We took advantage of the Facebook advertised "Buffet" and made an early reservation for 1730 on Wednesday night. I was pleased to see we were among the first diners in, and for a short while the only ones taking advantage of the buffet. It had a very nice sampling of items that would commonly be ordered off of the menu, but chief among those were Dahl Makhni, Butter Chicken, Saag Paneer, Chicken Biryani and Tandoori Chicken with a variety of sides such as Raita, pakora, mango chutney and more, with Gulab Jamun and what I beleive was Carrot Halwa for dessert.
Some of the items seemed to have been made ahead and were not as fresh as I felt they could be, but as more diners arrived, the catering pans were refilled and it improved.

When I opened the nachos I saw a piece of plastic so I pulled it out( first issue.... plastic in food). After pulling it out I realized it was someone's Bandaid, which is obviously concerning. the noodles looked super tasty, but we still couldn't eat them after that incident since it speaks hygienic problems and health and safety concerns. You're supposed to wear a glove when you have a cut and/or bandage on while handling food, which this is proof this person did not.
The food is good here, I won't argue with that, but just warning others to cautious and maybe reconsidering ordering food from here, unless they have a visit from the Healthy and...
Read moreVisiting City Kitchen has left us with unforgettable memories. The delightful dining experience and its warm and attentive service made us fall in love with this place. The menu featured delicious cuisines from all around the globe. The new special item, Jhol Momo was mouthwatering, and so was their unique noodle called Pad-Thai. The dining experience was beyond my expectations. Apart from delicious food and warm welcoming service, their location is also one of their strengths. They are in the heart of Downtown, Charlottetown. Whether for a special occasion or a casual night out, City Kitchen is a must-visit for fantastic food and a charming setting. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a wide variety of international food and a memorable dining experience in Downtown,...
