Poor service . Waited over 30 minutes to get our drinks and when it did arrive they were warm. Food tasty but waited over an hour to receive our order. Very slow and food very spicy even for a mild curry we were sweating

A terrific venue, with highly unusual modern Indian decor, very atmospheric and cosy. The food was also fantastic, my favourite was the deconstructed samosa. Service was very friendly and attentive.

The restaurant didn’t tell us that they close the kitchen at 2:45 ams close at 3pm and we booked a table for 9 people at 2:30. This is unacceptable for a big group!!

Loved the lace and the people, wonderfully amusing murals. But. The food was sort of OK. One very good dish, the beetroot egg hopper, the rice as excellent the rest , the worst thing that could be said about restaurant food, mediocre. The fish in the fish string hooper wss very ordinary. Bad produce. Maybe we chose badly. But I think with a little care, and attention to detail they could pull it off and make MT taste as good as it looks.

Great food - fish curry and goat curry standouts. Seating can be touch and go - there is a long corridor that leads to the kitchen and bathrooms that is not the best place to sit. Ask for a table in the front of the restaurant when you book. Its also no longer BYO since last week. We brought wine and could not drink it.

Masala theory is a fantastic option for groups. The banquet gives you unlimited curry - yes that's right unlimited curry! The service is great and the ambiance is really cool. I am gluten and dairy free and they catered for me with my own options. Highly recommend!

Cool place and really pleasant service. Nice contrast between the stylish interior and the unpretentious almost humble staff. Quite unique in Surry Hills. Food was very tasty and refreshingly different without being surprising. We had the $65 banquet which was maybe $10 too exy for what it was.

Great venue, excellent food! Only drawback was being asked by the waiter to leave a tip for staff before we even had a chance to.
