A recent victory in this regard came at Masala Spice, the Indian restaurant that opened six years ago on Calle Real in Goleta. (They opened a second location on the Mesa in Santa Barbara this month, though it sounds like the menus are different.)

I’ve eaten at Masala Spice many times, both in the restaurant and as takeout, and have always thought the food was great. I’ve enjoyed the Indian standards on the menu as well as the dishes I knew less about, many of them reflecting a Sri Lankan influence in the kitchen.
