Reviews Masala Grille

Though the timings of the restaurant is a bit weird and the place is oddly located ; amidst all of these this place really serves good Indian food especially North Indian food.
Food : 4/5 (North Indian) ; Chinese food didn’t taste good.
Ambience : 5/5
Behaviour of the staff : 5/5

Amazing food, so many delicious flavours, wonderful staff and authentic atmosphere.  A must visit. The cooking classes are fun and a great time for a group of friends to get together.

Been coming here for at least 10 years. What a treat to have a restaurant like this in Thunder Bay. Awesome Indian food and a super historical beautiful building. A treasure

The Thai vegetable curry is probably the tastiest thing I've had in a long time! Unreal and recommended it was very filling for the price:) the only bad thing I could say about the place is that the service was pretty slow but I will be back for sure

Nice decor, ambiance and bad service. Entered the restaurant, a nice spice aromatic ambiance with rich Indian kitchen colours welcomed me - Excellent, what else you need in a restaurant where the entrance enhance your craving for something tastier. Yes the décor with silk and embroidered clothes in rich Indian colors of saffrons/reds/browns/yellow are just done marvelous. 5*****

There was no body at the guest waiting counter, nor a bell to ring to tell that a customer is waiting for to be seated. I went inside to see if someone can help me - NO. I came back and waited for next 5 minutes and just as I thought about going back some one appeared and asked me if I'm waiting for to be seated. I said 'YES'. The girl took me to a corner of the restaurant having a table with two chairs. She asked me to be seated till she brings the menu. There were only two group of people eating at that time whole restaurant was empty, it was around 8:30 pm, she would might have provided me with a much better table near the windows but a table at the end of the restaurant were chosen by her. Not a good choice seeing the time and empty restaurant. 0*

I ordered two dishes seeing the content of the vegetables in those dishes and the name given to them. It came with a bowl of rice and butter naan as I ordered. Way too much for a single guest, but I was not apprised about the quantity of the dishes etc. Anyways.

From the name both dishes sounds like Indian dishes, but here the mistake goes. And as per the hostess it was my mistake that why I didn't ask her if both dishes are Indiana or Thai. I advised her that since in the menu you put the name of the dish similar to an Indian dish then why I will ask you such a question. Whatever. One dish has an authentic Indian flavour. Not much spicy , just the right kind of taste. But people eating bland food my find it spicy so you may request for lesser spices although that will take away the whole aroma of the dishes. Anyways. Another problem I cited was no spoon was given. It was expected that guest will eat fine quality Indian basmati rice with fork, the way oriental rice is eaten. Another big mistake. Fine Indian basmati rice is eaten with spoon not fork for the simple reason that when cooked each grain will remain separate from each other. So food get 4****. Service get 0*.

When I was leaving I tried to strike a conversation with the hostess to praise e about the décor etc. but she was not at all interested to speak anything. So before I say anything further she finished the conversation, which was not started at first place, by saying the second dish which you said was not tasty is prepared as it should be and that is the dish most of our customers like the best. So in a way I was thrown out from the restaurant.  Service again received 0*

This is the only Indian restaurant in the region so I have no other option to visit again but I will wear a wig and remove my glasses. I am Indian and I want Indian food once in a while. Whatever…….

Great food, atmosphere. Food is great. relaxed atmosphere.
If you don't know what to order just get their buffet. Always different selections and all you can eat!

My experience has always been good with them for many years. Amazing Indian food, especially if you are dining in. The takeout containers are all plastic, so I avoid takeout as much as I can. I wish they had an option where you can bring your own containers and they fill them there as takeout. I've seen people flip their lid over how much time it took, and they handled the situation very respectfully. Only love from me!

I’ve ordered takeout from here four times, mostly on the weekends. They can be quite busy on the weekend but it’s always worth the wait. The food is incredible and all of the staff are friendly and accommodating. Chicken korma spicy, tandoori chicken and pakoras are favourites in our household.

Tried out the Lunch Buffet with friends and it was an amazing experience. Food tasted so good and Mango Lassi, just loved it.
