We had heard lots of positive reviews about here and decided to finally give it a try. We ordered chicken tikka masala and lamb rogan josh and both were amazing! It was a busy Saturday night with a queue out the door and the service...was still quick, efficient and extremely friendly and welcoming. The portions were much bigger than usual than in most Indian restaurants, and price wise was excellent value for money - they could have charged us much more and I would have happily paid it. This was the best food we have had since moving to Canada! Authentic food at a great price and brilliant service!More

Service was exceptional. The waiter was super knowledgeable about the food and easily answered all the detailed questions my wife asked him. I have to say I had the “medium” spice level but based on my limited euro-centric diet, it was hot! Nevertheless the flavour...was exactly what I imagined it would be. Try something new if you have never tried Indian before and check out Masala in Banff. You won’t go hungry for sure.More

While waiting to get into another restaurant we strolled by Masala. A couple sitting at the outdoor table said to us in passing "if you have never eaten here, it is a must. The food is incredible". I thought it would be a tough sell...because my wife is a picky eater and like her food plain. I called the next day and explained to Anish that my wife is a fussy eater and could he make her plain white chicken and rice. He said no problem and we made a reservation. Upon entering he had a outdoor table ready for us, he said he knew what she wanted and would see to it. I told him that I had only eaten buttered chicken previously and I would leave the ordering up to him. I had shrimp Pakora as a appetizer and Chicken Tikka as a main course. The bride chicken was sauteed in a light oil and lightly seasoned. Food and drink were incredible, flavorful with large portions. Service was top notch. Can't thank Anish enough for going out of his way to make our experience memorable. It is a must stop on your next trip to Banff. We will be back. Thanks againMore
