Decatur: Masala

I've been to Masala (formerly Mirch Masala) a few times. Tonight was my first visit in awhile. I found that things haven't changed. They do have a menu but most people eat from the buffet. They serve meat as well as vegetarian entrees.

Overall, the food is a mixed bag. The naan are fresh, flavorful, and plentiful. They have a good rendition of the lime picke, a condiment I have come to love for its combination of salt, sour, and heat. The aloo palak (spinach) was rich and pretty tasty. But the mutter paneer was a little overdone, the rice pudding was very thin, and they didn't have any onion chutney. It's certainly passable, but you and they can both do better, I think.
