Raj Palace

I love this place! Great food!
The dosa it is amazing… definitely coming here again!

Really good food. Stopped here on the way to the airport for lunch and ordered the lunch special and tiffins. Portions are big and food is delicious. The place is clean and the service is really good. Reasonably priced as well. Would definitely stop here again if back in Calgary.

Overcooked, greasy and the staff look miserable.

2 stars because the food was good, what we got of it that is. Taste of India or anywhere else charges the same but better portions usually have left overs but not from this place. Wasn’t worth the money

Foods decent but the customer service is terrible. Called in and ordered takeout, came in a ½ hour later to find out that they lost my order. After re ordering and waiting for an hour in there restaurant, i asked a waiter how much longer till my food was ready, I was rudely shushed by the waiter. If i wasn’t so hungry and didn’t already waste an hour and a half at this place i would of left. Decent food, but the poor customer service is not worth it.

good food. good atmostphere. good service. i go there often

Best southindian food In town. But don’t get fooled into dosa stuff. Their biryani, lamb sukka and pepper chicken is to die for. The best dish is their pomfret tandoori. Only place in town u will get it. Would compete with any restaurant in india. Well done !

Wow! I thought I wouldn’t find better Indian food. Then we ordered delivery from this place. It’s soooo flavourful and yummy.

Overall good experience good ambiance, good south Indian food. Look forward going back to try out some of the other dishes.

Super delicious!!! Will definitely be back!
Ordered the veg pakoras, butter chicken, paneer butter masala, basmati rice, butter and garlic naan and masala dosa. All were amazing.
Cozy atmosphere and friendly owners. Great portion sizes and fair prices!
Came here on a whim and we’re so glad we tried it out!

Awesome menu!!! A lot of variety, reasonable prices, fresh spices and a lot of flavour!!!

My lovely lovely mum ordered food from here and got it delivered to our place as a surprise for our anniversary.
What made it even better was that the food was the BOMB!
I had never heard of this place before, and I was not expecting South Indian when the delivery came. I have had South Indian food several times in the past and I really like it — the flavours are distinctive and they dont shy away from spice. This place was AMAZING south indian!
We had the chicken chettinadu, buna gosht, and a whole fish pomphret. Everything was SPECTACULAR. I dont say this lightly. Each dish was superbly prepared and the flavours were authentic and just straight up awesome.
Only reason this gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because I havent been to the physical location itself. But no worries — I will be heading there ASAP!

Good food — was exactly what I was looking for!
We had the chicken vindaloo and Kadai Lamb.

I’ve only been here once so this 5 star review may be a bit premature, but I plan on visiting whenever I get a chance so I can always update Unilocal if required :)
This is South Indian style food, and that means they have dosas. You MUST try the dosas! We had two vegetarian versions — the spicy veggie dosa and the spinach dosa. Both were excellent — the crêpe was neither too crispy nor too soggy, & the basic potato filling was just right. When I have had dosas elsewhere, I usually leave some of the crêpe ends unfinished, as I don’t want to overstuff my stomach, but here I could not stop eating it — tried twice & finally had to toss my napkin on the plate & push it away, as the dosa was so yummy I lost my self-​control.
One downside — the place is very small, so you likely 1) need reservations, 2) need to go at 2 pm as we did, or 3) should just get take out. I am not sure how they package the dosas for takeout, though — they are pretty long & droop off the plate as it is.
Place is very small & unpretentiously furnished; our well-​scarred table was clean but would probably not impress some folks. Both washrooms are accessible which is a nice bonus for a small establishment.
Damn, I have made myself hungry thinking about that dosa…

Every time we come back into town on a flight, we try to hit up this location. It’s basically on the way for us.
It’s small, but relatively clean. The menu is great, the staff is pretty friendly.
The last couple of times it was packed.
I can really only recommend the vegetarian things on the menu, but they are all served pretty quickly, taste fresh and are hot and spicy.
Naan is fabulous, pakoras are great… this location is FAR better than the buffet on 6^th ave SW… Bartha is heavenly, paneer is great… nothing but good things to say. The price isn’t bad either.

Delicious. I tried this place five days ago and tonight is the third time eating it. The fire chicken or fire lamb is sooooo spicy. Literally spiciest food I’ve ever had and I have gotten it all three times because it’s great. The goat vindaloo is also amazing and I’ve ordered it twice.
Garlic nan bread is a must try, but the butter nan is good too.
The food is timed well as I’ve only done take out.

After experiencing the downtown location a few months back (it was terrible), I decided to go to the one near my house in the north. This time it was much better! It is a small place, but seems to be quite busy.
I got the Fire Chicken, which comes with a pretty good warning about how spicy it is going to be. For those of you hot food challenge people, mark this one on your map. It was great. Not many places make truly spicy food, so I am always glad to find one to match my extreme tastes.
They do have much milder fare such as the dosas which is a south Indian specialty. I got a side of coconut rice, which wasn’t as fragrant and flavorful as some places I eat, but still good.
I will definitely be coning back, maybe for some take out on a lazy day at home. I’ll be updating this review after I do so.

Raj Palace is a rarity in Calgary. It is South Indian and provides some distinct dining experiences. Try the dosa, it is a rice and lentil crêpe that comes with different choices of stuffings. Besides the two Raj Palace locations, I haven’t been able to find it elsewhere… yet.
It is a small venue, so make reservations or get takeout. On weekdays you may get lucky if you get there a tad early.

I was on a flight back to Calgary months ago when a very nice Indian woman seated next to me and I got to talking. We were discussing food, one of my fave subjects and I had asked her where she liked to eat in town. She mentioned the «Palace» in Country Hills so we assume she was talking about this one! Besides her own cooking she explained that this really was the real deal for curries and anything Indian for your taste buds. In we went on a Friday night and we got a table no problem at 6pm. There are no more than 8 tables here and it did get busier. The server mentioned that on a busy night with milder temperatures they get lined up out the door and I believe it.
The service, we would give it a 4. The woman was all by herself and hopping. I would have loved to have received more info on the dishes but no time for small talk or smiles! It was all business which is to be respected and our water glasses never did go empty.
The food was 5 star quality. We had a lamb curry — deep, rich and great depth of flavor with big chunks of meat. We also had a chicken curry which I asked for it to be extra, extra spicy. I even eyeballed the Fire Chicken on the menu which is said to be right under ghost pepper hotness and if you finish that dish, you get your mug up on the wall of photos of people that ate it all! I am glad I didn’t order that as my chicken had just the right amount of heat. Very good curry, large portions (we could have shared one — next time we will do that and try an appy) Basmati rice can be ordered as well which we did and of course we went for the garlic Naan bread, also fresh and piping hot. YUMMY!
The dishes are said to be cooked to order so they ask that you give them 30 minutes to make your meal.
What is better on a cold winter’s night than a hot bowl of fresh curry? Nothing!
We got a take out menu for next time and discounts apply for orders more then $ 40.
We were the only non-​Indian people in this restaurant and I think that speaks for itself — AUTHENTIC SOUTH INDIAN!

They have dosas here, nuff said. South Indian (or Sri Lankan) cuisine is pretty hard to come by in Calgary. So when you have a craving for a dosa you usually have to trek pretty far to find it.
I ordered a lamb dosa and aloo gobi. The dosa is big enough as a meal on its own, but it is hard to take out because it would just get destroyed as you’re carrying it. Without me asking, they spiced it up just enough as if they knew I could handle it. I feel like they consider me a brotha.
I use aloo gobi as a litmus test when I try a new Indian restaurant. It was really good. It wasn’t dry and lacking in sauce, and it was spicy enough but not too much to feel the ring of fire the next day at work.
The price is right too. $ 9 – 10 for a dosa makes for a great lunch if you’re ever in the area.
