" I went with a group and we ordered a variety of things. It was interesting to see how the Indian spices were incorporated into traditionally American brunch dishes. My favorite was definitely the pakora waffle, but honestly, everything was delicious. The service could have been a bit faster, but the atmosphere was great and the staff kind. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Masala Lab was delightful! I loved the honesty in their approaches to food, along with the care and passion displayed in each dish. From the colorful decor to their amazing fried chicken, it's just a perfect combination. Can't wait to revisit this culinary treasure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Masala Lab really impressed me! I was unsure about fusion food, but they have perfected it. The pakora waffles burst with flavor, and the shrimp and grits were unique and nourishing. I'd take this mix of cuisines any day! Looking forward to making this my go-to brunch spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" So, I've visited a few times now, and I'm never disappointed. The pakora waffles have a nice crunch, while the fried chicken is so juicy. The portion sizes are truly generous! Service was prompt, and the staff are incredibly polite. I appreciate the commitment to gluten-free cooking, making it a safe choice for my allergies. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, I wasn’t expecting such a vibrant brunch spot in Portland! The combination of flavors in my saagshuka was delightful, and the unique addition of bacon was perfect. However, my drink could have been colder, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a wonderful brunch experience, and I would come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
