About Masala
Found at 12 Allen Street in Te Aro, Masala is an Indian restaurant that has become part of the Te Aro dining scene. It sits right in the heart of Wellington, within walking distance of the centre.
The kitchen focuses on Indian food. Dishes typical of this style include chicken biryani and samosa, so it is a good pick if those are on your list. It is one of 35 Indian venues we list in Wellington.
Doors are open every day of the week. The earliest start is 11:15 am on Mondays, and the latest finish is 10:30 pm on Fridays. Night owls should note the late closing on Friday and Saturday. Like many traditional restaurants, it closes between lunch and dinner service on several days, so check the times before heading over mid-afternoon. In total it trades for about 50 hours each week.
For budgeting, Indian restaurants of this kind in New Zealand typically cost around $20–$40 per person (Moderate). It is surrounded by other eateries: we count 10 more venues within about 1 km, which makes this part of Te Aro easy to explore on foot.
