| - Going for an early supper prior to my class at Momentum on Wednesday, April 25, 2018, a friend and I accidentally stumbled across the Safari Grill in south east Calgary just east of Barlow Trail South East and just north of Memorial Drive South East. My friend, who often listens to CBC Radio, liked the fact, mentioned in the restaurant's window as well as inside, that CBC's John Gilchrist had given the Safari Grill a positive review with five (5) stars. I, a strict vegetarian and mostly vegan, liked the fact that the menu contained some vegetarian (vegan?) options. For example, the first (1st) item on the menu was a "Chickpea soup with chevdo (Crisp rice, potato chips, dry cereal, peanuts, lentils, raisin and cashew nuts)" for eight dollars ($8.00). My friend and I both ordered the soup as our appetizer and we both heartily enjoyed it. My friend ordered a tofu dish and I ordered an okra dish [after it turned out that the eggplant dish recommended by Mister Gilchrist was unavailable that day]. The wali (rice) was very light and fluffy, quite unlike the heavy rice I normally encounter in, say, oriental restaurants. And the chapati (roti) flatbread was very good too. :-)
