    One of the best restaurants in kisumu for us. The service was top notch. Extremely polite and friendly. The food tasted wonderful. It was also very quickly prepared and we were able to observe the busy kitchen. Amazing value for price. Always again. Please note: open from 11-3pm and then 6:30-11

    By far one of my favourite Indian Cuisine Restaurant. We chanced on this spot via google and with a rating of 4.5. Food didn't disappoint. Located at the Mega Mall Kisumu, we went for dinner at 9pm and we were still served hot freshly made dishes. We found it full and still more patrons coming in. Wycliffe was our server, great at food knowledge and recommended different items and starters as well. Their chicken lollipops is a must have. Anything mutton, chicken will be a hit and their buttered naans are a delight. My brother had his tea and it was mesmerizing. Our Lime Lemonade with Kisumu heat was a welcome delight. Security is topnotch and there are other clubs within the mall to sample after doing dinner. Will be back to Garam Masala for sure.

    Their food is just amazing, all up to par with service and ambience a 10/10. The quantity though is very less for the over priced food items. The way they serve the food, including the cutlery is very special. They must work on the quantity though.

    I rarely give a five star review but after my visit to Garam Masala I think it's absolutely the best restaurant in Kisumu bar none. Great service, lovely ambiance and great service. The Indian cuisine is absolutely delicious and so well done. The portions are not large however, you get so full I didn't finish my food. It was some type of buttered vegetable mix with pita. I had to take the rest home. You also get some crunchy starters and dips for FREE! I have never seen that in any restaurant in this country. If you love Indian food you have to pay this location a visit.
