Indie Counterculture - Calgary

This place did not disappointment sadly the sigma Indian restaurants place when not located in a Indian populated area is that they won't have good Indian food. But this place did not disappoint at all. From the OG chaat, and fish pakoras, samosa chaat, goat Rogan, butter chicken, and Naan, everything was amazing. So much flavour! In terms of the staff. I feel they would have done better. Either the wait staff was new or they need more practice.

Great food, service and cool vibe! Loved all the options and way to try a few items. The butter paneer/chicken was amazing!! Dal and nann soooo good! Also very quick!

Cool building, nice vibe, with outdoor option. Friendly staff, everyone was nice. Super good food with a unique take on some classics. Great I can't wait to try it again.

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
