Great service and great food. We stumbled across this place when we couldn't get into the…read morerestaurant we were planning on going to. No regrets! The food is authentic and delicious. We ordered the Aloo tiki plate which is a dish I've never had before. It's the Indian's version of potato pancakes! Very yummy and full of flavour! I also ordered the Tandoori Butter Chicken. This was amazing. Having the chicken cooked in the Tandoori oven brought out the flavours well. My husband ordered the Chicken Tikki Masala and asked for it to be very spicy. He was very satisfied with the spice level. The mango lassi was really good too. Not too sweet. They have a huge selection of dessert that I will try in the future. I was just too full after today's meal. Will definitely make the trip back someday.

Nothing fancy here except the flavours ... and therefore 4.25 stars! I ended up ordering 4 curries (two/dish): two specials that both included basmati rice and plain naan, at home we dug into chicken tikka masala, chicken cajun curry, chicken chipotle-mango curry, and a 5-bean all-veg curry. Flavours. Deep and rich, and varied to set them apart. Of amazing depth were especially the cajun and chipotle-mango! When Jay was cooking them, I could smell the accented spices used. As I cook 20-spice Chettinad chicken curry and spicy vindaloo at home, and know the smell of fresh spice cooking, his skill is borne out in textures, flavours and ... It's likely that his seasoned butter (ghee) and gravy base are just great, and wide-ranging enough to wonderfully underlay any added flavours. Decor. Matching his spartan outlook, super plain surroundings with only 1 small table for 2 and 3 window bar-type seats completes its barebones features. Although he likely has plied his profession in sumptuous surroundings, it's really about the food, isn't it? Price. An average of $10/meal, all of which come with 2 curries each. Portions were large enough to stuff us, and enough left over for a small lunch later. For sure offering a sizable tip is so appropriate! Jay claims that he's the only true Gujarat establishment in the Calgary area. This guy is for real. Imagine making 4 separate very distinct and yummy curries in a mere 20 minutes. Provided we already have our seasoned oil and base gravy, most of us would still be labouring after 45 minutes...

It's a very small location with one table for two and another 3 seats at the window. Very simple, a takeout place. But if you stay, you get to eat out of these metal trays that make you wonder if you are in prison. But there is no chance they would serve such good food in prison... so where am I? Flavor heaven? The flavor of the food is to die for! Takes me right back to India! The menu is super small but great; you order a combo of one or two curries which comes with rice and naan. Yes, of course you order two curries! In fact, the price for the combo is so small, you should order two dishes, that way you get to try four curries, can it get any better? There are some options for your sweet tooth as well. Wanna throw a flavor heaven party? They do catering!!! A family run business, the man takes the orders, the woman cooks, and the kid plays behind the counter :) Go try it!!!

I had a craving for Indian food and so I walked over from my office to give this restaurant a try. I had the lunch combo as I wasn't hungry enough to have the buffet. For the combo, you basically get to pick one item from their buffet and they give you some rice and naan and call it a combo. I had the butter chicken, which was good... not the best I've had in Calgary but good enough. The portion size was decent and I ended up not eating all the naan that was given. Overall not a bad place to eat given the good value.

By the time we were done, the rice showed up. Compared to other buffet, that I have already eaten at, this place is worse. Zaika Biryani House, doesn't have all the stuffs that supposed to be served. That cow foot stew had lots bones and few pieces of meat and it was old. That was the special meal that night as the owner said "funny". All in all, I won't recommend anyone to go there unless, they bring required changes.

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.
