Pakistani fusion: a little confusing? Think Indian, but further northwest. There you go. Now, go try Masala Grill and Teahouse. We went last night… heck, we’ve been meaning to go for a while but every time we’d tried to get our act together and head that way something would happen. This time, we were in luck… and not just with our timing. First things first, chai. Our waiter took our order as we strapped Hunter into a highchair and grabbed a menu. What was delivered a few minutes later wasn’t the traditional masala chai offered on the menu but Karachi Chai. Our waiter let us know the staff had brewed some up in the back, and he’d bring us Masala Chai on the refill. I was really pleased by this happy mistake. The Karachi Chai is a more mature flavor, with savory and friendly notes that exude comfort. Teas are a focus at the place, and they run $2.50 (except black tea, which is $1.50). And yes, milk is an option in your tea. Yay! I could brag on tea all day, but you want to know about the food. And what I think you’ll find is that the menu’s really reasonably priced, especially for a high-class ethnic fusion restaurant like this.
Whole lotta spice
