I came for their chai, and I found it hard to leave once I had one.
Best chai in the city? Best chai ANYWHERE.
Add to that free Wi-Fi, close proximity to the University, and a delicious hummus recipe (drool), and you can tell where I spent a lot of my free afternoons...or paper writing sessions...or just meeting friends.
The dessert selection is also out of this world, with clever names for their pies and cakes. Also they have a pretty good beer selection, and they're open until midnight most (if not every?) day of the week.
But come for the chai. I promise you won't be disappointed. -

Tonight was my first time at Remedy Cafe. I went there on a date with my significant other.
As we waited in line to order our drinks, I noted the variety of Indian foods they had available from their take-out fridge (channas, palek panners, and curry - oh my!), as well as some of the cute names of their sweets and treats (like mocha polka cake). After surveying their long menus (there's four - dishes, hot drinks, cold drinks, and alcoholic beverages) I ended up ordering a chocolate mint fog (yum!) while my partner ordered a pint of traditional ale (yawn).
Remedy Cafe has two levels: the lower level has two booths (each looks like it accommodates about 8 people) and some tables and chairs (one table even has a built in chess board!). My date and I sat upstairs. While I appreciated the artwork on display on the upper floor, I felt as though the atmosphere was a bit cafeteria-ish. At first the music seemed a bit loud, but it grew on me as it was a good mix.
We arrived at about 8, and the cafe seemed relatively quiet (there's weren't many people). But by the time we left (about 2 1/2 hours later) it was packed!
It seems like the patrons of Remedy Cafe are extras from the set of Portlandia - it seems like the resident hippies, hipsters, and university students all flock to hang out at Remedy. I don't mind, though I found a couple patrons to be quite vocal about their political beliefs while waiting in line to place my order.
Overall, I'm glad I finally visited Remedy Cafe. I can't wait to visit the new location on Jasper Avenue (whenever it opens) as it'll be closer to home for me. -

I like Remedy. I'm always impressed with the tea selection and the vegan chicken curry wrap is mouth watering! I would really love to know what they put in the sweet dip sauce on the side.. Apple juice, cinnamon, maple and ??? I must know!!
It's always a little loud, and a few of the staff members think they are more important than the rest of us specs of dust, but we won't hold it against them. The girl with the short hair is always super friendly, and really I'm only there for the food. Thanks for staying open late Remedy! PS your ladies washroom mirror could use a cleaning, I think it's growing fur.
Bring on the chai! Xo -

This'll be short and sweet.
As many others have posted, the chai and some of the desserts are delicious. However, I find none of the Indian food tastes like Indian food. I went there shortly after a trip from India, and have been back a time or two with a friend that really loves the place - but it doesn't stack up to other places boasting authentic Indian fare.
It is full of uni-hipsters, some incredible artwork, and some snazzy tunes, which sets a real cool vibe in the place. Something I give a big thumbs up for.
Cafe - Yay. Resto-bar - meh. -

Went with a friend on sat afternoon, we had a Kashmir Chi Latte and a Samosa. Loved the Chi, I really really loved the Chi, but wasn't digin the food. The place requires a good dusting and a little TLC. But that Chi had me wanting more the Samosa not so much (greasy and bland). Will I go back - yes but for the beverage and not the samosa! Look forward to trying the downtown location

Yes, Remedy is home to my favourite chai, has conveniently late hours, and some mean vegan selections... but that's about it.
This joint is crowded, too loud to make conversation, always has a dirty bathroom, and there's nothing too particularly endearing and homie about it.
Also a little over-done with people out on first dates, which is indeed hilarious for people-watching. -

I would say they have absolutely the best Chai Latte in the city! I quite like the atmosphere very trendy and always busy often with university students and also often Remedy has some great art work from local artists on their wall to check out or purchase.
I have eaten a few times and have yet to have something bad, mind you I haven't been too adventurous. I did try their Masala Dhosa and it was delicious, I had the veggie one and am glad I opted for it as my friend had the chicken and found it to be too filling with the meat. But I guess if you have a large appetite that would be perfect. I have also had their breakfast sandwiches a few times and love them, I don't know what sauce they use but it is very tasty!
I don't think a lot of people think of desert when they go to remedy but I have to say they have some of the best cakes and pies I've had and it is always a plus when you can order by the slice. A personal favorite is the Kitty Lime Pie, I'm not sure why Kitty is in the name but it's what drew me to it and holy pie batman it was amazing!!! -

I went to Remedy with some friends a week ago, and was delightfully impressed. I had heard raves about the chai, and it definitely lived up to the hype. With soy milk and almond milk for those of us who are dairy-free, tons of vegan options, and gluten-free as well, I'm recommending it to everyone I know. Yeah, the music's a bit loud, but that didn't stop us from having a great time!

Oh hello there, Kashmiri Chai! How are you? Where did that delicious full-bodied flavor come from? And your green coloring? Hmmm,what sort of magical deliciousness is this that I had not previously experienced? Did you just make this up, Remedy, or is there a whole new type of chai I didn't even know existed? I mean, I rarely drink the stuff so it could be, but I've never seen it on a menu in my home town. Maybe that's because our Indian options suck... but I digress.
I know you can't be healthy, rich green chai, because thick, creamy drinks don't come from low fat sources, regardless if it's made non-dairy with a substitution of almond milk. Oh, and thanks for being available in almond milk format. The cow-stuff just doesn't do it for me. I can only imagine how creamy it would be when made with yak butter. Mmm.... yak.
I don't really care that the atmosphere is loud and ramshackle, with tables sort of thrown together and all sorts of university folk doing loud things around me. I can slip some ear buds in, leech off of the free wifi and revel in the comfort of your green goodness.
Mmmmm... this will be a must-stop next time I'm in Edmonton!Listed in: Alberta On My Mind, Tripping Through Edmonton!

Review from Adam R.
Remedy has got easily the best Chai Latte in Edmonton, hands-down. A great atmosphere here with plenty of seating for groups of all sizes, this is a great place to come with a whole pile of friends, or your laptop to get some work done.
They have a terrific selection of indian food. I haven't tried a ton of it, but I remember really enjoying a veggie samosa.
But seriously, if you do nothing else, try the Chai. Authentic and delicious, one of the gems of Edmonton -
Review from Alex P.

Remedy is an OK place, but I don't think I like it as much as most people do.
The place is actually a decent size if you want to sit down and have some food or a drink. It's got two levels, the upper level being all seating, but still it somehow tends to fill up on weekday evenings and especially on the weekends. It seems to be a typical study chill-out place for the University folk.
They've done some renovations recently, but despite the renovations the place still looks a bit dumpy. Whoever painted the place didn't do a very good job (painters tape is not that expensive.. use it! Sheesh.) And the whole place just seems a little worse for wear. Sometimes this can make a place feel cozy, but in this case it just seems a little scuzzy.
I haven't tried that much here other than drinks. The drinks I've had have been good, no better or worse than the familiar chain cafes. I did order a vegan chocolate cake once and it was horrible. I am not vegan, but I like to try vegan stuff because I've got a few friends who are and who sometimes have trouble finding places to eat out. The cake was dry, the icing broke off like it was old, and it didn't have that much flavor. Just because something is vegan doesn't mean it should taste like paper!!
Basically, I go here if other people want to go here. Not a place I'd visit if I'm by myself. -

Remedy has to make one of the best chai's in the city. I use to eat there quite a bit and the food was good...a little awkward if you are sitting upstairs and you have to listen for your order being shouted. But hey, what can you do? It gets pretty crowded in there so it's better than standing in everyones way while waiting for your food. I personally enjoy coming to Remedy on a weekday afternoon because its a lot more mellow. The night is fun for sure but if you want to have a conversation, make sure you don't get shafted to sitting under the speakers!
I haven't been in for over a year because I had a feeling that Remedy was getting some real poser in, but what I remember is that it was an awesome place to hang out. -

I tend to be more of a coffee purist and I'm not a chai guy, so I really come here because it's popular with the crowd. The coffee is good (middle of the pack in this neighbourhood) and the food smells great, but I guess I don't thing of it as a restaurant and generally I'm not there at meal times.
Our typical time at Remedy is spent talking over a coffee, beer or chai. It's got a more relaxed atmosphere than the nearby Sugar Bowl and I'd say a more Bohemian vibe than the hipster scene across the street. It's more conducive to visiting and conversation in the evenings.
This end of 109 is getting to be quite the evening spot. There are a couple of sushi spots, a couple of diners, a couple of espresso cafes, a really decent pho place, and with Sugar Bowl and Remedy you can stretch the evening out with drinks and coffee (along with Indian food) before popping into the Garneau for some Art House. -

Out of my five long years in Edmonton this place is one of the (very) few things I REALLY miss about the city, other than the wonderful people.
I sometimes have dreams about the chai lattes, no joke. Oh, the chai, the chai.... how I miss that delicious elixer of chai-y goodness. I have hunted high and low in many other cities across Canada for something that remotely approximates the magic that is Remedy chai. I have not found it.
So yes, Remedy chai is amazing (both soy and milk versions). And the dahl. And the samosas. And the vibe. Love the crowd here. Sometimes I consider hopping on a plane back to E-town just to get a fix. And that's saying something. -
Review from Aditya R.
I like Remedy. Haven't tried too much of the food, but have had the wraps and am waiting to still try the dosas. Given that I my roots are from the south of India, I must say that I tend to have very high expectations for the dosa clan of food items which is quite different from North Indian food (naans etc.)
Now, what I have tried I really ilke. They make an awesome Himalayan chai which is green in color. Strongly infused with crushed pistachios, extremely flavorful and filling. It's caffeine free too. It's really more like flavored milk. I also like some of the other things out there. They have a large variety of tea bags that you can pick up for your hot tea.
Remedy has some seriously filling muffins etc. to go with tea/coffee for those just looking for the cafe experience. Mostly whole grain muffins with high fiber and filling as hell, it's great for an afternoon break from work kind of thing. I like 'em.
The food looks very good, to be honest. I can't wait to try some of the things. Dosa is one, but even some of the more traditional north indian varieties look pretty good. Another review will appear, once I've tried the food!Listed in: Green massacre, Garnishing Garneau

Ah, Remedy, home to many hard hours of studying, dozens of delicious chai lattes, and countless great conversations with good friends. The staff are almost always friendly and the food and beverages, although a tad pricey, never disappoint.
The chai is definitely the flagship item on the menu. With its rich, sweet taste and smooth creamy texture it is by far the best chai out there. The menu also offers a wide variety of other hot and cold beverages as well as many food items including a good selection of vegan foods.
The atmosphere offers a very alternative feel which attracts a unique crowd. During the quiet hours it is a great place to take a laptop or a book and study or enjoy some leisure time, however, at peak hours the cafe can become rather crowded and noisy.
Overall, Remedy is probably my favorite cafe in Edmonton. Although it's not perfect, the wonderful menu and the unique atmosphere make it hard not to enjoy this place. -

My first time here last night, came in to have a Chai Tea Latte, It was so good I couldn't believe it. And WOW the Wraps and Samosas were excellent. I had some kind of samosa, that had curry and potato and the pastry of it was almost like pie crust. It was really good. I think my wrap was a butter chicken, it was really good too. I cant really remember the names of everything I tried my brain was infused with alcohol and I cant remember what I ordered exactly just how it tasted... Yummy and I'll be back. I'll do another review when I go back and this time I'll get the names of what I had..:P"

I went into Remedy last night to grab a tea to go. A friend of a friend had recommended the green dragon oolong (I think that's what it was called). I went with it and really enjoyed it. It was light but smooth. They had a huge tea selection as well as other drinks, plus food. For being a Sunday night at 10:30 there were quite a few people there. I really like the atmosphere, felt very laid back and a great spot to grab a bite to eat and a coffee. I've also heard the chai here is really good, so I think next time I'll order a chai and stay for a bit.

Places like Remedy are fairly common in bigger cities, but I think this place is fairly unique in Edmonton. (If you know of other similar places, I'd love to hear about them!)
They serve coffees, chai, indian food, desserts and a small selection of alcoholic drinks. Their booze prices are surprisingly good, although if you try it's not that hard to drink them out of something. They have a number of vegetarian-friendly options, and I love the sauce they serve for dipping with wraps and samosas.
Remedy is good for studying or drinks or coffee with friends. Their wifi works (most of the time). The only issue is that sometimes it can be hard to get a seat in the evening.
One more tip: don't ever go here if you're trying to hide the fact that you've been. You'll smell deliciously like the food, and anyone with a half-decent sense of smell will bust you.Listed in: Caffeination stations, Beer!

I've only had the Chai here but it is hands down the best I have ever had. I've only been here a couple times. No reason why. Mostly because I'm generally not in the area. But come to think of it I really should come more!
The Chai is more spicy than you would normally find at Second Cup/Starbucks but it has a pleasant kick to it. Although for those of you who can't handle spicy it may be slightly too strong. -

I stopped by Remedy Cafe for a late-night snack and coffee with a friend. The crowd is hip and young - a lot of university students finishing papers (free wi-fi!) and chatting philosophy. It's a great place to do some people watching.
I tried a vegan coconut chicken dish, which I wouldn't order again (points lost for its weird veggie texture), but the desserts here are to-die-for. Each cake and pie gets its own clever name, such as "Fudge Judy."
I would recommend Remedy for its lattes and atmosphere, but I would stick to desserts only next time. -

Good for all that ails you, Remedy Cafe boasts incredible chai and very tasty Indian/Pakistani food. Sohail Zaidi, the proprietor, imports the 32 chai spices from India himself and the recipe is a well-guarded secret. A must try: spinach hummus. It was invented on the fly by one of Remedy's employees and quickly became a customer favourite.

Ah, that ol' Remedy smell. Free wi-fi, great chai, and if you need to delay that deadline with a delicious snack - their on site owner/chef makes the most decadent (mostly vegan) deserts! MMMMMM!
On the scene are the hipster scensters, the bikers, the "conscious" hippies, what have you...its a great all around place to hang and do work and eat and ppl watch.
I especially enjoy the bathroom art. Oh speaking of art - I gotta say, the art they have up now needs to go. I'm trying to finish my series asap - but if anyone has some good paintings, please bring them in! The suicidal crayon vibe has got to go! -

Following up my previous review, I've made a point to try Remedy's chai tea and can finally understand what all the fuss is about. Warm and creamy with a thick velvet foam sprinkled with spices, the chai is a world away from the syrup concoction served at Starbucks and its ilk. I've gone back again and again for this tea delight, and Remedy provides the perfect compromise - chai for me, beer for my companion.
I've also finally tried their samosas, which rate similarly rave reviews - they're spicy, served with a thin, sweet cinnamon-y sauce on the side.
Remedy's only downside is that it's usually impossible to find a seat.Listed in: Night Time is the Right Time, My Neighborhood, Hunger Fix

Amazing food, (best in edmonton) chai, beer, tea, everything! Plus I could not ask for a better experience of yummy indian food that is set at a really affordable price.
I love how many different people it caters to, vegans, omnivores, vegetarians, and when your crave a beer to go with your indian food at the same time its there and you have so many different choices of them.. even draft!
Plus all the pies and cakes have been named something cute/funny or both.
However, I do wish the staff smiled more, danced more, or talked a bit more! They are nice, but for a cafe with such great food I wish they also were that outstanding.

Remedy is primarily known as a hangout for students, activists, and artistic types. The atmosphere is thick with culture and creativity, and the art on the walls rotates on a regular basis. A lot of people come here for the chai, which is delicious and frothy. The food, which mostly consists of Indian and Pakistani cuisine, is also abundantly enjoyed.
My favourite is the palak paneer, a thick blend of spinach, potato, and spices topped with cubes of cheese. The chai and samosas are a perfect snack, although the dipping sauce is more reminiscent of a syrup than chutney which is traditionally served with this kind of food.
Remedy also serves coffee, beer, and a host of other cold and hot beverages. There is free WiFi for customers, and lots of comfy chairs and couches upon which to relax.Listed in: The Places I Go Out, Very Vegetarian

Review from Jeremy and alaka F.
4/20/2010
I was raised under the Hare Krsna movement. I grew up eating Indian food on a weekly basis. Hell, I cook Indian food at least on a bi-weekly basis.
Remedy Cafe is definitely a funky and hip little cafe/restaurant (of sorts). I wasn't too crazy about the Chana Paneer, but the Chana Masala and the Daal are both fantastic. My only qualm would be that, as someone who knows Indian food well, the pita bread they give in substitute of naan or roti, doesn't quite work. However, the vegetable samosas, though a little on the small side, are delicious.
Definitely not where you want to go for truly authentic Indian food. But great if you want something more modern and funky, with a nice mellow atmosphere and fair prices. Remedy Cafe is certainly a place I will go back to from time to time. When looking for a calm ambiance and food with a twist, this cafe is certainly the remedy. -

I love Remedy Cafe! There's no other coffee shop like it in the city. This place is always busy with all types of people--mostly bohemians and University students, but this place is very welcoming to all types of people.
The tables, chairs, and couches in this place are ecclectic--making each area of this coffee shop interesting and different. Remedy has an inspiring atmosphere, so this is the place to have great conversations or to write (as long as you don't mind noise). The music they play is cool--usually a lot of indie ranging from rock to electro.
I don't drink caffeine, but there are a lot of other choices like interesting cans or bottles of juices or carbonated beverages, Italian sodas, and alcoholic drinks. They also serve Indian food, delicious cakes, and other baked goodies.
Remedy is a lively, interesting place--much better than any bar I've been to. -

Remedy Cafe is a quirky cafe near the river valley with a definite low-key counterculture vibe. I've been by for lunch twice. Most of their menu seems to be 'curry wraps', which are then grilled like a pannini. Curry and pita is a surprising combination, but both the chana masala wrap and the butter chicken wrap were flavorful and tasty. They come with a cinnamon/honey(?) dipping sauce which is an took me by surprise on the first bite, but won me over by the second.

Once upon a time, I had come to this cafe while visiting a friend. However, I forgot where it was and what it was called. This was a couple years ago. I had been woeful ever since, for every cafe I from then on stumbled across in Edmonton was not this one.
Yesterday, before heading back to Calgary, I asked my friend, "Where can I get some delicious vegan food before I take off?" He replied, "Remedy. You have to." And so, I set off to Remedy. And upon walking in, I came to a startling realization... THIS WAS THE CAFE. THIS WAS IT!
I was immediately charmed by this shop. It was so beautifully buzzy, and full of people doing their own thing. I had stopped in to grab some food to go, but quickly began to wish I had brought in my laptop to finish from projects for class. I was a little overwhelmed to see a section on the menu board labled VEGAN! I had a hard time deciding, but eventually settled on veggie samosas, one of their notorious chais, and a giantic vegan gluten free gingersnap.
I took off with my delicious things and away I went. My good evolutionary theory, was that the best "chai" (the word chai admittedly kind of pisses me off, as it translates directly to tea) I have ever had.
Next trip to Edmonton, I am eating here only.Listed in: tea (and coffee) list

I love this coffee shop. I have never gone at night though (I am starting to think I should, after reading these reviews!).
I used to go here every morning for a coffee and a bagel. The bagel had egg, cheese and bacon on it and my god was it the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had in my life.
I would walk in and the man behind the counter (I am pretty sure he is the owner) would call out "coffee and bagel?" like it was my first name.
Keep this in mind though-- it is clear that breakfast is not their strong point because it does take FOREVER for them to whip this marvelous thing up. There was once a time where I told the guy working I had to leave to catch my bus, and he realized he forgot to start my sandwich. He told me to get a free one next time.
The next time I went in, he remembered and gave me a coffee and bagel for free (well, I guess not for free, because I had paid for it the day earlier..)
It really does have great coffee though, and wonderful food. It is an awesome place to go and read or study. BUT bring an ipod. It can get pretty loud in there and if you can't concentrate with background noise, you're screwed. -

I would definitely recommend Remedy. -

This is one of my favorite places in Edmonton that will leave a lasting impression on me now that I've left the city. I went there probably 3 or 4 times in the last week and really enjoyed it. I had only been there 2-3 times over the course of this last semester, and regret not going more often until my last week in town.
Their coffee drinks are very good, and they have an excellent selection of bottled beers, as well as a few beers on tap. Both upstairs and downstairs, there is a good selection of seating. My favorite is the set of couches upstairs. Kick off your shoes and get cozy with your computer and the couches - either alone or with a group of people. There is free wifi, too.
Their appetizer dishes are all excellent. I had a wrap that included tandoori chicken and something else involving spinach and potatoes, I believe. It was spicy by my taste, but not for Indian food. Good bang for your buck!
The location of Remedy is also prime; you can take any number of buses that go up and down 109 street, and it is a short walk from the UofA campus. -

Remedy is a really cool place to kick back and relax.
The majority of patrons are students, art folk and bohemian hippie types. The reason for this is the atmosphere at Remedy - it's very chill and laid back.
My fondest memory of Remedy is their apple pie. Oh, how I love apple pie!
A lot of people go to Remedy for the chai. If you are a big chai fan, you need to check out Remedy because it is their claim to fame. Delicious!
The food at Remedy is, for the most part, Indian food. It's a great snack and the spices will keep you warm on a cold Edmonton afternoon.
Remedy also serves desserts, beer, coffee, and some other drinks. It's really just a great place to relax.
If you haven't been to Remedy, I recommend giving it a try. -

Remedy was one of the first cafe's I found when I first moved to Edmonton, that actually felt like a cafe to me. It's one of a few cafe's in Edmonton where you can feel a real sense of community inside. I have noticed it's popularity grow within the last few years, which makes it a little harder to find a spot to sit during the evenings, but if anything that's just a testament to how great the place is. The food is great for the price in my opinion, and the chai is something I always look forward to. They have a variety of coffee drinks (their brewed coffee is quite a good brew imo), iced drinks (and chai milkshakes :D) , and a pretty good selection of beers. The food is mainly a selection of indian food and deserts (cakes and pies) with fun names. Overall it's a great place to go to kill a hour or two, read a book, bring a friend for conversation, and enjoy some good food and drink.
