Masala Art Indian Restaurant Review

It is a small place which can accommodate about 8 people at a time. But they specialise in take aways. They had about 8 to 9 non veg dishes, I.e., beef, mutton and chicken and 2 vegetarian dishes which was chole and Palak paneer. When we told him that we were 3 of us, he suggested that we take 2 of their thali meals which came with 2 non veg curries, rice and a naan or papad. We ordered the beef vindaloo and mutton rogan josh with the piping hot rice and naan. Three of us relished 2 thali meals. The curries are, of course, spicy but we didn't mind it one bit. Each thali was priced at AUD 10. Amazing, we had a good dinner in AUD 20. They also had hot samosas.

Atrocious experience. While ordering, my girlfriend - allergic to nuts - asked if any of the chosen curry ingredients contained any. The woman behind the till told us that they didn't. Great, then, that my girlfriend started to have a reaction five minutes into her meal. After it became clear that it was more than just a trace of nuts, I went inside to ask about the food - only to be told by the manager that the butter chicken dish is cooked with cashews. When I pointed out that we were told that neither of the three dishes contained nuts, no one really seemed to care and we were simply refunded without an apology. Shocking.
