I wasn’t expecting to be delivered a ‘Korean-BBQ’ style dinner where you have to cook your meal before consuming it. All of the Garlic Naans received were extremely undercooked; basically just thick and raw on 1 side. We had to roast it on a pan before eating it but even then; it tasted very weird.The two curries that we ordered were different in quantity so this place lacks consistency. Some of the chicken pieces in the Chicken Balchao had a very weird texture. There aren’t a lot of appetizer options here so ended up ordering the Vegetable Pakora which were basically tasteless balls of chickpea flour.I am giving 1 star because there is no option to give 0 stars. I can’t believe that this place has an overall rating of 4. I will definitely not re-order from this place or recommend it to anyone else. The KW area has a lot other restaurants which taste significantly better.

Excellent food, lovely waitress, thank you

I got naan to take home from this restaurant. They were awful: burnt on top and raw in the middle. I paid 20$ for 6 naan which is a pretty steep price, but would’ve been worth it for a house-made staple. The naan they served me was far from worth it. The inedible doughy mess completely ruined our dinner. I won’t return here and won’t recommend it either.

The Kashmiri Rogan Josh was delicious, Garlic naan was tasty. Dessert - Kesariya Kheer wasn't upto my taste, it was not creamy, instead it was watery.Overall good experience and would like to try some other dish before saying anything confidently about the place.

Indian comfort food is the best way to describe this.I have not done takeout so can't comment on some of the reviews about that, but the dining in experience was very enjoyable.

Vegetable samosa was great, mulligatawny soup was good flavour, a bit too rich for my taste.Bhuna ghost was very rich but pretty tasty. Chana masala was great when paired with the garlic naan. Both curry dishes were saucy and generous portions. 1 rice was enough for 2.

I don't usually give reviews but Masala Bay is the worst restaurant of KW. Please fire your Chef who has no idea how to cook food and don't care about health of the customers. I accidentally enter in kitchen and couldn't believe my eyes how food is cooked here.FYI Chef, hands must me clean before cooking the food.

I have ordered and have experimented with no less then 10 Indian food Restaurants. I can say, hands down, the very best in KW is Masala Bay. The tastes, food description on their web site and ultimately the product is second to none. Well done, keep the quality going and your patrons will happily pay $2 more per dish for what you offer. Not to mention the various meals from various parts of India. You nailed it. Excellent food experience.

First class racist and dirty mouthed chef. Cheap quality food and bloody fake about customer service. Brown, yellow or any other race...be ready for a worst nightmare experience. Looks good on the outside, but inside it's all rotten. The food served to us seemed like left overs from the previous customer.The chef needs a slap of reality, that he is an Indian too, and hence must learn like a baby to treat all customers as equal.Felt unholy after swallowing the first bite!

Hole in the wall charming place. My favorite Indian cuisine in Waterloo Region. Chicken korma is to die for
