Slightly denser, not as flaky. - Masala rava dosa ($11.95) - light, crispy texture. Sambar was average. - Chilly paneer ($14.95) - flavours were subtle but nice to share. - Karavalli mutton curry ($16.95) - goat was good. Well balanced. - Achari fish tikka (halibut) ($17.95) - tender but a touch dry. Mint chutney was great. - Prawn dosa ($14.95) - prawn filling was tasty. - Plain uttapam ($11.95) - standard fare.

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!

Wow such delicious and affordable Mumbai street food in Calgary! The service was excellent, and the…read morewaitress took the time to explain a lot of the items on the menu to us. My favorites were the dahi puri and the aloo tikki chaat. Dahi Puri (5/5): uses puri shells filled with a creamy yogurt and chutneys, the flavors just blended so well together Aloo Tikki Chaat (5/5): crispy potato patties topped with chutneys, perfect mix of sweet and tangy Pani Puri (3.5/5): weren't as flavorful as ones I've had in nyc, also used to them coming premade with the chickpeas inside Butter Chicken (4/5): not as flavorful as i would've liked, but pretty standard and comes with a lot of chicken! Garlic Naan (4/5): very buttery but still could be softer Vada Pav (4/5): their signature dish with deep fried potato patties inside the bun and topped with spices, which were very delicious. I'm just not the biggest fan of super heavy foods but I think most people will like this one. I was also surprised by the buns because they feel very Western, almost like buttery brioche buns. Pav Bhaji (3/5): pav buns with vegetable curry on the side, I would probably prefer naan over the pav (maybe I'm just more used to it), and the curry didn't stand out to me. We probably left the most of this dish uneaten. Overall, very delicious and would definitely come back if I lived here! Every dish was also around $10 USD, which is much more affordable compared to nyc where these dishes can be double the price. Would love to try the bhel puri and tikki chole next time!

I hope to work my way through the entire menu.

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.

So wonderful to have this new Indian restaurant just a short walk away…read more The food is excellent and very affordable. The menu is very broad and lots of vegetarian and gluten-free free options. Tables are well spaced apart and they follow proper Covid protocols. Our wait was very friendly and took very good care of us. Although they've been open for five months, there were a few logistical cliches. Our starter and most of the mains came together and the rice came toward the end of the meal, but I'm overlooking those items as I'm sure they are trying to keep staff to a minimum these days. We had the chicken wings, aloo gobi, fish tikka masala, saffron rice and two orders of butter naan (so good!). They're not licensed so with two cokes this was $30/per person including tip and plenty of left overs. Definitely will be back.

If you want Gujarati Indian street food, come here!…read more Although the owner/chef Jay has apparently worked in high-end western hotels before, you'd never know it until you sink your teeth into his plainly-adorned but delicious creations. 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!!! A family run business, the man takes the orders, the woman cooks, and the kid plays behind the counter :) Go try it!!!
