Masala Hut

Best Indian restaurant in Canberra. Amazing taste and fresh food. Beautiful blend of spice, packed with flavours and yet so light! Thank you for your service.

Just got an SMS spam message with no ability to opt out (and no ability to say how invasive stealing my phone number to spam to me is). Would never eat here again.

During our holiday, we discovered an amazing restaurant with fantastic service. They had a great selection of tasty vegetarian dishes that were reasonably priced. We were really impressed with everything about this place and would highly recommend it.

My last review was done over three years ago and if anything, the place is even better now. The takeaway deals are tasty and affordable and I recently attended a birthday dinner where the service and food were excellent. The dishes including vegetarian options were generous and scrumptious including the rotis and nan bread, butter chicken, beef madras etc.the place is BYO and licensed and corkage is very reasonable. It is one of the best Indian places on the south side and is very affordable.

I have always enjoyed every meal and interaction at Masala Hut. I have dined on numerous occasions, had countless takeaways and even ordered direct for delivery service over the phone and all have been impeccable.

The food is always delicious, generously portioned and seasoned to perfection. The plain naans are to die for! The Currys are beautifully textured, with loads of chunky veges, cheese or meat (depending on what you order), and there are never any of the thick layers of oil you find at many other restaurants. The vegetable pakoras are amazingly crispy, and incredibly tasty! I could go on. It's all great!

I often order the "Dinner for Two" for myself and 2 friends (3 people total). It's a challenge to finish with just 2 people, and even 3 people will be quite full! It's an incredibly generous serving for the price.

The staff are very pleasant and helpful when ordering takeaways/delivery over the phone and service when dining is very calm and courteous.

The dining area is decorated and furnished very tastefully, and the tables are spaced suitably from other patrons. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful, and there are no distracting TV's.

As for the BYO alcohol, don't forget you have one of the best independent bottle shops in Canberra right next door.

In my opinion the best Indian in Canberra. Proud to have it as a local fixture in Weston Creek.

Won’t deliver to my suburb even though they deliver to most other suburbs in my postcode. They told me to use Ubereats which increases the cost of a $70 meal to about $90. I’m going to Indian Affair instead!

Best Indian in Canberra. A favourite of my wife and I. Friendly, quick and amazing Indian food!

We have never had a better Indian meal anywhere. For about fifteen years we have been enjoying dining at The Masala Hut. Tonight was no different - an entree of chicken 65 - one of the best you will ever eat with vibrant, zesty flavours from curry leaves, spices, a good kick of chilli and crispy coated chicken pieces, and also a serve of fantastic samosas with seriously good pastry and a satisfying filling of vegetables that you can taste.
You can BYO here and it is very reasonable corkage and also they have a terrific wine list and plus Haywards beer from India - very high in alcohol and does the job with style!
For mains we had lamb roganjosh, Masala Hut chicken special and Kerala chicken - the latter a creamy curry with coconut and sure to be enjoyed by everyone. All of them were great, and coupled with basmati rice and laccha parantha, plain and cheesy naan fresh from the tandoori oven everyone was happy!
They have many great dishes and this was just what we had tonight but the important thing is they consistently serve reasonably priced meals of a very high standard coupled with friendly and deferential service. The restaurant itself is roomy amd comfortable and you can hear yourself talk. Our favourite go to restaurant in Canberra.

We've been going to Masala Hut for a number of years. The food is tasty, healthy and fresh, the restaurant is warm, and the staff are friendly and gentle.
And, importantly, in this COVID time, the restaurateur is adhering to COVID requirements.
Because seating is restricted, make sure that you reserve.

Worst indian I have ever had. Undercooked rice, undercooked naan bread and over cooked chicken. Would not recommend

Average food. Chicken tikka meat want fresh and mushroom tikka didn't had the flavours infused.

Edible but not great. Unbalanced butter chicken, too much tomato. Watery palack paneer. Naans were chewy

Really beautiful experience. The food tasted really good. Even on the day of very important festival, they never made us feel unwelcomed or in a hurry. Loved the customer service. Would definitely revisit as i get a chance. Keep up the great work.

Such delicious Indian food and wonderful staff. We really enjoyed the vegetable biryani and the little surprise you sent us when you missed it off our original order. Thank you so much. We will be ordering with you again - can't wait.

The last two times we’ve been here, our orders were absolutely amazing. Seriously. We’ve been coming here sporadically for a couple of years. Not sure if there’s a been change in chef recently but there’s been a marked improvement. Well done.

To night we had take as away from There we just moved from suncoast coast the food was delicious and the manager was very friendly we will go there again very nice tasty food love IT keep On the good job

Entree’s are good but mains are just not right. If at all you need to eat there then just eat starters and not the mains. One would be better off cooking at home. Very disappointing experience.

Excellent Indian food. We usually get take away, but their renovated restaurant is a nice place to eat in too. Very friendly and fast service.

Incredible value, great food but get there early for take-out. Waiting 1 hour for an order is a first world problem, be aware the friendly staff are doing their best and the food is worth the wait.

It was our first eat-out meal in a while given the restrictions. Nice small, quiet restaurant feel with friendly table service - was limited to 17 guests when we went. Food was delicious! Not being into super hot food we went for cooler curries but they had plenty of flavour and the meat was tender. We'll definitely be back!
