Was super excited to eat at Masala Bae. My friend had been hyping the lunch buffet for so long and we would always talk about coming to eat here on a Saturday morning. Well today was finally the day and it really didn’t disappoint.

We showed up pretty much as soon as it opened and only had to wait about five minutes before we could start getting food from the buffet. It was all so delicious! The standouts for me were the paneer and the chili chicken. I felt...

Had the lunch buffet here. There was a good amount of people seated when we came. Didn't have to wait in line or anything. Food was fresh and constantly being replenished. We enjoyed every option. The mango lassi was a nice touch to our meal. The servers made their rounds often and refilled our water along with providing fresh naan baskets to each table. They also tidy up the buffet area and make sure it's clean too

This place genuinely has the best Indian food I’ve ever had. Their lunch buffet provides a massive array of incredible options, fit for anyones taste. Everything was fantastic, but I HIGHLY recommending trying the biryani. Not to mention the unbelievable mango lassi to pair with the meal.

The buffet is also clean and I was able to get seated immediately on a weekday afternoon.
