" Visited Masala Waves with my family to celebrate a birthday, and it was delightful! The food was fresh, and we exactly loved the chicken tikka masala. The atmosphere is vibrant yet peaceful, making it feel special. Even my picky kids enjoyed their meals and cleaned their plates — a huge win! The staff was very accommodating, genuinely caring about our dining experience. We'll definitely be back occasionally as a family tradition! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! My friends had been raving about this place, so we had to try it for ourselves. I absolutely loved the garlic naan and the chicken tandoori. The authentic flavors brought back memories from my travels. Service was friendly but could be quicker at times since they seemed a bit overwhelmed. I'll certainly be returning, as the food makes it worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Masala Waves hoping for some authentic tastes of Indian and Nepali cuisine, but I found my dish lacking in depth and richness. The curry needed more complexity, while the service was friendly but not as attentive as I had hoped. It's a nice enough spot for a casual meal but doesn't quite hit the mark for true flavor enthusiasts. Would give it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I keep coming back for the same old favorites! The service is consistently good, and I appreciate that the staff remembers my usual order. The garlic naan is a must-have, as it’s light yet filling. While I enjoy the dishes I usually get, I do wish the menu would offer more variety, particularly with vegetarian options. Still, a fantastic place with great food and ambiance overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family has been coming to Masala Waves for over a year now. The food is consistently delicious, and we always find something new to savor on the menu. I particularly enjoy the chicken tikka masala; creamier and with a hint of smokiness. The service is always fast and friendly, creating a welcoming vibe. It's a family-friendly place, and the owner makes you feel like part of their family. Anyone looking for true authentic Indian/Nepalese food should definitely try it. We'll always be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Masala Waves is a cozy, adorable gem! The momos here stole the show for me; they were dumplings done right! Partnered with spicy dipping sauce, they are truly hard to resist. Add in the pleasantly quick service, and it made for a pleasant outing. If you’re looking for a place that serves authentic Indian and Nepali food, trust me, this is where you want to be! " (*Curated Review*)

" Hope this place can fulfill all the great reviews. I took my family here based on recommendations but left feeling somewhat disappointed. The food was okay, but not remarkable; the curry could have used a better blend of spices. The service was polite, though. I'd give them another chance just to see if it was an off day. The ambiance was nice, but overall, it was a mixed experience. " (*Curated Review*)
