We felt bad because it was very busy and she was doing it all herself. We were quite impressed with how she juggled everything. Food was really tasty. I got the Aloo Gobi and we also ordered basmati rice, bread, veggie samosas, and chicken tikka masala. Great flavor, beware that medium spice is pretty spicy even for a spice lover like me! If I could give any recommendation it would be for the ambiance (I'm not going to take a star away though). The song was on a loop and almost put us in a trance of relaxation lol Not necessarily a bad thing but maybe switching it up could be nice throughout the meal. Also the location itself looks a bit dated, great for the homey feel but you can see it needs a bit of a facelift (water damage on ceiling, tears in chairs, etc). I also think if Vaani or Raj had help up front to keep up with cleaning it would feel more welcoming. We asked for the table to be cleaned again as it had leftover food/spills when we sat down. Also the floor and walls look like they haven't been attended to in a while. Thank you for a great experience and would highly recommend, especially if you're ordering take away!

The entire Thind family demonstrates a true legacy of genuine five-star service in so many ways -…read morenot just in always tending to our needs for a very personable, professional dining experience in their restaurant, but by providing every option one may consider. From dine-in, buffets, and an extensive menu of delicious, freshly made choices, to takeout, delivery, or catering an event, they excel at it all. Beyond their business ventures, their generous charitable contributions to the community at large - not to mention graciously offering meals on various special occasions to those who truly cannot afford them - leave a positive impact on everyone who crosses their path. Speaking of catering, we were absolutely blown away by our recent experience with the Mehtab Indian Restaurant Catering Service. We ordered a large home buffet for an event at our Airbnb in Springbank, which is a good half-hour drive from Cochrane. We were amazed when Jag, the owner, personally delivered our order, arriving right on time. He didn't just drop off the food - he came in and provided the most excellent, professional service by fully setting up the entire buffet. His attention to detail and his dedication to driving all the way out to ensure everything was perfect were incredible. It made our event feel effortless and truly special. And the food... WOW! It was absolutely outstanding. Every single dish was a 10/10, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. This is next-level customer service and quality. Thank you, Jag, and the entire Mehtab team, for making our gathering so perfect!

This restaurant looks to be loved by the local community. I walked in late afternoon on a Friday…read moreand it was packed. Fortunately, they had some outdoor seating available. Due to the packed restaurant, it took some time to get the waiter's attention, but he gave good recommendations and we didn't have to wait too long for the food to arrive. They gave a lot of cheese in the Kadai Paneer (red dish) and I loved the sweet and slightly tangy tomato base. The Saffron Special Chicken Curry (green dish) leaves a spicy and slightly dry mouthfeel, but the chicken itself is not dry. One portion of rice should be enough for two people and two entrees.

We visited Banff for the first time all the way from LA and were craving lamb biryani. We found…read moreZyka on Yelp and decided to try it, and it did not disappoint! The food was amazing, especially the lamb biryani. We even asked if they could lessen the spice, then realized the yogurt served with it helps balance the heat perfectly. The ambiance was also really nice, cozy, and welcoming. The staff were all very attentive and polite, but special thanks to Mark for helping us with our orders and recommending some great spots around Canmore. Overall, this place is definitely a must-try for first-time visitors!

The vindaloo was not for me. I went home and added some cream to it and it tasted like butter chicken. That being said, the curry chicken was so god. The chicken is moist. The flavors are just perfection. Mom also loved the baighan Bartha. This one is a bit sweeter than other versions I have had but it is equally as good. I really liked it. We got medium spice and it wasn't too hot. The butter chicken was also delicious. They had appetizers with that thin crisp bread and the green mint and red tangy sauce. It was really good. Btw they give a lot of Naan. As in one order of naan is plenty for two people. Overall I really like this place and if I'm ever in Calgary would definitely be coming back!
