Masalaz is another hidden gem. Hidden behind a McDonald's, I'm not sure how you would even spot it…read moreif you don't know about it. I've been meaning to check out Masalaz when I was in the mini strip mall a few months ago. One of my co-workers, who is Indian, highly recommended it so that really pushed me to go. They specialize in South Indian cuisine, specifically dosas. We came on Saturday for an early dinner but pretty much had the place to ourselves. The staff here are super friendly and we chatted with one of the son's who was keen to converse with us. Very genuine guy. They offer buffets for a really reasonable price. It's $13.99 on weekdays and $15.99 on weekends. That is cheaaaaaaaaap! - Mango lassi ($3.49) - we decided to get one to share but L ended up wanting to get her own after she had a sip. She's never had one before! Missing out on the good things in life. The mango lassi was light, creamy and just sweet enough. - Papadum - not sure if the papadum came with one of our dishes but I think it was complimentary. Whetted our appetite while we waited for the main event. - Mysore masala dosa ($9.99) -this dosa came out differently than I'm normally used to but dammmmmmmmmmn, the filling was absolutely delicious. The potato inside had the perfect amount of heat and the spice mixture made you want to immediately eat another bite. - Vegetable biryani ($9.99) - the biryani was a solid choice; just look at those fried garlic bits. Harmoniously well balanced and flavourful. - Uthappam ($10.49) - Indian pizza made with rice and lentil flour. I've only had uthappam one other time in Calgary (see Raj Palace). This one was much different but just as good. Light, fluffy and a touch of sweetness from coconut flakes. - Vegetable masala curry ($8.49) - rich, creamy masala curry but not too heavy. Good variety of vegetables. I like how it's completely different than what you're normally used to with northern Indian food. - 3x Roti ($1.99 each) - three roti's were waaaaay too much for the three of us but we powered through all of them. Not a single piece of roti was left unscathed. - Gulab jamun ($2.99) - milk balls soaked in sweet syrup. Not too sweet; two to share was the perfect way to end our meal. I really appreciated how hot and fresh these were. There's an abundance of Indian places south side but this one is worth checking out. Next visit, we'll come back to try out the buffet. And I don't even like buffets!

On the bright side, service was quick and it was quiet. The tandoori shrimp had great flavor and a nice char. Butter chicken momos were rich and satisfying, and the veggie Hakka was solid--light and flavorful. The tandoor chicken momos, though, were way too spicy for me--heat kind of overwhelmed everything else. I also wish I'd gone with steamed momos instead of fried--might've enjoyed the texture more. The masala chai at the end hit the spot--spiced well and not too sweet. Overall, it's not a must-visit, but definitely worth checking out if you're curious about Indian fusion. Mention this review for extra smiles.

Their Butter chicken is decent and the flavour is stronger than other places. The naan is decent as well. What stands out the most are the coconut naan and lamb rogan josh - The coconut naan is always rich with coconut and the lamb rogan josh has good flavour, good cuts of meat and overall good ratio/balance. The only potential improvement is to have the pieces of meat to be more consistently sized...so I'd give them 9/10

In spite of my Indian fondness for butter chicken, saffron rice, every kind of curry EVER and of course, naan bread. There is a special place in my heart (and in my belly) for naan bread. So why don't I eat it more? Don't look at me. My darling husband wouldn't put it very high up on his list of favourite cuisines...so I either go at it alone or don't eat it at all. And I have this weird thing about eating at restaurants alone, so...I don't eat it at all, for the most part. That was a very long introduction to explain why I'm so thrilled about New Asian Village Express at Southgate Mall. There's no shame in eating at a food court by yourself, so I'm totally fine with dining here. The combo includes one of two kinds of rice (steamed or saffron), one of six curries (including my fav, butter chicken), potatoes (they're amazing), plus one of two salads (I go with caesar, a weird choice, but it's delicious). I haven't tried the samosas, but they're next on my hit list. I always order garlic naan bread with my meal, too. Last time, it came out a little crispy, but it was still full of the most perfect and delicious salty, garlicy, bready flavours. Perfect for scooping up that leftover curry! For $10-12 you'll go from very hungry to very full. Lots of hot, fresh food from a local joint for a great price!
