Kind Service | Delicious food | Beautiful view We have been driving past Masala Bay for years, on the way to our vacation. This year, we decided to finally try it. The restaurant was not too crowded, when we visited (a little after 5pm on a Tuesday night). The staff greeted us warmly, including the chef, and showed us to our table with a great vista of the water. We started with an order of the toasted garlic naan. And we split our entrees, shrimp korma and butter chicken, which were large portions that came with plenty rice. The waitress spent time telling us the story of the restaurant and we finished with a small plate of gulab jamun. Overall, one of the best experiences and I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for some Indian cuisine.

Very good restaurant! Highly recommend if you are looking for something a little different on the beach. It also has some of the best views you could ask for! Will definitely be going back!

I am a huge fan of this restaurant. While it may not have the largest and most extensive of menus for an Indian restaurant, what they do have is very, very good. Among the appetizers, the bhel puri Is one of my favorite versions of that blend of flavors. The scallops pulse Is outstanding and my favorite seafood entrée. Among the vegetarian dishes the saag is good, but the baingan bharta and shamsavera kofta are my very favorites. The two waitresses there are very kind and very helpful. The view is delightful. Overall, I found it a wonderful experience, and was so happy to find some quality Indian food on the Outer Banks.
