5 Best Indian Restaurants near Santa Barbara

“It being my first time here. It was an amazing experience. One of the best butter chicken I’ve had. We did the lunch special and for the price it was very worth it. Service was amazing. Our server Joban was consistently checking in on my partner and I making sure we were okay and filled on water. I would highly recommend this place if you live in SB or visiting.“

“Good food 👍 Great service!“

“Masala Spice SB is our new favorite Indian restaurant in Santa Barbara. The extensive menu is creative with plenty of vegan and gluten free options. The service was impeccable with our server being well versed in the menu. The food was authentic, creative, delicious and fun. I appreciate that people from India were working there, as well as eating there as customers. In the past, this location was a totally different restaurant which was devoid of ambiance and felt like a concrete warehouse. The current owners have done a great job to make it feel more welcoming and comfortable. My husband and I will definitely be returning to Masala Spice SB.“

“I had a wonderful experience at the hotel. The breakfast was excellent, especially the fresh and soft parathas. The dal makhni was rich, creamy, and full of delicious flavor. The samosas were also very crispy and extremely tasty. Everything was served fresh and the taste of the food was amazing. I really enjoyed the meal and would definitely recommend this place to others. 😊“

“Christmas Eve lunch buffet had an excellent selection, but like most buffets the food started tasting the same. Naan bread was not made readily available with buffet food. If the restaurant is planning to close at 2:30pm, they should stop taking reservations at 1:30pm and not take them all the way to 2:30pm. My mistake was to make reservations for 2:00pm and only had a rushed 30 min timeframe to eat before the buffet + dessert + tea was removed.“
