Puspa Indian Cuisine - Calgary

I ordered takeout from here the other night. It was the best thing I've eaten in a very long time. Curry made with almonds and raisins, not too spicy for that one. I just moved into the neighborhood, so I am very very pleased to have found you so quickly. Can't wait to try everything!!

I believe I found one of the true hidden gems of Calgary. Puspa is a very small family run restaurant hidden in a street mall. We went there for lunch in a group of 4. The lunch menu is small but super cheap. You have 4 options of curry (10$ each which also includes salad, Chai, soup and desert. Great deal. You also have the option of choosing food from the full menu which we did. We ordered the chicken curry (8$ and lamb biryani (13$ . I asked for the spicy version. Also to cool it down, we asked for yogurt (Highly recommended . Both dishes were excellent. The portion size is huge. The biryani was easily good enough for two people. So make sure to go there on a big appetite. One quick note: the spicy is super spicy (Be careful . We finished the meal with rIndian rice pudding and chai which was fantastic. Very good service, excellent food and in my opinion authentic taste . Definitely not your standard butter chicken joint. I cannot wait to go back there to try other items on the menu.

Food taste is good though the portion sizes truly are tiny (see photos). Naan seems to be consistently burnt. The restaurant lost one star for food portion and one for the burnt naan.

Best butter chicken in town! Nan was also delicious. Puspa is our go-to Indian restaurant in Calgary.

Great food and friendly staff. Also a great place to order take out. Something fun to look for is the re-purposed neon sign in the window. If you look closely you can see that it used to say 'La Sizzlers '! I have to admire anyone that can look at a La Sizzlers sign and decide that, with a few tweaks, it could be reinvented to say Puspa instead.
