    “Just had my first visit to Masala Spice Indian cuisine on Calle Real in Goleta. We received a warm and courteous greeting upon entering the beautifully decorated (and very clean) restaurant, replete with Indian wood carvings and dreamy landscape videos accompanied by contemporary Indian music. Service was very attentive and friendly. We opted for the buffet, which certainly did not disappoint! There was tremendous variety: the Dal was simply the best I have ever had, with perfect spicing and texture. The vegetable Kurma was luscious, as was their version of Chicken Tikka Masala. There is a wide variety of offerings on the buffet, with many vegetarian options. Some very fresh and light Naan bread is included with the buffet. I also ordered a refreshing cold Mango Lassi which, like everything else, tasted very fresh and homemade. After experiencing the buffet lunch, I can't wait to come back and order other things off their exciting looking menu!”

    “We had an excellent meal at Bibi Ji and I would rate it 10 stars if I could! This is not your usual “cheap and cheerful” Indian curry joint. I lived in India as an expat and grew up eating Indian food all over the US. This is special - complex flavors and some nice heat. We had the tandoori chicken, coconut curry with shrimp, eggplant curry, basmati rice and naan - even the naan was special! Yes, it is a bit pricier than the local Indian joint but well worth it!”
