Editorial review updated•Jul 28, 2026

On Clarence Street in the thick of the ByWard Market, Masakali makes a case for Indian food that isn't shy about its bar program. This is a room that works for a Tuesday two-top and a Saturday twelve-top with equal ease — spacious, cozy without being precious, and open eleven to ten every day, which matters when the group text can't agree on a time. Order the Hyderabadi biryani; regulars swear it's among the city's best, and the layered rice earns it. The butter chicken is the safe crowd-pleaser, rich and generous, and you'll want garlic naan to chase it. But don't sleep on the smaller plates: crispy corn that people genuinely rave about, and Paneer 65, those deep-fried cubes slicked in tangy chili-garlic sauce that disappear fastest at any table. Cocktails lean playful — a Singapore sling, an orange blossom — and a mango lassi keeps the heat honest. At roughly $15–25 a head, it's fair Market pricing for food this satisfying. Bring people who like to share.

Editorial review by Priya Sharma

Govinda's has been operating in Ottawa, which means it predates the city's entire modern plant-based dining scene by several decades.
