| - Where in Calgary, Alberta can you go for Bombay butter chicken, panang prawn bowl, ravioli with lobster / grilled prawns, bbq salmon rice bowl, Spanish paella, baby back ribs, and filet mignon?
Last night in Canada on our 9 day Canadian Rockies trip. We walk into Joey Eau Claire, brick building, with large windows, and outdoor patio on this hot summer night in early September.
TV screens above a huge bar area, with waitresses in short one piece black skirt outfits.
We get an indoors table, take a look at the early bird specials, including $4 Hawaiian tuna taco, sushi cone, and sliders royale, good 3-6pm everyday, or after 9pm Sunday-Thursday. 6:30pm, we are out of luck.
Our waitress wears the shortest skirt of all the ladies, and gives us the menus. Wife orders the $24.25 CAD ravioli with lobster and grilled prawns, while I get the $19.25 CAD Bombay butter chicken.
Service is leisurely. We are one of the few who do not order any drinks or beer. I do some people looking, and check out a guy in shorts and white slide sandals, and a lady in a skin clinging pair of jeans, displaying her good proportions. If you got it flaunt it!
The Bombay butter chicken is as good as those in Silicon Valley, home to thousands of Indian engineers. Boneless chicken with just the amount of spice in a bowl of thick gravy, accompanied by rice with peas, and home made hot out of the oven naan.
The ravioli with lobster comes with three prawns, in a thick butter sauce. Lobster clearly can be seen when cutting open one of the ravioli.
Both of us finish our meals in very quick time, and still hungry, order the $9.25 CAD apple crisp a la mode, with maple ice cream.
Average service, noisy atmosphere, excellent food, small portions. Only time I had a chance to eat Indian food on our 9 day trip.
I give the waitress an extra dollar or two for showing me her revealing short skirt outfit!
