| - As many other reviews have pointed out, this is not the best Indian food in Calgary. In fact, I was told it was East Indian food. If that is true, it still isn't that good.
The place is clean and reasonably easy to find; parking is not a problem in the evening as it is free after 6pm in downtown Calgary.
If only I would have bothered to read the reviews instead of going an acquaintances recommendation of this restaurant, I could have save myself nearly $40.
Before going further, you can get much better Indian food at the Taj Mahal on MacLeod (see http://www.yelp.com/biz/taj-mahal-restaurant-calgary) for about 1/2 the price and 25% more food per serving. Add to that, it tastes way fresher and they run a buffet on Tuesday/Wednesdays.
The waitress seemed truly disinterested but not quite rude. The older gentleman that others have referred to was there and seemed reasonably nice.
We each got the meat platter which is basically a metal lunch tray with some lamb, beef, and chicken and associated curries. Has a small salad as an appetizer and rice pudding as dessert. This was $24.95 and the portions were small but the reasoning was that a sampler to see what's good here. Apparently, logic failed me. Add to that, I paid $8 or $9 for Long Island Ice Tea such that I could have a beer to Nestea and it would have tasted stronger and not to mention better. It took them 11 seconds to make that drink. A 4-shot drink, mixer, and garnish takes more than 11 seconds to make (if you are making it right).
Sticking to this price range if you must, go to Namskar (see http://www.yelp.com/biz/namskar-calgary).
There is no Glory in being honest and there is definitely no Glory here and apparently, no Indian food either.
