Masala Art Kitchen and Bar — Restaurant in Calgary

A New Star in Calgary’s Food Scene – Masala Art Kitchen and Bar

We had the immense pleasure of dining at Masala Art Kitchen and Bar on Saturday, April 5th, and wow—what an experience! Only three weeks into opening, and this place is already cooking like it’s been a beloved neighbourhood gem for years.

The first thing that stands out is the flavour explosion. Seriously—your mouth will go on a full-colour fireworks display of taste. Every dish we tried was rich, vibrant, and absolutely packed with flavour. And there was so much food! Generous portions across the board—so come hungry (or come with friends to share, because you’ll definitely want to try everything).

One of the biggest wins for me, personally, is how they cater to all spice levels. I’m someone whose fingernails break into a sweat at the mere mention of chili, but the team at Masala Art totally understood the assignment. Every dish we ordered was seasoned to perfection—bursting with flavour, but tailored to our heat preferences without losing authenticity.

It’s rare to find a new restaurant this polished right out of the gate. If you’re a fan of Indian cuisine—or if you’ve been hesitant to try it because of spice levels—Masala Art Kitchen and Bar is the place to go. This isn’t just a good Indian restaurant; it’s one that deserves to be listed among the top Indian dining spots in Calgary.

You will not be disappointed. In fact, you’ll be planning your next visit before the table is cleared.

A Must-Visit Spot for Authentic Indian Cuisine – Masala Art, Calgary NW

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Masala Art, located at 2 Royal Vista Link NW #1110, Calgary, AB T3R 1N9, and I can confidently say—it’s an absolute gem!

From the moment we stepped inside, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for a wonderful evening. The interior is beautifully decorated with vibrant colors and intricate artwork, creating a cozy and authentic atmosphere that instantly makes you feel welcome.

The service was exceptional. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about our dining experience. Our server made sure our glasses were never empty and checked in at just the right times—professional yet personable.

We started with a Mango Lassi, which was smooth, refreshing, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. For our main, we ordered the Navratan Korma, and it was nothing short of amazing. The vegetables were cooked to perfection, and the creamy, flavorful sauce was rich and comforting without being overly heavy. Generous portions and fair pricing made the experience even better.

To finish things off, we shared a serving of Gulab Jamun—warm, soft, and decadently sweet. The perfect ending to an already memorable meal.

If you’re in Calgary and craving high-quality, authentic Indian food, Masala Art is a must-visit. From the food to the service to the ambiance, everything was spot on. Highly...

We had a late night after a hockey dryland, My son and I were starved and wanted to eat something flavourful and tasty. We drove around the Royal Vista area until we discovered this Indian restaurant that we never noticed before. We took a chance. And we were not disappointed. Our palates were satisfied and the warm hospitality from the staff just made our day. We were so hungry and ordered a lot more than 2 people can eat. We had vegetable samosas, mango lassi, tandoori chicken, chicken malai tikka. Fish pakora, daal makhni, garlic naan and plain rice. It turns out I forgot to take pictures of the beautifully presented foods. This is unusual for me but I guess it explains how hungry we were that we jumped right into eating. They not only helped us packing all our leftovers, Mr.Prakash came out and chatted with us. They were closing but didn’t make us feel rushed to get out. To our surprise, he packed a box full of Laddu (a type of Indian sweet) for a complimentary take out. My 10 year old was so moved by this warm gesture. Not only our stomach was full so were our hearts. The space was clean, simple and well kept. 2 clean bathrooms and good sitting capacity. Portion was great for the price we paid. We made 4 more meals out of our leftovers. We will definitely be back! Thank you for your great...
