What a wonderful meal! Many thanks to all of the friendly and outgoing staff as well as the consistently amazing chefs. Tonight we had the beef palak, beef madras and lamb roganjosh. All of the main dishes, rices and breads were simply amazing. Thanks again!
Awesome restaurant guys...one of the best for Indian food in Calgary...I've been there many times, especially for my birthday dinners and loove it every time. Never disappoints! Thanks to the owner Mr. Trilochan Sekhon and his stupendous chefs for having fed my family and I so many times
Had dinner last night here after hearing mixed reviews from others. But we just like the food. Everything was tasty with right amount of spices in what we ordered. We ordered malai kofta which was not sweet and kadahi panner which was spicy (as we were expecting) with plain and garlic naan. Would really recommend this place.
This restaurant still serves great Indian food after all these years & is located very central to all quadrants. The lunch time buffet is a great deal.
This is a busy restaurant, with good food and good service. Every item we ordered off the menu didn’t disappoint. The portions may seem small but ordering a few dishes is ideal for sharing. Everything tasted authentic, wonderfully flavorful and fresh. We ordered the following: Butter chicken, Beef vindaloo, Til mil zhinga, Naan, Garlic naan, Rice, Papadum, Veggie pakoras, Shahi paneer, Chana masala, Mixes raita and a Mango shake to drink. Out of all the items we ordered, my favorite were the butter chicken and til mil zhinga (prawns). I also enjoy the prawn masala. Reservations are recommended for the weekend.
The food is amazing and very delicious. All the employees are super kind and very welcoming. Hands down the best Indian Restaurant I have been to.
ordered take put from here last night. curry with rice and naan. single order was enough for dinner for 2 and the curry was amazing. Will be back and recommend to all
Absolutely delicious and authentic. Service is always weird however and the building itself (which used to be an Italian restaurant) needs some help to create a more friendly environment.
I've been here a couple of times for the lunch buffet and have enjoyed it immensely. The good was delicious and the staff is very friendly. Fair warning though - I have limited experience with Indian cuisine and have only been to a couple of other Indian restaurants in town. I enjoyed the buffet because it allowed me to try a variety of dishes. I liked everything I tried but (embarrassingly) couldn't name those dishes now. Except the naan bread of course. The naan was incredible. (I didn't try the desert). My only hesitation is that it seems a bit pricey ($20). If you have a big appetite then you're set, but I don't usually feel up to eating that much during my lunch hour. With any buffet I usually feel like I should 'get my money's worth' but that's a mistake you only make once!
Absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself is very inviting, and service was friendly and quick. We started with the vegetable samosas ($4.95 for two), which were absolutely incredible. The pastry was buttery and meltingly tender, and the filling was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Next we had the Palak Aloo ($14.95), Aloo Gobhi ($14.95), Butter Chicken ($16.95), and Beef Curry ($15.95), as well as Naan ($2.55 each) and an order of steamed rice ($2.95). The Palak Aloo sauce was just the right consistency, and, like the Aloo Gobhi, was perfectly spiced. The butter chicken was very, very good - wonderfully tender pieces of chicken enrobed in a velvety, rich sauce. The Beef Curry was also very good: a balanced, subtly spiced sauce with nicely cooked pieces of beef. I will definitely be back to try more of their menu!
I recently dined here with two friends, and we all enjoyed everything very much. The service was attentive and friendly and the food was delicious. Portion sizes were just right, and the flavours of all the dishes were wonderful. It's my choice for the best Indian cuisine in Calgary. We'll definitely be back.
The food here is amazing. The service is good during most times, don't be afraid to wave someone down here. Their lunch buffet is well worth it, you can even take it to go with you. The drinks like the mango lassi and chai are really good. Its a perfect atmosphere for any kind of casual dining. Although priced higher than many other Indian restaurants, it is well worth it. The best part is taking the sauce home with you and dipping the naan in it as a snack.
A traditional Indian restaurant. Stopped in for lunch and had a great meal. The food is exceptional! Very tasty and well prepared and you can choose among many menu options.
I live near here and try it for the first time. I like the characteristic tea and mutton very much. The taste of chicken and clay oven rollsis also very good
One of my favourite Indian restaurants in Calgary! Food is delicious! Service is lovely! Washrooms are clean! Music, seating, decor, vibe is so beautiful! We went on a Thursday night just before they closed, so we had the whole place to ourselves. We got chole bhature, chicken tikka masala, naans, rotis, and ras malai! Everything was 10/10! Didn’t even take pictures of the food cuz we started enjoying it so fast 😋😋 Will definitely be coming back! My favourite chole bhature in Calgary! 😋😋
Great decor. The naan bread is made fresh to order. Spicy is hot but not over the top. Chick pea curry is my favorite dish and they make it superbly. I wonder what is their secret? Lots of parking.
Our family has ordered from Namskar for ages, and given these difficult times for restaurants felt it was time to post a review. We typically order for delivery, and know to order ahead of time on busy nights. We’ve yet to try a bad dish, but our family-friendly favorites are the butter chicken, Chana masala, naan bread, and Kachumber salad. For the grownups the vindaloo has the perfect amount of heat.
We visited Namskar on June 20, 2022. We were on our way to Banff from Toronto and our friend had strongly suggested we visit Namskar in Calgary since we had a day planned in Calgary. The ambience of the restaurant is great! Gives positive vibes. The owner and other staff of the restaurant were so welcoming and warm, it felt like we were visiting a restaurant in India. The food tasted great and the service was impeccable. We loved our experience and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving Indian food in Calgary.
