Masala by Socials

Masala by Socials sits directly opposite Hilton Ras Al Khaimah Beach Resort, a restobar format that pairs a modern Indian carte with a proper bar-and-shisha programme. The dining room is designed as a no-smoking interior with comfortable seating, while the outdoor area handles shisha service, large screens for live sports and more social evenings - letting the venue work across quiet family dinners and louder group nights without compromising either. The kitchen takes its Indian roots seriously. Alongside the expected North Indian staples, the menu includes a meaningful Kerala and South Indian section: Malabar parotta with beef dry fry, neer dosa with prawns gassi, basil chicken tikka, and fresh toddy to accompany the regional food. The tandoor lineup is strong (basil-oregano tikka gets signature status) and the mocktail programme is unusually creative - a curry-leaf mocktail is a regular-recommended order. Pricing sits at mid-range and value is strong. Service is warm and fast, and the staff is comfortable guiding first-timers through the regional sections of the menu. Live screenings, weekend entertainment and a generally sociable atmosphere make it a natural hangout for both visiting families and local regulars. For an Indian dinner that isn't just North Indian, or an informal evening out with shisha and drinks, Masala by Socials is one of the emirate's more interesting choices.
