A great local spot for delicious food and helpful service. Fresh quality ingredients are made into good portions by skilled cooks. I am very lucky to have a top notch eatery in my neighbourhood. I watch other happy customers eat their meals with the same grin that is only face. A steady stream of delivery drivers keep the kitchen going at full speed. Magnificent fish pakora, followed by kheema mutter and garlic naan are my usual choices. I hope to work my way through the entire menu. read more

I've only eaten in once and it was lovely. I usually order delivery and I really enjoy the food. The lamb biryani is my favourite.

Delicious and authentic Indian food. It was full of flavour and was spicy (I asked for it spicy), and I was not let down by all the positive reviews at all. I ordered: Chicken tikka masala: it was amazing. The sauce was thick and the dish was packed with boneless, tender chicken, peppers and onions. It is the perfect amount to share with another person. The spices were incredible and really tasted authentic. The spiciness level was also perfect. Basmati rice: I was quite surprised of the portion that they give. It is a really big and deep bowl filled with rice. It tasted great pairing this with the tikka masala sauce. Garlic naan: the naan was incredible. You can taste the fresh garlic on it. Overall, I was very satisfied with the quality and quantity of the dishes. They are all reasonably priced and I would love to go back here. My only issue was that the dishes did not come out as hot as I would have liked. It was all warm but could've been hotter. read more

Lunch buffet on weekends is worth the visit! Great variety of hot Indian dishes with a salad bar and chutneys. Chai tea was well brewed with plenty of spices and flavor. Service is always friendly and attentive. This is our favorite "go-to" place for East Indian buffet. read more

I have went for the lunch buffet here many times; the food tastes great, but lacks variety

I am not an expert in Indian cuisine but have faith in a friend who has an Indian background and highly recommended this place. I tried it and it ranks up there with the best Indian food I have had including comparing to a highly acclaimed restaurant in Vancouver. We had lamb vindaloo, chicken tikka massala, cauliflower aloo?, and garlic shrimp with starter of fish pakora. Also had the naan bread basket. All were excellent. Heat was right for us as we said medium spice level. Flavours for the sauces were great. The only thing was the chicken was a bit on the cooked and dry side but not too bad. The lamb was very tender and not overly lammy. We really liked the fish pakora as an appetizer with the side sauce being a great dipping sauce. We went in on a Friday night and it was not terribly busy which we initially wondered why. And still do. Maybe because of all of the competition in the NE? Service was efficient and friendly. Lassi were very nice complement to the dinner as was the coconut and saffron rice. We plan to try again and explore the menu some more. They had some Hakka offerings also which we were curious about trying. Overall great value and tasty food. And they happen to have later hours on the weekend which makes it nice when looking for something to eat late at night. read more

We tried this restaurant because it had the highest rating on skip the dish and we are in love! We ordered the chicken chow mein which had the perfect medley of veggies and the chicken tikki masala (hot) it was so delicious!! I couldnt get enough sauce on my naan bread. Careful because spicy means spicy, but in the most flavorful way! We really enjoyed our meals. read more

Meal is delicious. I had the buffet tray. Very satisfying and neat environment The price is not bad too read more

The food here was great. I came for dinner and the food was very flavorful and the mango lassi was delicious.

The flavors are outstanding with a wonderful balance of flavors and very mild heat. The most okra was juicy and slimy, just the way okra should be served. The samosas we're flavorful and not overly cooked. The atmosphere is pleasant and while there were not a lot of people on Monday night, the take-out business is clearly booming. I saw at least 8-10 take home delivery orders. 5 stars withoit a doubt. read more

At the request of a follower this is my Haiku to indian food Gramasala dreams Tasty morsels in my mouth Curry sweats uh oh! I hope its right. There you go Dale. Anyways, the service here was excellent. Our server was a sweet young girl who gladly answered all our questions. Asked if we'd like more ' gravy' with the Tikka Masala to eat with the butter naan. I had delicious vegetarian paneer dish. Portions are large could be enough for two. The Aloo tikki starter almost blew me off my chair. Chana on a potatoe patty. The potatoe is the stream boat that delivers the chana into my mouth. 14.95 lunch buffet. Also they have take out read more

Great - quick and cheap Indian food! Nice waitress that helped us decide what to order and explained a few of the dishes. Had some teen age boys with us for their 1st Indian cuisine experience and they all loved it! Clean restaurant. We left full and happy! read more

Loved the jalfrezi and the aloo gobi, naan and pakora is good also. But beware I normally order hot but the hot here is more like extra or suicide hot standard. I may actually have to switch to medium or mild, it is too good to stop eating it but I know I'll pay for it later. read more

My wife and I usually try and stop in our once a year pass through Calgary (originally my hometown). Everything is so similar to British-Indian food, and so very well prepared. The dishes are very traditional Curry house and fresh. You can tell they pay attention to quality ingredients. I would mention that each entree is more than enough to share between 2 people especially if having naan (order the peshwari) and rice. read more

It was one of the most amazing buffets that I had in a long time. It had a good variety for appetizers and entree. It had Rasmalai, Gulaab Jamoon in desserts. The staff was really courteous and gave us Naan with the the buffet. I rarely go for Indian buffets and this did not disappoint me at all. The food was extraordinary to say the least. I loved everything about it. read more

Food was very good, only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because they passed through the restaurant with trash bags full of kitchen trash. Not the sight or smell I want when I'm eating. read more

Good Indian lunch buffets have been lacking lately in the NE (very odd). Clay Oven was my previous favourite; Hot Million now takes its spot! Their dining area is rightly sized and organized for mid to large sized parties (6-12) people at a table if needed. As soon as you walk in the aromas take you to the place you want to me, India. The gentleman who helped us was very friendly. In a lot of ethnic restaurants you get the cold shoulder, not at Hot Million. Our person was able to strike a conversation with us and it didn't feel awkward or contrived. We pounced on the buffet right away. Their salad bar is quite good with an assortment of fruits, veggies and cold pastas. There was a wide assortment of main dishes as well. From paneer to masala your taste buds will thank you. The pakora was amazing and butter chicken was there too! A lot of lunch places skip the butter chicken at lunch and only put it out at dinner. Not this place, they go all out. If you have a sweet tooth they have really good gulab jamun and ras malai out for the taking. I enjoy mixing these in with my savoury dishes to balance everything out. With a nice, clean and well decorated dining room, great food and good service it is well worth the $15 (approx) price. My mouth is watering right now for Hot Million! read more

Found this little gem after working through lunch one day. There's something nice and fitting about good Indian Cuisine on a slightly overcast day with some Calgary snowflakes. Arrived mid afternoon to no crowds. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Very large portions. Spice isn't too bad for those with sensitivities. I began with Paneer Tikka. A beautiful medley of roasted peppers and tomatoes and fresh onion with yoghurt marinated cheese then baked lightly in a tandoor. Very tasty. Light on spice and just enough to open your palate for the entree. When visiting a new place I like to stick to a good solid standard. Today was butter chicken, coconut rice and garlic and cilantro naan. The meal was an explosion of flavour profiles. The rice was perfectly cooked with a true blend of coconut. The butter chicken hit with a perfect rich tomato base tempered with the calming buttery notes and finishing with the familiar cream we have come to enjoy. The chicken was large in amount and perfectly tender. This dish was executed flawlessly and my compliments to the kitchen staff. The naan was by no means second best. It was the model pairing with the whole course meal which emphasized the texture against the rice and butter chicken. A fantastic meal, wonderful and attentive staff, clean restaurant and easily located. There is a 5% off your bill incentive on Yelp; however due to the great price point and exceptional food, I didn't feel the need to use it. I highly recommend Hot Million. read more

As a celiac there are not a lot of menu options here, there are about 6 dishes they can do GF. We end up here often with friends though because it is a consistent favourite. My partner says the fish pakoras are excellent and a little salty which he loves. I think their paneer is absolutely to die for. It come in large cubes, it melts in your mouth and is served generously. I also enjoy their mango lassi. Our friends especially love the Aloo Gobi (pls forgive me if I spelt that wrong!). read more

Nice atmosphere, music not too loud, and clean restaurant. Service is average. Cleanup of dirty dishes slow. Naan is complimentary and tasty. Good menu selections. I personally love the goat curry and papdi chat. Buffet price is good. Can't complain. read more

We stopped here while visiting Calgary. Picked it based on reviews and we were not disappointed. We est Indian frequently and this place is top shelf. Somosas came with yummy sauce. Marsala and Butter chicken were both really good. Nice naan too. Everything was flavorful. I asked for spicey and they got it perfect. Restaurant was stylish and clean. Can't wait to come back. read more

Enjoyed the cheese tomato dish! The staff was very polite and helped us make a great dinner selection. We will be back :) read more

We had a special request of the restaurant: to cook dishes with no salt in them due to a diet restriction. The restaurant obliged and the 3 dishes we ordered came out made with no salt! We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Okra Masala and the Chickpea Curry. There was basmati rice as well. The food was so tasty even without the salt! Amazing chef and we applaud the restaurant! We'll be back for more no-salt food. read more

I've only been here a couple of times and was blown away by the food! The flavour profiles are so in depth compared to the monotone, stereotypical flavours you find in your average Indian restaurant. If you're into Gol Gappas, theirs are probably the best I've had in Canada (I've tried amazing ones in India and these are up there!) read more

Indian food has a tendency to be one sided in flavour profiles which is why I find Hot Million to be outstanding. Each and every dish I've ever eaten here is complex and rich and flavourful. The owners are the nicest and friendliest around which only makes the dining experience here that much better. I'm here weekly and it never fails to impress me. read more

I went for a buffet with my friends. Pros: The service was good and the place is neat. All the dishes were hot. fresh naan served at table. A family run business and they are doing a good job at maintaining the freshness and quality of food. Cons: The buffet costs $15 but felt its slightly more for the varieties presented. The dishes were not spicy and good for people who cannot tolerate spicy food. Fruit and salad options were less. Have only one Rice variety. read more

Pretty good Indian food however they are pretty pricey compared to other restaurants in the NE. Although it is called hot million so perhaps it's for millionaires. read more

One of the best Indian food I've ever had! We stopped by Calgary after our flight and on our way to Fernie. We loved their lunch buffet! Service was fantastic, quality food: fresh and delicious. It beats some of Toronto's finest Indian restaurants. My favorite was the zucchini and the lamb. My friend loved their butter chicken.The Nan is to die for! It was the food we went for, not how fancy the interior is. if you are looking for a fancy interior, this may not be your place. read more

Great service no doubt, out of 3 entree i ordered one was great. Palak lamb and other two so so. Waitress was friendly and engaged us in conversation. Looked like a family owned restaurant. There was a conference going on for 20 odd people and they were so loud and no respect for ther tables around. Restaurant management did not botjer to tome them down. That is why its a 3 star. read more

Horrible name, amazing food. We went here for mother's day and it was the best Indian food we've had in several years. The naan and the pakora's were among the best in Calgary, challenging my former favorite Indian restaurant, Mango Shiva. My wife really wanted the Chat Papri, having not had it in a long time and it was delicious. We had an all veg meal, so I can't comment on their meat selections, but everything we had was excellent. Their prices were on par with most other restaurants we go to, and their portion size was above average. The server was very pleasant and the restaurant was clean and well maintained, though on the dark and bland side. The only sad part is we live in the deep southwest, but will definitely trek to the north east to enjoy the food they offer here. read more

I'm from Vancouver and have really missed Indian food since moving to central Alberta. From time to time I find some adequate curry here and there, but Hot Million is more than adequate. It's by far the best Indian food I've had in the five years that I've lived here. It tastes like food from back home. In fact it tastes better than food from back home. Hot Million may be the best Indian food I've had, ever. Their lunch buffet has an excellent selection of curries: vegetable, cheese, red meat, poultry, and fish. Spice was extremely mild but very flavourful which was good for my kids. If you like things spicier, just add some "green sauce" (don't know the name). Besides curry, there were salads, rice, naan, and papadum, and for dessert, rice pudding, gulab jamun, and fresh fruit. The meal was so good it left me truly sorry that I was no longer hungry after two plates. Their staff were extremely friendly and happily interacted with our kids. We'll be back next time we're in Calgary. read more

I think their lunch buffet is one of the best in Calgary, and very reasonably priced. A friend and I went on a Saturday and received some great service as well as some well prepared food. There was goat curry, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, fish pakoras, vegetable pakoras, and four vegetable madras dishes as well as the fresh salad bar with a couple of veggie yogurt dishes to sooth your palate, and gulab for dessert. Just a very nice variety of food to have for a nice lunch buffet. read more

This place was so good. I went here hungry and they didn't dissapoint! Everything seemed fresh, their staff was nice and most importantly it was a delicious buffet. The goat was my favorite dish. Best of all, it was a pretty good price. read more

This place is awesome! My Dad and I have been here quite a bit this month (and we don't live close). I found it a little hard to locate the first time because it is around the back squished next to Apple Bees, but once you find this place you'll have a hard time forgetting it. We always get great service, and the staff is so friendly. The buffet has a great selection of items from curries and lentils to desserts. The price of the buffet includes naan bread and a drink, and is very affordable! When you order the naan it come right out of the kitchen, fresh and hot! We've been looking for a good Indian buffet for a while and I'm happy to say this place hits the mark! We will definitely return! read more

Great lunch buffet for an inexpensive sat/sun meal at a smaller location. The highlight was their delicious garlic naan. I can't eat it but my lunch party said it was outstanding! Good quality food although the butter chicken had more tomatoe than I prefer. Very clean and friendly . read more

Not a lot of variety compared to what I'm used to for buffets, but everything was tasty. Had a mix of met and vegetarian dishes. The naan was soft and delicious. The pakora was exceptional. The service was great. Clean and quiet dining area. Clean bathrooms. Visited twice in 4 days. read more

We were so pleasantly surprised at this little gem we found, we have been to several Indian restaurant but none have compared to this one, the food was fresh, flavorful and delish !!! They didn't have the most items on there lunch bar but this is a case of quality over quantity! Very very very much worth the drive across town, we will definitely be going back!!! They are not afraid to show there spice! Very very good. read more

Tried the lunch buffet. The options were limited but good. The matar paneer and mutton curry were delicious. The unlimited Naan was great as well. For the price...about $15 a person, you can't go wrong. read more

The service here is phenomenal! The staff are friendly and attentive. The food is rich in flavour and taste. The spicy dishes keep the rich flavour without sacrificing taste for the sake of spicy heat. We eat at Hot Millions once a week and our kids love the staff and food. read more
