Masala Library offers innovtive fusion cuisine. The service is courteous. There are some very interesting starters both veg and non veg. The mains menu is limited, which is good. The service was very prompt. Dishes were very tasty. What I particularly liked was the khichdi kadhi risotto. The Laal Maas was authentic though the meat didn't fall off the bone. A bit tough. I liked the paan flavoured candy floss.

Did not attempt the tasting menu because it would have been too much for me. However, am told it is good.

The decor is not particularly impressive and the a/c should be much cooler. Approach to the toilets is shabby and they should clean the toilets every half an hour. After all, this is a flagship restaurant.

Overall, though quite pricey, the experience was entirely satisfactory.

I wonder why no Indian restaurant has been awarded a Michelin star rating. Rather surprising, given that we have some outstanding eating places in our country.

Masala Library has always been one of our favourite restaurants. This place has it’s own charm & specialised in it’s modern street food & molecular gastronomy concept.

The uniqueness of this place has got the restaurant as one of the ‘must visit’ restaurants when you are in Mumbai.

Tried the set menu for Lunch. It’s priced at ₹2500* but definitely a treat to experience.

From the soups to the starters to the main courses and deserts & the overall presentation & experience. Everything is definitely worth the money.
Don’t miss out on the Jalebi Caviar & Mango halwa with chikkis in the desserts.

Overall this place is perfect if you wanna treat someone special & give them an extraordinary food & dining experience.

Not too bad food with a bit of over pretentious-ness. No problem in going there again for a quick bite. The palate cleansers sometime miss the mark.

After trying to book them n number of times finally cud reserve a table for our anniversary dinner. The first thing you c is empty tables so I wonder what keeps you from giving reservations. Terrible food in the name of fusion. Ambience also dosent make up for the bakwas food they serve. The only gud thing is that it dosent pinch much coz u havent paid a bomb for it. Very very poor selection of menu in the name of fusion which mainly is more like fasting food with rajgira in almost everything.

If you like fusion food, you will enjoy Jiggs Kalra's Masala Library food. Nicely located in BKC Mumbai. Vale parking ensures personal quality time. Cooperative staff ensures you are welcome in the property. If you indicate special occasion, you get premium seating table too. Staff explains food items quite well so you order to your taste.
