A longtime Indian restaurant in the western suburbs will be saying farewell to its space.
According to several sources, including a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Masala Art in Needham is going to be closing, with a Needham Observer article saying that the Newton-based Village Bank will be taking over its lease and opening a branch of its bank while also including a pop-up retail shop. The exact closing date for the restaurant has not been given as of yet, and it is not known whether it could be reopening elsewhere; as soon as we find out more, we will post an update here.
Masala Art first opened in 2003, being an upscale dining spot that is known in part for its lunchtime buffet.
The address for Masala Art is 990 Great Plain Avenue, Needham, MA, 02492. Its website can be found at https://masala-art.com/
