Places like Tamarind make me want to move to Canada - just for the food. The décor was so impressive, modern fixtures and calming Buddha statues. Spinach tikki - OH MY GOD! Simply the best appetizer I have ever had. Their chef is a genius, to be able to expertly marry the flavors of spinach, goat cheese and fry it to perfection - it was crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside. Even the pairing with their chutneys and coleslaw (yeah, who would think a spinach patty could go well with coleslaw!) worked so well. We also ordered their Chowmein noodles; we had low expectations for that with Tamarind being a North Indian place, but even that blew us away. The noodles were a perfect blend of indo-Chinese with lots of vegetables. I also ordered the malai kofta and garlic naan, which were much better than what I get in the USA. The owner and waitress were both very friendly, they talked to us about our trip, helped us find local places and also packed our left overs for us. That kind of service is unheard of in the US. The prices were very reasonable for a full service restaurant, in US you would eat in foil or Styrofoam for these prices. I wish I stayed in Calgary so I could come back here again and again.
