Masalaz Restaurant: food that feels like home for every malayalee

We walk into Masalaz Restaurant on a chill Tuesday evening, a very simple setting, Wilson Mattamana welcomesus in with an effusive smile. While there’s not too many folks sitting down for supper, a few orders getting packed as people rush in to pick up, pay and leave.
Irresistible aromas of South Indian curries assault our noses and as our mouths begin to water, we’re served Duck Roast and Palappam with care and nostalgic stories of life in India. We settle into the calm feeling of home. Then Masala Dosa with sambhar and chutneys. Later we progressed to Paratha and Beef Ularthu. Lip Smacking, Kappa and Meen Curry followed by Fried Fish reminiscent of the Karimeen from the Kochi coastline. We had some rice with Kadai Paneer, Chilli Gobi, and though yummy the mix veg mezhukuperatti was a little too mixed and then Mutton Biriyani with papadum. Totally sated and pleased by a delicious evening, we closed with some delicious Kerala Kappi: Coffee that reminded me of the Indian Coffee House, I was a regular visitor to when I worked in SEEPZ, Mumbai. Yash Pal Sharma echoed my sentiments remembering the coffee at ICH, Chandigarh.
Wilson and Mary started Masalaz a long time ago and sated the appetites of Indians travelling from far and wideto Edmontonseeking South Indian food. Whether it’s biriyani or paruppuwadas, it’s a big order spot for most Malayalees in town: be it a small get together or a Christmas party. The Chicken Roast is my favourite. Do try, if you feel like some authentic South Indian home food; unmissable.
