The average waitlist is 600 people, a rep for the restaurant told The Post.
At 4:45 p.m. Thursday, Carlos Sevilla and his date, Kriti Shrestha, finally secured a table for two at Masalawala & Sons. It was no easy feat. They’d been trying to snag one since September, when the Indian restaurant — with its Bengali dinner party atmosphere — first opened in a former Park Slope bakery and promptly became one of the city’s hottest restaurants.
. But good luck scoring one at the 36-seat restaurant: the average waitlist is 600 people, a rep for the restaurant told The Post.Daniel William McKnight for NY P Masalawala & Sons currently has a 600 person waitlist, a rep for the restaurant told The Post. The restaurant has 36 seats, and four barstools are open to walk-ins, who typically have to arrive by 4:50, before the restaurant opens at 5 p.m. to snag a seat.Sevilla’s hunt for a table became a team effort; Shrestha, 31, who lives in Midtown, was now also trying, but she could only find a table open on Thanksgiving, when both already had plans.
The menu at Masalawala & Sons comprises standouts such as the kosha mangsho, a braised lamb dish ; daab chingri, prawns cooked inside of a coconut ; and the Ripon Street majja bone marrow topped with shaved eggs.Getting a table for four on Thursday represented a major victory for Park Slope anesthesiologist Erika Pence, who confessed to having been on the case since October.
