Our Story

About Masala Bhavan Cooking is my passion. I grew up in a small south Indian village watching my parents making delicious and healthy meals for school students every day. They spent more than two decades in the Department of Social Welfare and Nutritious Meal Program. I got my inspiration for cooking from them and it motivated me to use my skills in the field of hospitality. After my studies, I was trained as a professional cook in 5 star Taj hotels in India, Sri Lanka and United Kingdom for 8 years. I immigrated to Canada and worked for another Indian restaurant and Fairmont Hotel in Calgary for 10 years. I received my “Red Seal Chef Certification” in 2009. Always I had dreamt of running my own restaurant and my dream came 

true, with my family and friend’s support we opened our dream restaurant in South West Calgary. My art is creating delicious and nutritious menu that overwhelms your taste buds. Our guests enjoy and appreciate our food and hard work. Our restaurant focuses on traditional ingredients, recipes and styles of cooking that I have practised in my hometown. I grind my own Masala (spices) every day for each food item in our menu. It makes me proud and gives immense pleasure and satisfaction when a guest walks out with happy face. When you think of Authentic South Indian food in Calgary you will remember Masala Bhavan and I Welcome you to Masala Bhavan if you haven’t tried us before, I guarantee, that you will not be disappointed.
