Martensville doesn't have much in terms of restaurants and fine dining. However, Black Pepper has got you covered on both ends there.
Service 10/10 - Professional and very descriptive as to what they have to offer and very willing to spend the time to explain the dishes to you.
Menu 10/10 - Very descriptive and organized. Took some time before ordering my food to read a bit about the culture and how they like to eat their food.
Food Presentation/Taste 10/10 - I went very basic here, not really knowing much about East Indian Cuisine. Ordered the Butter Chicken with Garlic Naan Bread and Rice. Wasn't expecting much difference from previous experiences with this dish. Boy was I wrong.
First I was brought a flat plate. Followed by the Garlic Naan, Rice and lastly Butter Chicken. Each in their own respective receptacles. Nice touch for people who don't like their food touching. I however, am not one of those individuals. After preparing my dishes for consumption, the first taste just left me floored. I absolutely loved it.
The gentleman who acted as my server, made sure I had everything I needed and made sure that I was enjoying my dish to its fullest.
All in all. Probably the best place in this small town to eat. Especially if your a fan of East Indian Cuisine. First time? Then I highly recommend you start here. Fantastic.
10/10 Guys! Keep up...
Read moreThe second worst experience with Indian food in my life; and I have travelled all over India! First was on Gerrard st in Toronto, in the 80’s and I got sick from the food. Black pepper Saskatoon was fine 3 weeks ago and I figured the one in Martensville would be the same, boy was I wrong. I got 3 vegetarian dishes, all used the same frozen vegetable mix with cut green beans, corn, carrots and Lima beans but different sauces; disgusting how they cheated; nothing like the Saskatoon restaurant where actual vegetables were used, not a mix from a frozen bag. Butter chicken used more of a tomato sauce base and like other sauces was sweet. Never again, this was my first time at Martensville restaurant and last. I think they feel people on none Indian origin don’t know any better. You want to have authentic Indian food, try Kashmere Restaurant on Broadway; we went there 2 weeks ago cuz an Indian multi.millionaire from Toronto recommended it; it was an amazing experience, all 5 of us really enjoyed the food and service. If you have to, then I would pick the black pepper in Saskatoon; would not even get near the one in...
Read moreVisited this place on a Friday evening and was disappointed to see we were the only people there because it has great food and awesome staff! I really hope people start to come back here to eat in person because I would hate to lose this gem of a restaurant. Started with the Fish Pakora and Onion Bahji. As always the fish was tender and well seasoned with raita for dip and the onion bahji was hot and crisp with chutney. Ordered Beef Rogan Josh, Lamb Vindaloo, Asia Chicken and Coconut Scallops with vegetable rice and coconut rice for our entrees with garlic naan and butter naan. We had enough food for 4 adults with healthy appetites with enough leftovers for me to take to work for lunch the next day.
I love the atmosphere of this place. It is very entertaining to see Indian music videos or Bollywood movies playing on the big screen tv. 5 stars all round for food, service and...
