Website
Update restaurant details
Ranked #27 of 656 restaurants in Canberra
Cuisines: Indian
Dining options: Lunch, Dinner, Reservations
Description: Bollywood Masala is an award winning Indian restaurant operating in Dickson for over 9 years and newly opened in Kingston. Its commitment to cooking food in the traditional indian style, using key ingredients cooked in-house, set it apart from other Indian restaurants. While all dishes are prepared with equal love and attention, signature dishes like the Leg of Lamb, Stuffed Squid, Dal Bollywood and fig and almond kulfi are worth a try. All food is cooked to order and naan breads served fresh from the tandoor. Plenty of vegetarian, gluten free options. Takeaway meals and competitively priced catering services are available.

Went to this restaurant for the first time with friends who had done so previously and it was the "Duck's Guts" Well crafted food and friendly, efficient service at fair prices. All good!

I am the head concierge at one of the big hotels in Canberra, and my job demands me to keep knowledge of local restaurants, in order to make good recommendations to the hotel guests. As Indian is one of the popular cuisines, patrons wanna try, my team does recommend a lot of Indian restaurants to our guests, but of late... More

Whilst the restaurant's name is a bit glitzy the food and service was terrific. Three of us shared a range of starters and mains and came away with very full and satisfied tummys! Well worth a visit.

We used to go to Bollywood Masala quite often, we enjoyed the food and service was nice. Unfortunately, things have changed recently. We went there twice in the last six months and we have been really disappointed. Meals that were very nice turned out to be greasy, not nice at all, staff seems to have changed and is not that...

Kingston has needed a good Indian restaurant for many years. And this is it. Will definitely come back next time we are in Canberra.

They tasted like they were stale and were too spicy even for us indians. my husband had tummy upset after eating their food. Above all the service was... More

Thanks for your feedback - are you referring to Saturday the 23rd of February? Your criticism is quite broad, and I am sure you'd appreciate that non-specific feedback makes it hard for us to learn from our mistakes and improve. It also makes it hard for small restaurants like ours, that are working hard to operate ethically and survive in... More

We had a number of plates to share, all of them very good, the stuffed squids were great, the curries also nice and well presented. Small but complimentary wine list. Will go there again and try some more dishes.

As poms living in Port Hedland, we miss curry! Whenever we go on holiday we go for a curry, and we have high expectations. Bollywood Masala didn't let us down - the curry was delicious.
