Delicious food, a more sophisticated & modern take on Indian cuisine (though the favourites are available too). Freshly made & delicious. Pleasant ambiance. Service was polite but a little slow & disinterested.
What a great night we had.Food was delicious!Service fantastic! Could not do enough to make us welcome .Went back 2 weeks in a row. It’s BYO
Good Ambience. Tried the lamb with garlic naan. Prompt service. Food was tasty and authentic as compared to other places in town. Highly recommend
This is the only decent Indian restaurant around Kingston which does actual Indian food.
The portions are generous and they have lunch specials as well.
My personal favourite is the Dal Makhni.
Fantastic for coeliacs. Delicious menu, excellent service highly recommend great atmosphere Authentic Indian food, butter chicken was delicious all in all great restaurant
Dined in on a Thursday evening. Very busy, but service was prompt and attentive.
We shared the Bollywood leg of lamb, the daal bollywood and the palak paneer. The lamb did, as promised, "melt in the mouth", and was generously sized. The daal and paneer were also well proportioned.
Nothing we ate tasted bad - far from it. It's just that none of it had the kick that one would expect from Indian food. Indian food in Canberra seems to generally be very mild; even though the dishes we picked are generally on the milder side, I found that they were a bit on the bland side, especially the daal. The creaminess could have been dialled down on all three dishes.
Recommended for an inoffensive midweek meal - very family friendly.
Very thoughtful of them to give me a cup of kheer in my take away pack. Food is great. Will be back again. The daal was great and so was the cheese naan.
Back again for a cracking Butter Chicken, paired with two lamb cutlets. Delish. Can't go past it. Best Indian in Canberra.
Only one downside, got a whole meal roti rather than a normal one, not for me.
I was surprised how nice the food was here. We had the eggplant which was amazing and also the rogan josh curry and some naan. All excellent and ample enough we took the leftovers home. Service is a bit slow but hey, it's Canberra!!
Best Palak Paneer of MY LIFE. Words can't describe the flavours of the palak paneer - a humble spinach dish, who knew.
Always has friendly service, my boyfriend loves the lamb vindaloo - great balance of chilli, spice, herbs.
I could eat the saffron rice by itself, it is that delicious.
Amazing Indian restaurant in town. All dishes were mouthwatering and beautifully presented. Loved the quality and quantity of street food and mocktails.
Simply the best Indian in Canberra. I feel like Bollywood Is criminally underrated. Every dish we have had has been superb. For me what puts them apart is the taste of fresh herbs and spices. There just seems to be so much complexity of flavour to the dishes and you just know they have worked hard to get each dish right.
Worked here one night. Everyone was so nice, got a free meal (cheese naan). The cheese naan was SO good!!! I really like this restaurant, everyone from the owner to the chefs were kind hearted and treated me, a casual kitchen hand, like a family.
Great service.. we rocked up at 8.45pm & still welcomed group of us inn.. delicious & hot food both veg n non veg & prompt service. Lovely ambience... Anmol really looked after us.
We really enjoyed our meal at Bollywood Masala. It was an interesting and enticing menu that, in addition to the classics, had a number of regional and signature dishes. I look forward to returning in order to try more of the menu! The Bollywood Dhal was delicious, and the Tandoori Mushrooms were a revelation!
The restaurant does appear to be a little understaffed (not uncommon for the times we’re in), and so service was a tad slow. However, this was absolutely no reflection on the lovely lady who served us (Puja, I believe?) who was simply delightful and doing the work of 3 people!
We’ll definitely be back 😊
WOW! Just had an absolutely wonderful meal. Tandoori mushrooms are superb. Butter Chicken, Beef Vindaloo, Safron Rice and Garlic Naan. Really superb taste and good prices.
