History
The restaurant is a revival of Masalawala, which Roni Mazumdar opened with his father, Satyen, on the Lower East Side in 2011; that location closed in 2021. The Park Slope iteration opened on September 22, 2022, with Mazumdar and chef Chintan Pandya as partners through Unapologetic Foods.[1][6] According to Roni Mazumdar, "[Masalawala & Sons] is the restaurant I wanted to open 10 years ago, but couldn’t."[4] Satyen Mazumdar's portrait appears on the Masalawala & Sons awning.[4]
