" Our visit started off well, but there were slowdowns in service as the restaurant got crowded. The food quality, however, remained consistent. The Mutton Ghee Roast was juicy, while the portion size felt adequate. While it left us satisfied, I think they could improve their service timing during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered takeout from here and was disappointed. The Egg Kothu was soggy and lacked flavor. It felt like it had been sitting for too long. The Chicken Biryani had decent spice but could have used more meat. I wonder if dining in is a better option because my takeout experience wasn't the best. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a frequent visitor to Masala Cafe and they consistently deliver. Each dish is packed with flavor and feels authentic without being overly spicy. The portion sizes have also been great lately, making it a worthwhile invest for the price. Whether it's dine-in or takeout, I've always been pleased with my experience here. " (*Curated Review*)

" We enjoyed an authentic South Indian meal here and were pleasantly surprised by the value. The Crab Masala was decent, though I wish the portions had been more generous. Still, the flavors were spot on, and the staff's friendliness makes it worth a visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited for a family dinner and enjoyed the variety of dishes offered. The Chicken Biryani was tasty but I felt it could have had more spices to elevate the taste. The ambiance was nice and welcoming. Overall a good experience, but I think they can improve their spice levels to deliver that true Chettinad taste more consistently. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been here a few times and have had mixed feelings about my experience. The food can be hit-or-miss. While I loved the Chicken Chettinad on one visit, the next time the flavors seemed muted. I believe their consistency in seasoning needs improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a decent experience. The food was tasty, but I expected more of a wow factor. Perhaps it was because I was looking forward to the Curry Leaf Soup, but it fell flat. The service staff were courteous and went out of their way to accommodate us, which was appreciated. I might give it another shot later. " (*Curated Review*)
