Review from Van B.

This restaurant seems to always have mixed reviews, it has days where it's excellent and a lot of days where it's sub-par for an Indian restaurant. Like most people who visit this establishment we went there because it is sort of in the middle to all of us working in the core.
I like lunch buffets because then I have a choice as to what I want to eat. I'm a big "see the food, eat the food" kind of person, I'm not a foodie, I don't know what most menu items are if I read it but if I can see it I know what I like.
I truly do love Tandoori Chicken but however everywhere I eat Tandoori Chicken the Chicken itself seems so...dry? I honestly don't know if this is normal or not and I'm in no way judging - simply I just find it is too dry for my tastes.
The rice here is delicious especially when you put on some of that great sauce and vegetables they usually have in one of the buffet bowl tray things. I especially love, love, love butter chicken and basically fill most of my plate with that. Combined with some naan bread we have ourselves a eat-lunch-then-fall-asleep scenario.
My only gripe with this restaurant is that I think it is a little pricey. -

I give 3 stars for food, service and the place. All the items on the menu were priced little high.
Few things were really good. Garlic naan, Fish masala( my fave dish here), panneer tikka (appetizer), chicken tikka masala.
Never try chicken biryani here. It was not worth the taste and price.
I had been here around 4 times. But during my last visit the annoying thing was the waitor was trying to make us order some dishes which we were not interested to and two in place of one. Of course we did try one of his choices which was worst in taste. And a lot food was wasted just because of following his suggestions.Better select your own dishes.
Always remember to insist for gravy if you need some with the curries. Mostly they give very less gravy with curries.
No dinner buffets here. I am yet to try lunch buffet here. Update you on that soon.Listed in: Indian restaurants in calgary

Our group came here for the lunch buffet. Not the greatest Indian food. I've had better.
The tapioca pearl dessert put me off. Tasted like rubber. -

Wanted to find a good Indian buffet in downtown Calgary. The lunch buffet was $17 and their selection wasn't the best. The buffet is overpriced for the quality and the selection available.

Glory of India had an excellent lunch buffet at the NE location. I also found the service very good. We happened to catch the Naan piping hot out of the tandoori oven. The butter chicken was great as was the Pakoras . I would come back as would the 2 others I was with .

Came here with a group of coworkers for dinner. We got a quite few different dishes and shared them all family style.
They serve stuffed naan, which was overly greasy... not very naan-like at all.
The entrees were not as flavorful and spicy as I have come to expect Indian food to be. I like my vindaloo with a serious kick to it, and it just wasn't impressive at all. I'd imagine it's like London's Indian cuisine... I've never been to London, but I hear the food there is generally not that great, and that's just how I felt about this place.
Don't waste your time. -

Glory of India was a big let down. I decided to try the butter chicken and some garlic naan. The chicken in the butter chicken was extremely over cooked, making it dry and almost inedible. On the other hand the naan was undercooked! It was very doughy and was not quite bread yet. I definitely will not be visiting again.

I like this place a lot. They have one of the best butter chicken dishes. I only go here at lunch time for the buffet, so I can say that the price is reasonable. The naan bread is delicous and the desserts are very yummy. I'm not sure why the reviews on this place is so low, this is a great place to eat for lunch!

This is my favorite Indian restaurant. The food is delicious, and the staff is friendly. Food is quick to leave the kitchen. Always a great experience.

Got a vindaloo chicken, beef samosas, naan and rice.
Samosas were made with prefabricated sheet pastry dough. The chicken was loaded with chili peppers but otherwise lacked taste completely, and tasted more Mexican than Indian. -

Excellent food and fine service in the evening. The staff are happy to explain dishes and make suggestions. The lunch buffet is varied and excellent.
I would recommend this restaurant for both the lunch buffet and the evening a la carte menus. -

This place is close to my work and my co-workers and I frequently do their take-out buffet for lunch. We go so often that i would consider us to be regulars. All of us get rice, butter chicken and naan on our visit, and sometimes, a few other things (their pokora is usually really good). The food is great, however after todays experience, i'm not sure if I will be going back. A co-worker of mine could not make the trek up the street today on lunch, so i offered to bring it back for her along with my food. She only felt like having the chicken. I paid for our take out contatiners and as I was filling them up, one of the waiters (maybe the owner) comes over and YELLS at me telling me i was not allowed to just have chicken (my take out containers had other items in it). I tried to explain to him that this order was for a friend, but he would not listen and continued to speak to me rudely. There must have been 10 other people in the buffet line who watched this man yell at me and tell me over and over again i wasn't allowed to have just chicken. This is a BUFFET. No where does it say that I cannot eat just the things i like, nowhere does it say that i have to eat every item on display. I was not impressed by his treatment of me, and very upset that he embarassed me in front of several customers. I asked for my money back for container he took away from me. He did give me back my money, THEN took the chicken I had put into the container BACK into the buffet!!!! Its too bad that this happened as he just lost a regular customer. sigh... i really liked their food too!
