Masala Zone is coming to Piccadilly

MW Eat is bringing its pan-Indian restaurant Masala Zone to London’s Piccadilly Circus this month.

The latest opening from the operator, which also owns Chutney Mary, Amaya and Veeraswamy, will be the group’s seventh restaurant in the city.

Masala Zone Piccadilly Circus will initially be open for lunch and dinner, but will soon also offer afternoon tea and breakfast.

The menu will feature grazing dishes such as sprouted lentil bhel, vada pao sliders and gourmet grills including Lucknowi lamb biriyani and paneer tikka, alongside regional curries and traditional thalis. 

Desserts will showcase Indian sweet treats fashioned by the restaurant’s ‘Halwais’ (dessert chefs). Highlights include kulfis and the classic Gujarati shrikhand dessert.

Alongside a range of classic cocktails with a Masala Zone twist, such as chai-infused Negronis and rose and cardamom-infused almond sours, the Piccadilly restaurant will have a list of wines that complement the menu, as well as a selection of beers.

The 150-cover venue will be adorned with maximalist patterns, while a contemporary take on the traditional Jali screens will punctuate the room. 

The restaurant will also offer private dining in the form of ‘The Leopard Room’, suitable for up to 32 people.

Ranjit Mathrani, chairman of MW Eat, comments: "We are delighted to be adding Masala Zone Piccadilly Circus to the MW Eat portfolio. To be opening in such a central location is wonderfully exciting and we look forward to welcoming customers new and old to enjoy the wealth of tastes India offers."
