So any good curry houses?

Going ahead of the Mrs next week so will have a week or 2 of looking for a place to rent and will have to feed myself. Fancy a curry but is there a decent one?

Get this and save yourself huge disappointment and money.

OH and I really like the Asian Village, there are I think five in Edmonton, you can either do buffet style or order off the main menu. We do the buffet style. The goat curry is delish!

I've never been but that's where I'd try first - urbanspoon.com lists 50 Indian restaurants for Edmonton and New Asian Village locations rank in 3 of the top 10 reviews. Odds are good....

Zaika, absolutely love it! http://www.zaikabistro.com/

New Asian Village is good, and there are a few around the city.
Have also heard good things about Zaika.
There are also a few really good cheap places in/around the millwoods area that cater to the local indian population.

Indian food is relatively new to Canada though, and Canadians are still rather suspicious about it.
Expect to see a very limited menu- eg/ butter chicken, butter chicken and butter chicekn.

Ahem, in my experience, that was vaguely true in the early eighties. At least it was in Toronto. Things have moved on a bit since then. At least they have in Toronto.

No they are all shite..IMO..learn to cook your own

Yeah fair enough. I'm speaking about Edmonton specifically.

We sometimes go to origin india on whyte which is handy for being close to the pubs in that area. If you want your curry to be at all spicy you need to tell them though as medium seems to come pretty mild

Khazana (downtown) is my favourite. Best vindaloo in Edmonton!!!

Heres a tip for you all....

Google 'bookatable' and sign up for their newsletter and about a week or so later they mail you a $25 gift voucher that can be used in a few restaraunts in edmonton... one of them is the new-ish indian place on the west end called 'Guru'.

I've been a couple of times and its pretty good... especially with $25 off the bill!!!
