The concept behind Mission Masala blends casual dining with a hint of street-food energy.

The place works well for an evening out with friends, a date night, or a relaxed dinner where the focus stays on great food and good company. With reasonably priced options and a cosy, urban setting, it’s often recommended as one of the city’s go-to spots for Indian soul food with personality.

Em’s star rating

Mission Masala is one of those places where every dish feels bold and full of character. The Mission Fried Chicken is an absolute standout, crispy, spicy and seriously addictive. The Boom Ting Butter Chicken with rice and paratha is pure comfort food done right. Oh My Gobi brings just the right crunch and spice, and the Moilee gambas add a fragrant, coconut-forward freshness to the table. One of my all-time favourite restaurants in Antwerp.

Fun fact

It started life not as a sit-down restaurant but as a food truck serving Indian street food around Flanders, and it has grown into a full-fledged eatery in Antwerp while keeping that playful, vibrant street-food energy on the menu and in the décor.
