Masal Cafe & Lounge

One of the best halal spots I have been and has become my favorite place to go to. The food is unbelievable good. The potato kinish is amazing. The setting is pretty reasonable. The prices are very fair compare to other expensive places. I have to give it a 5 star. The staff is very friendly. You can’t say anything bad about it to be honest

This place speaks to my soul. I walk in & feel like I’ve just entered my abuelas home, it’s very welcoming, very comfortable, & feels like a home away from home. The hospitality is unmatched, the food is fresh, tasty & presented nicely, the waterfront view is calming, the bathrooms are clean & accessible. The atmosphere has a way of relaxing your nervous system & helping you smile if you’ve had a rough day! Please pay them a visit & you won’t be disappointed! Tell them Ray sent you(they don’t know me by name, yet but it’d be fun to see their facial expressions 😂)

I recently tried to call this restaurant to find out which of their 2 locations was open, as both share the same name. Unfortunately, my experience was very frustrating. The person answering the phone kept giving contradictory answers - sometimes saying the restaurant was open, then saying it was closed, without clearly explaining which location was available. When I asked to speak to a manager or someone else, he said he was there alone handling everything - from cooking to serving and hosting. Despite my polite efforts to clarify, he eventually hung up on me, which I found extremely unprofessional. I called back twice more, only to have the calls picked up then immediately disconnected. On the 3 try, the same person finally spoke with me again. I remained courteous and asked again which location was open. Instead of helping, he repeatedly stated the restaurant’s name, which did not resolve anything. He initially refused to give his name but later said it was Mike, which I doubt is accurate. Even after all this, I am still uncertain if the address he gave me was correct. Today I had planned to bring a party of 8 people to this restaurant for dinner. Sadly, due to the unclear and unhelpful communication, I could not find out which location was open and therefore could not confirm where to go. Overall, the staff I dealt with was rude and uncooperative. I urge management to address these serious issues by ensuring their employees communicate clearly, show respect, and are genuinely helpful to customers.

If you are a person of color I wouldn’t recommend coming here. I ordered mash and salmon. They came out with rice and salmon. I asked why was I given rice he said he didn’t have potatoes. Then the server started serving other people baked potatoes. When I questioned why he said they didn’t have potatoes when they are serving baked potatoes, he said mashed potatoes have potatoes, milk, salt, and pepper. My table has salt and Pepper and other people were having coffee with milk on the side. The refusal to change my order for their mistake, lying about not having potatoes because they didn’t want to take accountability for their mistake is what granted them a one star rating. Then he started serving other tables mash. I am extremely confused. I don’t know if it’s because I am the only person of color here, and everyone else was white. It just didn’t make any sense to me. I guess if you aren’t white you can’t get what you ordered, or your order corrected. Then proceeded to wash potatoes in front of my face. If I could give 0 I would!

We waited so long for our food on 1/19/26 after waiting a long time to have our order taken. No bread, water nothing during this long wait for our food. My friend got fish - it was ridiculous how small this fish was. My dumplings were good but warm, not hot. The bill for 2 people came to $107.00. - they included the tip after poor service. We will never go there again
