" Masala Theory offers a delightful blend of atmosphere and authentic Indian cuisine. I particularly appreciated the detailed descriptions from the staff about each menu item—it made choosing dishes a lot of fun! We had the Lamb Curry and Naan which were exceptional, but I expected slightly larger portion sizes for the price. The midnight lounge vibes added to our experience and I'd recommend it for anyone looking for great Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered Masala Theory last night, and I am so glad I did! It's a small but beautifully designed place. The flavors in the dishes were vibrant, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh and well-prepared. I tried the Chicken Kadai, which was spicy but not overwhelming. The only reason for my four-star rating? I wish the portion sizes were a bit larger for the price paid. Still, I would definitely go back, perhaps with a bigger appetite next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had the buffet at Masala Theory, and let me tell you, it was a fantastic experience! The selection was impressive without being overwhelming. Each dish was flavorful, and I appreciated that they had milder options for those who prefer a gentle spice level. The mango lassi was a delightful addition to my meal, perfectly refreshing. The only downside was that a couple of items ran out quickly, but the staff was quick to replenish them. Overall, a highly satisfying meal and definitely worth the price! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Masala Theory based on the glowing reviews, and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere struck just the right balance between cozy and sophisticated, making it a lovely backdrop for dinner. I tried their Aloo Gobi and Naan, which were both delightful and authentic. The only hiccup was that my server seemed a bit rushed, but they were friendly and attentive otherwise. Would I return? Absolutely! It's wonderful to see an Indian restaurant that takes pride in authentic flavors without skimping on service. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! I just had one of the best Indian dinners at Masala Theory. The paneer butter masala stole the show, and the naan was perfectly fluffy. What I really appreciated was the authenticity of the food—I can assure you I’ve tasted the same flavors in India itself! The ambiance was charming, making it a perfect spot for family dinners or date nights. The service was efficient, and I’ll recommend this to anyone looking for great Indian food in Calgary!

" What a wonderful evening we had at Masala Theory! Every dish we ordered was incredible—especially the Chicken Vindaloo; spicy and packed with authentic Indian flavor. The decor is so inviting; it’s perfect for an evening out. The staff were attentive and checked in on us regularly without being obtrusive. I absolutely loved my experience here; highly recommend it for anyone craving good Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Masala Theory is a lovely little Indian restaurant that boasts an impressive menu. I stopped by for lunch, and their thali platter really caught my eye. Everything was beautifully presented, and there was enough variety to please every palate. The flavors were beautifully balanced, authentic and delicious! The staff was very friendly, though perhaps a bit overwhelmed during peak hours. I look forward to coming back with friends for dinner! " (*Curated Review*)
