Masa

I have been to many as 5 different afghan restaurants across London... and still trying to find if any one else can beat Masa... The barbecue is amazing... The afghan pasta Mantoo needs to be tried by all... The staff are hard working and very friendly...

I go there in a regular basis and no complaint about the food... THE BARBECUE IS A MUST TRY AS WELL AS THE MANTOO!!! recommended to all...

Also the food is cheaper than other places with similar food... so well worth the price...

Everytime I go I see they are getting better which more awards... this explains how good they are...

MUST TRY!!!

Masa has become a regular stop for me on my trips to England. i haven't found an Afghan restaurant here in the states that i have enjoyed more than my meals there. And now a trip to London is not complete without dinner at Masa with friends and family. a MUST for anyone that loves Afghan food!

My family go to Masa's on a regular basis, as we all thoroughly enjoy the experience of dining there. The food is delicious and well presented! I am vegetarian and the rest of my family eat meat, but there's something there for everyone (am a big fan of the paneer kebab). The atmosphere is pleasant. The service can't be faulted - friendly and efficient. The bill at the end is very reasonable. You get a lot of tasty food for your money (which is good as my family can eat a lot!). I could not disagree more the reviewer who has used the words 'appalling' and 'disturbingly inferior' here. Ridiculous. And in fact, the purpose of that review seems to be to promote another restaurant, which smacks a little of insincerity...

I totally would recommend Masa's to couples, families, all!!

Can not describe in words how appalling the quality of food is here in comparison to the Afghan restaurant I visit on a regular basis (Afghan Khyber Restaurant, Uxbridge Road, just past Ealing Hospital), if you think Masa is amazing then please try Khyber Pass, you will never return to Masa. Prices are the same but the quality of meat in Masa was disturbingly inferior, fatty, hardly any meat on the lamb shank in the qabeli rice, the houmous was dried up, the naan and salad were not too bad but you can not go wrong with that. The mantoo looked dried up, just covered in yoghurt, not the usual lentils, herbs and spices.No afghani style tea, in the end 2 of my dining companions had to leave the restaurant abruptly as a stench that is indescribable started to overpower our surroundings...

Great fresh tasty food at very good prices. I have been to Masa many times and it's certainly one of the best restaurants in London. The food portions are very generous, I've never been able to finish mine. Best to go with a group of friends and try their Masa special with Qabli Pilaw. You should certainly try their Mantoo.

This restaurant is absolutely superb, the food - incredible and the prices very very reasonable! Would definately recommend it.

Only sour point was the service was a little off when we went there, didn't spoil the meal though.

Based on other reviews maybe I went at the wrong time. After sitting down to eat the place effectively turned into a mosque with loud, blaring Afghan television full of religious devotion. I ordered a single dish and got far more than I bargained for - the lamb was tender and delicious but too many bones. There was a large unexpected bowl of soup - too much for me to finish and salad on the side. They did not have tea on demand at the time so I had no drinks worth speaking of. Quantities seem generous, prices are certainly affordable but the atmosphere felt pretty spartan and religious. I would have preferred to have more attentive waiters and better descriptions of what I was supposed to get. Good if you're hungry but not so good for an overall dining experience. There were only so many prayers I could take.

We read the reviews for this restaurant in time out magazine & thought of trying it out. We found the food to be excellent. The food was so fresh & it tasted delicious. I especially enjoyed a dish called Mantoo & all the barbeque stuff was great. We would recommend this to all. The atmosphere is nice, ideal for couples & even for families. The service is pleasant & we were pleasantly surprised to see the owner of the restaurant taking time to assure that we were satisfied with the food and service.We now go there atleast once a month.The journey from surrey to Masa is long but well worth the drive

I was recommended here from a friend, I had the meal called MASA SPECIAL, which was so amazing in taste, rich and well presented, I could not choose from which side to start from as everything on the plate was looking good.

I would definitely recommend this restaurant to EVERYONE!!!

The restaurant itself is really outstanding and looks expensive but once you try the food it just suits the atmosphere and the place itself. You need to try it to believe it.

RECOMMENDED TO ALL!!!
