Fantastic restaurant. Easily our favorite Indian food in the city. Servers are super nice and know just about everything about what you are about to eat. I always ask them to choose my meal for me and I've never been disappointed. Be sure to make a reservation on Fridays and weekends though.

What a great place for quiet or business or celebration. I have visited many times for great lunch combos and peaceful environment. Unlike many restaurants these days (with loud music background & warehouse-like ceilings) , this restaurant is a "gem" for its simple atmosphere that sets all at ease - you can hear your companion when having conversation ..

Overall is good but food are not as spicy as what I expected. The waitress should have ask how spicy we want it to be. The papadum was not what I expected too. ItÒ€ℒs a little salty for the papadum.

Amazing food quality. Very authentic taste. Portion is good too for the price. One thing I would suggest is that maybe put a couple of napkins and plastic spoons, forks, etc. in the take out bag. Great service overall.

Great ambiance and very good servers. My only complaint is the portion sizes are small for the amount of money you pay.

Been here a few times, always have great food here. Went there tonight and it packed. Great to see! There slow days are usually Monday and Tuesday but it was a full house almost. I can't pick one item I like here, all of it is delicious. Must try for Indian food.

Modern Indian restaurant with a very nice decor. The food is flavorful with various spiciness levels. The restaurant has limited parking when it's busy.

Moti Mahal has been my regular restaurant for quality Indian food. I have been going to this place for around 7 years now and the quality and service hasn't changed in that time. It's a family run business by one of the kindest and most accommodating families that I have had the pleasure of meeting.

Moti Mahal has become a staple in my life. I got lucky ordering the Kashmiri prawn and Goa lamb with coconut pilau and garlic naan my first time there, as they have continued to be my absolute favorite east indian dishes ever (and Indian food has been a staple in my life forever)I've since brought family and friends to Moti, so have ventured outside of my favs and I will admit, I've never enjoyed them quite as much.But if you're looking for a beautifully balanced meal, try my favorite order! The subtly of the pepper and apples with the prawns along with the hit of ginger and garlic with the lamb are, in my mind, the perfect combo.

Tonight we ordered take out from this quaint Indian restaurant. We were presently surprised. The decor, the atmosphere and food were so authentic The flavours of all of the dishes were out of this world.The staff was so friendly and helpful in guiding us through the menu. All of there suggestions worked great for us.If you are interested in authentic tastes from India, I would highly recommend Moti Mahal!!

This is an Indian cuisine restaurant. The food is really good. The buffet is really worth having. The chicken was absolutely delicious as well as the the beef curry. My favorite Indian cuisine is tandoori chicken and they have it there it was really delicious and we go back for it again when I have a chance good to have a decent curry in Calgary. Coming from Durban in South Africa it is very difficult for me to find a decent curry, but this place did well .

Nice ambience and good variety. Service was excellent and the food was tasty -- the Biryani's were a bit spicy even the ones ordered as mild; spicy is for the daring

SO delicious + easy to make gluten free, for those of us that are celiac. It's a bit of a splurge for a family of 4, but well worth it!

We have dined at Moti Mahal a number of times over the years, which is our favourite Indian restaurant in Calgary. The dishes are tasty and delicious and always consistent flavour & texture. Our favourite dishes are Veggie Pakoras, Chicken Tikka, Butter Chicken, Vegetable Poryal, Basmati Rice and Naan bread. The wait staff are friendly and attentive.

I tried food in different Indian restaurants in Calgary. But this is the first Indian restaurant where I loved the food. Super friendly staff. Cleanliness is amazing. Less oil and less spicy. Clean meat and quality food.

Went here for the first time with a friend as she kept raving about it. We went for lunch and the price and quality of the food was amazing. I also liked the layout of the restaurant it had a very light and relaxing feel to it. Looks like it would be a good place for a group too! Highly recommend for a lunch spot!

Favorite Indian restaurant in YYC. The owner is super nice, his kids work there and the business has been in the family since 1982. We ate there again on Valentine's day and our 2 small kids had a blast on the swing greeting guests. The copper dishes are a hit and the food is remarkable. They really put a lot of effort into their ingredients and methods and it shows! Best eggplant of any Indian restaurant.

Always excellent food. However service was tardy last night. Took forever to get drinks and food. Been dining there for years and always had excellent service. Hope this is not the start of a trend.
