MAMA MASALA
INDIAN CUISINE · HCMC
Hot curry from 6:30 in the morning, every day
Mama Masala is a midrange Indian kitchen on Nguyen Cu Trinh street — charred tandoori chicken, thick red egg curry, turmeric-gold dal and stretchy cheese naan, served on plain wooden boards. No frills in the room; plenty on the plate.
The kitchen runs hot while the street still sleeps
Most Indian kitchens open at lunchtime. Mama Masala opens at 6:30 in the morning — for early risers, night-shift workers heading home, and anyone craving curry before noon.
