Excellent taste! Best butter chicken I have tried here in Montreal. Spiciness level can be adjusted to like, so everyone can eat it. The naan is fresh & tasty. The service is excellent & very professional

Great food & great service.
We had chicken lollipop, tandoori chicken, butter & garlic & kalonji naans.

Tandoori chicken & naans were the best, the naans were so fresh & crunchy.

The butter chicken was a little too buttery, but the taste was very good.

It was a good experience at Masakali, staff is very polite & respectful. We ordered appetizers & main course, appetizers(Masala fried corn) were good & came in very good quantity it can serve more than 2 people. Ordered kadhai paneer if you are Indian & can tolerate spices go for spicy hot. Atmosphere was very pleasant & music going on in background but it was hot in there probably as it was cold out & we dressed up warm. Overall it was a good experience & before we left there was a mouthfreshner & Melody which always reminds me of restaurants in India.

I was disappointed & quite frustrated, as the plates served were improperly cleaned & still had food stains on them, as if they had been rinsed & given directly to a new customer. Even the second set of plates we received had small marks on them. This was not acceptable.
