I have been to Safari Grill several times,including for lunch today. The owner served us today and he has always been exceptionally polite and accomadating. The food is great and the decor is fun and interesting. I have been here with both large and small groups and I would recommend Safari Grill as a wonderful culinary experience.
Exceptional!
Safari Grill is a great place for very tasty exotic meal choices at an average price for a good restaurant. Interesting, unique and comfortable ambience with great service. The boss is a quiet humble guy who can recommended excellent dishes. I'll often make the trip from SW Calgary for this special dining experience. If you want something unique and impressive for a business lunch or a special night out with a date or friends, this restaurant is definitely one to choose. One of my favourite places to eat in the city.
Amazing place with amazing food! I extremely recommend this place to everyone, they have the most delicious food and the most friendly environment/service. I would definitely go there again and again..
This place is one of the best restaurant I've ever been in Calgary. They have the best customer service and the most tasty food. All the workers there are extremely friendly. Moreover, their food is personally my favourite type of food. I totally recommend everybody to go check this place out, I'm sure you won't regret it.
I was referred to this restaurant by a close friend of mine and it was a blessing! I went with my family and we ordered beef fusion ribs & mogo to start with. For the main dish we had prawns coconut masala with rice and naan. I must say the food was very delicious. I have not had such food that would satisfy your hunger in any other Indian or Indo-African restaurant. It was served hot, staff was very friendly and the ambience was also very welcoming and cozy. Worth the price we paid for. Definitely going back!
I've been here before but I just started on Zomato and wanted to put my 2 cents in. We started with the Mogo, extra crispy of course and only way to have it. I don't remember the portions being this large, but was enough and crispy. We then ordered the hot beef ribs, I don't like the taste of meet so I settled to try a couple. We ordered the Chicken and it of course was my favourite when I ate meet. My date of course let me have a bite or two until I could taste the meat. I then ordered the fried tilapia and it was delicious as always. I don't normally eat Tilapia but fried fish anything is always a winner.
I've been coming here awhile now and although my diet has changed, there are still many options for me to choose from if you don't eat meat.
If you like crocodile they have safari kabobs on the weekend.
Service is friendly as usual. They should have finger bowls at the end though, cause no one eats with cutlery here.
Awesome food! I really appreciate the vegetarian section on the menu, it can be hard to find a place that has a decent selection for people who don't want to eat meat. They did give me the wrong order, but doesn't matter, it was still really yummy! Definitely recommended for anyone looking for something a little different

God bless you and your establishment.
Man I love the beef short ribs. I could eat two orders by myself! This place is quick and the food is very tasty. Also try the masala mogo!!
Excellent food, great service. Try the sweet and spice ribs.
Great food. Great service
Was the November dinner club pick
Every dish was great
Ordered Masala Mogo, Samosa as starters and individual entrees, no complaints. Also knowledgeable on wine list.
I would return.
Amazing African food. I had an amazing experience at safari grill. The food was out of this world and the service was very professional. The staff was very friendly and I felt welcomed. I have been to many African restaurants in various Canadian cities, but nothing beats the food at safari grill. I highly recommend their 'masai goat ya rift valley'. Five stars!
Excellent food!!! We ordered a lot of food for the table and were pleased with all of it! Wings, pili pili fries, bbq chickens, butter chicken, lentils, eggplant, rice, roti, salmon, salad. All amazing. Only thing that I would not order again was the beef vindaloo the beef was very chewy/grimey
Overall amazing experience. Great servers, cool atmosphere.
Tusker beer is highly recommended along with castle.
Looking forward to going again !
We took a group of 20 people to the Safari Grill in March 2014. The food was incredible, the service was excellent. The ambience in the restaurant is amazing. Plate presentation is fabulous. A must go!
I'd return. Food was tasty enough....I didn't make the selections so would be willing to try it again and give it another go. I can't say that anything was spectacular but then again....I need to do more research
Great new tastes. We've driven by this place so many times and finally decided to try it. Dinner began with a mango lassi - it was as thick as pudding. We started with two appetizers - masala mogo and beef short ribs. I really liked the crispy cassava and the sauce! My husband had the masai goat ya rift valley complete with rice and rotti. I had the malai korma with chicken, rice and naan. Very enjoyable. The service was great and the owner stopped by a couple of times to check on our meal. We will definitely be back to try other dishes.
Went for lunch before Christmas with coworkers. Food was amazing and service friendly. I am sure we will all be back. Ribs are a must try!
So good!. Amazing place. Have been eating here for over 15 years on a weekly basis. True comfort food. great value for cash. the owner is there everyday taking pride in his product, have a tusker sit back and enjoy! must try the beef ribs.
Simply superb. Great service with a fast lunch menu or take your time having supper there. Try the halibut!
"Feels like home". We took my father-in-law here during father's day because he used to stay at Tanzania. He loved it specially the Samaki(deep fried Tilapia fish) says it "tastes like home"
I am soooo impressed!! The food is cooked and presented with great care and the flavors are so fragrant and unique. The portions are big too. Awesome decor, really modern and you can tell that the owners have pride in their restaurant.
Very cute little place with a nice atmosphere. Service was helpful and friendly. Food was delicious! Wish I could have tried more dishes.
A friend and I were searching all over for an Indian restaurant on Sunday and couldn't find one open anywhere so we decided to try Safari Grill. Best decision ever! We walked in and were amazed by the decor, zebra print, elephant paintings, it was all so authentic it seemed! We were greeted right away. Sat at the table and had water instantly. The waitress was able to answer all of the questions we had and was helpful with our decisions! We started out with the chicken samosas and though they weren't my favorite the different sauces we got made them delicious. We ordered the coconut chicken curry and the kuku masala (I think that's what it was called). And oh wow! The flavors! So good. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. In fact I did, I told almost everyone I saw that day after that they HAD to try it! Will be back soon to try more!
Great food! Exciting atmosphere, zebra print everywhere! We had the goat vindaloo, coconut curry shrimp, vegi samosas and chocolate lava cake with pistachio kulfi. Highly recommend!
Chicken Livers!!. Just tried the new maini (chicken) at safari, it was amazing! This is a must try dish.
Something New. Looks like Safari has finally expanded their menu with new many items to give the menu more items to choose from. Great service as usual at a reasonable price.
Just tried safari's original Ndizi na Nyama, it's an amazing dish! It reminded me of Dar-Es-Salaam
Mdosi! Great food...best restaurant in town..great food...absolute ambiance....unreal staff....I recommend this restaurant to everybody who likes to enjoy the world class food!!!!!
Great. We both really enjoyed the food and the room.
To AKS. Sounds like you are trying to get away with not paying for the food you ate. Shame on you. This Restaurant rocks! Love the food and atmosphere! The Staff has always been pleasant, courteous and fair. I will continue to frequent this Restaurant and highly recommend it to everyone that has good taste in food.
Great!. Excellent customer service, great flavour. Many options to choose from. Been there four times and will continue going. It's a fantastic place. :)
My Last Meal Would Be Here. The food was AWESOME!!!!
i cant help myself from going back to safari grill..
whenever i go to safari i am so impressed on the service...
smiling face and friendly people.
Absolutely Fantastica. I was there last weekend and the food, decor and service is absoloutely fantastic. The Samaki fish has to be the best fish i've had in canada. It truly reminds me of home and the service was awesome too. 5 stars all day.
I was there today, the food was great and surprisingly cheap too. The owner was super friendly with me and my colleagues. The funny thing is that as the name goes, it actially does remind you of the kind of service you will get if you were on some vacation, you know the traditional music, people and relaxed too. Okay thats enough. Its a very good restaurant. I give it 5 star.
To good for words! Go there...go there right now!
Butter Chicken. Awesome ...came down here for lunch for a meeting and it was very good.
No Shortage Of Flavour. Great eclectic place with zebra prints and Bollywood music. Heavily spiced and extremely flavorful menu. The ribs starter was excellent (one of their most popular), and the Serengeti platter and Tandori chicken were outstanding. Food served very hot (temperature wise) and with bold spices. Friendly and helpful staff made it awesome.
Ok decor great food good service I would totally recomend this place some of the menu items were unavailable but the BBQ platter was yum
It was a fun night exploring exotic cuisine with our friends, Moe and Caleb. Big thanks for Moe for introducing us to such a cozy, lovely restaurant. We enjoyed the yummy food very much. What a great find!
There is a strip mall, at the corner of 28 St. SE and Memorial Dr. It is nondescript, and full of ethnic food proprietors. A Jamaican cafe, a Middle Eastern cafe, a Filipino cafe, and Safari Grill. The mall has an interesting name, Short Pants Plaza. I’m guessing it is named after all the tropical cultures that have set up shop within. After five hours at the climbing gym, I was ready to polish off some serious eats. A short drive down the street brought us to the Safari Grill. Being seriously hungry, the three of us shared the Spicy Kuku Bite (chicken in tempura batter with a sweet and spicy chili sauce) and the Mboga Combo. This was a combination of vegetarian appetizers: fried cassava, samosa, round potato scallops fried in batter and fried lentil balls. It came with dipping sauces: mild green chili, hot red chili, tamarind, yogurt sauce and coconut chutney. It reminded me of the dipping sauces from Tiffin, across the street. East African cuisine tends to feature inspiration from
we ordered this food last night and i cannot stop thinking about it. everything was cooked to perfection and the flavours were amazing. portion sizes were great and pricing is extremely cheap for the amount of food you get. if i could rate this restaurant 10 stars i would!
Very unique and delicious BBQ. This is not a restaurant for vegetarians. We had two dishes, chicken curry and the Safari Grill BBQ platter.
The sauces that went along with the BBQ just upped the flavour enough to not take away from the seasonings that were already on the meats.
Service was very good. We came for a late lunch and spent two hours enjoying the meal. I will most definitely go back.
This place is awesome, the food is so good. I will 100% be back many times.
We got a mixed grill, chicken skewers, naan and vegetable rice. Sorry I can't recall the actual names.
The vegetable rice is really nice, better than most rice I've had.
The mixed grill was really tasty, meat cooked to perfection.
Service was great, two girls and a girl in there, all really friendly. I assume the guy was the owner, he was super friendly and welcoming.
100% recommend.
Loved the nostalgic flavour! From the food, ambience and Swahili talk. Excellent food and service. Will be back for sure!
Got delivery from here a few weeks ago and it was really tasty! We ordered a few entrées and a platter, each dish was better than the last. I have to say I am still dreaming of the ribs, they were outstanding. Can't wait to go in and dine in. I need those ribs again!
We ordered the Forodhani platter. It came with 2 skewers of chicken mishkaki, 2 skewers beef mishkaki, 1/2 chicken, 1/2 pound ribs and 2 skewers shrimp. Also got masala chips and naan. It was delicious, but not what you get at Forodhani in Zanzibar. All the spices were tandoori.
Literally the best food I’ve ever eaten. I drive 3 hours from Edmonton at least once a month for the sole purpose of eating here, and it is worth it every time. Cannot recommend Safari Grill enough.
