We stumbled upon this place while needing something to eat quickly and it may have been our best meal while in Banff. The butter chicken was silky and delicious. The palak paneer was super flavorful. The curries were delicious and the service was outstanding. Definitely recommend going here if you're wanting some Indian food in town.

Ankit and Maulik were truly exceptional with their service and hospitality.
If you’re looking for some good authentic Indian food, you absolutely must visit!
Love from Vancouver!!

Who'd have known that you can find excellent Indian food in Banff? Reasonably priced and generous portions (both being a rarity in Banff), this place is definitely worth a visit. It does get busy at lunch time and you might have to wait a bit for a table, since seating is limited inside. However I dare to say that this might be one of the best, most down to earth, restaurants to visit in Banff.
