| - We saw Naina's Kitchen on an episode of "You've Got To Eat Here" and immediately felt the need to pay a visit. It took two years before our plans came together that we could actually make it here, but boy was it worth the wait!! The food is amazing.
Let's start with the sides: the poutine and fries both are cooked perfectly, with that right balance of crispiness and delicate soft crunch. Add to that the rich, flavoursome gravy, and you've got a tasty poutine. There's a fair selection of drinks, including a number of craft beers from local breweries. I had a whit beer, the name of which escapes me, but was a pleasant accompaniment to my meal.
However, the star at Naina's is the stuffed burgers. We had been craving the poutine stuffed burger and were not disappointed when my son ordered one. Words cannot easily describe how delicious it was. I tried one of the jalapeƱo popper stuffed burgers, and was equally pleased with my choice.
There's a Wall Of Fame listing all the various specials they've had over the past years. It makes for some fascinating reading.
We mentioned to our server that we had come from Toronto, specifically to try Naina's whilst in the area. After our meal the owner came over to chat with us and thank us for visiting. She was super pleasant and made us feel very welcome. Without a shadow of a doubt, next time I'm in Calgary I will be paying Naina's Kitchen another visit. I highly recommend that you do too.
