" Our meal was fantastic at Masala Bay Grill! We were lucky enough to snag a table on the patio, and our server was super friendly. The Vegetable Korma was delicious and full of flavor. The experience felt even more complete with the stunning sunset view. I definitely recommend this place, especially for Indian food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a dreadful time at Masala Bay Grill. I found the chicken dishes to be dry and lacking any seasoning. The service was erratic, and it took far too long for our order to arrive. I also noticed that they charge a 20% gratuity automatically, which was unexpected. The view was lovely, but that isn’t enough to make me want to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our meal at Masala Bay Grill was good, the view was exceptional, and the friendliness of the staff made the evening enjoyable. The chicken tikka masala was delightful, but we wish there had been more spice as we asked for it. Overall, a pleasant meal, but next time, we hope for a little more kick in the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the atmosphere at Masala Bay Grill is nice, the food did not meet my expectations. The dishes we ordered seemed like they were prepared hurriedly, and the taste reflected that. My curry lacked flavor, and I was expecting more pizazz. If they can spice things up, I think this place has potential, but for now, I’m hesitant to visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things, my excitement to dine here was high. The ambiance is lovely—waterfront dining is a plus! However, the food did not live up to my expectations. The tikka masala was overly sweet rather than savory, which was disappointing. Service was adequate but nothing extraordinary. Overall, it's a nice setting but I'd suggest they work on refining their recipes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family dined here last week and it was a pleasant experience overall. The outdoor seating with the view of the bay was beautiful. We ordered several dishes, including butter chicken and samosas. While the butter chicken was creamy and delicious, the samosas were just okay and could use a bit more spice. Service was friendly but a bit on the slower side. Overall, nice place for a family meal and we plan to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Masala Bay Grill is the perfect spot for a casual dinner with a view! I was amazed by how friendly the staff were—even during a busy night. The spicy chicken curry was satisfying and packed with flavor. Although I felt that the portions could be a bit more generous, it didn't take away from the experience. If you're seated on the patio when the sun sets, you'll be in for a treat! I will definitely return to try more items on their menu. " (*Curated Review*)
