We chose a delivery as we were a bit under the weather.The chicken korma was very nice, plenty of it. The mixed kebab starter was massive and very tasty. I was very impressed by the complimentary poppadoms, salads and two mint sauces. The meal was delivered exactly on time and piping hot. I will certainly be back.

6 of us girls went on a tuesday night, i was given the round table which i had asked for. The staff were so polite and friendly from the moment we arrived. Bringing your own alcohol made everything seem so relaxed and easy. The food WOW, it was superb, presentation, taste and brilliant portion size. The naan bread was cut into triangles, so much easier as we were sharing it. The best indian sit down meal i have had in a long time. We all loved it.

As someone familiar with good Indian cuisine, this was my most disappointing restaurant experience. The general belief is that the best Indian restaurants thrive where Asian patrons frequent. Unfortunately, this small, cramped place had poor service and dreadful food – I should have sent it back. My advice: steer clear if you can.

Delicious food and atmosphere, would recommend! Lovely poppadoms, and would recommend the chicken saag and the vegetarian Dhansak.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian curries and starters

We ordered from masala bay and the delivery was on time and the food was absolutely beautiful. Everything was cooked perfectly with the curry dishes abundant with meat along with a wonderfully cooked sauce. Would never go anywhere else if you want an expertly cooked and authentic Indian dish.

Had a lovely meal..asked for red onion with my chicken shishlak as white onion upsets my stomach...a really lovely meal...generous portions and all very tasty and polite and attentive staff. Very impressed! A bonus is being able to take your own alcohol. They do add a service charge but it's so nice you'll Def be happy to leave a tip!

Ordered a curry on New Year’s Eve from Masala Bay - this was the second time I’ve ordered from them as I’m new in Christchurch! The first delivery the food was very nice, lovely flavours, came hot and was very fresh. Unfortunately £70.00 paid on New Year’s Eve and I can honestly say I won’t be going back to Masala Bay, the Chilli Paneer was nice (the only dish that was good) the chicken shashlick was very dry and the pieces of chicken seems not fresh like it has been re-cooked, no flavour completely unbeatable and was left, same for the chicken korma and chicken masala, the rice was also watery! The potato & cauliflower dish was terrible, watery and no flavour too. Sad to leave this review as the first order was nice, but upset & angry I wasted £70.00 on a takeaway that couldn’t be eaten on New Years Eve! Maybe - they pre-cooked everything in advance of new years & reheated as required, but if that was the case, the food was a huge let down!!!

You can bring your own beer and wine, which helps keep the costs down.Very child friendly, nice people to deal with.
