Once discovered, I keep coming back and have tried a variety of their dishes with my favourite being the samosa chaat. Prices are very fair, you can conveniently order your food online ahead of pickup and service is always great.

We tried chicken samosa, not as per expectations. It may be due to not cooked properly. However, ambitious of this shop was good, will try other items next time from this shop. Thanks

Worst food i ever had in Calgary. Ordered chole bathure and veg machuria, both of them smelled and tasted so bad I couldn’t even take a bit from both of them. It seemed like they delivered food which was cooked several days before, Machuria literally turned mushy and paste like as soon as I served on my plate. Chole curry looked like it was mixed with water to make that gravy. Puri was so thick and undercooked. Finally all the food is undercooked, not freshly made, smell & taste is worse. Never gonna order from them again. Adding points to my review in response to the owner’s comment below. My review is 100% accurate, and I provide feedback on my experience as a customer.

Title: Disappointing Experience: Samosa Cafe I recently ordered ten samosas from Samosa Cafe for a gathering, based on a previous positive experience with their samosas. However, this time around, the samosas were not up to par. They were neither fresh nor fully cooked, as evidenced by the attached picture. This was certainly not what I was expecting, and unfortunately, none of my guests were able to enjoy them due to their poor quality. I hope the management takes note of this feedback and ensures better quality control in the future.

We were very excited for this restaurant and was waiting for it to open so that we have an indian street restaurant in Airdrie. We ordered cholle bhature - after taking the order, they said that Bhature were not available so if we could go for either Garlic/Plain Naan. We said being a new restaurant, it happens so lets go for Garlic naan and give it a try. Instead of preparing any fresh naan - they served us a plain (not even garlic) frozen pre packaged naan. The cholle were also re-heated from a frozen packaging. While placing the order, we said we would dine in but even then plates were not offered - just a take out box and foil to eat.

I bought a Halwa Puri from here which did not taste like Halwa Puri at all. Puris were like Parathas & Halwa was tasteless. Changes were hard. All of this was very expensive. I will not come be returning to this place.

Ordered manchurian on weekend and it was taste like as they put whole pack of cumin in one serving of manchurian and no taste of soy sauce and only taste of ketchup and cumins with veggies. Overall, it was not taste as machurian that we ordered from another restaurants. My family ordered different food on different occasions, other food tastes good but I don t recommend manchurian.

We have always had a great experience at this location. The food as well as the service has always been excellent. We particularly enjoy the Veg Thali, Veg Pakoras, and Bread Pakoras. I also really like that they have Limca and Thumbs up at this location. Having grown up in India, it always brings back fond memories!

We tried their food few months back it was good but last time we bought sweets from them and it was totally garbage gulab jamun was sour. Today order food from them through Uber , totally disgusting food my 10 year old can make better samosa than their food . Very poor will not recommend this place to anyone

Absolutely amazing! From the outside, yes it looks like a little cafe tucked into a strip mall. But they have a full Indian restaurant menu. I have not had a disappointing experience yet. If doing take out, I recommend ordering ahead of time as they prepare at order. Which makes it even better, you know your food is not just sitting there waiting for someone to order it.

We ordered samosas and pakoras from Samosa Cafe last weekend for a samosa sampling party. Everyone brought samosas and pakoras from restaurants in Calgary, including from a lot of great ones in the NE. It was unanimous that Samosa Cafe had the absolute best samosas AND pakoras. They were sooo perfect. And Ive eaten a lot of samosas. I cant comment on their other dishes because I havent tried them yet but I will definitely be back to do so.

January 21, 2024

I ordered garlic naan for takeout. They gave us frozen naan which was awful. Never recommend this place

★★
January 21, 2024

I ordered some food yesterday. It was overpriced and the taste was too bland. No spices. The sauces were thin like water with no taste. I make better samosa and pakode as compare their food. Not worth it.

This guy had his bare foot out on the table nobody working there did anything about it. Although the samosas were excellent.

Edit for a response: We did mention the spice level for the dishes, and we have specifically asked you guys if you can do the butter chicken poutine, which you have accepted but have yet to mention that cheese will not be included. ======================= We ordered butter chicken poutine, Samosa chat, and two Samosas from this place. We have gone through the reviews but dared to buy the food from here. The fries in the Butter Chicken Poutine were soggy, and they had not added any cheese. Poutine comes with cheese, and I wonder how these guys forgot to add that. In Samosas and Samosa chat, we had to add salt to them. It was just bland. I am never coming back or buying anything from these guys! I would not recommend it to anyone who would crave Indian street food.

December 21, 2023

We requested chhole naan, but we were disappointed to find that instead of freshly prepared naan, we were served pre-packaged, frozen naan from a grocery store. When dining at a restaurant, we anticipate that the food will be made fresh rather than served from pre-made items.

Editing the review after my second visit today. Their samosa chat was out of this world. Authentic taste and aromatic flavours. Definitely close to the street food that we get in India. Very well priced at 7$, it was filling. The samosas were much tastier than the previous visit ones as the filling was different. Totally, a must visit Indian food joint in Airdrie.

December 21, 2023

Size of samosas are really small, Can t able to find samosa in samosa chat, preheated naans not even fresh, daal makhi doesn t even taste like daal makhni.. as a community we support new business but not worth it

We ordered takeaway for our familys Thanksgiving potluck. This was for eight people. Our order included butter chicken, rice, samosas, and garlic naan. The butter chicken was very good. Savoiry and not too spicey (the mild version). I had asked if the rice would be th saffron rice and was told yes, however it was ony plain rice. We were told the Naan was not fresh baked, nonetheless, it was very good. The garlic version and was flavourful. The samosas were very good as well. All those who had butter chicken at the dinner really enjoyed it. The serving for eight was plentiful as well. We even enjoyed the leftovers the next day. Will most certainly return and try other menue items in support of this local family business.
