" My sister and I stumbled upon Masala Bay during a food tour of the area. The concept of making your bowl just like at Chipotle was really exciting for us. The owner was really passionate about her recipes and even offered us samples of their homemade sauces. I went for the paneer, and it was fresh and flavorful! However, I feel the portions were slightly small for the price compared to other places. Overall, we left satisfied and would come back again. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for healthy fast food, then Masala Bay should be on your radar! I found the experience to be quite enjoyable. You can build your own bowl with fresh ingredients, and I loved being able to select from so many toppings and proteins! The atmosphere is great for a casual meal, just be mindful it gets busy during lunch hours. I admire how the owner takes time to explain everything as if you were a guest in her home. " (*Curated Review*)

" I gotta say, Masala Bay was quite an experience! I wasn't sure how Indian food in a wrap would taste, but it blew my mind! From the homemade naan to the variety of curry sauces, everything felt so fresh. Try the chili naan - it’s baked right in front of you! I especially enjoyed how accommodating the staff were, helping me to choose the right level of spiciness. The only downside? The atmosphere could use a bit more decoration to give it a cozy feel. Still, I'm rating it a solid 4! " (*Curated Review*)

" Very fresh ingredients in my wrap! I enjoyed that I could pick and choose what I wanted. The idea of serving Indian food in a Chipotle-style is interesting and fun. However, I felt that the flavors didn’t pop as much as I had hoped. It would be a good spot for a healthy lunch, but I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to return. The staff, however, are super friendly and welcoming! " (*Curated Review*)

" The concept of a Chipotle-style Indian food place was intriguing, but the execution left a bit to be desired at Masala Bay. While I did enjoy customizing my bowl, the flavors were not as bold as I expected and could use more seasoning. The staff were friendly, and the overall vibe was nice, but I might not return for the food alone. I appreciate the freshness of the ingredients, though! Potential to improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" After my recent visit to Masala Bay, I came away quite pleased. The concept of a mash-up between Indian and Mediterranean is executed well here. You have the freedom to choose your ingredients which is really fun. The flavors are quite robust, but I would prefer a little bit more spice overall. I genuinely liked the atmosphere, though it could feel a bit cramped during busy hours. Still, a nice place for a quick and healthy meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Masala Bay after hearing rave reviews, and I was not let down. The choice of proteins was impressive and the fact that everything is made fresh really stood out to me. They even have great vegan options, which I appreciated. I loved the harissa sauce and ordered it on everything - a must-try for spice lovers! The only negative was that the place was a bit disorganized and could benefit from some better signage for newcomers. Overall, highly recommend for a healthy meal! " (*Curated Review*)
