Gastronomic Treasures At Masabaa...

Masabaa - The Treasury is one of the culinary gems located on the dynamic Club Road in Punjabi Bagh. Masabaa, as a brand is spread across two floors - The Treasury and Lounge & Bar, along with a picturesque rooftop, that is now restricted operation.

Masabaa - The Treasury is such a restaurant which reflects opulence in fine dining thanks to its plush interiors, well-lit premises, delectable dishes, and attentive service, all of which form for a memorable dining experience.

While the Lounge & Bar give a casual dining experience with a relaxed vibe and a dimly-lit premises, The Treasury is a complete opposite and promises elegant culinary art.

The premises is done up in gold, beige and copper hues and features a glass ceiling throughout. Magnificent chandeliers and graceful lamps add to the grandeur.

Apart from a plush and spacious setting, there is also the provision for a private dining area at The Treasury which can cater to twenty patrons at once and is demarcated from the conventional dining area by the means of a copper statuette at the entrance, towards its left and right respectively. 

Masabaa - The Treasury has a considerable variety up their sleeve, thanks to them being a Multi-Cuisine setup and patrons are bound to be spoiled for choice. With one of their initial Menus being designed by Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi in the past, nothing short of culinary excellence could be expected.
