At this point, Unapologetic Foods, the team behind Dhamaka, Semma, and Adda, knows their brand. They serve hyper-specific regional Indian food that you can’t help but describe in great detail to everyone you know for months after you eat it. The bar is set (very) high, and their latest spot, Masalawala & Sons, unsurprisingly meets it. This time, they reimagine some of their childhood staples from Kolkata and the surrounding region of West Bengal, and, with a little more breathing room in Brooklyn, the space is also fun to eat in. Of all of their outstanding restaurants serving food reminiscent of Indian homestyle cooking, this is the only one where you actually feel like you’re eating in someone’s home. It’s like you’ve been invited to a special family function where you’ll sit under a wedding party’s worth of gajras next to a mural featuring the man who inspired much of the food on the menu (the owner's father). In the back, more rainbow-bright murals surround an outdoor patio, where the people next to you won’t mind if you join the audience watching a waiter shave fresh coconut meat into the shrimp curry at their table. Masalawala's inventive, mostly Kolkata-inspired dishes deserve a mural of their own. Focus on the first two sections of the menu packed with small and midsize plates that all seem to be competing for best in show. When it comes to Bengali food, fish is king, and the spicy biyebarir fish fry, incredibly airy steamed bhetki, and small bowls of smoky macher dim are all really special. If you want to venture out of the sea, order the keema kaleji. The cardamom-spiced goat and lamb becomes three times silkier after a fresh egg is mixed in tableside. You’re going to have a memorable experience at every Unapologetic Foods restaurant. But of all of their spots, this one feels the most mellow, like the kind of place where you could pop in once a week and ask a the server how their dog is doing. Masalawala & Sons not only serves spectacular food. It's also a great hang.
