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.

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!

Had food from here a couple of times. Chicken biriyani was fine. Veg biriyani was below average. Tried Salmon tikka and it was great. Masala Tea and Pakoda was also good.

I have never had Eastern Indian food before. My friend grew up eating these foods, and shared the experience with me at the Masala Spice Indian Restaurant in the Fairview Shopping Center, YUM!! Located next to Carl’s Jr., in Goleta, CA. The service was good, although I wish the server had more experience describing the differences in the dishes. As a newbie, I had questions. Fortunately, my friend was there. If she hadn’t been, I would have been lost. Loved the cauliflower appetizers. If you haven’t tried the food, try it soon.

Looking for HALAL food at Goleta, California? No worries, come over to this restaurant. You can have a prawn curry with steam basmati rice or Prawn Beryani. You must try the parata as well. Delicious food and the staff really helpful. I’m enjoying the Mexican Coke here.

The buffet here is phenomenal, it’s too bad I only have one stomach cause I could only eat two plates. The naan, butter chicken, and tendori chicken is the best I’ve ever had. I love this place, I just wish I didn’t have to drive all the way from Oxnard. The service is great, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is nice and clean.

We ordered samosas, chicken malai kofta, mysore masala dosa, masala dosa and chicken chettinad with garlic naan. Overall food was above average but nothing stood out except dosas. Dosas were well cooked and crispy. Adding to that sambar was not good and the chutneys were okay.
