I ordered pickup from The Masala Tree a while back. In terms of food, I tried their Butter Chicken,…read moreMasala Murga, and regular Naan. The butter chicken and naan were a bit disappointing - butter chicken was not very creamy/buttery/fragrant and the naan felt quite flat/dry. The masala murga was pretty good though -(good flavour, nicely fried)...I'd give them 7.5/10

Masalaz is another hidden gem. Hidden behind a McDonald's, I'm not sure how you would even spot it…read moreif you don't know about it. I've been meaning to check out Masalaz when I was in the mini strip mall a few months ago. One of my co-workers, who is Indian, highly recommended it so that really pushed me to go. They specialize in South Indian cuisine, specifically dosas. We came on Saturday for an early dinner but pretty much had the place to ourselves. The staff here are super friendly and we chatted with one of the son's who was keen to converse with us. Very genuine guy. They offer buffets for a really reasonable price. It's $13.99 on weekdays and $15.99 on weekends. That is cheaaaaaaaaap! - Mango lassi ($3.49) - we decided to get one to share but L ended up wanting to get her own after she had a sip. She's never had one before! Missing out on the good things in life. The mango lassi was light, creamy and just sweet enough. - Papadum - not sure if the papadum came with one of our dishes but I think it was complimentary. Whetted our appetite while we waited for the main event. - Mysore masala dosa ($9.99) -this dosa came out differently than I'm normally used to but dammmmmmmmmmn, the filling was absolutely delicious. The potato inside had the perfect amount of heat and the spice mixture made you want to immediately eat another bite. - Vegetable biryani ($9.99) - the biryani was a solid choice; just look at those fried garlic bits. Harmoniously well balanced and flavourful. - Uthappam ($10.49) - Indian pizza made with rice and lentil flour. I've only had uthappam one other time in Calgary (see Raj Palace). This one was much different but just as good. Light, fluffy and a touch of sweetness from coconut flakes. - Vegetable masala curry ($8.49) - rich, creamy masala curry but not too heavy. Good variety of vegetables. I like how it's completely different than what you're normally used to with northern Indian food. - 3x Roti ($1.99 each) - three roti's were waaaaay too much for the three of us but we powered through all of them. Not a single piece of roti was left unscathed. - Gulab jamun ($2.99) - milk balls soaked in sweet syrup. Not too sweet; two to share was the perfect way to end our meal. I really appreciated how hot and fresh these were. There's an abundance of Indian places south side but this one is worth checking out. Next visit, we'll come back to try out the buffet. And I don't even like buffets!

The aloo cauliflower came plentiful and spicy. A really good accompiment to the butter chicken which was my husband's favourite. Rice and naan were good but usual. I would go here again to sit and chat, but it wouldn't be the first place that I would go to indian food. Kinda more on the expensive side without the flavours reaching thier capacity.

Decent spot with a mix of hits and misses. We came in on a Saturday afternoon and were the only…read moreones there, which was a bit surprising. On the bright side, service was quick and it was quiet. The tandoori shrimp had great flavor and a nice char. Butter chicken momos were rich and satisfying, and the veggie Hakka was solid--light and flavorful. The tandoor chicken momos, though, were way too spicy for me--heat kind of overwhelmed everything else. I also wish I'd gone with steamed momos instead of fried--might've enjoyed the texture more. The masala chai at the end hit the spot--spiced well and not too sweet. Overall, it's not a must-visit, but definitely worth checking out if you're curious about Indian fusion. Mention this review for extra smiles.

I've tried several dishes from New Gurkha Indian Restaurant & Bar over the years, including Butter…read moreChicken, Lamb Rogan Josh, Coconut and Regular Naan. Their Butter chicken is decent and the flavour is stronger than other places. The naan is decent as well. What stands out the most are the coconut naan and lamb rogan josh - The coconut naan is always rich with coconut and the lamb rogan josh has good flavour, good cuts of meat and overall good ratio/balance. The only potential improvement is to have the pieces of meat to be more consistently sized...so I'd give them 9/10

The chicken was tender and juicy, though there were only about 10 cubes or less of meat in there plus a dollop of side pickled vegetables (eg. radish) and a lemon wedge. The flavour was there but the portion was definitely not. Maybe I ordered the wrong item as this was an appetizer, so the portions may be smaller by default. I'm willing to give this another shot.

Thamel Bistro looses a star because on Facebook they had an event called Rendevouz Nepal with no…read moredescription on it. But I know it was an event because they reminded me of it the day of. So despite the fact it was one of the coldest days of the year, we bundled up hoping for Nepalese warmth. What did we get? Nothing. We were the only ones there. No music. No dancing. No lights. No decorations. Nothing I feel wrong leaving. So we sat down and as the server brought us our menus, I brought out the Facebook add and said, "Is this happening?" All he said was, "yes we make, we make." And left. We ordered noodles for our kid. Two Thali platters and a momo sampler platter. Here was another issue my kids noodles came in 10 minutes and ours in 30. I am not sure why, we were the only ones there. Food was excellent, as usual. When we were almost done, another couple came in and said, "I thought there was something going on?" Yep me too.

Menu is a one pager; start & share, favourites, momo, mains, Nepali sets and desserts. - 2x Nepali spiced chiya ($2.50) - came out piping hot. Very enjoyable. - Momo sampler ($19.99) - opted for the pork. My favourite were the steamed momos. The Nepalese momo sauce paired nicely. - Aloo bodi tama ($12.99) - strange that you don't get a bowl of rice. Very mild curry. - Khaja ($18.99) - chickpeas were the best part of the dish. Okay but nothing particularly memorable. Decent Nepalese eats at TE.
