| - So. We found ourselves in Calgary for a conference. After 3000 miles of flying, we wanted something local, spiritd, but unfussy. We stopped in to a number of small local restauraunts, but when we went in to Green Chili, the rich mix of aromas said "This is the place."
It IS Indian take out. There are no hovering waiters. Just the heavenly spice smells, flashes of fire from the stove behind the kitchen door, a cheery cashier to take your order, and perhaps a hundred choices.
We ordered naan, vegetable pakora apetizer, goat curry, and palak paneer.
It's 4 star because - take out. Sorry. Would I go back? Try to stop me!
Naan: hot and plenty.
Vegetable pakora: basically Indian tempura, each ball was a harmonious mix of bold flavors, including the namesake green chili.
Goat curry: BIG tender chunks of meat in a sauce that would be enough on its own
Palak paneer: A brilliant green bowl of rich flavors, not a hint of the dreaded gray soup most restauraunts settle for.
