Masale Twist
With a unique twist on Indian cuisine, Masale Twist’s menu is heavily inspired by Mangalore’s cuisine. Mangalore was Fay D’Cruz’s birthplace. Hence Masale Twist’s Malaysian founder’s family has a special connection to the diner.
Masale Twist, an Indian restaurant in Damansara Uptown, is unlike any Indian eatery. You don’t see an open bar at Indian restaurants in the Klang Valley. Thus this is a first for us here. With a wide range of cuisines, from Mangalorean to Western fusion, the restaurant is well renowned for its Ghee-cooked offerings.
