Yellow Chilli Cuisine of India — Restaurant in Calgary

This review encompasses multiple takeouts we have done. The Tandoori mixed platter was delicious, but I think they missed the malai tikka as we later ordered that item separately (see screenshots), so have to subtract a star for that. Chicken lababdar was very good and would definitely recommend that for anyone wanting something different yet similar to a butter chicken or chicken tikka masala. We also ordered a lamb kadai and a lamb rogan josh - both quite different but very flavorful. The rogan josh was a standout and was packed with flavor. Also had a chicken tikka masala and that was pretty standard, great for the kids however. The standouts for us other than the chicken lababdar and the lamb rogan josh, were the biryanis. We ordered all 3 beef, lamb, and chicken biryanis, and the takeout containers were absolutely packed to the brim with food. Furthermore, they contained plenty of meat throughout the biryanis, and the best part was, all of the meat were not dry. Every single piece we had still retained some moisture and was not dry at all, which was a pleasant surprise. The best of them was the lamb biryani which I would highly recommend. When you order, you can adjust the level of spiciness (mild, medium, hot), which is great. Overall, this is a very good Indian restaurant that I would recommend, especially for their biryanis. It's located in a small little plaza with some tables available inside for dine-in. Plenty of parking...

What a hidden gem for me. Met with a friend in that part of town and picked this place because we wanted Indian but had never heard of it. The restaurant itself isn't much....just a few tables and sadly no one sitting in there for lunch but us. Everyone else is missing out! We had butter chicken, aloo Gobi, and lamb Biryani with garlic naan. The food was delicious, the rice plate was huge, and there was plenty of food for us both with lots leftover. The server was attentive and thoughtful, and our experience was fantastic. My only quibble was the heat level....I love spicy food and we ordered medium spicy (tough to know what to do when you're eating with a new acquaintance...) and the spice level was pretty mild. I like it to burn!!! You might call it a hole in the wall...I call it a...

I had a very negative experience here, mostly based on sanitation.

The restaurant looked clean enough, but during our meal, we were constantly surrounded by flies and were shooing them away. That’s not the end of the world, but it wasn’t a great omen.

Towards the end of our meal, someone came in (I’m assuming from a neighbouring restaurant) and asked the server at the front if they could borrow a few lemons. The exact response from the server was “Sorry, our fridge isn’t working”. That’s not a great thing to hear while you’re eating, and surprisingly enough, in the two days since our meal my wife and I have both had rough stomach issues.

I don’t think they take food safety very seriously and I would warn against going here for...
