Sambar was average. - Chilly paneer ($14.95) - flavours were subtle but nice to share. - Karavalli mutton curry ($16.95) - goat was good.

We visited this restaurant last night Dec 2023, two of us had been here before our wives had not…read more We started off with the Chicken Dolsa, recommend by our server. Let me tell you, this was the most favourite and talked about dish during and after. And believe me this was enough to serve 4 people a good portion, trying the three dipping sauces give it an excellent flavour, but try it by itself first! Also, ask for a knife, J know were are post COVID, this is one of those dishes that you tear off, though my wife cut her piece with a spoon, we got a knife after that. The food came quickly, and our additions and requests were handled quickly and efficiently by the staff. Now to look at it all the curries have the same sort of look you them, I assure you, each and everyone had a delicious and different flavour. Dining in Canada for over 20 years now, I have found that restaurants have reduced the heat on dishes, this is not so at The Rock Fort (IMHO). I did not order the Mango Lassi, but was told it was delicious. The Lamb was the spicy dish, the other couple are Asian, and they were enjoying the spice level of the lamb dish. The meats were tender, moist and delicious, the Naan was so good two more were ordered to help sop up the tasty sauces. The restaurant has tables and booths , both were clean and no issues were found. You can have a view of the kitchen to watch the chefs cook (glass partitioned). We look forward to revisiting this restaurant to try different Dosas and I really want to try their Kabobs. Try this if you have not been there, it is worth it!

Hers, veggie and sweet (coconut milk). They were both positively decadent. The sauces were rich and smooth, without a hint of the oil breaking. Lamb was tender and succulent, her veggies were a step past al dente, which is fine. Sides - 4/5 We were surprised to see options of rice or naan to attend the dish, so yea each opted for one. The rice was well cooked, sprinkled with saffron and some roasted caraway seeds. The naan was fine, though probably had some excess oils on it making it a notable greasier experience that I think I am used to. Still, delicious way to finish up the sauce. This is a great place we feel luck to have found on a trip and we surely would love to find work in Calgary if only to frequent this place for lunch and their great combos. I don't know if I'd travel the whole 1200 miles just to eat here again, but I would consider it.

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... Phone your order in ahead by 20 minutes to find out the daily specials (usually 6 per day) that change as per his larger menu. Get over there, folx, as his dishes are some of the best in AB!

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!!!

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.
