“We’ve been to Masala’s many times over the years. We know what to expect: great food and great prices. I suggest checking them out.”

“So good we had to go back. Though we are doomed to vacations in Banff with family members with very different needs/tastes, every now and then we find a place that everyone is happy with.”

Amazing food! Masala, hands down one of the most delicious dining experiences we had in the Rocky Mountains. We had the Madras Chicken Curry spicy and the Lamb Biryani medium spice. Both amazing!! Portions are huge, we have lots of leftovers. Definitely recommend!1

A Hidden Gem My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary in Banff and walked by this restaurant and decided to go in for lunch. The featured buffet was very tasty as was the delicious hot chai tea. The owner of the restaurant was welcoming which added to the serene and warm ambiance. We will be sure to return on our next visit to Banff.

Excellent Our first visit here after years of going to Banff. Excellent service, spectacular Indian flavours, large portions, reasonable price. Had the samosas, naan, lamb vindaloo, and aloo gobi. All was excellent.

Great local place with good vibe Fantastic food! Medium spice was Perfect for us. Aloo Gobi (cauliflower and potatoes) was so yummy, even my husband who typically only wants meat dishes loved it! The beef samosas were crispy and hot. Servings were big! We had to take a lot home….

Delicious and Friendly Staff We flew into Calgary and drove straight to Banff and we needed to have lunch. We had this restaurant on our list and so glad we decided to go there. It was buffet, which we don’t like but due to Covid it was a family style at your table. We received chicken curry which was delicious, paneer which I don’t like so this is the only downfall of buffet style so we didn’t eat it. We also received lentils, naan, salad and pakori which were all good. This is a must do and we would gladly return again. Plus the staff was very friendly.

Must try for Indian food. Recently discovered a new place to try out the great Indian food in Banff. Delicious preparations and awesome service. The manager is all on the floor and frequently connect with each of the guests.

Best dinner before a movie We had the honour of ordering the first veggie samosa since they put them back on the menu?. The service was friendly and professional, the food was plentiful and totally delicious, we mentioned we were going to a movie and they not only had us there on time they also kept our leftover food for us until after the show. We’ve eaten here many times and they not only made it through the past couples years, the food is better than ever!
