I’d been meaning to do brunch at Masala Lab for over a year and finally made it. It did not disappoint. My husband and I ordered the kitchari with creamy dal and bright pickled eggs and the chaat hash, smothered tenderly in butter chicken. I’d recommend both dishes, and likely the rest, too; I was eyeing everyone else’s orders, and they all smelled and looked beautiful. We had enough food for leftovers, and the real question is whether it becomes dinner tonight or breakfast tomorrow.
Great options for vegetarian people as well! First time having Indian breakfast and it will definitely not be the last. Everything is super flavorful and filling. They also have a delicious food cart by the same owners (DesiPDX) that I would also recommend checking out!
Tasted good but really expensive and they hide a 20% gratuity charge until you're about to swipe your card which I dislike. It also took us 40 minutes to get our food and others who sat after us received their food before us. I'm not sure if getting lamb played a roll in that, but they should mark it on the menu if it makes the food take longer.
Absolutely incredible. Shared three meals with friends, all DELICIOUS - chaat hash, shrimp and grits, and lamb with eggs. The waffle maker was in the hospital, so I’ll definitely go back to try the pakora waffle and fried chicken. The chai and chaibucha were also wonderful. It was spendy but definitely worth it!
Dedicated gf. The owner was working the front counter and was very nice. I mentioned I was celiac and he said "You're safe here." It's brunch only, but the owner said they're soon going to be adding lunch. The food was excellent. Menu a little on the meat/eggs-heavy side but a few good vegetarian options. I had the hash and my friend had the shrimp & grits and we both loved it. I wanted to try the pakora waffle but their waffle iron was broken. Lovely space, high ceilings, and courtyard seating option. My only qualm is that they automatically add a 20% tip to your bill. Like, really, you don't trust us to tip? Plus, it's counter service, not full table service.
