  • My husband and I found Five Rivers about a year ago and decided to try it. We were happy to find a vegetarian Indian restaurant in Calgary. The restaurant is in an old Pizza Hut building. We assumed that is why they had pizza at the buffet. The hot choices were limited but mostly tasty. Our favourite is the Shahi Paneer since you get some protein without all the carbs. Despite that, the Chana Masala and Dhal are good too. We loved it so much that we went often. Sometime late spring, we decided to try and cut down on carbs, so we stopped going here every week. We hadn't been there for over 6 months so we were looking forward to it after so long. Everything seemed normal as we drove up to the building and as we walked in, but that is where it stopped. The first thing we noticed was that the stack of plates was replaced with more traditional stainless steel indian plates and bowls which we liked. Then we noticed that the buffet had been drastically cut back. The giant salad bar was gone. There were only 4 items left and the pizza was non-existent. We were glad to see that at least the paneer, dhal and chana were still there. The food quality had gone down, sadly. The flavours had gone down too much to be enjoyable. The flavoured rice wasn't as good as it used to be and looked like it had been there since 6am. While we were getting more paneer to try and justify the buffet, a man and his wife entered the restaurant. We heard him ask one of the employees "Where is the rest of the food?" the girl answered "It's here." motioning to the very small salad bar. To which he responded "Where is the rest of it? It used to be much bigger?" my husband interjected and said to him "I asked the same question and got the same answer. No answer." If the owners think that no one is going to notice when drastic changes are made to the buffet, they are kidding themselves. My husband was particularly sad that there was no rice pudding. We finished our blah food, felt very unsatisfied and disappointed that Five Rivers had gone "up the river, without a paddle." Sadly, we won't likely be going back. :-(
