  • I was really excited to go to this restaurant because I had seen the pretty decor and the food on their Instagram page so I suggested it to my friends. Notably, they have their food based on items from Calcutta and Indian street food which seemed like a cool restaurant theme. Also, they had pictures of a plastic jaguar as a centrepiece for their restaurant on Instagram and it just looked so cool I had to go check it out! We got their at 7 pm and put our names on the wait list for a table. They notified us that it would take anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half for us to be seated because they had shut down the patio (which takes their seat count down by about half) and also had a lot of people waiting ahead of us. They said that they would text us when they had a seat become available so this allowed us to wander around 17 th ave in the meantime. An hour and a half passes by with no text message so we call them to follow up. They said that because there's been only a small number of tables turning over the wait time has been delayed to a half an hour to an hour longer. We were upset to hear that but having already waited for this long, we thought that we could last a while longer. An hour later - no text message. So we decide to stroll back into the restaurant to see what's going on. The hostess is very apologetic and states that people have been sticking around after eating and not leaving their tables all night. She points to one table and states that the people there have been there since 5 pm and it is now 930 pm! She says that she's going to try her best to walk around and get a table free for us. She offered us some chai tea to help make the wait better for us which was great because I was about to pass out. Finally we get seated on a 2 person table with a chair added in at around 10pm. We already know what we want to eat so we order right away. We wanted to try the tandoori chicken Kati rolls, Parsi prawn curry and the beef short rib biryani. At that point the server told us that the biryani would take a half hour to make which wasn't a surprise at this point haha so we ordered it anyway! We asked that he brings out all the food together instead of separately so that we could eat the curry with the biryani to which he said no because he needs to bring out the curry first! Why does he need to bring out the curry first exactly?! This meant that we would need to order either naan or plain rice to accompany the curry which we ended up doing but I knew that it was going to be a lot of food for us to finish. A lot of restaurants are accommodating about the order they bring out food but this one is definitely not one of them! The food comes out with the entree for one of my friends first and a half hour later the server comes by to notice that our appetizers have not even been served yet. He chalks it up to the kitchen messing up on our order because he definitely put the order in. Our appetizer arrives 10 minutes later after one of my friends has finished eating, followed by the curry and a grand total of an hour later- the biryani! After all of this, I wish I could say that the food was totally worth it but I sadly cannot. The food was good - the Kati rolls had flavourful and soft chicken with cilantro wrapped in parotha ($7 for one). The Parsi prawn curry had fresh prawns but was a bit too salty ($14) and the short rib biryani had really soft meat with flavourful rice in a bowl covered with puff pastry covering ($33). Overall, this half day excursion for food was the biggest waste of my time. I could have driven to Banff, eaten there and travelled back in the amount of time it took for us to eat here. I would not be going back to this restaurant again - their food is good but not worth the wait or the terrible service! As for the jaguar - yes you are cool but definitely not worth the 4.5 hours I spent in hanger at this restaurant! Would NOT recommend!
