A Taste Of India With A View Of The Outer Banks

The Outer Banks is in for a real treat as the first authentic Indian Cuisine Restaurant opens its doors. Located on the northern end of The Wright Memorial Bridge, Masala Bay offers locals and visitors a taste of delicious North Indian food on the Currituck Sound.

Masala Bay has a beautiful, waterfront setting and fills a gap in OBX dining, providing genuine North Indian cuisine. The restaurant offers a special experience; with attentive service, unique ambience, full bar and delicious food. Open for lunch and dinner (closed between 2:30-5pm), Masala Bay delivers a variety of hearty dishes and also excellent choices for vegans and vegetarians. Take-out party platter options are available – a convenient option for home celebrations and Outer Banks vacationers. 

Masala Bay’s Chef Suneej has been part of several successful restaurants and catering services in Northern Virginia. Seeing this great opportunity before him, he made the decision to relocate to the Outer Banks, bringing his experience and recipes with him. Born and raised in northern India, he boasts humble beginnings: he started his culinary journey in his grandmother's kitchen which developed his food philosophy of locally sourced and globally inspired Indian cuisine. He describes his food as "Indian food with an international accent”.

Still in the works for the restaurant are waterfront music, wedding and special events and online ordering.

Most know The Cotton Gin as a must-stop shop for fine gifts, beachwear, souvenirs and so much more, but this retailer has a long-standing history within the Outer Banks. A local landmark that holds almost a century of memories, The Cotton Gin started from humble beginnings and continues to adapt to the times and tourists. Tommy Wright’s family has been in the Outer Banks for nearly 200 years. His great-great grandfather, Jacob Francis Wright, shipwrecked in Duck back in the early 1800s. Calling these barrier islands his new home, Wright and his family acclimated to their new environment.

 

Adaptation is a common theme for the Wright family. Tommy and his wife Candace, who continue to steer The Cotton Gin, have seen not only their business change with the times, but the Outer Banks as a vacation destination as well. A farm market in Jarvisburg eventually transformed and flourished into several retail locations dotting the Outer Banks.

 

“As the area changed and tourism took off in the 1960s, the family saw people coming for vacations, so they began to grow vegetables and things developed from there,” says Tommy Wright. The Wright family expanded upon the farm market and began to remodel a working cotton gin, later transforming the gin into The Cotton Gin general store in the late 1960s. While the additions to the farm store drew visitors, it was their encounters with the Wright family that kept people coming back year after year, which is something that remains true today.
