massey's fine indian cuisine

onion bagies were overcooked and burnt. more like dried onions!! main course tasted as though it was left over from the lunch buffet and hence probable reason when asking if they could cook achickenkorma rather than vegetable korma was told they couldn't change anything on the menu. vegetables in the korma consisted of peas and what tasted like frozen carrots with one small piece of cauliflower. not much in the way ofchickendishes with lamb and beef being pushed by the staff. servers were rude and were almost telling you what to order and insinuating that we couldn't know anything about indian food. before finishing the servers were clearing plates away with nan bread still to finish without asking. the only compliment was that the nan bread was good. staff were overly pretentious. have been eating and preparing indian food for over 40 years in various parts of the world and regretfully this restaurant did not meet the standard of food from the many indian street vendors.

just returned from the buffet meal here and both my wife and i were impressed. when we first arrived just before noon the place was relatively empty and our waitress seemed to feel the need to apologize and assured us it gets busier.
the buffet was not mandarin like in offerings but with enough significant indian flavoured offerings to make it sufficient. all meals were good and the tandoorichickenand butterchickenwere among the best we have had. mushroom matar and beef curry were also pretty good. nothing spectacular if you have room for dessert but fresh ice cream was appreciated.
this was a bright clean place, with very pleasant staff and the price is right- $15.00 before taxes and tip. good place to sample many dishes without burning a hole in your wallet.

went to massey's for the first time. my wife and i wanted to try an indian cuisine for once. we passed by it on king st. and thought it looked nice. we walked in and were greeted with a friendly smile and seated within seconds. the place has some characteristic feel to it. it would be a great romantic date spot as it is dark, but lit in all the right spots. now down to the food. it started with two complimentary jalapeño tortilla chips that looked like small birthday hats. from there we ordered chotte nawab, which is lightly breadedchickenthat comes with two sauces to dip. we also ordered cheese naan. the naan was good, but the chotte nawab was even better! my wife then had the tandoori mix platter and i had the tandoori murg. she gave me some small pieces to try and they were delicious! we were feeing pretty full but decided to give the mango kulfi a try since it was on the lighter side. it was worth every penny and i will be back! the service was good and checked in about 5-6 times our whole meal to either fill our glasses or ask how everything was. my only draw back would be finding parking since its downtown on king/richmond.

went with the wife and another couple for the lunch buffet today.  $15/person + tax,tip

it was a good experience, nice staff and a nice place.  if you have not experienced the flavours that indian cuisine has to offer this buffet is a good chance to try everything

the food was ok, having butterchickenand a curry beef some pieces of meat were tough and other's has some fat on it.  some delicious naan was delivered to the table with the buffet.

beautiful food. we visited massey's again tonight. the lamb korma, palek paneer and marsalachickenwas unreal-the naan is perfect with 3 glasses of wine the meal came to less than 70$. this is the best indian in london-such a hidden gem. if you haven't yet been to massey's on king you need to. it's hard because one of the best restaurants in the city is right next door...

really good!. we have been to massey's three times now. if you want really tasty great indian food order the following:
onion bhaji,
lamb korma,
palak paneer-this is unreal...i could eat a bucket of this!
and of course lot's of naan.
humble service, and not pretense-exactly what i want from a good indian restaurant.

lunch buffet. went to massey's for the first time today and loved it. we just moved to tillsonburg from up north. the naan is the best we've ever tasted and the tandoorichickenis very good too. we will definitely go back to massey's again.

fine cuisine indeed. this was our first visit to massey's and it will not be our last. the menu is typically northern indian, with tandoorichickenserved sizzling at the table. we also tried palak paneer which was velvety smooth, together with lamb korma and achari gosht (lamb).
our server was smoothly efficient and friendly. the restaurant might be easily missed on king street but it is well worth a visit. it is clean and tables are nicely spaced so that you do not feel crowded. the food arrived at a respectable pace. we were not rushed or pestered with constant "how are you making out?".
we will definitely be back.

poor services and rude waiters. average food...only reason people go there is since other restaurants around are also bad.chickentandoori was average. rice was not not fully cooked. potato, carrot side dish was bad. pickle and readymade samosas were ok. we dont need to go to a restaurant for this.
attitude of waitress needs special mention...they will switch off lights and ask you to go out if they want to close the restaurant..on entering inside the restaurant the waitress confirmed buffet to be available until 2:30pm. by 2:15 to 2:20 they closed the buffet and whlie we were having desserts, she forced us to pay the bill. in a few minutes we realised that the reason was for her to ask us to leave. their buffet close time is the restaurant close time which you will only know when they start switching off the lights and stand behind us when it is 2:30
