    Take out butter chicken and garlic naan
    Miss Lady ..

    We ordered the butter chicken and garlic naan. It was good. Not too spicy. The naan were big n soft. We wanted to order samosas but it would have taken 10 minutes to make. I suppose that's a good thing though, they would be fresh. We declined at this time due to time constraints. I would recommend this place

    Excellent Indian (well, technically Pakistani) restaurant. Everything was very fresh and well prepared. The spice level was just right. The place was packed with people from India, thus, you can rest assure that the food is authentic. Just typing this is making me hungry. Think I will go back for more... Get the grill combo! Update: am impressed with their vegitarian dishes. had the green peas and paneer curry, two thumbs up!

    Great big doughy naans

    Got a butter chicken (for the kids) and a beef madras for me, along with some naan. The kids liked theirs but it was a bit spicy for them. My beef madras was great. The naan were BIG, soft and doughy made as we stood there. Reminded me of the naan I ate in Pakistan. Fast service, fast to the table. Affordable. A gem of a hole in the wall. My favourite kind of surprise.

    Lunch special again

    3.5* (minus 1/2 star only cuz I get thirsty afterwards....) Lunch special $7.95. (about a 10 min preparation time) includes: pakora, butter chicken, fresh made naan, safron rice, and some veggie thingy. Very tasty! and their kabobs look delicious as well. :)

    I use to go out for lunch all the time but lately I haven't gone out for lunch because I'm trying to be more 'healthy' and I bring my own lunches to work. I work in the NE so lunch options are normally limited to fast food joints as one hour lunch just doesn't seem long enough. Even though I don't eat out that often, I still search Yelp! because I enjoy reading review and trying new places. Indian food. That is what I have been craving for a long time. I could be flakey when people ask me to go out for lunch because I'd rather go to the gym but this time I chose a restaurant and set a date so I know I wouldn't flake out. Spice hut is located in a strip mall area, semi hidden, right across from the KFC in the Hunterhorn shopping area NE. It was around 11:45am on a Wednesday afternoon when we arrived. Before entering, I pause and said "wow this place does look pretty ghetto...it must be amazing then!" because most hole in the walls are...at least for me! Surprisingly, it wasn't busy at all! There were only two other people dining at this hour. Spice hut is a pretty small restaurant with only 7 tables - 2x4 tops, 2x6 tops and 3x2 tops and a visible kitchen area. From reading the review, we immediately knew what we wanted but still glanced at the menu. The menu doesn't have the lunch special in it but there is a poster on the window outside as well as a small poster inside that promotes the $7.95 lunch special. The lunch special includes: butter chicken, curried veggies, miz vegi pakoras, vegetable samosa, rice and a piece of naan bread. It also came with two sauces: a medium hot sauce and a sweet yogurt sauce. For drinks, we ordered waters to which we received a jug of water and plastic cups (a little ghetto ;)). I had to order a mango lassi which is a traditional indian beverage which is normally made from yogurt, water and mango pulp. It's a perfect pairing for spicy indian food - it helps cool your tongue and it's pretty tasty. Our food came out pretty fast and I got super giddy as per usual. Of course I had to snap 100 pics before I dug in. I went for a mixture of the butter chicken sauce and rice ...bliiiiissss! It was exactly what I wanted. It was tasty, the butter chicken wasn't anything AMAZING but it was good. The butter chicken was a mild spice which was nice for me (I don't like toooo spicy). While I was eating, I could see them preparing some naan so I asked the guys if they wanted to share an order of garlic naan..but before they could answer, I had already gone up to the front and ordered it :) hehe. It didn't take long for them to prepare garlic naan which came in four pieces. The pakora is a deep fried vegetable snack, there are two pieces and they have a nice chewy crunch and a slight onion flavor, yummy. The vegetarian samosa was crunchy with a mash potato texture inside. Overall everything was really tasty, Steven and Parker literally wiped their plates clean. You definitely get a bang for your buck with this lunch special. Okay, so now you know my secret.....$7.95 for *see photo* all of that delicious food? It's FANTASTIC! You definitely get your money's worth here. Go...now!!

    Chicken Vindaloo,  Nehari, naan

    I was pleasantly surprised by Spice Hut. It's tucked away in Huntington Hills. I had been driving around for a while, hungry and undecided as to what I was craving when I saw the name. The place is sparsely decorated but clean. Utilitarian tables and chairs that you would find in small take-out places fill the seating area. Menu is broken down to the usual sections with a middle section of their specialties. I opt to try the Nehari, beef shanks slowly cooked in special spices for hours. The proof is in the eating with tender morsels of melt-in-your-mouth beef, the flavour is very subtle. The heat is there though. I was warned that both my dishes were very spicy. The Nehari is not as spicy as the Vindaloo. The chicken Vindaloo packed the real Vindaloo heat but it was a little (just a smidgen) too tomatoey for me. The chicken pieces were nice and tender. All in all good Indian food. The prices are extremely reasonable with the Nehari at $9.99, and @8.99 for the Chicken Vindaloo. I ordered 2 naan @ $1.50/ea. The naan was a little dry but it looked really good coming out of the tandoori. I'll try rice or Roti next time. Parking is plentiful.

    Skewer platter and lunch special - both were tasty

    Great food for very reasonable prices. Slightly awkward setting for a first timer but owner was very welcoming after initial confusion. Standard Indian food but great naan and roti. Awesome for quick takeout or a fast dinner.

    Cheap menu for just $11.99 a dish. Great fast service…read more Stopped by for some takeout for the hotel and other places in area were borderline rude since they just ignored me when trying to order (left the dosa place and the Mango place). The food was good for the price and hit the spot. We ordered 2 meals, Naan and some chicken BBQ skewers. It was more than enough for 2 adults. I was able to take some leftovers home for my son and there was a good sized portion left for him. I liked the Mango Lassi too. Everything was affordable with Naan at just $1.50 each. The Skewers are what they are known for and I saw how they roast it in the clay oven They were Smoky and delicious! With lots of choices in a small area of castleridge in northeast Calgary. This will be my go to for takeout!

    Sad to say that we had the worst possible experience here. First of all, we called in advance to…read moremake a reservation, the woman on the phone said there is no need and asked us to just come in. I asked to have my name written down just in case but she said there is no need. When we arrived, we were told there is no table available and we had to wait for 25 minutes just to get a table. After we ordered our food, it took 35 minutes to arrive. We ordered Lamb Karahi and shank Pulao. The Lamb Karahi tasted terrible. The gravy was too thick for a dish of this type. The meat was not heated properly. The shank pulao seemed like just re-heated food. The kheer at the end was just alot of condensed milk and way too sweet. Overall we had a terrible experience. Would not recommend this place to anyone

    Hands down the best beef seekh kabob and service outside of Lahore and London! Please don't let…read morehigher star ratings of other restaurants sway your decision; try Faisal and you won't regret the decision. We visited the restaurant a few nights ago for a dinner. We ordered the seekh kabob, Karahi Chicken with tandoori roti and naan, raita, and Chicken biryani. And wow, everything was delicious, just out of the world type of delicious!! After the dinner, we requested chai and kheer, and no surprise again, full of taste, every bite and sip reminded us of home (Pakistan), what impressed me most was that thr chai was served properly hot where its fully enjoyable! Loved everything, great experience! Also, there was just one person serving that night. All the tables were taken downstairs and a few upstairs as well. She was so organized and efficient, and she really made our visit just that much special! We really hope the restaurant fully recognizes and appreciates her excellent service. Enjoy Faisal Kabob Hut!

    We came for lunch with our family, including three young children. Before ordering, I specifically…read moretold the server that the food for the children must not be spicy. The staff could also clearly see that we had small children with us. We ordered three platters. Two of the platters were combined together, and the quantity did not appear equivalent to two full separate platters. More importantly, all of the chicken came spicy despite my clear request. As a result, the children could not eat their meal. My seven-year-old was extremely hungry and tried eating some chicken while repeatedly drinking water because of how spicy it was. The younger children could essentially only eat some rice, which was also very dry. We then ordered an additional plate and gave the restaurant another opportunity, but that chicken was also spicy, so we returned it. What made the experience much worse was the response when I complained. Instead of apologizing or trying to resolve the problem, the staff became argumentative and defensive. I was told, "This is Pakistani cuisine; our food is spicy." I was then told that I could have ordered fries. When I explained that their own server had told us fries were unavailable, I was actually told that I should have taken my children to McDonald's. That response to a customer who had specifically requested non-spicy food for small children was completely inappropriate. I asked to speak with the owner or person responsible and was refused. They removed only the additional returned plate but still insisted that I pay for the children's platter even though it had not been prepared according to the request they accepted and the children could not eat it. We came to a restaurant expecting to feed our family. Instead, I left having to find somewhere else to feed my children, while still being required to pay for the meal. Mistakes can happen in any restaurant. What determines the quality of a business is how it handles the mistake. Unfortunately, instead of an apology and reasonable solution, we received arguing, blame and disrespect. There will not be a next visit.
