| - Thanks to Yelp, I tried Moti Mahal for the first time a few weeks ago. I love indian food, but I had no idea where was good in Calgary (even after asking friends from India!). Im SO glad we decided to go here!! I did not make reservations, and it was pretty busy when we arrived. We waited about 15 minutes as we were hoping for a table further away from the door (it was cold outside), but finally our stomachs were yelling at us to just pick a damn table. So we sat right near the bar, which ended up being nice because we were the only ones in that section. I got the coconut mojito right away based on the rave reviews and it was absolutely amazing, my boyfriend was really jealous after he tasted it. We ordered the tandoori prawns and samosas to start, they were really good. For our mains we had butter chicken, korma, rice, and naan bread. I was hesitant about ordering the butter chicken because I've had it a million times, but my boyfriend insisted and I was so happy he did!!! It was THE BEST butter chicken I have ever tasted! Everything was SO fresh, hot, and tasty. We ate, drank wine, and enjoyed the ambiance, never feeling rushed by the servers. Despite being stuffed, we also went for the dessert sampler as well which was the perfect ending to the meal...just a taste and each item was interesting. The staff was attentive but not overbearing and even chatted with us and made us laugh a few times! I absolutely loved my experience here and I will most definitely be back.
