1 month agoMasala Library certainly makes a strong first impression with its stunning décor. The brass doors and sleek white palette set a sophisticated tone, creating high expectations for the experience ahead. The ambiance exudes elegance, hinting at the upscale dining I was looking forward to.
However, that initial excitement quickly faded as soon as we interacted with the staff. The reservation clerk, rather than offering a warm greeting, made a peculiar remark, noting that he had seen us dining at a nearby restaurant and suggesting there was no need for us to dine again as there wasn’t a table big enough for us. He laughed it off by saying that we already ate before so there’s no need to eat again here. This remark felt completely out of place and conveyed an unwelcoming tone, leaving us feeling uncomfortable and setting the wrong tone for the evening.
Service overall was fine. The waiters, dressed in traditional Indian attire, provided efficient service, fulfilling their duties adequately.
The food, unfortunately, did not meet expectations. I had very high expectations since it’s a Michelin star restaurant. The yellow daal, which had been highly recommended, was bland and lacked the vibrant flavors I had anticipated. The chicken in the chicken biryani was rancid, making it inedible. The garlic shrimp was the only dish that stood out, but it wasn’t nearly enough to redeem the meal as a whole. Overall, the presentation of the food was mediocre and not Michelin star worthy.
Overall, Masala Library fell far short of the Michelin-star experience I had hoped for. The combination of an unwelcoming atmosphere and mediocre food made it feel overrated. I won’t be returning, especially because of that odd comment about us eating again; I would suggest exploring other options for a truly exceptional dining experience.
