I had been searching and craving for good Indian food for about 2 years and I finally found some in this place! It's not the best Indian food I've had in my life but it's as good as you can get in Calgary.
I ordered two portions and almost finished them! The chicken vindaloo was amazing and the biryani rice was pretty good too. The naan was not too bad either. The appetizer Veg Pakora was just too good as well.
There is a whole lot more on that menu that I have to try... -

Surprise! We're eating here! I thought we were just stopping here to pick up some sweets, but I'm glad to finally check this place off of my bookmarks.
Bikaner isn't exactly close to where I live and it's pretty safe to say that it's worth the trip. The Pindi Chana was delicious, as was the Afghani Pulao (even though I really dislike dried fruits in my food).
Minus one star because the server kept forgetting our drinks. Nice guy, but very forgetful. Then, when we were paying for our food, it took him forever to get to the till. Then, when picking up sweets, it took someone five minutes to show up at the counter. We were the only people in the restaurant, so I worry how service would be if it was a busy night.
Vegetarians be wary; chicken is listed among the "vegetarian" dishes. I wasn't completely worried about this, because my friend Vishnu considers himself a vegetarian, even though he eats fish; chicken and lamb. Lots of ethnic restaurants assume that when you say you don't eat meat, you mean you don't eat beef and/or pork. The servers are careful though, so don't be afraid to ask questions. Be assured that what you will get will be delicious :).Listed in: F, F, D, HK

Seems like this place wasn't really heard much around. I had an invitation today for lunch from a friend, and then I understood that this place serve food as well. From the outer picture of this place it doesn't seem like there are some awesome hidden food treasures inside :P ..
After having food, I just thought how did I miss this place.
The place was big enough to handle our group of 20 people. Spacious!! I didn't really have a chance to drill through the menu as it was already decided to go for a buffet.
They had chilli chicken,butter chicken, tandoori chicken,lamb curry,fish fry,shahi panneer, panneer tikka,dal, bhindi fry(indian okra), fruits, chat( similar to salsa),dessert,gilebi,gulab jamoon(sweets) and few other salads, yogurt with onion etc. I don't think there was beef and pork.They had saffron rice and naan, papadum too..
The best one that could steal me was chilli chicken. Stuffed up my stomach with it as much as possible as if I might not find that taste again.Shahi panneer, fish fry,panneer tikka were equally good. Fruits were fresh and tasty. Good bollywood music.Service was good too.
And the whole bunch is just for 9.99!! A great deal.. and from past two years there was not much increment in the price too?
But what made me to rate it 4 was due to few shortfalls. Tandoori chicken was not at all good. Restroom was just one for both men and women and once you enter through one door there will be two doors w/o any symbols or signs on it. Fortunately the third door had EXIT on it. So now it's your hit or miss with the rest two.
Overall- A must try place.Value and taste for money. Really worth it.Listed in: Indian restaurants in calgary

I visited Bikaner Sweets House and Restaurant today for the first time and I gotta say, I was very impressed! I tried their lunch buffet and it was good! The food was excellent, the space is decent and the service was good.
The lunch buffet runs 7 days a week from 11:30am - 3pm and it's only $8.99! Plus on Tuesdays it's only $7.99! What a steal!
The only reason this place lost a star is because I was disappointed that they didn't have milai kofta in their buffet. The selection was a bit limited , but what they DID have was excellent.
Oh and take my word for it - the gulab jamuns are THE BEST gulab jamuns I have EVER had.
This place is definitely a hot spot - check it out fo' sure! -

I am definitely not a connoisseur of Indian sweets, but it doesn't take an expert to know that the sweet baked goods at Bikaner Sweets House and Restaurant are great! The first time I drove by I was intrigued by the name; the next time I decided to stop in. As you enter the restaurant you pass through the sweet shop, where amazing Indian treats are sold by weight. I have no idea what I tried (one was a sweet, spongey, cake-like thing that was white on one end and light brown on the other; I also tried a more dense white square with pistachios on top) but they were incredible! I've also brought out-of-town guests to Bikaner Sweets House and Restaurant to sample the treats and they agree with me- it's all absolutely delicious! The staff there are always so nice to me and I never feel like they're judging me because I don't know the different sweets.
I will definitely return in the future to try the restaurant- if the food is half as good as their sweets it will be worth it!
