Y Not Indian Bar & Bistro — Restaurant in Edmonton

Food is reasonable on most days. I wouldn’t call it true North Indian as biryani and dal makhani, malai kofta, meat korma, meat vindaloo etc and a most of the menu is not serving true North Indian dishes. Most North Indian dishes do not use yogurt or milk in their cooking and if you start venturing into true North Indian it’s all about dry spices and masala’s. Being half Nepali and half north indian I’ve grown up knowing what true North Indian food is.

Never the less this restaurant does serve much taster dishes then majority of the Indian restaurants in town and they all have the same menu and dishes no matter which Indian restaurant you prefer or go too.

Eaten here a few times and it all depends on the day and whether you food will be ok or excellent. I guess consistency in flavour would be a good way to put it.

Staff they really need to work on as they have a few working that don’t know what being a server is about. Waiting a table has alot more to it then just bringing food and drinks to a table.

Weird and strange thing happened as I visited the restaurant a few weeks ago with a group of friends and family as the little children in our group had bottled pop from outside they wouldn’t let us dine in. I laughed and our group walked out to the next restaurant as I guess we would have spent easily $150-$200 on dining that night there but because my younger nephew had a bottle of cream soda bought at a different store not in there restaurant that we were not allowed to eat in. I wonder do you make money on the food you sell or the limited variety of pop that is sold in your...

Heard a lot about the place and wanted to try with my family. Went as a table for 5, greeted us promptly and sat us opposite to a window, Wish they had blinds to give us shade the sun was bright on and shiny little uncomfortable, The server took our order, for apps. we ordered soup ,veg Manchuria, chili chicken with garlic naan , They got the soup first we did asked. For split but they just got one full cup with empty on side no SPOON Not sure why they didn't split the soup in kitchen, was hard to split ourselves without spills. Soup was great. We got the chili chicken but the taste wasn't that good, we had to return it as it had some foul smell. Veg Manchuria- the veggie balls are not deep fried enough, they were gooey . Our naan was never served with apps. Upon reminding the server got us naan and a new fish dish replacing the chicken . Fish was very good loved it For main course we ordered goat biryani and chicken fried rice . Biryani was okay the usual curry mixed with rice and they call it biryani . Chicken fried rice had chunks. Of tandoori chicken. My wife asked me if I ordered the TANDOORI CHICKEN FRIED RICE . I was shocked to see that, I was like they might have used left over tandoori chicken which was re used . We packed the food and left with great 10% Discount which I returned in tips. Good food cannot go with bad service and bad food can always go with good service, The server seemed knowledgeable may be he was the owner. I wish him good luck and hopefully they are busy so that they can serve fresh food when we go...

Very very disappointing dont even wanna give 1 star. I have been a regular customer here several several times.. went there for dinner w my fiance. Waited there for 1 hr for my food but ir didnt come. At last i had to leave bcz i was so hungry tht I couldn’t endure any more of it.. nothing to blame on the staff but the person who does the scheduling.. you should know when restaurants gwt busy nd need more staff.. there were only 2 people at the front and they clearly could not handle the hugeee amount of people that were coming jn as well as online orders and phone calls.. it is not actually possible.. really very disappointing as we love tneri food and the staff is also very nice. These r the things that make a restaurant different feom others and this is also where they lose points.

Forgot to mention— i had made a reservation through phone and they had confirmed it still i had to wait for the table and then i had to ask the employee to plss take my order and then another hour for the food. It was sk so disappointing i cant stop...
