***** BEST INDIAN FOOD IN THE CITY!!!!! ******
A friend suggested this place to me a while ago, but I didn't check it out until about a couple months ago when I found myself in the NE part of Calgary.
Bikaner is the kind of place that you could drive by and never really pay attention to - it's quite unassuming from the exterior. But as soon as you step in, you're greeted by friendly servers (who might take a second glance and instantly acknowledge that you don't live in this part of town).
In a nutshell, Bikaner Sweets House is the best Indian I've had in Calgary. It is also ridiculously cheap, which doesn't hurt either ;) The interior is very spacious, with a full bar and open dancefloor (I think?) which is available for event bookings.
Safe to say my friends and I have become regulars here, for both the delicious buffet (at $9.99, you can't go wrong) and dinner service. We usually order the butter chicken and goat curry with basmati rice and garlic naan bread, all of which are cooked and spiced to perfection by the entertaining staff at Bikaner.
This is a hidden GEM in the city and you'll be coming back time and time again - or in my case, three times in ten days :)
