Welcome to Masala Soirée – A Celebration of Spices & Elegance

Masala Soirée was born from a love of spice, celebration, and storytelling. Drawing from the rich traditions of Indian kitchens and the elegant atmosphere of European soirées, we set out to create more than just a restaurant — we created an experience. A place where every meal is crafted with intention, every spice tells a story, and every guest feels the warmth of both home and heritage.

The Sil-Batta Legacy: Where Flavour Begins

In Indian cuisine, the mortar and pestle, also known as “sil-batta” or “okhli,” is a traditional tool used for grinding and crushing spices, herbs, and other ingredients. It consists of a heavy, bowl-shaped mortar made of stone or wood and a pestle, which is a cylindrical tool used to grind and crush the ingredients.

The mortar and pestle have been used in Indian cooking for centuries and are still widely used today. They are valued for their ability to release the essential oils and flavours of spices and herbs, resulting in a more intense and aromatic taste in dishes.

To use a mortar and pestle in Indian cooking, the ingredients are placed in the mortar, and the pestle is used to grind and crush them. The circular motion and pressure applied by the pestle help break down the ingredients, releasing their flavours and aromas. This process allows for better control over the texture and consistency of the ingredients, as well as the ability to customize the level of coarseness or fineness desired.

The mortar and pestle are not only functional tools but also hold cultural significance in Indian households. They are often passed down through generations and are considered a symbol of tradition and heritage. Using a mortar and pestle in Indian cooking is seen as a way to connect with our ancestral rich culture and preserve the authentic flavours and techniques of Indian cuisine.

What Our Customers Say?

Pranuti Raote

*****

The food here is always such a delightful treat! This time, I tried their lollipops — they were absolutely mouthwatering — and the Amritsari fish was truly top tier, like a little party for my taste buds! If you’re visiting, I highly recommend their dum biryani — it’s pure magic in every bite. The staff? Oh, they’re the absolute sweetest — super courteous, cheerful, and so attentive. This was already my fifth visit in just three months… and honestly, I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon! Already counting down the days until my next visit!

Food is very delicious and the ambience is cozy and nice. They have some different and unique options available in their menu and the spices were perfectly blended and balanced. Gravy of the curry was very fresh and they have very different flavours comparing to other places and I loved it.
I would definitely recommend trying Tandoori Malai Mushroom, it’s 10/10. Apricot Malai kofta was also another favourite from their menu.
To be true, the chef really adds the magical flavours to their dishes. 🤤🤗
If I say this is one of the best Indian restaurant in the town, I won’t be lying.
