In my recent official visit to Mumbai I went to this place along with office colleague. Food was really good, ambience and service was Absolutely outstanding dining experience at Masala Library by Jiggs Kalra! Every dish was a masterpiece of flavors and presentation. Jalebi cavieur...is a must. The attention to detail in both the cuisine and service was remarkable. From the moment we walked in, Mr.Anil and Balwant staff made us special We feel like they are not server, Warm Friendly, well knowledgeable, great hospitality. The modern twist on traditional Indian dishes was a true delight to the taste buds. The ambience was elegant and comfortable, making it a perfect place for special occasions. The culinary journey took us through a symphony of spices and textures that left us speechless. A true gem for anyone seeking a memorable gastronomic adventure. Will definitely be returning for more culinary enchantment! Ones again Thanks to Anil and Balwant they make me special memories for Masala Library !!!More

Great place. Unique take on Indian and Regional food. Combined with service and ambiance, it makes for a memorable time.

Seriously very bad food they have rated the restaurant very high which is definitely not good. I and my son vomited after we were back home the rabdi was spoilt, the cherries were spoilt. If this is a chefs food then i would prefer my...mums food. There has to be a check on quality or their licence cancelled.More

Had been to Masala Library a couple of times, and had also written a glowing review earlier. It had been so far a place with unique flavours & some unusual food items. However my visit of 24th June, 2023 with my family was ruined due...to an absolutely terrible main course. The mutton awadhi which we ordered came with 4 large pieces of bone floating in a gravy, with bare minimum meat attached. The meat ( what little there was of it) was badly cooked and very tough & had a stalish smell. I complained about it to the waiter, who brought in his senior, who apologized. I said this was not acceptable & I would write this in my review. They again apologized & also did not charge for it in the bill, perhaps in the hope that I would not mention this in my review. But I feel the management should be aware of the quality of food being served & hence feel it important to tell. The starters were also average, far from previous standards. I think overall the standard of the restaurant has fallen quite a bit. From rating of 10/10 I would now put it at 4/10.More

Had a very nice dinner here with a group from work. Great menu, service and food. All kinds of dishes served. Very unique Indian flavours with a modern touch. Only comment is that it is a long dinner.

Disappointing experience. Overpriced and mediocre in every way. Don't trust the website pictures, it is nothing of the sorts, check out pictures of anyone recently posting. Will cost you no less than rs2000 per person and you will wonder where did all that chef research...and xp go to or whether those oversells from critics have are paid or the restau was probably worth a visit but in a different era.More

A wonderful place to enjoy a well planned and plated obviously well curated and and balanced. Service and atmosphere of the restaurant was really good. it is like just Indian dishes Excellent food, excellent service, extra ordinary home style atmosphere, Value of money.

Good Service. Not worth your time, appettite, money. Jigg Kalra brand is deteriorated and lost its charm.

We visited the BKC outlet of Masala Library on 23rd Jan, 2023 for a family dinner. Location: BKC, Mumbai Occasion: To celebrate our 20th marriage anniversary Ambience: Elegant 3/5 Experience: Not a happy one, for sure! 3/5 Food: With all due respect to the chef,...the non-veg tasting menu was a big disappointment. It was not worth the money at all. While the presentation of the bite sized menu was not truly a feast for the eye. However, once you the taste was not on par with the average restaurants in Mumbai. From dahi panna cotta, raspberry chutney, surrounded by a garland of besan boondi, hibiscus, rose and lemongrass water in place of usual khatta-meetha (sweet and soour) pani of panipuri, cornetto bhutta (maize), methi tart served with teardrop pea to some interesting looking desserts like mishti doi (sweet curd) sorbet and Jalebi caviar served with pistachio rabri, the Chef's tasting menu certainly added a new dimension to fusion food. Yet, it failed to satisfy our taste buds. What was even more disappointing is that the restaurant didn't even give us a wedding anniversary surprise which is usually offered by other renowned restaurants in the city in the form of a complimentary dish. But, of course, I am not sad as I didn't want to ruin my taste buds once again. Service: Extremely slow even though the restaurant was not short-staffed. I wish the servers could smile a bit!! Must be tough to narrate the details of each dish to so many customers daily. My heart goes out to them! Overall experience: More or less disappointing! Could have been better! Food quality: Rating would be 2.5/ 5 Not expected from a Michelin star chef!More

I visited the Masala Library, the first evening after the restaurant was refurbished. Shame they didn't renovate the staff as the service was bloody awful! The menu was quite limited and the taste of the food I ordered was quite unmemorable. The restaurant appears to...be 'up itself'.More

We have been to this place before and was one of our favorites in Mumbai. The quality (of everything) has deteriorated significantly over the past couple of years. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone! Food was totally uninspired. Felt like we were dining at...a local Indian restaurant vs a high end place like it advertises itself at. In particular there was a dish called Aloo dum on the menu - being a Bengali I was looking forward to it - it came with a bunch of boiled Aloo in the middle with a coconut gravy around it!! When I asked how it’s a Aloo dum, the waiter “mansplained” to me that it was a Bengali Aloo dum and this is how it is!!! Ambience was again just like a local restaurant. There were pots and pans and bags of the staff in full view of where we were sitting Didn’t feel like the place had good hygiene. We found bug in our glass when water was being poured. The plate that was given to me wasn’t fully clean and had black small particles on it. They changed both once asked. Half of our party of 9 had some stomach issue post the dinner. Also an allergy was triggered for one of the party even though we had highlighted her allergy before ordering the food. Lastly the service was terrible. We ordered a cocktail without ice - it came with ice - when asked to change they took it back, drained out the ice and gave it back to us instead of making the drink again. (We know because we asked the server was the drink made again and he said no, the ice was drained!!). We asked for tomato soup without the salsa (since the salsa had pesto and the person having it had nut allergy). They forgot to do that and brought it as is. We asked if a replacement in the bread basket was possible (butter naan with garlic naan) - they said yes - and then brought out the standard basket without replacement. Mumbai has a ton of new restaurants and they are amazing! Save your self the disappointment of eating here!More

Worst experience ever....the current team of Masala Library BKC are terribly mis managed that we have experience since they launched so many years ago...as we have been regular guest at this very well known resturant...we were a group of 18 and had confirmed the booking...and the table...the food taste, the service and the staff were from a different world...the waiters service was the worst....seemed as if he was not interested in the client and more he wanted to just finish his job and leave....the order was terribly mismanaged.... - no mouth cleanser that's misti dahi were served after serving one piece to my son...where they lied and mentioned it's out of stock - paan cotton candy was not served again out of stock - diet coke ordered delivered at the table after 30 minutes that too after reminding the waiter twice. - sweet lime order delivered after reminding the waiter 3 times - airconditioner they said out of order inspite of mentioning while booking to give us a table on the side where the ac was functional - food was tasteless cold as ice and the breads were no fully cooked inspite of telling him while ordering make sure it's fresh. - 3 portions of each starter ordered which we got 1 portion every 10 minutes - sat on the table for 15 minutes we actually had to beg for water 5 items - food arrives but no plates or cutlery - couple of food was just left on the table without serving the guest - Called the manager and requested him issue and he said don't worry and did nothing We had spoken so highly about this restaurant to our guest to get this kind of a disastrous experience. I dont think this place should be called fine dining experience with all the above issues.The worst experience ever till date we have had with masala library. I would strongly request the higher management to look into this and arrange a full refund for the time and money we wasted at your restaurant leaving a very sour taste in our hearts. I have attached the copy of our bill along with this review. I hope the top management will get back to us with a positive solution for this at the earliest. Viral ShahMore
