With Edmonton being a boring food waseland this restaurant is an absolute oasis. Unassuming in yet another strip mall, the selection and flavours are extraordinary! The very friendly server was a delight! I hope to rarely have to come back to this city but the next time I'm here I'll certainly be back! Thank you for the meal
August 2025
Food was great. We went for late dinner around 10 pm. Servers were nice and good attitude. The food was good. We had steamed rice. Butter chicken and tikka masala mild. And garlic naan. Was tasty and filling. There was leftovers this was for 4 adults and two kids.
July 2025
The food was good as usual..however, the service was very slow. It seems that they had more orders for takeaway, and hence, service was slow for dine in. I am still wondering why they have blocked all the large windows permanently with black films. Blinds would have been better as during sunny day or evening, it could be partially opened. It is so dark from outside that one can not even make out whether it is open or closed.
