Park Slope Indian Eatery Named One Of Brooklyn's Best New Restaurants

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — An Indian eatery in Park Slope earned a tasty honor: it's one of Brooklyn's most exciting restaurants, according to Eater.

Masalawala & Sons made Eater's list of "The 15 Hottest New Restaurants In Brooklyn" for March.

The eatery on Fifth Avenue near Fifth Street is "another hit" for a team behind the city's only Michelin-starred Indian restaurant, the Eater list states.

"Masalawala & Sons is the second coming for a restaurant the team used to run on the Lower East Side under a similar name, but the menu’s been revamped with dishes that aim to bridge the gap between what’s eaten in Indian homes and what’s served in Indian restaurants," the Eater listing gushes.

The restaurant is an "ode" to restaurateur Roni Mazumdar's father, a 75-year-old immigrant man from Kolkata, according to Masalawala & Sons' website.

Together with chef Chintan Pandya, the eatery aims to recreate foods with "utmost integrity, intricate age-old techniques, authentic cookware and family recipes," the website states.

"Those fleeting moments from the homes in Kolkata to the homes he visited are being restored at a festive space in the heart of Park Slope, Brooklyn," the website states.

Eater offered its reader-eaters some recommendations.

"Keep an eye out for macher dim (a sac of fish roe that’s poached in curry) and daab chingri (tiger prawns served in a young coconut shell)," the Eater listing states.
