Massala - new indian restaurant in Tarragona

If you are visiting Tarragona, you might like to try this very friendly Indian restaurant, which offers traditional biryanis, baltis and curries plus some pizzas and pasta dishes.

We tried poppadoms and onion bhajis (huge!), followed by chicken Madras (acceptably hot for UK tastes), a very tasty lamb Rogan Josh, basmati rice and nan-type bread (they don't seem to have a nan oven but remember we are in Tarragona).

For dessert, a kind of rice pudding with nuts and some interesting green raisins. With four Indian Cobra beers, coffee and rum chupitos our bill came to 39 euros for two, but you could easily eat for less. Various Indian vegetarian dishes. Portions are modest.

The decor is attractive and Salou veterans Said, Kamal and the lovely Lluna all speak excellent English and are really attentive and friendly: we felt very welcome and will definitely go back.

They offer wifi, a large screen TV also do a Bollywood evening so best start practicing your moves before you go Wink

Ramón y Cajal, 51, 43005 Tarragona. Near the bus station and the Parc Central/Eroski shopping centre, and about 10 minute's walk from the Corte Inglés and the Rambla. Tel. 977 220 847, massalarestaurant@yahoo.com

Having read Jeff's comments, I decided to try out Masala, albeit with some scepticism, given that my attempts to find a decent English-style curry house in the twenty-odd years I have been in Spain, including Indian restaurants in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Tarragona, have been fruitless. The fare on offer has usually been adapted to local tastes, rather bland for my liking, and more often than not consisted of a selection on a tray.
The search is over. The Lamb Bhuna with rice, roti and Cobra beer that followed my samosa starter was of the standard of a good curry house in the UK and far superior to anything I have had outside the UK. And for 11.40€! Highly recommended.   Smiley

Free WIFI with your poppadoms , I was able to have my 27inch screen laptop open on the table and take calls on my iphone just like I used to in the Restaurants in London ahhh the good old days.Telephone number if you wish to book is 977 220847.

I found the decor a little dull I like bright paint work with lots of nick knacks. Nobrot should be catered for though as they have two resident lady-boy dancers. See Vid below.

I suggest you take your hearing aids out before entering.
