Masala Spice Indian Cuisine - Goleta

If you find yourself in Santa Barbara and are in the mood for North Indian or South Indian cuisine, this is the place to go. We sampled the delicious malai kofta, onion masala dosa, and Gulaabjamun. Everything was fantastic, especially the Gulaabjamun which could easily be considered one of the best in the US. Be sure to try the hot, soft, and perfectly cooked dishes. The service was top-notch and the atmosphere was great. I highly recommend this restaurant for vegetarians, as they have a wide selection of vegetarian dishes on their menu. Overall, a great place for a dinner meal priced between $20-30 per person. Food: 5/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5.

I absolutely loved the food at this restaurant, especially the samosas. The buffet is also fantastic with a wide variety of items to choose from. The service was excellent and the overall atmosphere was great. I highly recommend trying dishes such as Yellow Dal Tadka, Lamb Korma, Samosas, Ghee Dosa, Paratha, Raita, and Butter Chicken. The average price per person for a dine-in lunch is $30-50. Overall, I give this restaurant a perfect 5-star rating for food, service, and atmosphere.

Good place if you are looking for south Indian or seafood. However it wasn't spicy enough for me. It was expensive like buffet is $21. I think Santa Barbara is expensive in general. I was told they only had halal goat and lamb and not chicken. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

This is a nice to get a little more authentic Indian flavor. Most restaurants have a creamy curry that they use in all their dishes but masala spice has a different curry for each. The food was definitely tasty and flavorful. Kadai paneer is 100% recommended. Would come back! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
