Mama Masala
An Indian and Italian restaurant on Queens Quay with river views over the Foyle, where you can order curry and pizza at the same table, ideal for groups with mixed tastes.
Mama Masala is at 24A Queens Quay, with views of the River Foyle from the window and Bollywood-style gold décor inside. The menu is split evenly between Indian and Italian dishes, cooked by Indian and Italian chefs respectively. Diners generally recommend the Indian dishes, such as butter chicken, tandoori monkfish served on a sizzling plate, and breads such as cheese naan and minced meat naan. The Italian section includes pizza and pasta. Prices are good value, the early-bird set menu is a bargain, and it suits families and groups with different tastes. Some diners feel that serving two menus lowers the overall standard. It is an eight-minute walk along the river from the Guildhall.
