It’s been a long time since I last posted a blog. Not because I’ve got lazy! But because I’ve been travelling so much lately. I’ve been away for large parts of three of the last four weeks.

Mr. Masala is the name of the new low-key eatery in Budapest’s 3rd District which serves up hearty Indian food. It’s worthy of mention due to the quality/price ratio, which is very favourable for hungry diners. The ready-made lunch range is quite varied and great value, ordering from the extensive menu produces fast and satisfying results too. Anita Moorthy was very impressed, as she commented ...
