Swirl Indian Fusion Restaurant

I've eaten here a few times this week while staying in the hotel, good food, good service. The host was very friendly and accommodating. I've read below the naan bread it store bought? Not sure about that, it was very good. Currish lamb and butter chicken were both very good. I inquired about spice level since I'm not a big spice person. Most are made mild and can be made hotter, I had no problem with the spice in the butter chicken

Good. Had butter chicken, naan and vegetables. All like you could do at home with store bought naan and sauce. Nothing bad, but not 'great' indian cuisine.

I visited swirl Restaurant....and the food n staff was amazing!! Specially Manvi and chef Nitesh..keep up the good work!!

An Indian Resturant, Connected to the ALoft Hotel... Genius!. It was the last night of our Canadian Rockies vacation. We love Indian food. We were travel weary. We struck gold-- at Swirl. Amazing and yummy Indian, right on site at our hotel. No need to to try and find a place for dinner. It was right there and it did not disappoint. My kids loved the butter chicken and the naan. I absolutely loved the stir fried veggies with paneer. My husband had the dal and it did not disappoint. My daughter loved the soup and she is picky about her Mulligatawny.

We decided to celebrate our trip with dessert-- and the kheer was elegant and yummy. My son is a purest about his kheer, but he loved the addition of rose water. I had the chili chocolate fondue with fresh fruit-- which is more than enough to share, but it was SO good, I ate most of it myself. My tried the trio of sorbets and she was in heaven. I tasted her mango sorbet and it was amazing.

The service was wonderful and the chef even came out to visit with us at the end of the meal. This is a new venture for him and his love for food and sharing the flavors of India are clearly evident in his restaurant and menu. His presentation of the dishes also speaks to his time a chef on cruise ships. The food was not only beautiful and tasty but presented like a true labor of love.

While it is unlikely we will make it back to Calgary in the near future, I would go back to Swirl in a heartbeat and think you would be missing something very special if you skipped an opportunity to check Swirl out when in Calgary.
