Reviews of Masala Bhavan South Indian Cuisine(Sarcee Plaza)
from GoogleHi, I highly recommend this restaurant, if you are looking for South Indian food, definitely give a try, it worth for your money and time... Reasonable price.. We are from Edmonton, while returning home we would like to have food in Masala Bhavan, and it's our 1st time visit. We ordered cone dosa, garlic naan with paneer butter masala, steamed basmati rice with daal fry, mixed vegetable poriyal, papdam, cauliflower 65. We had a very good experience, the food was fresh and tastes good. Sambar tastes was ultimate, coconut chutney tastes well. We expect more chutney varieties. Sambar was less and we ask for extra sambar, they served .. Daal fry was amazing, it goes very well with rice, so we ask for ghee to enhance it, they served us but didn't charge for it.. The mixed vegetable poriyal was quite unusual and I didn't expect the way they look, but it tastes good no doubt of it and the way of veggies cooked was amazing... But still I wish to have authentic style of mixed vegetable poriyal, it doesn't goes well with rice and dal fry... Quite disappointed.. Very less space for dine in, better call and reserve.. We wish them to grow and to have more dine in space.. Good luck 😇
Tried the masala dosa and filter coffee at this establishment. Both were amazing. It was great to indulge in traditional South Indian cuisine in Canada! Mankit served me really well today; leaving a good review for her as well.
Came in for a dinner with a friend. Restaurant was busy but we were able to find a seat. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. Food was top notch, some of the best I have had in the city in a long time. The Lamb Vindaloo stood out, great spice and not oily like others that I have tried. Chicken tikka was tender as a great portion for the price. The Beef Pepper fry was something that I have never tried before and exceeded my expectations. Would definitely return!
We've been coming here since they first opened, and the quality of the food has always been consistently excellent. The flavors are authentic, and every meal has been delicious. A special thanks to Sanjana for her friendly, attentive, and efficient service. We always enjoy dining here and highly recommend it!
We had lunch at Masala Bhavan, expecting an authentic South Indian dining experience. As someone from South India, I can confidently say the food was far from authentic. The chicken biryani was among the most flavorless we’ve had in recent memory. Apart from the vada, the other dishes—especially the chicken and fish gravies—lacked taste and depth. We were also surprised to see coconut rice served in a Thali, which is quite unusual and suggests a lack of familiarity with traditional South Indian cuisine. To top it off, there was no rasam included. The service was excellent but food unfortunately was not appealing ,we won’t be returning, nor would we recommend this place to others. Please note that we ordered steamed rice because we could not eat the coconut rice served with the Thali meal. I paid for the steamed rice and finishing the curries does not necessarily mean it was tasty to visit again.
Amazing food and just as amazing stuff highly recommend!!
Yum
The dosa was good The chicken 65 biriyani was kinda bad, chicken 65 was extremely batter heavy (was hella salty) rice had no flavour and kinda undercooked
This is the best Indian restaurant I’ve ever been to!!!! The Dosa, chicken tikka and fried rice are amazingly tasty. People here are very nice 👍 They serve our food quickly and introduce the food to us so patiently. We really had a good time tonight. After long time visiting this place never disappointed 👍
Tried this place out with a simple takeout order of a few pakora types and some chicken. Wife called in the order one hour in advance but the food was not ready when I arrived. I had to wait 20min past the pickup time to get the order, and rather than be apologetic for the wait they were rude about it like this is normal. They also twice asked if I was an Uber driver probably because I'm white and my wife is desi, ironic since they struggled with her name on the phone. Family agreed the food was not up to par of our usual Indian spot. Will add that there were three groups dining in while I was waiting for pickup. While I waited one group approached the kitchen staff to complain and ask for a new server because they weren't being provided with water and cutlery. TLDR - food was just okay, service was quite poor
About Masala Bhavan South Indian Cuisine(Sarcee Plaza)
In Sarcee Plaza on 37 Street SW, this South Indian restaurant serves only halal meat, and its vegetarian and meat dishes are cooked separately.
The dosa is the main draw, and the cone dosa is a good pick. On the meat side, the lamb vindaloo is well spiced rather than just hot, and the beef pepper fry and chicken tikka are worth trying. Daal fry with rice is comforting, and the sambar and coconut chutney are praised, so ask for extra sambar. The menu also reaches into Pakistani, Chinese and Sri Lankan dishes.
What diners say
Regulars say the quality has been consistent since it first opened, with authentic flavours and a friendly, efficient team. The lamb vindaloo and the chicken tikka are both praised, and the portions are generous for the price. Diners say the lamb vindaloo is not oily like others they have tried, and the beef pepper fry exceeded their expectations.
What it is like
Seating is limited, so call ahead or reserve if you are coming as a group. The staff are accommodating. The vegetarian side of the menu is wide, from cauliflower 65 to vegetable poriyal.
