AGNI- CALGARY INDIAN RESTAURANT — Restaurant in Calgary

I was absolutely thrilled to order some mouthwatering food from Uber! I couldn't wait to dig into a plate of delicious chicken biryani with a medium spice level, accompanied by some heavenly butter naan. After eagerly waiting for 40 minutes, the moment finally arrived when our food was delivered. However, to my dismay, as soon as we opened the containers, we were greeted with a disappointing chill. And when we took our first bites, it turned out to be the most dreadful dining experience ever. I specifically requested medium spice for my chicken biryani, but what we received was a flavorless dish devoid of any heat. To make matters worse, the rice used for the biryani was Thai rice instead of the authentic Indian rice you would expect from an Indian restaurant. Can you believe it? 😂😂 And as if that wasn't enough, they had the audacity to add an excessive amount of food coloring, which left me utterly disheartened after placing my trust in this restaurant. Even the butter naan, which was supposed to be a heavenly delight, turned out to be just an ordinary naan without any hint of buttery goodness. To put it bluntly, this was a complete waste of food. I had spent a total of $30.92, and let me tell you, it was nowhere near worth it for the quality of the food I received. Now, let me be clear with my recommendation: I strongly advise against ordering from this restaurant, despite their seemingly positive reviews. I honestly can't fathom how they managed to maintain such high ratings. Save yourself the disappointment and explore other dining options instead. Trust me, you'll...

Delicious chicken tika masala!! This might be my favorite in town, it’s rich, chicken is tender, peppers are crunchy, I really enjoyed it. Garlic naan was also really good.

Potion was large as always, price is really reasonable, especially for this potion!

Thank you so much, will come back again! ——————- We order delivery from Agni sometimes.everything was good but spice was very mild, I wish there was more aroma from spice.

This recent order, I tried butter chicken curry, lamb vindaloo, chicken biriyani, and some naan breads. Lamb vindaloo had a lot of lamb in it, meat was tender and delicious. Butter chicken was really rich, chicken breast was also very tender. Naan was reasonably priced, I tried butter naan and garlic naan, both flavors were pretty mild, not very buttery or garlicky.

Biriyani was even milder. I like biriyani to be more fragrant with a lot of spice, this one was pretty mild and too soft to my liking. And there were a lot of small bones, i really needed to be careful every bite not to chew or swallow bones.

Price is reasonable, potion is large. Curry tastes good overall so we like ordering from them. I’d like more spice though, it is very westernized spice level. You can choose heat level but regardless of heat level, spice is...

We were super excited to see that an Indian restaurant had opened in our neighbourhood, and ordered the lunch special to give it a try. We got the daal tadka and butter chicken specials, and were delighted. The flavours are incredible. They do such a good job of making those standard menu items really stand out! We’ve since ordered for dinner from them and were very impressed with what we got. The amount of time from call to pickup was about 30 minutes, the portions were more than enough for us plus a few meals worth of leftovers, and everything was very tasty!

The flavours are very well balanced, and nothing is too salty, too bitter, or too spicy. Though we would both describe the spice level as mild, a pleasant and comforting warmth, someone who cannot handle any level of heat whatsoever might notice it. I include this just for anyone who has trouble with heat. The dishes we’ve ordered so far aren’t meant to be spicy, so we’ve agreed that the vindaloo is next on the list!

Especially if you need a quick meal, the lunch special is a great deal and comes with a lot of food.

Overall, very excited that they’re in the neighbourhood and have determined to make them a part of our...
