Masala Bay

Masala Bay brings to Glenelg a palate that roams widely across the subcontinent and into the craveable realm of Desi Chinese. In this kitchen, spice meets smoke, the tandoor lends its signature char, and sauces are layered for depth rather than heat alone. It is food made for sharing, for comparing bites and circling back for just one more spoonful.

Street-side nostalgia arrives in the crunch of Gol Gappe and the comfort of Aloo Tikki, brightened by chutneys and a deft hand with seasoning. From the grill, tandoori prawns and tandoori chicken capture that irresistible meeting of yoghurt, spice and flame, delivering aromas that announce themselves before the plates land.

A Desi Chinese thread runs through the menu, from the saucy pull of Veg Manchurian to the wok-kissed kick of Chicken Schezwan Fried Rice. The result is a table that feels varied yet coherent, equally kind to the curious and the devoted regular. Gather friends, follow your cravings, and let Masala Bay set the pace; book in and make a night of it, with spice as your compass.
