" Masala Bae has quickly become my favorite spot for Indian cuisine! The buffet options are incredible and always fresh. I particularly enjoyed the lamb biryani and the golgappa. However, I wish there were even more vegetarian options available. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere is lively. I find it to be a great value for the price, especially when you can indulge in unlimited naan. Highly recommend trying their mango lassi – it's divine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried Indian restaurants throughout the country, I can confidently say that Masala Bae is one of the best. With a vibrant and lively atmosphere, the experience begins as soon as you walk in. The buffet provided a unique chance to taste many authentic dishes from samosas to biryanis. I was particularly taken with their chai, a perfect complement to the meal. The only downside? I filled up too fast! I hope to return soon to sample more of their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time dining at Masala Bae and it exceeded my expectations! The buffet was well organized, and the menu items were delicious. I loved indulging in the vegetarian curries as well as the chicken dishes. The staff was friendly and ensured we had everything we needed. The environment had a warm feel to it. I will definitely return for more feasting! " (*Curated Review*)

" Was really looking forward to Masala Bae after hearing from friends, but my experience was less than ideal. The food took longer than expected to serve during the dinner hour, and when I finally received my meal, it was lukewarm. The naan was fresh but the curry was lacking the spice I anticipated. It was not a terrible meal, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Masala Bae with some friends for lunch, and it was both enjoyable and filling. The buffet features a good mix of vegetarian and meat dishes, including curry and biryani that pack a punch of flavor. The atmosphere was casual but pleasant, which suited our purpose perfectly. The unlimited naan was a great touch too! I would definitely come back when in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pretty disappointed after my visit to Masala Bae despite all the rave reviews. The service was slow and seemed unorganized. I expected a bustling buffet to be more responsive. The food was average; while some dishes were tasty, others felt a bit bland, especially the dal makhani. I certainly had better Indian meals elsewhere. On the positive side, the decor is charming and adds a lovely touch to the dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an amazing find! The buffet at Masala Bae is like a treasure trove of flavors. From the moment I walked in, the inviting smells wafting through the restaurant made my mouth water. Every dish I tried was more delicious than the last, especially the lamb curry which was perfectly spiced. While the ambience is casual, it's clean and the service is friendly. For anyone in Tustin craving Indian food, this is definitely the place to be! " (*Curated Review*)
