• Nothing.
• Food, service, the stupid owner.

“The worst service ever. The owner is so mean to the clients and the food is horrible. I took my co workers out for lunch and I was so embarrassed as to how bad the service and experience is. The owner is extremely rude and actually picked a fight with me. I had to eventually leave after I paid the bill. I was about to call the police but I don't think my boss would have been to happy. I don't recommend this place to anyone. Also, I heard from another east Indian coworker that the guy (owner) actually checks the websites and fills in good reviews on his own restaurant. So be careful. This is the reason I am writing this.”

• All.

“We have spent plenty of time cooking authentic Cajun food with friends from Louisiana and eating Cajun food on the Gulf Coast and running cooking contests. On our first and last trip here these charlatans tried to fob off dried out old fried rice that tasted like it had been doused in soy sauce as Jambalaya. It was absolute rubbish and anyone who cooked such garbage in Louisiana would be bound up in monofilament line and dragged out into the Gulf behind a shrimper as shark bait.”

• They fixed it right away. They are friendly and you feel like they actually want you to come back.
• One time food was cold and wasn't great.

“I think it is an interesting place. Great staff, attentive to your needs. They fix any problems immediately. The food has always been good. The prices great. The atmosphere, I love it. Family restaurant, but still cozy enough for a couple who want to spend time together. Love the singer waiter.”

• There's a parking lot.

“I had the unfortunate experience of first visiting the curry house about 8 years ago with my then roommate. Both of us were looking for a fairly affordable lunch and maybe a couple of drinks. He over romanced a bottle of Indian beer when I tried to order a domestic one when we first arrived. I thought, wow! This guy is really passionate about this beer. He then continued his overly aggressive approach when we tried to order. If you consider yourself a fan or an expert on Indian cuisine  prepare to be challenged and insulted! He also told us outright that we could not share anything on the menu (including side dishes). Everything is single serving! the final straw was when receiving our bill. That fantastic beer that he sold me on turned out to be 11 dollars! &bringing our fairly affordable lunch to around 50 dollars before the tip. I was left fuming and vowed never to go back. I unfortunately had to return last year for an office function and to my surprise, it was the same overbearing blowhard running the place! The experience was not only unsatisfying but uncomfortable for almost everyone at the table. Later, I was told by the two people who arrived first that they were greeted by a set of customers on their way out the door who warned them about the service. I decided that I needed to add this review when reading how others have had very similar experiences with the curry house. It amazes me that this place is still around. I guess overcharging your customers must make up for bad word of mouth. Believe me; this establishment does not deserve your business. If youre in the mood to be patronized and gouged  enjoy!”

• Shakes are ok.
• Unhappy staff, slow service, below average food.

“I am not sure why this is such a Calgary tradition, it is burgers grilled and left to soak in a watery sauce. I do not recommend this to anyone visiting.”
