🚗 Parking Made Easy!

Whether you choose street parking or our spacious rear parking lot, getting to Masala Magic by Anita is easy.

Many guests don’t realize we have ample parking behind the restaurant, with a convenient back entrance just steps from your car. Of course, if you find a spot on Ames Street, you’re welcome to use our front entrance, too.

The aerial photo shows both options.

We can’t wait to welcome you for authentic Indian comfort food!

What a night on River Street! Thank you to everyone who braved the smoke to visit us for "Art All Around." Seeing our Elk Rapids community enjoy Chef Anita’s culinary comfort art made the effort so worth it. ❤ What was your favorite dish from the pop-up? ✨

For those who are smoke sensitive, thanks for eating indoors at our restaurant. We kept it open just for you. ❤️

The Wednesday evening pop-ups have been challenging this year. No matter what happens next, we are here for you. 🙏

During the recent Mishigami 2026, an ultra-distance bike race around Lake Michigan, Jenny Terlinden stopped at my restaurant. At that time, she was the women's leader.

What an honor to meet her.

My chef-prepared Indian food powers cyclists! Wow!

Now that the new epic movie, “The Odyssey,” is playing in theaters, it is important to ask:

What if Homer forgot one stop?
After ten years at sea, Odysseus finally reached Elk Rapids… and discovered that even legendary heroes need comfort food.
