Masala Mantar is the cousin to Urban Tadka - promoted by the same people, and largely trying to fit in a bigger set of people and serve them good north indian food.
However, where it all goes wrong, is the Service. Eating out is a flash in the pan event, but it is an event, and much like the food, the service matters.
My first visit to the joint was the week it opened, and they did not have too many patrons and the place was real nice to us with a lot of attention given. However, I've seen it grow over the months and years and get Nasty!
The last time I got there, these dudes took the longest time however to serve me. This was 6-8 months ago. The food sucked, the order was mired with confusion, and they took 25 minutes to get me 1 rumali roti.
However, like the previous reviewers write, the food is mostly very good here! So hopefully, they can get their service right too again :)
