“Situated at Queens Quay in Derry’s waterfront, with
panoramic views over the Foyle and the peace bridge, Mama Masala offers a
unique mix of an authentic Indian Tandoori Restaurant and an Italian Pizzeria!”
As the sun set on the Foyle and the running club took full advantage of the good weather, we were transported to the other side of the world with aromas of spices and a subtle hint of cultural music in the background.
Reaching the top of the stairs to the restaurant of Mama
Masala we were greeted and seated by the window and our host brought a
selection of menus including the drinks menu, early bird menu and the full
menu.
Popadom’s were ordered as a starter along with Chicken
Pakora. Both were served piping hot and with a wide selection of dips to choose
from. Each dip tickled every taste bud with both spicy and sweet sauces!

In between courses we ordered Strawberry Daiquiri’s, which
we could see were made fresh from the bar and served in large cocktail glasses
for £4.95, assuring value for money.
Service was speedy and attentive to detail; our water jug
was replenished without us asking, dishes were cleared almost as soon as we
were finished and the next course was delivered promptly.
Chicken Korma from the student menu with a soft drink and
the Indian Curry was ordered as the main courses served with Naan bread and
chips.

Ripping the Naan bread apart released the aroma of freshly
baked goods, the bread was both soft and crispy and accompanied the dishes perfectly.
Both mains were served in authentic Indian style curry
pots ensuring steady temperature throughout our meal. The Indian curry was hot
and spicy but not off-putting, and the chicken was succulent and tender. The
pot was large enough for two to share and we will know for the next time we
visit!
The chicken korma, being on the student deal menu, was
slightly smaller but still could not be finished by one person. The korma as
expected was slightly milder than the curry but the chef still managed to pack
in tantalising flavours into the little Indian pot.

When we were finished and paying the bill we noticed a
small £1 but none the less, powerful donation Mama Masala had added on to raise
money for Foyle Down Syndrome Trust. We were more than happy to keep our
donation on our bill and would pay this time and time again.
