" If you're in Portland and haven't visited Masala Lab PDX yet, do yourself a favor! The fried chicken and waffles are next-level delicious, combining southern comfort with Indian spices. I felt like I was on a flavor rollercoaster, with every bite better than the last. The atmosphere is cozy, and the team behind the counter exudes a welcoming vibe. Already planning my next visit!

" I was impressed by the creativity and freshness of the dishes at Masala Lab. The saagshuka was one of the best I've had, and the addition of spices made it a special experience. The only downside was the slight wait time, but the friendly and knowledgeable staff made up for it. Total thumbs up for their chai as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a unique experience! The bold flavors in their dishes really captured my attention. The pakora was perfectly spiced and made for a satisfying breakfast. It's rare to find such an attentive team at a brunch spot, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well they took care of us. Highly recommend trying the chai kombucha as a drink pairing!

" Had brunch today and it was a flavorful adventure! I had the Chaat Hash which was bursting with spices, and I enjoyed every bit. Perfectly paired with an iced chai that had a unique coconut twist, so refreshing! The decor is also gorgeous with bright plants everywhere. I'll be dreaming about that dish until I get to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Masala Lab, and I'm already planning my return trip! Every detail from the ambiance to the food was meticulously curated. The saagshuka was delightful and the perfectly cooked eggs on top were a highlight. I'm just in awe of how everything came together so well. " (*Curated Review*)
