The Skinny: oooh... crispy chewy naan... great curries... amazingly moist tandoori chicken! (5) Service: friendly family owned joint (5). Price: for East Indian - it's pricey but it sure makes up for it in terms of quality.... will save you a trip to India(5).
Dear Nawab,
Thank you for showing me how good East Indian cuisine can be. I've been to many East Indian restaurants since but they've never come close to the food that you serve here.
Thank you for not having a buffet 24/7 - that keeps your quality high even though it probably takes more time and effort on your part. It really makes a difference and I can tell each time I take a succulent moist bite of tandoori chicken.
I have dreams about your naan... my husband does too. That chewy crispy bread is so perfect on every level. We've tried naan at other restaurants including Sensi in Las Vegas. It still doesn't hold to the magic you work with flour.
Your chai is the best and so is your rice pudding. I wish I could write sonnets about how yummy they are.
Finally, thank you for ruining me for all other East Indian restaurants in North America because you're simply the best on this side of the ocean.Listed in: Top Restaurants

I can't believe that I'm the first person to review this restaurant. As far as Indian places go, Calgary has quite a lot to choose from, but after trying so many I've discovered that this is the only one that I am willing to go back to time and time again. Coming here, we don't even order off the menu, we just tell out beautiful waitress to bring us out what she thinks is good that night, and it is always fantastic. Never had one bad dish from Nawab and I've probably tried 3/4 of their menu! They do gourmet South Indian cuisine and I come out stuffed every time I eat there.
Tonight we had chai, papri chaat (a favorite of my mom's), Nauratan, Murgh Goa and Gulab Jamum for dessert. And always Naan, no dinner here would be complete without Naan....
Family atmosphere is what they pride themselves on, the owner and his wife are lovely people who always make you feel at home when you come to visit. Even the Flames feel the same way, tonight we saw Connie and Iggy is a regular and usually brings his whole family (don't bug them though, it's the Calgary way!).
I highly suggest that you come here, even though there is construction right next door, parking is easy either on the street or across the street in the parking lot ($3.50) but the owner will discount is off your bill at the end of the night. The bar has a bunch of Flames memorabilia and a big screen TV on which they always have some sort of sports game playing (hockey in season). We haven't come for the lunch buffet but have heard that it is amazing, if you work downtown near this area you should come and check it out!

The beer was great; unfortunately that's where the good stuff ends.
Poor food, high prices and awful service with overly self-impressed owners with a knack for verbosity. Nearly every other Indian joint I've been to, and I've been to many, kicks the curry out of this joint.
Go check out Wicked Chili, Green Chili, Bombay Sweet House, Mango Shiva or anywhere else for that matter for a far superior experience on virtually all accounts.
Oh and if you do go here ask the messy haired owner/server about Jerome - he'd have you think they are lovers or something - laughable.
On a final note read the other two reviews prior to this one and tell me they were not written by staff or friends of management or whatever *chuckles*.
