full which is ample proof that the fare is decent.
Masalacraft has tried to give an upmarket feel about its restaurant and has been reasonably successful in the attempt. There is a lot of polished bare wood. Long tables, large rows of wood over head and pretty neat and innovative seating spaces. The light is a bit too dim for my linking but I guess it adds to the slightly upmarket feel about the restaurant. The other really good aspect is that there is load of space around and absolutely no chance of your table conversations being heard.
The food at Masalacraft is decent without being outstanding. I have sampled their Biriyani which is better that the usual variety available at Mumbai. Tasty without too much oil. We also ordered their house special, the lemon chicken. The first time they served the lemon chicken was a touch too burnt. We asked them to change the same which they agreed to do after a good deal of convincing. The second time of serving they got it right and it was good to eat although the initial reluctance to change left a bad taste in the mouth.
A meal for two at Masalacraft without drinks will cost you Rs 450/-
How to get there: Masalacraft is in Reclamation, close to Lilavati hospital. If you are coming towards Lilavati from Bandstand, you have to cross the hospital and take a right towards the Western Express. However immediately on taking a right you will see a left turn which you need to take. The left term leads to a T junction and you will see Masalacraft immediately on taking another left.
