    Take out butter chicken and garlic naan
    Miss Lady ..

    We ordered the butter chicken and garlic naan. It was good. Not too spicy. The naan were big n soft. We wanted to order samosas but it would have taken 10 minutes to make. I suppose that's a good thing though, they would be fresh. We declined at this time due to time constraints. I would recommend this place

    Excellent Indian (well, technically Pakistani) restaurant. Everything was very fresh and well prepared. The spice level was just right. The place was packed with people from India, thus, you can rest assure that the food is authentic. Just typing this is making me hungry. Think I will go back for more... Get the grill combo! Update: am impressed with their vegitarian dishes. had the green peas and paneer curry, two thumbs up!

    Great big doughy naans

    Got a butter chicken (for the kids) and a beef madras for me, along with some naan. The kids liked theirs but it was a bit spicy for them. My beef madras was great. The naan were BIG, soft and doughy made as we stood there. Reminded me of the naan I ate in Pakistan. Fast service, fast to the table. Affordable. A gem of a hole in the wall. My favourite kind of surprise.

    Lunch special again

    3.5* (minus 1/2 star only cuz I get thirsty afterwards....) Lunch special $7.95. (about a 10 min preparation time) includes: pakora, butter chicken, fresh made naan, safron rice, and some veggie thingy. Very tasty! and their kabobs look delicious as well. :)

    I use to go out for lunch all the time but lately I haven't gone out for lunch because I'm trying to be more 'healthy' and I bring my own lunches to work. I work in the NE so lunch options are normally limited to fast food joints as one hour lunch just doesn't seem long enough. Even though I don't eat out that often, I still search Yelp! because I enjoy reading review and trying new places. Indian food. That is what I have been craving for a long time. I could be flakey when people ask me to go out for lunch because I'd rather go to the gym but this time I chose a restaurant and set a date so I know I wouldn't flake out. Spice hut is located in a strip mall area, semi hidden, right across from the KFC in the Hunterhorn shopping area NE. It was around 11:45am on a Wednesday afternoon when we arrived. Before entering, I pause and said "wow this place does look pretty ghetto...it must be amazing then!" because most hole in the walls are...at least for me! Surprisingly, it wasn't busy at all! There were only two other people dining at this hour. Spice hut is a pretty small restaurant with only 7 tables - 2x4 tops, 2x6 tops and 3x2 tops and a visible kitchen area. From reading the review, we immediately knew what we wanted but still glanced at the menu. The menu doesn't have the lunch special in it but there is a poster on the window outside as well as a small poster inside that promotes the $7.95 lunch special. The lunch special includes: butter chicken, curried veggies, miz vegi pakoras, vegetable samosa, rice and a piece of naan bread. It also came with two sauces: a medium hot sauce and a sweet yogurt sauce. For drinks, we ordered waters to which we received a jug of water and plastic cups (a little ghetto ;)). I had to order a mango lassi which is a traditional indian beverage which is normally made from yogurt, water and mango pulp. It's a perfect pairing for spicy indian food - it helps cool your tongue and it's pretty tasty. Our food came out pretty fast and I got super giddy as per usual. Of course I had to snap 100 pics before I dug in. I went for a mixture of the butter chicken sauce and rice ...bliiiiissss! It was exactly what I wanted. It was tasty, the butter chicken wasn't anything AMAZING but it was good. The butter chicken was a mild spice which was nice for me (I don't like toooo spicy). While I was eating, I could see them preparing some naan so I asked the guys if they wanted to share an order of garlic naan..but before they could answer, I had already gone up to the front and ordered it :) hehe. It didn't take long for them to prepare garlic naan which came in four pieces. The pakora is a deep fried vegetable snack, there are two pieces and they have a nice chewy crunch and a slight onion flavor, yummy. The vegetarian samosa was crunchy with a mash potato texture inside. Overall everything was really tasty, Steven and Parker literally wiped their plates clean. You definitely get a bang for your buck with this lunch special. Okay, so now you know my secret.....$7.95 for *see photo* all of that delicious food? It's FANTASTIC! You definitely get your money's worth here. Go...now!!

    Chicken Vindaloo,  Nehari, naan

    I was pleasantly surprised by Spice Hut. It's tucked away in Huntington Hills. I had been driving around for a while, hungry and undecided as to what I was craving when I saw the name. The place is sparsely decorated but clean. Utilitarian tables and chairs that you would find in small take-out places fill the seating area. Menu is broken down to the usual sections with a middle section of their specialties. I opt to try the Nehari, beef shanks slowly cooked in special spices for hours. The proof is in the eating with tender morsels of melt-in-your-mouth beef, the flavour is very subtle. The heat is there though. I was warned that both my dishes were very spicy. The Nehari is not as spicy as the Vindaloo. The chicken Vindaloo packed the real Vindaloo heat but it was a little (just a smidgen) too tomatoey for me. The chicken pieces were nice and tender. All in all good Indian food. The prices are extremely reasonable with the Nehari at $9.99, and @8.99 for the Chicken Vindaloo. I ordered 2 naan @ $1.50/ea. The naan was a little dry but it looked really good coming out of the tandoori. I'll try rice or Roti next time. Parking is plentiful.

    Skewer platter and lunch special - both were tasty

    Great food for very reasonable prices. Slightly awkward setting for a first timer but owner was very welcoming after initial confusion. Standard Indian food but great naan and roti. Awesome for quick takeout or a fast dinner.

    This place seems to be off of a lot of people's radar and I find that very unfortunate. It is quite…read morenew, having opened sometime in 2023 (I think) but judging by its other reviews it has already made quite the impression on those who've found it. Upon taking a quick, curious look online at this place after my first meal, I was surprised to find that this place is not (yet) regarded in discussion about Calgary's finest Indian restaurants, as the meal I'd enjoyed had easily suggested that to me. From my perspective, the name of this business is exactly the service it provides. I did not recognize much of the menu outside of what is normally on an Indian restaurant in North America, aka about 50%. I used Google for a lot of the dishes because I've only ordered online, but other reviews have said that the staff are very friendly and are happy to take any questions. It is consistently amazing, quality food at a reasonable price. The menu is large but doesn't seem to buckle under its size whatsoever, everything I've had had been wicked fresh, implausibly flavourful and impeccably quality. I hope this place finds a lot of success! It is still young but I believe it has the makings of a legend among Calgary restaurants. Take the Passage.

    Excellent Food and Service. The owner is passionate about serving authentic and good Indian food…read more Their homemade ice cream is tastes awesome. Overall a great experience for us.
