ZYKA was delicious!…read more I was a little nervous trying Indian food in Banff especially when I saw I had to take stairs to get to the restaurant. You're literally transported into a booming restaurant with savory scents and smoking dishes! I was worried because the waiter didn't write anything down but everything came out exactly as we ordered. It was so exciting to see the dosas flying out of the kitchen. I've never tried a dosa before and I'm really glad I waited until coming here. We got a potato dosa which is a crepe shaped bread full of potato and dipping sauces. I would go back for this alone. Then going to all of there tikka!!! The plates came out smoking and all the meat was tender and packed with flavor! The last thing I'll note was the masala dishes!! THE ROG AND JOSH is a must! But if you have a hike tomorrow I would stick with the dosa or tikkas!

Hope this helps.

On the first day, we ordered vegetarian- Paneer lababdaar, dal tarka, chili chicken and garlic naan. Today, we ordered garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, chilli chicken and chicken hot and garlic. Both chilli chicken and chicken hot nd garlic were exactly the same dishes but no complaints since you won't find it anywhere! It transported me to my childhood indo-chinese flavors! Chicken tikka masala was amazing with fresh flavors and nothing overly tangy or smelly. It was delicious and garlic naans were the best ever! This place must be on your list!

Staff were so friendly impatient with us even when they were so busy most nights. We were creative and got something different to try each night and we liked everything. Something else we like more than others and would get over and over again and that includes the mushroom ravioli, cheesy gnocchi, the purple haze smoothie and kimchi burger. And I believe my husband really enjoyed his legume burger and I enjoyed my falafel salad however I substituted my falafel's for tofu. Ambience is great not too loud indoor and outdoor seating.

The absolute WORST experience eating Indian food in my life... we had to send our entrees back…read moretwice because they were over salted or with no salt at all. We had dahi puri and gol gappa, only to find out each puri had 3 chana and 1 small piece of potato, with absolutely zero flavor. The restaurant staff was ok to get the dishes remade, but came out watery... and it ruined the whole experience. One thing to comment is their naan were soft and tasty, hence the 1 star. The staff also charged us for the naan they clearly agreed to replace as the curry's were getting remade... Do not go to this place for Indian food in Canmore.

Everything came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. Also, the garlic naan was perfect. The butter chicken was excellent, and the eggplant bharta was probably my favorite dish of the night--it had a great smoky flavor and was something a little different from what I usually order. The vegetable samosas were perfectly crispy and made a great starter. The service was friendly, and everyone made us feel welcome. It's always great finding a local restaurant that gets both the food and the hospitality right. Looking forward to coming back and working our way through the rest of the menu.

I also ordered garlic naan as a side to scoop up the extra sauce from the poutine. If we ever come back to Alberta, we'd agreed that we'd love to come back to try some other things on the menu.
