Indian Masala Gent — Restaurant in Ghent

The taste of the food was excellent (Lamb Chili, Lamb Madras, Chicken Tikka Masala). The best curry I've had in a long time and better than anything I've had in Germany or in The Netherlands.

However, It was clear that they were very busy. It was a Sunday at 8pm (with reservation). Also during a very hot time in the summer and the place is not all that well ventilated.. Sitting at a table next to the kitchen area. Not super comfortable. We had to wait a long time to get our drinks and didn't get any food until about 9pm.

The dal I ordered was half cooked. The dal seeds or whatever it is called as hard. I asked them to cook it again they bluntly refused.

I visited one hour before their closing time but the moment I stepped in I wasn’t welcomed well the waiter was like order soon we are closing. It was like they just wanted me to get out and I couldn’t even enjoy the food as I was told I need to be out by 10. Really pathetic food and service. May be this happened because I went...
