    One of the best restaurants I have been to in my entire life! The Afghan food they provide is more authentic and original than those in Afghanistan itself! Staff are super friendly and professional. I cannot think of a single area of improvement…everything is absolute perfection 😍

    Authentic Afghan cuisine. Lovely spacious place. Loads of barbecue options in addition to the traditional afghan cuisine. Qabuli pilau is the very famous and signature dish, a must try and also an acquired taste. Mango lassi and fresh orange juice available amongst many other choices. All cards accepted and AMEX too. Very friendly staff too.

    We came from Canada to visit our family and had a delightful dinner at Masa Restaurant! The food was tasty and authentic. The warm and inviting ambiance added to the overall experience, making it perfect for our large family gathering. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff ensuring our every need was met. Our visit over a week ago still has us reminiscing about the fantastic food, ambiance, and top-notch service. Highly recommend!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Afghan restaurant and was blown away by the delicious food and excellent service. The flavors in the dishes were so bold and aromatic, it was like a symphony of taste in my mouth. Each bite was a burst of flavor, and I couldn't get enough. The service was also top-notch. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure our every need was met. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and welcoming, and I left feeling completely satisfied. I have to say, no Afghan restaurant I've been to has matched the standard of this one. I highly recommend giving it a try if you have the chance. You won't be disappointed!

    Service is very poor, waitress tried to overcharged by £20. The utensils were not clean, the rice was such cheap quality and the curry tasted like microwave food. Even the state of the bathroom was off putting. For the low food quality, tiny portion size and bad service by staff, it was a huge disappointment. Definitely not worth how much they charge, even more so after their service charge. Do not recommend.

    Walking into Masa Restaurant in Harrow, we were greeted with warm smiles and welcoming hospitality from all the staff. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. The dining environment was comfortable and relaxed. The food was seriously AMAZING! 🤩 the portion sizes were generous. The venue was hygienic and clean. I came here with my sister and will definitely becoming again. Masa restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Harrow! Must try.

    The food was nothing short of amazing, with a delightful blend of flavors that left our taste buds dancing with joy. The warm and inviting atmosphere added to the overall charm of the place. It was the perfect setting to celebrate such a special occasion with my friends. I can't recommend this place enough for both its scrumptious food and wonderful ambiance. A true gem! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    If you are craving lamb chops and cubes, Masa is the place to go. I often go to Masa, some times with friends and sometimes with family. Food is amazing every time. My kids love their food as well. Zac the owner and his team is extremely welcoming and helpful and bring the most fresh food you can imagine. I have been going to this place since 2007 and never had any complain with either quality of food or customer services. Highly recommended!!

    Wow what a great find! Was craving Afghani food and looks like we picked the right place. Ordered a range of dishes from Masa and each one was better than the before!!! The meat was so tender and juicy, rice was perfect, mix grill flavour was amazing and the daal was one of the best I've had. Glad I found this spot. And thank you to Zek and the team for their generosity. Lovely lovely people and even better food!

    Shocking. No one welcomed us upon entry. So we made our way to a table after a minute and we were greeted with a goat sound as we sat down by a lady that works there. The food is clearly microwaved. Super super dry but for the oil. Prices are also extortionate for the rubbish they serve. "BBQ" grilled food was so dry as the meat is obviously dated. One of the chops was almost grey in colour after being cooked. We were offered a 20% of the rip off price. Other reviews must be fake. I thought twice about leaving this review but I feel it is necessary for people to avoid wasting their money on such poor quality and above all dreadful service by a woman who could barely communicate in the language of the land?!

    We recently catered a family event from Masa Harrow. Prior to ordering for the event we decided to try the food out from the restaurant following which we were happy to go ahead and cater our event. The food from the restaurant was delicious and incredibly moist and flavourful however the level of service we received for our catered event was above and beyond what was expected. The food was spectacular with every guest commenting on how delicious it was. The delivery was prompt and communication was excellent. Would highly recommend using Masa both restaurant and catering. The Mantu was amongst some of the best I have tasted. We also ordered the Kebab and the chicken bbq both of which I would highly recommend

    Had the best restaurant experience I've ever had here. Service is amazing, the food is authentic, and you can tell effort and a lot of thought has been put into the menu and the taste of the food. Great portions, worth every penny. Try the Spicy potatoes! Juicy tender meat, not too oily/greasy either. The rice tastes amazing, I would come just for the rice! Highly recommended restaurant (visited 16/07/21)

    Words can not do this place justice. It is a national institute for Afghan gastronomy. Being Afghan myself means this place was under close scrutiny. Service to food, nothing missed a beat. Amazing meats, rice, curries, salads, even the dipping sauces. Friendly staff, excellent food, great value, comfortable surroundings for all types of social gatherings. Highly recommended!!!

    Authentic Afghan cuisine, in addition to some regional Pakistani dishes. We have visited many times since they opened, as a couple and also with family. Service can be hit or miss, however the quality of the food never fails to disappoint.

    Get yourselves down here guys. This is an experience you don't want to miss. Beautiful building ,fantastic people taking care of us. Amazing food

  • 5/5 Certifeye 2 years ago on Google
    The best bourani and mantu around. Try it yourself. You won’t be disappointed!

  • 3/5 Hetal P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food if somewhat cafe style. The serving staff are about as subtle as a locomotive but I guess minimum wage dictates the quality. Foos served briskly. Its a no frills restaurant. All dishes perfectly edible. Experience was marred somewhat when 3 members of our party tried to pay by card and then were told its cash only! The staff clearly were overwhelmed and pointed said members in direction of a nearby cashpoint. All in all a cheap eating place. If its ambience you re after keep looking!

    First time visiting this restaurant. Food was amazing and really friendly and helpful staff...they do take away as well... Will definitely be ordering or visiting again soon.

  • 5/5 Anthony G. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food. Everything was full of flavour and freshly prepared. Good prices and portion sizes

  • 5/5 David H. 2 years ago on Google
    Quite possibly the best restaurant in Harrow. Lightly seasoned, succulent chicken cooked on a grill. The best mince lamb kebabs I've ever tasted, not to greasy or spicy and could clearly taste the flavour of the meat. Same ethos as the French restaurant on Harrow-on-the-Hill in terms of focus on the highest quality fresh ingredients but with more flavour and in a relaxed, chilled environment with high ceilings, furnished with carved hard wood tables and walls. Elegant but not ostentatious, relaxing and welcoming. Definitely coming back and bringing our friends with next time as well. Did I mention the large portions? The couples set menu is enough to feed four people and the Naan bread is amazing, freshly cooked to perfection.

    The food here was absolutely excellent..5* (tasty, good portions....) We were put on a table that respected social distancing,....they also have a separate adjoining function room which they use when there are no functions, so even more spaced out tables if that's your concern. What spoilt it for me for was a mistake on the bill (I know, it happens....but it shouldn't!) And the washroom really, really needs a refurb.... (I know, we were here for the food, but for me, it did spoil the experience of dining in)

    Masa had some great food, would definitely recommend it

  • 4/5 Mitra D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, worth driving 25 miles to get there! Lovely waitress. 😍 service could have been a lot better. It took her ages to clean the table . And we had to ask for teapot instead of flask! And we had a birthday cake but they did not bring plates and cutlery, we had to ask for it. We will go back if the service improves.

    Delicious Kabuli pillow rice with a few side dishes delivered quickly with a mango lassi. Filled the spot! Would have been five stars if they took card payment.

  • 5/5 Paul C. 1 year ago on Google
    I used to come here extremely regularly, but had not been for over 2 years due to moving over 60 miles away. However i was visiting the area and had to go with my wife for old times sake. It was a coin flip between going here or to the Hare pub in old reading. Masa won the vote and I'm glad it did! The food was just as good as it had always been, which is delicious. You can bring your own alcohol which saves a lot of money and the staff are very friendly. I really can't wait to go back again it was so good. Prices are reasonable as well. Would reccomend 100%!!!

  • 5/5 Rubab M. 11 months ago on Google
    Great service offered by staff and I love this food so much I have been coming here for years! The foods price is very reasonable and taste is immaculate. Definitely try it!!

  • 4/5 Riham Al S. 1 year ago on Google
    We attended a private party there.. the food was OK, the hall is not too bad. The meat was slightly over cooked .. but the rice, chicken, the spinach meal, the salad and the hummus, were all nice The hall wasn't clean, the floor specifically was very sticky and dirty. The lighting was poor and the wall weren't clean. If you are booking the party hall and wanting to stay late with music loud, I wouldn't advise you as the neighbours keeps asking to keep it down on a Saturday night!

  • 5/5 Tobias O. 11 months ago on Google
    The food is some of the most delicious you will ever have. Me and my friend shared the mixed grill and the amount of food was enormous. So much we had to take some home. I tried and loved all of the dishes. The staff are really kind, friendly and were always there if we need anything. Eating at masa restaurant was a really nice dinning experience. Would definitely recommend. I'm going again as soon as possible.

  • 5/5 Mebs J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great, fresh tasting food and wonderful service. This was my second visit and it didn't disappoint. We ordered a mixture of dishes such as the mixed grill, Kabuli Pilau and Mantoo. All tasted amazing, if I was pushed to highlight my personal favourite it would be the Kabuli Pilau.. the flavour of the rice and the lamb was amazing. The staff that served us were patient and helpful and the food was served promptly. Can't wait to go back again..
