Mehtab East Indian Cuisine - Best Restaurant in Cochrane in Cochrane

Ordered out via Door Dash, very prompt, very helpful, very delicious. It will be a regular on our menu.

Best in town

Always 10/10. Outstanding food by genuinely good people.

The food here is outstanding. However the naan bread is ridiculously overpriced.... $5 each. Add 4 and thats $20 in naan bread alone. More then my meal itself! Could have bought 5 loafs of bread for the cost of 4 Naan.

Food was superb with service to match. We couldn t wait to eat the leftovers we brought home. Generous portions. We also got mango lassi shots on the house. They were divine!

Mehtab restaurant is back to being one of the best ones. When the food was not good they reached out to me and made it right. The beef samosas and butter chicken are amazing but also the momos. Dietary restrictions: Veggie Parking: Park anywhere in the lot Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly Wheelchair accessibility: Yes,

recently moved to Cochrane and happy to say this is the best East Indian cuisine I ve had. Amazing staff and amazing food.

Just like a waooooooo Everything Food,Service and Atmosphere too good Food

Just finished eating an indian buffet at Mentab and it was delicious. On top of that the service was impecable. 5 stars all the way

Incredible food, customer service and energy! They are so kind and attentive and the buffet has an amazing variety of delicious options. Thank you so much!

Best butter chicken I ve ever had and coconut rice. So totally worth driving from Calgary!

Amazing food, great service and ambience. Highly recommended!

Not super impressed with the buffet. Was hoping for a more authentic experience but not bad. Vegetables dishes seem to be using frozen veggies and generally lack the flavour. Paying extra for nan was a surprise.

Service was good, but food wasn t! Tandoori chicken and biryanis were extremely sour. Other dishes were okay!

First Indian restaurant in my life, first time I tried Indian food. Incredibly delicious! I am so pleasantly surprised, I tried most of the dishes from the buffet, which of them was better! Great service. I recommend to everyone! Vegetarian options: About half of the dishes were vegetarian, a wide variety.

Total disappointment. We went here about a year ago and it was good with good food and service. So we went there again today (August 11,2024). It turned out to be a total disappointment. The portion was so small that they were not even enough for a single person, the waiter only came to take the order, deliver the food, and to deliver the bill. To top it up, their prices are outrageous- charging like 5 dollars for a simple butter Naan. This is the last time for us at this place.

I am impressed with the variety in buffet, it s awesome. Everything is mouthwatering. Thank you for the best experience.

best Indian buffett ever!

Nice place to have indian food. Big place, can accommodate large crowds. Service is quick and respectful.

Food is amazing!!! Highly recommended Food

Unprofessional customer service

Really good food and service we got our food within 5minutes!

Great resturant and great staff. Had the lunch buffet and there was a great selection of food. They were topped up frequently with fresh food and lots of naan was brought to our table. The staff were friendly and very attentive. Would definitely come here again!

So much variety at the buffet and the flavours were delicious.

The food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend Paneer makhni with Butter naan. Right amount of spices catering to taste buds of my kids.. my 3 and 6 years old loved Paneer Makhni. Also had one of the best tea Staff was attentive and friendly Overall great Job

Food taste very bad, after eating I was wondering what part of east india eats this kind of food. Chicken biryani was the worst I ever had. Would never try again.

Not only is this place vegan friendly they have many choices. Its difficult to find a really great east Indian restaurant in Alberta. If you love curry and fresh dishes with authentic taste you have to check Mehtab cuisine. Well decorated delicious food. Open Monday when many restaurants in Cochrane are closed.

I have been to this place a few times now and every time I loved the food whatever I tried. The staff is very professional and ambience is superb. After my recent visit I thought this place deserves a good review. Highly recommended!

Incredibly delicious! We ordered the chicken tikka masala with chicken tandoori and garlic naan. Enjoyed it so much we ordered it twice in one week. Best Indian food I ve ever had. 10/10

Delicious food. Good variety of food

We took the buffet option and loved the flavors!

Great place to eat. The food is excellent!

A good place for supper, very good curries ! just be aware of the prices. like $6 Naan bread its good but just pricier than I remember it being at other places. I wish it came along with a meal that your paying for already. and the samosas are also very good! a must try if you want a different food experience. friendly staff there too which is a bonus! Parking: May be more difficult during the busy times to find parking Kid-friendliness: Child friendly, just need to make sure the curry dishes are less spicy.

The best Peshwari Naan I have had in ages. Chicken Tikka Masala was wonderful. Highly recommend the coconut rice as well. Great value. Good food

Food taste old and very oily, over priced for the quality and small portions.

So we ordered tea, onion bhajji, fried momos, tandoori chicken and chicken biryani. Tandoori chicken was good. And I can say this about just that 1 item. Biryani was awful, seemed more like pulao of some kind. That too didnt taste that good. Service was good. Wish I could say the same about the food!

Roop was amazing and the rest of the staff too. Food was so good. Definitely recommend 8 stars out of 6 stars if I could Food

Love this place. Aloo Gobi Rules!!

Went for the buffet excellent experience food and family friendly. Id highly recommend for families.

Food was good but they forget the 12 pieces of nan bread I ordered...

Recently celebrated a 80 +Birthday for my mom who loves flavourful Indian food.TheDal Makhani was very Good, Baighan bharta was very flavourful.The Okra Masala reminded her of the food she grew up with back in India.The Farlic Naan & plain Naan were fresh hot.and Good portion size. I loved the Rogan Josh with Lamb. Excellent in taste very flavourful,great portion size, I would recommend this restaurant asthe food is great tasting,great atmosphere for dining inn,and great management and staff thatprivide exceptional service every time. I have dined here many times and have never been disappointed This will always be my 1st choice for Indian food. Great Job. And thank you for caring Vegetarian options: They have a large vegetarian Menu for everyone

An excellent experience in attention and taste delicious.

If Indian is what you desire , this the place

I was originally going to give this restaurant 2 stars, but I ended up giving it 3 stars because our experience wasnt all bad. There were three of us and we all ordered something different. The veg Pakora was dry and overcooked for all three of us, but the butter chicken was a little too tomatoey for my taste but my other guests liked it. The Prawn Masla was good, though. We also ordered Saffron Rice and Garlic Nan which was delicious. All in all, it wasnt a terrible experience, but there were definite flaws with the food. . However, when it came to the end of the meal, we were given a Styrofoam container and a plastic bag for our leftovers instead of a more sustainable option. First, Styrofoam containers are non-biodegradable and will stay in the environment for hundreds of years, taking up valuable space in our landfills. Additionally, they leach harmful chemicals into the environment. Plastic bags are difficult and costly to recycle and most end up on landfill sites where they take around 300 years to photodegrade. I hope you are willing to change your take out options as it will affect me from not supporting a local business like your

Excellent service and food was amazing.

Great real Indain food.

Delicious Indian food in Cochrane. I think this is the best Indian restaurant in Cochrane. The naan taste, crunchy, softness is perfect. Their Kashmiri pulao is very unique and something g that you can t find anywhere else.

Some of the best Naan in the city. The latest visit was just to pick up Butter and Garlic Naan. This family ran business is one of the friendliest and tastiest restaurants in the city.

I m literally sitting here crying eating disgusting Calgary Indian food wishing soo much I lived in cochrane to have Delicious Mehtab you have the BEST Indian Cuisine in all of Alberta

Fabulous flavours. We had Malai Kafta, butter chicken and naan. The Malai Kafta had a nice rich cashew curry sauce. The paneer and potato balls were fried crispy on the outside with a delicate center. Butter chicken was wonder with a silky smooth tomato sauce and tender bite size chunks of protein. Well be back.

my boyfriend and i love this place! they have a really cheap lunch special which is very tasty, and sometimes a lunch buffet which is just as delicious and great value for a buffet. the staff are nice and the place is clean! i highly recommend this place to anyone in/around/passing through cochrane!

Really good food and super flavored. would be a return customer and the service was super

We continue to be blessed with one of the best Indian restaurants around -- and I dont just mean locally, I mean anywhere! Run by a caring community-minded family too. Love the vindaloo while my wife favors the lamb korma.

Came here first time from calgary for lunch. Food was great and service was awesome

Order from here all the time! The Goat curry is my fave!! Love love the coconut naan bread and coconut rice!! Definitely go to meal!

Absolutely amazing food every time !

Great food and good size portions. Ive ordered take-away a couple of times and will go back again

Absolutely delicious, best curry Ive had in years. The decor is beautiful, the staff is kind, and the prices are very fair for what youre getting. I was stuffed before I could finish but I didnt want to stop eating. I tried the butter chicken and it was delightful but Ill definitely be coming back to try some of their other offerings.

Vegetarian options: Service was so good and food was delicious

Charged double for buffet just cz partner tasted the item.

I live in Cochrane and prefer to shop locally. Mehtab satisfies that and the bonus is great East Indian cuisine.

i got takeout for lunch thinking it would just be another regular meal, but i was blown away by the taste! saffron rice and naan was soo soft and fluffy, i didnt want to put it down! it came fast and hot, really hoping to eat here more often!

Fantastic food & friendly service.

Best Indian food in the entire Calgary/Metro area we ve tried many Indian restaurants in Calgary over the last 25 years Mehtab is First Place.

Quality of food orderd 4 dishes all of them has too much salt in it, Manager and server are brilliant in terms of customer service they offered us voucher and other stuff but I think they need to change the chef.

You can tell they put far more effort into their food than most other indian restaurants. The appetizers have lots of flavour and the samosas are filled with more than just bland potato. The sauces are delicious and the curries are rich and deeply satisfying. Favourites are the okra and korma curries. We will be back again soon! Vegetarian options: 50% of menu is vegetarian

Best Restaurant, loved the food , ambience and very Nice staff . So happy that we visited here .

Good service and food

First impressions not great. Our servers were not friendly and not helpful at all. We were given dirty cutlery and dishes to start. The appetizers were OK but also came out in a dirty plate. The food overall was very bland and I d give them only one star for that. I asked for saffron rice and I got orange rice. I m middle eastern and I know what saffron rice looks and tastes like and what I got was not saffron rice . It was orange rice probably using food colouring. I also know what rice cooked with tomato paste looks and taste like and that wasn t that either. My other half asked for coconut rice and what he got was the same orange rice mixed with white rice and they had used sweetened shredded coconut on top of the rice. It just did not taste right what so ever. I m sorry but this is not even worth one star and the prices I f what came out was absolutely not worth it. McDonalds would have been better in my opinion. You just can t beat Gate of India . Now that s an absolutely amazing Indian restaurant. The food speaks for itself not to mention the owners and all their staff are just amazing. If we were close to Calgary we definitely would have gone to Gate of India instead but unfortunately for us we happened to be in Cochran and we were told this was the best and I m sorry to say that it definitely is not and it s very disappointing. My advice please serve with clean plates and don t falls adverse that you have saffron rice when it s bit saffron that you serve. Also if you will use curtains in a restaurant I d make an effort if actually washing them or keeping them clean. Regards

So this was my first experience eating Indian food . The place was okay. My children danced to their music. The food is filling . The samosas were okay but not what I expected. I went for spicy meal and it was really spicy Kid-friendliness: My children like the place

Excellent Indian food and even better service, incredible variety of selection for the buffet for a very reasonable price!

Really good Indian food. Definitely eat here when you are in Cochrane!

Great food complemented with beautiful surroundings and music

So nice to see the lunch buffet is back!!!

I visited from Calgary to explore Cochrane and found out this restaurant as top rated. Picked up Lamb Qeema Naan and Masala Chai on July 18, 2023 for takeaway. Awesome food taste and quality. Fast service. Decently priced food. Both brothers at the counter were respectful and courteous. Dining area is very clean and hygienic with great ambiance. Awesome experience at this place. Would visit again.

Very good service and great East Indian cuisine.

Brought my new boyfriend here. Amazing food. We had a blast! Very friendly vibes supporting of the LGBTQIA2S+ community as I wore my favorite dress and was not made to feel out of place.

I ordered mango lasi and okra masala, The drink was really fresh. The okra masala was outstanding. Most of all ,for to go order,when I open the box, It was a lot of amount of food, And probably you dont know for travelers that is so important. It was very kind and generous of this place. And Superb delicious. Thank you !

Anytime we are craving Indian food, Mehtab is our go-to in Cochrane. We haven t ever been disappointed in the food and I appreciate how active and supportive the owner is in the Cochrane community. We like to support local businesses and Mehtab is our choice when it comes to Indian cuisine.

Love Mehtab! The butter chicken and saffron rice are my favorite. Service is excellent. Delivery is quick... often quicker than I anticipate. Vegetarian options: Always good vegetarian options.

Food is awesome, the family who run it are so friendly and kind! Great dinner deals! I would recommend it to anyone :) Veggie and meat options

This place has really good food and good service. I love the atmosphere and the vibe that this place gives off. This is a must do experience.

Really good place and really good food.

Very rude behaviour of staff. I order on doordash and the staff told me to cancel the order (when i called them to add cutleries) because it was very small order. It wasnt small actually, it was one plate of gobi manchurian worth $20 in doordash. Yet, they didnt gave me cutleries. The food was also not so good.

local review in monthly community paper, The Cochrane Post: food & service Lunch, dinner, takeout, delivery, daily buffet that is also available for home or work, accepts reservations, accessible ramps & doors, family friendly and happy hour. I like this restaurant because the food is really good, flavourful and a great value, large portions. Nice and helpful staff who make good recommendations for your order. First impression: smells so good as I walk in, friendly, welcoming. I ordered for takeout and picked it up myself (with Miss Betty in the front basket, see pic) to see what the atmosphere was like clean, casual, relaxing, lots of parking and surprisingly peaceful inside since outside is a busy strip mall. My order was packed very well, no leaks and still hot when I got home. Lots of choices for vegetarians along with classics like clay oven Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken, momos, variety of rices and breads including outstanding Garlic Naan. It s nice to have another quality restaurant in town. Well done! My favourites so far: Paneer Makhani so good, I could get this every day, Madras Coconut Vegetables, Garlic Naan and the Coconut Rice. Great lunch with a friend, I can t wait to go back.

Excellent restaurant Go to for their Vindloo, such a full bodied gravy followed by the ever so lovely heat. Butter chicken & korma and many other fabulous meals and sides . Of course

Taste great! But unfortunately I almost broke a tooth on a piece of chicken bone in my butterchicken...

Girlfriend came here to eat, waiter gave a menu with different pricing and told them about wrong prices and food options. Bill comes out to be way more than expected, waiter said Naan was provided, asked if there would be additional cost, they said no. That was a lie. When confronted about it they did nothing about it. So if you want to be lied to and then pay more than whats advertised highly recommend coming here.

Amazing food!

Ordered last night for pick up and it was quick hot and delicious! They didn t have the saffron rice ready so offered me coconut rice instead and omg was it delicious lol.

Great food, great service, highly recommend!

Service was horrendous. Me and my gf eat at a different indian restaurant every week and the service was horrendous. Told our waiter that the samosas were cold and he said ok sorry and thats it. Also the only restaurant ive been to ever that charges for pop refills. Subpar food, worse service. Far better indian restaurants. Wasted $80

I like the buffet idea! You can try just a little bit of different dishes All food is so tasty, I fell in love with naan! and dessert! Friendly staff and smell so good inside! Now I am fun of Mehtab! Food : 5/5 |

Met an old friend for lunch. Ive never had much Indian food before. The buffet was a good value and the service was great. Nice clean place. If I get the craving for Indian food Id certainly go back.

Excellent customer service. Accommodating people with allergies, & not compromising taste! Well done.

Nice ambiance, very tasty food. The waiter looked after us well. Definitely recommended.

We love this place. Delicious food and great service.

Hands down the best Indian food Ive had

Delicious food and they are very community minded, helping others in need.

Great food Great service great place

AMAZING food and wonderful and welcoming atmosphere!!! you can tell it is made with a great deal of care and everything tasted absolutely perfect <3 decor and music were phenomenal and there were so many vegetarian options which I loved; Im usually only able to choose between two or three. i had a hard time deciding what to get! awesome drink selection as well with super fun flavours like lychee lemonade which you rarely see. will definitely be coming back next time Im in the area!!!

We went to Mehtab for their Valentines Day buffet. The sevice, flavors and selection were superb! Highly recommend it!

This was my third visit to Mehtab, and certainly wont be the last. Every single thing Ive ordered has been fantastic. Im pretty wimpy when it comes to spice that burns your mouth off! Im happy to report there are many, many options for those like me who are a bit of a wimp . The naan is awesome, and so is the roti! Serving sizes are generous, and the service is great. Do yourself a favour and order coconut naan for dessert!!! Possibly next time I will be able to get a photo before we start inhaling the food.

Tasty cuisine with a professional and courteous service. Employees welcome you with a smile and appreciate you coming in. I recommend this restaurant for anyone that wants to try something different.

Food was delicious.

Very tasty food ,really good service Preetpal serve very well. He is awesome guy.

Delicious! Never disappointed when we order from Mehtab :)

Sites still show buffet open but, they have not had a buffet for months says the host. I strongly suggest they update their media advertisements.

We have eaten at Mehtab East Indian Cuisine in Cochrane, Alberta several times. We have enjoyed both their buffet & items off the menu. Wonderful food experience & the service is the best. We are blessed to have them in our local town.

So good! Excellent food and service!

Delicious never tasted veggies cooked like theirs before and lots to choose from

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Amazing food and service. Great portions and great prices!

First time here but really loved the food. I ordered Beef Biriyani, Mango Lassi and Rice Pudding. The beef in the beef biriyani was soft enough and the Biriyani over all was really good. Mango lassi was the best lassi Ive ever had in Canada so far and the Rice pudding was also not bad at all. All in all 10/10, will come again.

Gem of a place with quite reasonable prices for the portion size. Great food and service. Dishes were cooked with much care to perfection. The butter Naan is layered and melts in your mouth! Will definitely be back.

Food was great as was the service

First time visit. This was my 76 th birthday celebration with family. Food was generally disappointing. Best were breads, especially, Keema prontha. Yes and deserts were excellent. Our of the main dishes, chicken achari and bitter chicken were truly done nicely. Okra, bainganbartha, makhni dal were okay. Paneer dishes were reasonable. Service was excellent. There was personal touch. Prices are reasonable.

Great food and great service!

We ordered takeout last night and the food was so outstanding, I had to post a comment. The onion bhajia, chicken tikka masala and lamb korma seriously - might have been the best I ve ever had. The food was piping hot and absolutely delicious. Thank you Mehtab.

Best food... great service really friendly owner... highly recommend

This place does NOT have a buffet despite what the website says. Disappointed drive from Calgary only to find out they don t have it anymore.

they serve Microwaving frozen Food ... Costumer service

Truly enjoyed food very much delicious food. Staff very nice

Average Indian restaurant

Great food. The tandoori chicken is the best Ive ever had. This is a must try for anyone. Staff is also great here too. So, update:, ate here numerous times always tasted great, last time tho.. found a LARGE WHITE WHISKER HAIR in my food! Not only that I found it only after we ate most of our to go order. It was truly disheartening given I had previously recommended this place quite highly. Tastes great! Chance of facial hair!!

Really delicious! New to the area and wanted to find a great Indian restaurant - Mehtab does not disappoint! Definitely will order again!

Awesome butter chicken. Just go for extra spice as its pretty mild.

Good food and reasonably price

Maybe have some patience until your guests finish their food and not kick them out as soon as the bill is paid

The food was delicious and the serving sizes were large.

Visited this place when I was on vacation. Great food and great people. A family run business helping the community too. I got the lamb biriyani and was delicious. Must visit place if you visit Cochrane Alberta.

An absolutely wonderful meal experience. We shared tasty veg pakora that came with a tangy chutney on the side. A plate of steamed rice was enough to share and each of us added our own main. I had beef roganjosh, which was zesty and very tender. We also had aloo Gobi and the kitchen was kind enough to reduce the coriander garnish as per our request. Add coconut veg Madras and we had enough to take home for a lunch for one of us. The staff were polite, attentive and helpful. The restaurant was spotlessly clean and the ambience created was perfect and added to our enjoyment. Close enough to Calgary to make the drive and worth the travel. Highest recommendation.

great food and i especially love their hospitality towards Everyone who comes in!

Not only they have great food, but they also actively offer a lending hand to help the community in need.

Very good ambience, food and service.....

Ordered lamb vindaloo and rotis and naans take out, meat was SO OLD that it was INEDIBLE and had to throw it in the trash.luckily i ordered pickle also and so had to eat the rotis and naans with just pickle for supper....wont go to this place again....

They were so helpful as we ordered the food in the last 15 mint they were going to close but they still accepted pur order. The food was so good and they were so friendly.

We went there somewhat one hour before closing. The server was kind and gave us great suggestions. We got 4 naan (4 people), tandoori chicken appetizer, butter chicken and Rogan Josh curries. Later we also added chicken biryani. The restaurant was very clean and the food didnt take long. Everything tasted incredibly divine! Even got to chat with the owner after dinner. Overall, a great experience and would 100% recommend it.

Best restaurant with Great Service ever. Extra 5 for your exceptional service. The owner Jag and the staff is so polite and their service is amazing. We had our son s Tilak ceremony small function for 60 persons one weeks ago. The quality of the food was very good and food was so delicious, so fresh with good quantity. Everyone enjoyed delicious food. . Food delivery was on time. Special thanks to owner Jag for making our day so great. Thanks

The food is amazing. We had Malai murg tikka, daal makhni, chaat papri and tandoori roti and everything was very delicious. We also had mango shake and it was fresh and very tasty. Food

First time going tonight, and Im so wishing I went sooner. Wow!! Food was so tasty. Definitely a new favourite spot for our family.

Excellent food and friendly service. Will dine here again.

I went for dinner, we ordered the butter chicken and Tikka Masala, I must say it was the absolute worst butter chicken I have ever had, it was basically like ketchup, and the chicken you can tell had been frozen. Customer service was horrible and we will never go back. It tasted just like the name sounds....meth lab.

I had a lovely dinner here. I ordered two dishes that were recommended and I adored them. Eating in the restaurant is the best. They have a nice wine list and it s really nice inside. Great flavours and service. The naan is epic.

My new favorite restaurant. I used to dine Indian in Vancouver regularly years ago. Its been a while but finding Mehtab is like finding a pot of Butter Chicken gold with a side of epic naan at the end of the rainbow. You wont be disappointed. The decor is simple and tastefully done. The place is clean and cozy. The service is polite, warm and impeccable. I can tell this family business wants you to be so pleased. I went two nights in a row it was so fabulous. I took my 11 year old and my 14 year old. They just loved it. They cleaned out all the dishes of food!! Be sure to take a moment to read the little paper sign on the door. Just heart warming and motivates a desire to support these special business people. Bravo Mehtab. Well done and all the best to you.

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere! Great service. We get the lunch special and it s 10/10 every time!

Always fantastic service and even better food.

Mehtab is the best Indian food we have ever had! Very lucky this outstanding business is local to us. The owners are also very caring and community minded! Would give 10 stars if we could!!!

Ive been a big fan of this restaurant for many years now. The food always tastes fantastic and delivery is always quick and on time! I highly recommend Mehtab East Indian Cuisine if you havent tried them already. Cheers!

We keep coming back for the butter chicken but everything I ve tried has been phenomenal. So much flavour and just the right amount of spicyness. I am blown away by their work supporting people in the community and their dedication to not wanting any family to go without food.

They advertise as gluten free but when you order they tell you its not. False advertising. One fryer means they need to stop advertising gluten free products that are not.

Best Indian Food, Excellent customer service and nice ambience.

Friendly and accommodating staff. Great taste. Certainly going back whenever I am in Cochrane.

Taking all covid precautions. Love it

Excellent place to dine !! This restaurant offers free meal to the needy.

Really great food and great prices.

AMAZING! Smells so good when you walk through the doors! The food was delicious! The staff was super friendly and the owner was a sweetheart! Definitely recommend!!!

We heard from others about Mehtab Restaurant but have never eaten here before. ordered food from here for my husbands birthday ,order was dilivered on time, and absolutely delicious. Impressed by quality of food, holds true indian flavor just like back home. Great food at a great price in the Town of Cochrane. Will definitely order again!

Amazing! The sign on the front door says it all, if you are without money or food they will help you with a hot meal or at least a coffee. The humanity shown here warms my heart.. not to mention the food is absolutely delightful! The coconut rice is a staple at my house now! Good job all around

I used to eat here when I had Indian food cravings. I liked their vegetable masala and butter chicken. The chicken biriyani is not as great as the one I had in the Middle East but it was not all that bad. You can expect a friendly service all the time too.

I had a great experience . Food was really delicious and well prepared.

First Madras we ve had that was predominantly coconut mixed with frozen veg with a non-spicy spice mix. Mixed thoughts on here. Most chicken and the veg in any vegetable dish seems to be from frozen rather than fresh as the cubed chicken has a weird soft non meat texture to it and the veggies are from a frozen, then you have the Tikka and it s pretty dam good...another bug bear is they must blend the sauce as it s always just frozen tenderized chicken and gravy with most dishes. If anyone asks me about his place, it s always a mweh whilst wavering my hand.

We love a curry and these guys always leave us happy and full to the brim! Great portion sizes and quality!

We ordered takeout tonight and when I walked into the restaurant the aroma was incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at home. Will definitely return. Hopefully we can dine in soon.

We order chicken and mutton biryani , taste was good and quantity was more than enough . Once lockdown is over , we will definitely come back to taste buffet good job .

Amazing food! Great service and the best part they are so nice to the community by offering free meal to people in need. Super recommended!

I dont claim to be a food expert, but I grew up in Toronto eating Indian food, and by my standards this place is top notch. Every dish weve tried has been memorable and delicious, with extra special commendations for the coconut rice, and naan. Even my spouse, who thinks HP Sauce is spicy, has found things she loves on the menu, and suggests ordering here more often than I do now. They are also an active part of the community, and were amazing through the pandemic. That might not change the taste of the food, but it does make me like supporting them back. The staff on the phone and on delivery have been friendly and professional. Mehtab is great, and definitely not on my list of things that I thought Id love about moving to Cochrane.

Always the best. Fresh, flavorful and filling. Excellent menu and always looking to explore the depth of dishes.

Food is amazing & authentic. Atmosphere & ambiance is welcoming. Staff is friendly & owner Jag came few times to check how everything is. Will come back again. If you are looking authentic Indian food. This place is must try.

I don t normally write reviews but after the amazing experience we had Friday night, I absolutely wanted to. Someone from Calgary recommended Mehtab saying it was excellent if we were interested in eating authentic East Indian cuisine. As soon as we arrived in the restaurant, we felt welcomed. The dishes that were suggested to us were scrumptious!! We love coconut so we had coconut rice, chicken madras & Madras coconut vegetables! Wow, each dish was infused with amazing flavours! We have just moved to Cochrane and are quite pleased that this restaurant was recommended to us! Looking forward to coming back and trying out new dishes! A++ if you ask me.

Food was so good..and all the staff is really nice

Great food, great service...the price for the lunch special was phenomenal! Love to support local business and Mehtab never dissapoints! Will definitely be back soon!

Delicious food, great portion sizes and excellent service!

Delicious, attentive service. Mehtab draft pairs quite well with the meal. We had a good selection of food and everything was so good. will definitely go again soon!

Best Indian cuisine Ive been to and very kind staff!

This place goes over and above with service. The food was AMAZING- our entire party of 8 loved every bite and we were still raving about it hours later. Prices were very reasonable for food of this quality. We will definitely be back!

It is wonderful to have such a great establishment in Cochrane. The food is fantastic, and they always seem to find a way to outdo themselves.

The food is amazing and the portions were big!! The Service was incredible. I look forward to eating here again.

Fantastic service and food, plus they are willing to feed the less fortunate...why go anywhere else?

Excellent East Indian food! Service was professional and prompt. We had the beef kadahi, baigan bharta, and tandoori chicken. The flavours were excellent. 100% recommend.

Perfect , delicious and cheapest food as compare to other restaurants. Get delicious lunch box in just 10$ amazing. I suggest at least try once

Great food at reasonable prices. Server was very polite & professional.

Great food and service!

Best Indian food in Cochrane with great service! we recently visited this fine restaurant, had a splendid evening with the efficient service, and magnificent food. The owners are very nice and humble. Highly recommend!

Best Indian restaurant in Calgary- Cochrane region chicken Madras super tender and lamb has been the best as always. Stuffed naan really awesome. If I can give any suggestion would be have small container box instead of lunch box for packing up the leftover curry. In a word this place gonna be the reason I ll drive to Cochrane after work then drive back home.

Loved the fresh crispy garlic naan and spicy kadai chicken. Butter chicken was okay. Ample parking space. A decent place to have food.

The lunch special is delicious and affordable.

We are new to Cochrane went to Mehtab on a recommendation. I lived in Vancouver for 4 years & this was better than any East Indian restaurant I had tried there. And I ate a lot of it. Don t hesitate to try them, you won t be disappointed. And bring an appetite their portions are generous. They deserve special recommendation due to their generosity & community support as well. On their door there was a sign welcoming anyone, including those who could not afford to eat. Good people with big hearts behind some awesome food. There is no business more deserving of my patronage.

Superb!! Would go again !

Great food great service. I loved their butter chicken and the mutton curry

Ordered butter chicken, saag paneer, dal makhani,pakoras and saffron rice. Pakoras had a powdery texture possibly from poor mixing of the chickpea flour. Butter chicken was made with a mainly tomato paste; more Italian than East Indian and not good in any case. Saag paneer smelled good but was barely passable possibly not good quality frozen spinach. Saffron rice was only saffron coloured, no actual saffron, possibly low quality cumin and no cardamom; not tasty. The dal makhani was the only really edible dish. Give this one a pass and try another place.

Delicious food at a reasonable price

The food was on time to the minute for pickup. First time ordering and we got a range of dishes. Everything was excellent. Thank you.
