Located in Canmore this is an interesting spot for anyone visiting banff and on travel. I always crave Indian food when on vacation and this was our spot for that. I was glad they had a vast menu with lots of veg and non veg options and service was nice and fast. We were fortunate to not have to wait for a table but when we left you can see a line starting to form on a late afternoon summer day. There are a few booth seating tables and overall a decent sit down vibe. We ordered quite a bit of food, between 3 mains (chicken tikka, butter chicken, paneer tikka all medium spice, which I thought was actually a bit too much) 2 apps including chicken tikka and pav bhaji, 4 garlic naans, and 4 lassis. I asked for chai initially but they told me that they don't make fresh chai the chai is from an instant mix packet which is a bit of a red flag.
The chicken appetizer and the lassis were all pretty solid and if I were to come back I would definitely order it again. I thought the pav bhaji unfortunately fell a bit flat and while the pav was well prepared the bhaji I wasn't too big of a fan of, would not recommend. All three entrees were also just alright, although I may have a bit of a high standard for Indian food. There was quite a bit of quantity across all our entrees, so were the taste lacked at least all of us were quite filled after a long tiring day of hiking so you do get a good amount of food for your buck. Nothing spectacular but a solid option if your are looking for Indian food in Canmore. read more
