Indie Counterculture - Calgary

Walked by about 6 months ago at a time of day when the restaurant was closed. Was catching a plane home later that day and didn't have the opportunity to dine here. I never forget reading the menu and seeing Panipuri and thinking, I *have* to eat here some day. And so we did yesterday, and left fully sated with a spectacular little meal that surprised and delighted. The Vada Pav sliders were sublime, had a bit of heat added in the form of cayenne (guessing and some other dry spice that was to my liking along with a sauce that defied my taste buds. A perfect bite that was savory, spicy and satisfying. Warning, yes, that Thai chili pepper pinned to the top of one of them is 10 alarm hot. I checked, very carefully, glad I did. The butter chicken and curry was the perfect compliment with some of the finest garlic naan in recent memory. We tore chunks of the bread and dipped it into the sauce, enjoying every drop. The plate was clean at finish. Mildly disappointed the panipuri were assemble yourself, unlike what I've had multiple times before, but the stuffing of mashed garbanzos and cilantro paired nicely with the green sauce added at the end. Would have preferred a bit more heat but no complaints. The panipuri balls had been fortified somehow (maybe refried? so they didn't break apart like the ones I try to cook with at home that come from a middle eastern grocer. A great appetizer for sure. Would love to try more of everything from this very interesting menu, especially if the weather was warm and we could sit on the patio outdoors, which looked quite inviting, but not in the blistering freezing temperatures of mid-April. Very highly recommended. Hope to return on my next trip to the city.

Food was delicious. Portions were a good size. We had the butter chicken, vindaloo beef, samosas, pakoras, garlic naan, chickpeas, cauliflower and potatos (sorry for not getting the names correct). All were delicious and flavorful. Would definitely recommend and order from here again. Use their app though for delivery... something ....local

My fiance and I enjoyed the food from here. We had the scoville beef, butter clucker, spud, hot chicks, and garlic naan. The scoville beef, butter chicken, and garlic naan were all very tasty dishes and will for sure be repeats for us. The hot chicks were decent but we weren't really fans of the spud dish, it seemed to be a bit dry and the texture wasn't appealing to either of us. We would definitely order from this place again and look forward to trying more of the menu.

Amazing food and customer service!!!! Everything there was amazing and i will definitely be reccomending this place to a few of my friends!

AMAZING!!! We ordered from here from Uber Eats on a whim and we were NOT disappointed!! The Aloo Goni is the BEST I have ever had. The butter chicken and chickpea dish were amazing. The naan is a little thicker/chewier than we usually like- but we ate it with gusto and enjoyed every bite!! Well done!
