Delicious butter chicken, chicken wings and lamb korma. Naan and roti were made to order – so fresh!

Parvinder provided great service! I got the paneer butter masala and the flavor of the dish was good, but I would’ve liked to have more paneer. The naan portion was a good size.

Absolutely loved the food here! The biryani was on another level, perfectly spiced and incredibly flavorful. The naan was soft and fresh, and the kadai chicken was outstanding. The service was just as impressive, Parvinder was extremely courteous and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming back!

I recently tried a restaurant in Ottawa called Masakali, and the food was amazing. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the service was fantastic.

I especially loved the Gobi Manchurianβ€”it was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. A special thanks to Parvinder for the excellent service. He was very polite, attentive, and made the experience even better.

Highly recommended! πŸ‘

I have been masakali at other locations and i was expecting the food here to be as good as other locations but to my surprise it wasn’t. Kadai paneer was lacking flavours and garlic naans were fine. Nonetheless Staff was friendly.
