Indian Fusion - The Curry House — Restaurant in Greater Strathcona

There are so many Indian restaurants in Edmonton so the bar is set very high for quality of food.

This spot takes over the abandoned old King and I spot just off Whyte Avenue. Parking is sparse as the city has put up no parking signs on both sides of the street outside of this restaurant. I can imagine thaf makes it difficult in the winter to access this place.

Once inside, the decor has been changed up to a hip darker setting to emulate a more modern locale.

I've been here twice and the food was ok. I didn't find it mind blowing. The vindaloo was more tomato based and not as saucy than what I'm familiar with. I also tried the Kadai which was quite good. I was surprised that they didn't have Dal Tarka on the menu so we ordered the Masoor and it was also quite good. The naan is moist...not crispy like oven baked naan. The reason I give three and not four stars was because the rice wasn't great. I ordered both the basmati and the saffron. They were very dry and the grains were very small. Especially with saffron, I'm accustomed to a plumper fuller grain with a more robust flavor.

It may be that the food quality was affected because I ordered takeout. Also...the service was ok. It wasn't friendly. I made some customizations to the order and I felt like was bothersome.

As I said, there's a LOT of Indian restaurants around Whyte and downtown. Hopefully this establishment can make it in a very...

I had heard rave reviews about the fare offered, however the generous community service offered was my final impetus for heading to the restaurant. I wanted to support someone who so whole heartedly supported others. We were not disappointed by the taste, the quality nor the speed in which our meal was delivered. It was absolutely delicious and fulfilling. What does have us debating whether or not we shall return is the front of the house staff. Not wanting to appear presumptive, we patiently waited a few minutes to be seated. When we were finally acknowledged, we received a very abrupt and perfunctory "yes?". When we expressed that we needed a table for 2 we were waved towards a table. By no stretch did we receive the warm greeting we were lead to believe was customary The woman that seated us was also our server. Approximately 10 minutes after she brought us our extensive menus all she asked was 'ready to order yet?'. No pleasantries, no comments regarding the menu. We asked for a few more minutes and she made us feel like an inconvenience. I felt so unwelcome and was ready to walk out at that point but felt bad for already occupying a table. When she returned to take our order she was very impatient and once again made us feel like a bother. Never have I ever been made to...

This is the best Indian restaurant in the province of Alberta. The quality of the ingredients, the complexity of the spice mixes, and the unique ingredients are unmatched by any other Indian restaurant. We have been going to Indian Fusion for over ten years and argue over which dishes to order each time because there are SO many excellent choices. Shahi Paneer & Beef Vindaloo are usually among the mix for us. And the naan is the perfect mix of chewy & crisp. Even though we moved to Calgary, we still go back and get a massive order every time we visit Edmonton. We can’t get enough. The ambiance in the restaurant is super fun for a night out - they even have live music! Their new location just off Whyte is bigger than their last, so lots of space for your celebrations!

Beyond the incredible food & space, the family-run restaurant is staffed by the kindest people you will meet. You will feel welcomed and well taken care of by this amazing team. The chef, Prakash, offers free meals to people experiencing homelessness in Edmonton - even now, at a time when restaurants are still struggling. This is the kind of incredible local restaurant you want in your community. I highly recommend you check it out. You...
