The OSM phone (250-544-0726) differs from the website phone (236-470-8826). The website navigation includes a 'Food Truck Brentwood Bay' tab, leaving ambiguity about whether any active Masala Roots presence remains at or near 1191 Verdier Avenue, so this record cannot be confirmed open or closed at this location. Takeout orientation is confirmed by the website's self-description, and vegetarian/GF options are confirmed by explicit menu labels.","concerns":["Address mismatch: OSM shows 1191 Verdier Avenue, Brentwood Bay (V8M 1R2), but website contact page lists 262A Island Highway, View Royal, BC V9B1G2 as the current restaurant location.","Phone mismatch: OSM lists +12505440726 (250-544-0726), but website shows +1 (236) 470-8826.","Website narrative states the business moved from Brentwood Bay to View Royal; the OSM record likely represents the former, now-closed brick-and-mortar location.","Website references a 'Food Truck Brentwood Bay' presence (phone 778-977-5564), but it is unclear whether this food truck operates at or near 1191 Verdier Avenue."],"recommended_status_reason":"The OSM record at 1191 Verdier Avenue appears to be the former Brentwood Bay location; the business website explicitly states it has relocated to View Royal.
