"Excellent north indian food. We visited Tandoori Grill and will definitely recommend it for anyone who enjoys authentic North Indian cuisine. There were plenty of choices for vegetarians. The food was fresh and tasty."

- A R., San Francisco (visiting Calgary)

"Delicious dinner twice! My 17 year old son and I are visiting Calgary and Banff for a mom/son vacation. We ate here before heading to Banff and my son couldn't quit talking about it. So we came back for a late lunch before our flight back to the states. It was a great way to fill up a 17 year old kid!"
