After reading some previous reviews noting poor flavour in their butter chicken and portion sizes i felt compelled to write my own review. After traveling quite extensively both for work and personally i have eaten in restaurants all across the globe. This little butter chicken co tucked away in northern alberta is quite the treasure. I felt the atmosphere was great and the meals were astounding. There were many options on the menu for all walks of life. The young wait staff were well trained and respectful and the owner was a pleasure to converse with. In a sea of fast food chains becoming an everyday staple for the working man who lives life on the road, this small restaurant breathes a breath of fresh air with modest pricing and great food. Keep up the good work and i wish you many prosperous years to come.
Been here multiple times with coworkers and my significant other. The food never Disappoints. Lots of different options and also very good service. 5 stars all around. Butter chicken is a must try! Although the steak is great also.
I had the butter chicken special. The naan was fantastic and probably the best I’ve had. I’ll be honest I don’t recall ever having butter chicken but this was great. The sauce was like a tomato bisque- silky and tasty. The rice was flavoured with great spice was cooked to perfection. My husband had the New York steak and fries. The steak was seasoned nicely. The fries were above your average fry. For dessert we had the rice pudding and the Gulab jamun cheesecake. Both were fantastic. It was a super tasty meal at an affordable price. We’ve had the same quality of meal at much higher prices for sure.
Just went with the butter chicken. It was all good and comes with all breast meat, if you want dark meat, just ask and they'll adjust. Beer was cold
