I've been to masala quite a few times, generally to unwind with couple of drinks and decent food. Its an ok place when u don't want to spend much for both alcohol and food.
there is a pub preferably only for guys. not much recommended for family.
the ambience is not bad
service specially upstairs in the A/C section is very slow
food is moderately priced, decent tasting, i'm a vegetarian so can't vouch non veg food
