The co-founders of Long Branch’s newest restaurant, Masala Blvd., are former Humber College business students who met in classes.
“We were always looking for good Indian food,” recalls Yashan Jandal, one of three partners who own the spicy eatery. “We used to drive by here on our way to Mississauga and Brampton to get good Indian food.”
Yashan, with partners Ragat Agarwal and Sahil Aggarwal, agreed to fulfill a need by bringing good Indian street food to their bright restaurant at 3260 Lake Shore Blvd. W., a former fish and chips store.
MASALA’s co-founders were former Humber College students, many who love the food at the eatery.
“All the dishes are homemade and everything is under $10,” Agarwal said. “Students can have quick healthy food at affordable prices.”
Masala Blvd. has been open for several months and the word is spreading fast. There were many Humber students eating in, or ordering little brown boxes of tasty Indian street snacks.
There are two small tables outside that were busy from students having a bite in between classes, as Humber College is across the street.
“A lot of the Humber College students like our food and come here for lunch,” he said.
One student enjoying a meal said she’s hooked on the food and has been returning every day.
“I can’t get enough of this,” she said. “I try something different all the time and it is all good.”
Mohit and Mohamed said they drove to Long Branch from Mississauga to try out Masala Blvd. since they had been reading great reviews and following the eatery online.
“The food was great and well worth the drive from Mississauga and the price of gas,” said Mohit after devouring a snack box. “We will be coming back for more.”
Mohamed said eatery has better food than the ones in Mississauga.
“These people concentrate on the flavour of Indian street food,” he said.
The street food includes items as samosa chana, Papari Chaat, Mumbai Bhel; made from puffed rice and masala peanuts; Bombay Club Sandwich, Paneer Szechuan Sandwich; stuffed with cheese: butter chicken momos; in a creamy butter chicken sauce and many other filling dishes.
