Green Chili - Fine Indian Cuisine

this is the place where I get my satisfaction to enjoy great food with nice happy environment with pleasant service just like extra care of my food,
so good I recommend for a authentic essences always

Even though we live in the area for many years, we had never visited Green Chili, always just driven by. We wanted to try an authentic Indian restaurant and last weekend we did. Amazing experience, so good that we actually ate there again a few days later.

We tried the combination platter for 15 dollars which is a good deal in itself, but more than anything it gives you the opportunity to experiment with different dishes which is what I want to do.

The first time I ordered the butter chicken and the chicken vindaloo (which was really good but a bit too spicy for me - so if you don't like really hot dishes - skip this one).
The manager saw I was struggling with the heat, so he offered to bring me a different sauce, so I tried the curry - which was just perfect. You get amazing naan bread and tasty rice with the platter, a little serving of salad and dessert.
The second time I repeated the outstanding butter chicken, but this time my other dish was chicken Tikka Masaala. So, so yummy. Perfect.
The ambiance is nice and classy - the music relaxing and the service outstanding. Definitely highly recommended to connoisseurs of Indian food and persons who want to try something new. We will be back often .

Edit: August 2017. Unfortunately I must report, the food has been rather lacking these days. The chicken in various dishes is tough, I think to cut costs the owners decided to serve old. frozen chicken. No matter how much you marinate/ braise it - the chicken remains tough and not pleasing.
Also the chef has been adding too much salt to the spices. Last time we were there is was simply awful. The Naan Bread is still yummi, as are the mango lassies.
I hope the administration changes their money saving policy and orders good chicken, so we can return.
Anyway the only reason this place still gets 4 stars if because the manager Shuwik is one of the best in the city. Great customer service and always eager to make patrons feel perfect at this location.

Amazing Momos! Period.
On our way to Banff, we stayed one night in Calgary and visited downtown and nearby areas the next day. We were so hungry and my wife craved for some Nepalese food and found this Indian restaurant that served Nepalese MoMos. We ordered Chicken MoMo and Goat biryani and boy were they good! MoMos were wrapped with hand kneaded dough rather than pre-made wrappers and had authentic taste. We got to meet the Chef (Gokul) who prepared them. If you are in Calgary and craving for MoMos give this place a try. Goat biryani was good too. We kept thinking about those MoMos after we reached Banff. We had thought of taking some to go, but decided not to as we had Biryani left and packed to go. We regret that for the next several days we were at Banff.
BTW, if you parked in the back, it costs $2 for parking but they reimburse it. (I had already parked on the street so did not use it).

Not even star I'm not in India I am in Canada Alberta Calgary this restaurant is dirty and bad food I eat and 4 days I'm sick off this restaurant please don't order or even go inside this dirty place

Green Chili has just creating a new dine-in seating location on 17th Ave SW. This new venue seats 30 to 300 people. So you don't have to just take out you can actually sit down and enjoy all this exotic goodness Monday to Sunday between 4:30 and 10 pm.

This is a wonderful place to dine; the interior is elegant, huge glass wine goblets and black accents of tablecloth and napkins. Nice simple art decor and the usual amazing menu.

There is the usual vegetarian section that you would expect at an Indian restaurants and prices of entrees range between 9 to 13 dollars.

Today I had the Balti Lamb dish, succulent chunks of boneless meat with spectacular spices and onion, tomato, peppers and honey. Yumm. Balti is a medium spicy curry from Northern India that is very popular in Britain and in Central Europe.

There is a grand array of curries to choose from here, butter prawns, fish curry, chicken, and beef. Of course my meal was crowned with my Gulab Jamun favourite and a nice Mango Lassi on the side.

Good service and a very accessible location, so try the new space out Yelpers.

Hmmmm. Green chili left a bad taste in my mouth recently. Bad chili.

Lazy night in with my boyfriend and as per usual we caved and choose delivery. I placed the order for all our regular favourites. I've been using the iPhone app since I found out about it, and it usually works great, it keeps your address and payment information on file and automatically pays for the order. I submitted everything, was charged, and received my confirmation email indicating I would receive my order within an hour.

An hour and 40 minutes later a very grouchy delivery man arrived demanding a delivery fee of $6 to be paid. OK- I have no problem paying this fee, but why so angry at me? I simply placed an order for delivery via an online app provided , and it's not my fault if it didn't include a delivery charge. After paying him he handed me the bag and marched off. Upon getting inside I noticed we were missing our 2 orders of rice, and missing our requested pops.

We immediately called them to let them know of the error, and whom ever was working literally argued with us for 15 minutes saying we never ordered those items, and we were sent the correct order. I told him I had an online order confirmation, an online receipt, and a paper receipt in front of me, so I am sure he could see what I had ordered but for some reason he was refusing to acknowledge that they made a mistake, and was unwilling to correct it. Finally I asked him to then break down my order of how we arrived at the total of $60, when he was forced to admit my items were missed.

You would think a normal reaction as a business would be apologetic, maybe toss in a free appetizer or 10% off next time coupon. No, no, he then starts telling me that if we want the rice we need to come pick it up ourselves. After arguing with him for another 5 minutes about paying a delivery charge, the order being super late, the fact that it was their error the whole time to begin with, and the fact that I was charged for something they did not give me, he gave in and said they would deliver the items.

What gives green chili? Why the fight over some rice and pop? I think rice is kind of a staple when eating Indian food, soooooo......

I don't know if I'll order from here again to be honest, I was made to feel in the wrong when I wasn't. I love their food don't get me wrong, but you cant treat people like that.

Had to change my review due to the last several orders being disappointing. I do believe they are under new management and that might explain things...

My husband and I loved this place. We ordered at least once a month for the past 2 years. We always got our favs: veggie samosas, butter or korma chicken, various vindaloo dishes and cheese naan. They seemed to have changed their recipes and not for the better (cheese naan is no longer cheesy! whaaaat!?). The prices also went up and they got rid of their free delivery over $50. I no longer feel the food is worth the $60 it costs to get this to my door. That being said, their lunch buffet is still a killer deal and good food and the only way I'll be enjoying Green Chili from now on.

What happened Green Chili??? Why have you done this to me? I feel like I have been spat on by a friend.

It's been awhile, I know that, but, why have you decided to go total mediocre on me?
Your service is slow, the last few times we ordered take out from you, we both felt awful afterwards, so this time we ordered hoping that you wouldn't poison us.

No poison this time, but the food has just lost all oomph. Everything was bland from the samosa to my navrattan korma, where you were really skimping out on the main part of it. The vegetables. It was like a mixed bag of corn and peas with one sliced mushroom and one cube of cheese that you diced into sparrow size pieces and smothered in the sauce in hopes I wouldn't notice.

It was also pretty dead in your dining area when I went to pick up my order. I think people are catching on.

My girlfriend and I have been to almost all of the downtown Indian restaurants. Each one has their own specialty but none of them are "the best". We tried Green Chili one evening and were delightfully surprised.

We ordered the standard Butter Chicken but also picked up the Shahi Paneer which is a cheese type of dish. It was so flavorful and the portions were great for next day left overs. The rice and naan were both fresh. The best part was the price. Green Chili came in much less than other Indian places.

Green Chili has become a staple of our Indian take out. The service is friendly, efficient, and there is lots of parking in the back.

I've been to the Green Chili at Crowfoot and loved it, so naturally I would try the one closest to me this time.

We got there at about 6, so it was empty, except for 2 people waiting for take-out. Service was quick and very friendly.

We ordered 3 curries, lamb vindaloo (I would recommend lamb over other meats as it is fattier and meant to tone down the heat), butter chicken (a guilty pleasure), and a prawn one (forget the name). Along with 2 orders of naan, and some rice.

I noticed right away that the food wasn't very hot, merely warm, so I suspect it may have been reheated as a leftover from the lunch buffet. I know curries can't be made fresh to order from scratch, but I expected a bit fresher, or at least a bit warmer to give us the impression it was fresh. Our vindaloo had a great amount of spice, our butter chicken was a bit short on the chicken part, and the prawn curry was great. Naan was delicious, and we had just enough to take home leftovers for my lunch the next day. I asked for another order of naan to go (but they did cheap me out a bit)

I did also notice that prices and availability differed between online and the menu in store. Prices were about $1-$2 more expensive in the restaurant than online. Which is strange.

Overall, pretty good (A-OK) I'd go back but probably just for a buffet and not for dinner.
