The Massala has been a favourite among people in Middlesbrough for decades.

It says on its website: “We offer a world of flavours and spices, which all comes together to create a dining experience that will transport you to another world. Our chef prepares all of our authentic dishes completely fresh”

You’ll find all of your south-Asian favourites at the Massala – including balti, biryani, and tandoori dishes. Simple curries, rice and naan dishes make it easy to order – while set meals are available to take away.

Chef’s specials include a Bengali sizzler and Ocean’s Delight – a mixed seafood platter cooked with fresh herbs and garlic.

You can read the full menu on its website, here.
