Excellent Indian, best we've tried in Canberra. They have all the usual favourites on the menu but there is real care taken with the balance of flavours. There are also a few standout dishes, the roast lamb with rum and the house special dahl (yes, the dahl is not just an extra but a must have!). Friendly and accommodating whether it's a quick Friday-night early dinner or a birthday celebration.

Great Indian food, the lentils were really tasty but it was the peshwari naan bread that we both really loved. The vindaloo was hot but delicious.

Fairly good Indian, flavoursome curries. Service ok. Expensive but dishes are large.

The palak (spinach) paneer is sensational and they make their own paneer! Great food, prompt service with a smile, lovely atmosphere. This is a real find and we can't wait to return.

I dined here last night with 3 others and we had Banquet #2. There was so much food and it included lots of enjoyable goodies. None of the main dishes were hot (which suited our particular tastes) but I'm sure they would be happy to oblige if a request was made to "up" the heat! My favourite dish was the Butter Chicken - yum! The service was polite and prompt. We had a really enjoyable dining experience and recommend it to others.

Had a great dinner there with a friend, ordered a lamb dish, and a beef vindaloo, both dishes were great and the vindaloo, while very hot, you could still taste individual flavours in the dish. Loved it!

Great place. Don't feel put off by the somewhat odd name. Excellent food and service.

Nice Indian in Dickson, had a banquet with 4 and was pleasantly surprised. Nothing too special but a good hearty Indian.

Although Bollywood Masala is a bit pricey compared to other Indian restaurants, I don't mind paying a bit more here as the food is consistently good, and always of exceptional quality. The nice atmosphere and friendly efficient service make this one of the better Indian restaurants in Canberra.
