What Our Guests Say

Customer Reviews

"This small family run restaurant on a dusty street in Drumheller far exceeded our expectations. The Petu garlic Nan is the best we've ever had and the rest of the meal was also terrific. The portions big enough for a next day meal."

"Hands-down one of the best Indian I have had in years. Hariyali Chicken Tikka aromatically sizzling, naan and roti so light, crisp and hot. Genuinely delightful people. A relaxed, inviting atmosphere."

"The curries were made from scratch to order. Delicious, big chunks of meat and slivers of ginger, well spiced and very tasty. The portions were huge. We took what we couldn't eat back to our cabin and had seconds next day."

"Casual family dinner while visiting Drumheller. Kids loved the butter chicken and naan. Most of the curries were gluten free when we visited. The GF naan was delicious. Thanks for the great food and service!"
