First time trying Nilas and it was very satisfying!
Food: tried the beef rendang. The beef was flavourful and tender but a bit dry, could have used more sauce. Coconut rice was plentiful and perfectly cooked. Gado gado salad was fresh and the dressing was tasty. Slightly bigger portion of beef and less dry would have made this 5 star for me.

Price/Value: overall decent value for quality these days. Slightly more beef by even 1-2 pieces would have made it ideal.

Very impressed with the food and heartwarmed to see how much Nila and her husband care about serving authentic, high quality...
Read moreWent here in August because I was curious if there's any good Indonesian eateries in Calgary. The place itself is a booth in the food court of Crossroads Market. I ordered their Tossed Chicken Noodles (Mie Ayam) to dine in the food court.
As an Indonesian, I really liked the Chicken Noodles. It's not identical to the one in Indonesia, but knowing that it's thousands of kilometers away from Indonesia, this might just be as authentic as it gets! The owners were really nice as well! You might want to give them a visit if you're in Calgary and curious about...
