| - Hands-down I am a huge fan for Puspa where it's a wonderful little jewel for northwest Calgary. Although Indian food (when made right) is absolutely delicious, diners familiar to this ethnic cuisine know that prices can be steep. In Calgary, it can be hard to find a good restaurant that delivers in both good food and good prices where you get either one of the two, but not both. At Puspa, it always delivers in both avenues where food is delicious and dishes are more reasonable than other restaurants. Key word is reasonable NOT dirt cheap so do expect to be spending a bit more than your average meal at pubs.
Puspa first came into existence in the year of 1993 where it is located just off of Northmount Drive and tucked in a tiny little shoppers plaza. For first-timers, do take it a little easy in the parking lot as it can, at times, be a rather tight squeeze navigating around or trying to park your car.
Despite the fact that restaurant is now a bit older, Puspa offers its customers a rather small but very quaint interior where it is a wonderful venue choice for an intimate dinner with family and/or friends. Sometimes restaurants can face disadvantages of being smaller-scaled, however Puspa manages to takes its close quarters as an advantage where customers will always receive speedy, attentive, and extremely accommodating service. If you do plan on having dinner at the prime-time of dinner (6-7 o'clock) I recommend on booking a reservation as the restaurant is constantly busy and tables are always full. Without a reservation, wait-times during busy hours can be up to 30 minutes or more depending on the size of the party.
The menu is loaded with numerous choices of beef, chicken, seafood, lamb, and vegetarian curries, along with various versions of naan and rice dishes which will definitely meet the needs of everyone dining there.
Each and every dish are nicely presented where they give great proportions of sauce, meat, and vegetables. Unlike some restaurants around the city, Puspa keeps it real by actually kicking their dishes up a notch and giving diners that satisfying spiciness to their dishes. As a last additional note, if you don't have time to dine at Puspa, then I also recommend ordering take-out from the restaurant. And just because I'm Asian and always like good-deals, they give a 10% discount if you do take-out!
Dish Recommendations:
Samosas
Sag Aloo Bahji
Mixed Vegetable Curry
Naan
Butter Chicken*
Beef Vindaloo*
Madras Beef and Madras Chicken *
* NOTE: I am a vegetarian, however these are recommendations based on friends and family who have had these dishes. Back in the day when I did eat meat (like 4 years ago) I remember that they were absolutely amazing!
