To top it off, the cheesecake dessert was out of this world - creamy, indulgent, and the perfect way to finish the meal. The service was just as impressive as the food: warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making the whole evening even more enjoyable. There is a seating lovely area for a party of 12 and a back garden area that has seating too (we were cosy in the front dining area). If you're in Christchurch and love great food, Masala Bay is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back!

I have my meal from here at least once a week & very often twice a week, in 4-6 months I have never ever had a meal, & each one has been perfection.

The best deal for a 'curry' in Christchurch Borough is the 'Monday and Tuesday Tasters for Two for under a tenner'. Plenty of food.

Small place but obviously good when it was almost full on a Thursday evening at 7:00pm. Food, service and bill were all good. I had the mussels as a starter, which was unusual for an Indian restaurant, but to be fair, it wasn't very Indian when it arrived, nice, but like mussels you would get in France. Overall, recommend with 4 stars from me, would have been 5 stars if the mussels had some zing :D
