Café Masala in Central Bedfordshire

Didn’t appreciate being called stupid by a group of male staff as a female on their own when questioning £30 charge for 3 popadoms a coke and a j20. Very mediocre food, far more better options in the local area, surprised by the good reviews as each time I’ve been has been very poor rude service

Amazing food, friendly atmosphere.. our favourite place to eat out.

First class food & service highly recommended

We come here for my dad’s birthday last night, absolutely phenomenal. Gave them my dad’s cake, and they brought it out when we asked. Really helpful. Very hands on with drinks or anything you need. Food come out fast and was absolutely delicious, they even put birthday balloons up, and a banner. Thank you so much. 7 very happy guests!

Excellent food and the service given is of a very high standard

Always the best curry, highly recommended

Great food and excellent service

Second time here and we brought some friends along too. Thoroughly enjoyed a Lamb Jalfrezi, Sag Aloo and mushroom rice. Just writing this is making me crave another one! 😋 Excellent service and friendly staff. Defo go again. 👍🏻

Our village Indian is the resident’s best kept secret! Great food, staff are always happy to help, nicely decorated, couldn’t be better. From kid’s mild curries to hubby’s spicy option, we are all very satisfied, thank you

This is my all time favourite Indian. I have been to many and none of them has come close to cafe masala. I travel from mk to get a takeaway!! Always come here for a meal! The staff are lovely and very attentive even when it's busy! Food is absolutely amazing!! Highly recommended to anyone who loves a good Indian

Best chicken korma ever! Service very friendly and professional, either as takeaway or eating in.

Lovely choice of vegetarian options, good service and very good paneer tikka masala and saag aloo - very busy too. Restaurant owner was very friendly.

Very good As always , can never say a bad word Staff so polite and lovely food is immaculate!

Great food got my collection order wrong which is a bit annoying have to wait a long time for just a few bits for collection but they are busy guys. Both times we've got keema naans they're caught (burnt) on both sides so have to pick these burnt sections off which is a shame. [just seen your company response thanking me for my kind words in my review and that you're glad i was happy with the service, to be honest i wasnt as the text states, please read my review before replying, thanks]

Superb meal tonight, service excellent as usual. Been coming here for over 20 yrs & there’s a reason why, one of the nicest local restaurants who really do care about their food & service.

Friendly staff and great food! also really good value for money will be returning😊

First visit here tonight. Great experience, lovely staff and amazing food! Very impressed! I will definitely be back again soon! Thank you

This place was a recommendation so we decided to check it out! O'boy it was 10/10! If you're ever in the area make sure you go and check it out the food was incredible.

First time visit. Amazing food. Thanks

Wife went here mid week on 04/07/24 and came home with severe food poisoning, and was really sick for 7 days afterwards. Contacted the restaurant via the email on their website to let them know the situation privately and had no response from them. Will avoid in future.

Such friendly staff, amazing food and so fast with the food coming out. Lovely atmosphere, would come here for an Indian again and again

Staff are really friendly and always happy to help with any special requests we had. Thought we would try it as we are only a walk away and was incredible.

Brilliant food and fantastic staff. Never a bad experience at this restaurant.

We absolutely love Cafe Masala. Whether you are grabbing a take away or eating in it’s always 5 star. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend we travel half an hour as the food is that good!

Had a great meal at cafe masala. Delicious food and brilliant service.

First time here, and it was simply fantastic,

Best curry house !! A must visit !!

Always great food. Definitely one of the best...

Superb food, friendly faces and as vegetarians wouldn’t eat anywhere else as there is so many options and the staff are happy to change dishes with a smile. We eat in and out regularly but can always guarantee wonderful food. Ali is a star! Great service.

Lovely food, would definitely go back again

Really lovely staff, great food and overall great atmosphere.

Spent a lovely evening with the family at Cafe Massala which is my local village restaurant. The food is always great, along with the friendly service and very reasonable prices (approx £25 per person for a lot of food, including service) it’s a must visit.

The best Indian restaurant EVER. have tried many others all over the place and we always come back here. Best service, value and the most delicious food you’ll ever have. Always fresh and always consistent. 10/10 every time

Food was amazing! Highly recommend! We will definitely come back when we're in town!

Great service, great food. A definite 5 star restaurant! Thanks guys!

Top quality Indian. Definitely a cut above

Lovely Indian takeaway - even better they threw in some great popadoms. Joe :)

Great food, friendly staff 100% recommend

Best indian restaurant in the area by a mile!

Taraq and I organised a fundraising activity in aid of BBC Children in Need. The onion bhaji is out of this world!

Excellent food, excellent service. Highly recommend.

The food here is exceptional! Friendly service and reasonable prices. My family have been eating here for 20 years and we wouldn't go anywhere else!

The most brilliant curry in the borough! I’ve been a loyal customer here for donkeys, they have never disappointed. The food is spectacular, the service equally reassuring. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Found this place by accident as the only place open on a Monday evening and have never been anywhere since. Staff, food and service are top notch Taraq knew our names and greeted us the 2nd time we came made us feel so special. The quality of the food is exceptional and everything tastes so fresh couldn’t recommend higher

Great food, lots of choice, lovely people and service would highly recommend

Brilliant local curry restaurant. Great food and lovely personal service. Never had anything but a great meal here.

My family members and i dine here regularly and the food is always perfect. The staff are friendly and attentive.

Fantastic food fantastic service and cheap prices

We always have a great meal @ Cafe Masala. My wife asked for something not on the menu and they were more than obliging! Great service and fabulous food.

ALWAYS good service, ALWAYS excellent food, ALWAYS a friendly welcome. We have tried other Indian restaurants in the area but ALWAYS end up back here! Mmmmm Tamarind sauce!

Easily the best Indian within a 20 mile radius. Delicious, fresh fragrant food with first class ingredients. Have been going there for 15 years.

A small pleasant restaurant with very friendly and helpful staff. The food is varied and the quality exceptional even the take aways even though they do not deliver I still travel 15 mins to get a takeaway as it's that good.

Excellent every time! Great fresh food, warm welcome and wide variety of dishes. Tarrique and his team never disappoint

Fabulous food, and excellent service. Always made to feel welcome.

Delicious food, fabulous staff who are so friendly and know customers by name. We love to come and sit in as always get a great meal!! Highly recommend

Very local, In the last 10 years never had ad a bad meal

Friendly staff and not bad price for the quality, I had the gunpowder and it wasnt as hot as I expected however still very lush. Onion bhajis were the best ive had

The food was good with top quality Lime Pickle served with the Poppadoms and tender Lamb used in the main dishes. What spoiled the experience for me was the fact that they only offer bread made with white flour. I like bread and usually have Chapati or Roti instead of the (white) Rice offered in restaurants because I need fibre to avoid my IBS flaring up (a lot of people have this problem). I was under the impression that Nan bread is made with white flour but Chapati & Roti with Atta (wholemeal flour) and certainly investigation on line supports this. I made my view clear to the Waiter and introduced him to Chicken 65 which was not on the menu and is delicious if prepared correctly. I'm sorry but I won't be returning unless they offer proper Chapati & Roti made with the correct flour, it just seems for their convenience that they use one flour and in fairness they are not the only Indian restaurant to be guilty of this.

Had a delicious meal and fabulous time with friends. Really great all-round.

Brilliant atmosphere, brilliant customer service and even better food. Will be going again on a regular basis.

Food was on point staff were friendly was expecting my gunpowder curry to be abit hotter but it did taste lovely service was a little slow but would defo go back

Hands down some of the best Indian food I've ever had. Staff is incredibly friendly. Several unique dishes I haven't seen elsewhere. Good selection of wine at reasonable prices as well. Atmosphere is above average as well. Definitely not just your typical curry shop!

Probably the worst indian curry we ever had .. Bland and tasteless , our table for six was extremely disappointed .

Great food, great service. Would definitely recommend.

Friday evening and it was deserted. I collected a takeaway admitted early, about 6pm but thought it was closed. Not a soul inside. Food was very average. I suspect it's another restaurant that buys in from a central supplier. There was certainly nothing fresh about the ingredients. Once you've had really good Indian food it's difficult to accept the usual fayre from such places.

Was recommended by a local to try this place, and we were definitely not disappointed. First thing is that it was really busy, which is always a good sign - if the locals like this place they must be doing something right. The restaurant itself was nicely done up, and clean, although I felt it could do with just a tad more lighting inside. The menu was pretty extensive, and after a very short wait, we ordered a dhal, mixed tandoori grill, and a kebab afghani curry with naans and parathas. Suffice to say the meal was excellent, with just the right amount of spice, piping hot, and served without an inordinate amount of delay. The service was excellent, and I mean really excellent with the waiters always making sure we were OK, and even the owner popping over to say hello to some out of towners, and even giving us some guidance on the locality. Prices were reasonable, and plenty of off-road parking also available. All in all, highly recommended and would go again if in that neck of the woods.

Great food and fantastic service! My boyfriend is from Texas and had never had an Indian curry before. He loved it, and was blown away by the restaurant’s amazing hospitality! Thank you so much.

Any day of the week this is a great place, eat in or take away. Really friendly staff and clearly lots of return customers. Clean and well presented tables and the food is always tasty. Would totally recommend.

Great food could not fault it !!

Caught this place by chance driving to my hotel . Lovely place food and drinks spot on

A lovely ambience. In truth I do not like Indian food but my wife and our best friends love it so know good food when they get it. I did venture and have something which I believe was called a Chicken Bhuna and I did actually enjoy it. Very nice place well worth a visit if you like your Indian cuisine.

Fantastic Food and service, I love this place. Really nice guys, excellent food.

The food is absolutely fantastic and the customer service is top hole! A great evening! Really enjoyed eating here!

Food was ok 👍. But menu price was not matching the bill. Overpriced.

Regular customer , such well prepared meals .

What a great experience last night, taking my America Fiancée and Father for their first UK Curry. The food and staff were fantastic, helping and guiding us with food selection and making sure we were happy and comfortable all the way through the expereince. Special thanks Tariq for dropping us back off at our accommodation, and leading his team to deliver an unforgettable evening.

Banging food, and great service, strongly recommend!!

Nice place food is great good service will definitely be going back

Really nice food with individual dishes like gunpowder chicken not found in other curry restaurants. Staff and service was very good so a good recommendation.

The worst food I have ever had. The starters were cold. I complained ans qas given another portion. Seemed like the food had been warmed up rather than freshly prepared. Never going back here again!

Having visited previously expectations were high. The food was 'ok' but nothing aoecial

Lovely food, great service a great atmosphere.

The best place to get a wonderful curry from for sure. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended.

Top class food, a great place to visit for slightly unusual dishes. Great service too.

Eaton Bray is so lucky to have this restaurant. Friendly staff, good food and well priced. Spot on for takeaway and eating in. Fabulous place.

Best Indian restaurant for miles

First take away from here! We have eaten in here a couple of Years ago and all was good! The food was ready on time and all correct! A little dearer than our usual restraunt but I have to say the portions were much bigger and extremely good food! Definitely our go to restraunt now and much closer!

Really lovely food. Great service and very reasonably priced. Absolutely loved the mixed platter starter and the lamb gunpowder.

Excellent food and service. Friendly and attentive. Recommend all day long.

A lovely restaurant with attentive, helpful and friendly staff. I had no idea what to order for my son as this was his first proper curry. Great suggestions were made and tried and we loved both our main meals and starters. We will definitely be back. The food had great depth of flavour and spice. You could tell that alot if care and attention had gone into the preparation and cooking of the food. Thank you for a lovely dining experience.

First time ordering! Won’t be returning! The chicken Bhuna and chicken saag looked the same no taste difference. The oil was unbelievable! Not impressed considering you have so many good reviews!

Fantastic food chicken madras cooked to perfection.

Best Indian meal I have had. Full of flavour made to perfection. Staff so friendly and funny too which makes it even better. Will definitely be returning.

Fantastic food here and friendly staff.

Have eaten at many different Indian's across the country and this is by far, the best I've ever had!

How do I give this more than 5 stars. I don’t live nearby but if I did this would be dinner everyday. Don’t have any pictures to show because I ate every last bit, can’t recommend highly enough. Not oily, succulent and great portion sizes. Cafe Masala I love you.

Best curry around in my opinion. Would definitely recommend

Had a terrific meal in here yesterday evening. Great ambience and atmosphere, service and food. Also very fairly priced. Would return when I am next in Eaton Bray.

Fantastic food and Service for our first visit. Thank you for great service and delicious food 😋

Lovely food and fantastic service
