diabolical
I went to this place after reading the reviews and hype extolling the virtues of this simply marvellous place.
After dining there I can safely say that masala zone is all mouth and no trousers.
The staff spend a long time telling you about their 'special system' (basically they give you a bit of everything on a plate) as if they are trying to explain quantam phsyics to a slightly slow 4-year-old.
Although what I did get on a plate was enjoyable, the portions were meager and the service went from unctious to perfunctory in one fell swoop.
Whilst my dad was on the phone a waitress came up to me to ask if I would like a dessert and I told her that I would inform her once the he was off the phone.
When he got off, which was only about 2 minutes later, the waitress snapped at me that I couldn't have a dessert now, that it was too late.
The staff then proceeded to turn the full glare of the lights on to give us a hint to get out - we hadn't even been in very long.
Unfortunately, not long after this experience I had to visit another branch of this dire chain becuase it was someone else's choice.
This time it was for lunch, rather than dinner but I wasn't surprised to see that the staff here did the same trick of putting what seemed like high-beam lighting on and basically making it very clear that you had to "eat your dinner and get to f*ck" (to use one of my dear ma ma's phrases) as soon as you had finished your meal.
All in all appaulling and deserves to go out of business.
