"South Location"
Denny
January 2012 — "Sometimes I'm really in the mood for Indian, and on this particular night, I definitely was. I recently moved to a new neighbourhood so am not sure where the best Indian food is yet, but when a friend recommended Moti Mahal we figured we should check it out. The south location is situated in a strip mall, but when you walk in it has pretty good atmosphere. There are a lot of tables, all in an open room, but at least they have it decorated in Indian style. We started with some pakora, which was typical pakora and pretty good. We shared a lamb shish kabob type thing which was like a sausage on a stick. It was not bad. The eggplant bartha was good, and Shahi Jeera Chicken was also good. I am a big fan of naan bread and enjoyed that part the most. Overall the food was definitely average Indian, but I have had much better...the flavour was lacking compared to some other places I've been to in Calgary. I guess my hunt continues for delicious Indian food in my new neighbourhood! "

"Excellent every time"
Jason
October 2008 — "I usually wait until I've been to a restaurant more than once before I review it online. After my third visit to Moti Mahal, I must say that this is a excellent restaurant, with exceptional food and very good service. The food is the best Indian food I've eaten in the city, and the atmosphere is very nice and tastefully decorated. Very nice selection of wines, and drinks. I recommend going here on a date, or for a small dinner party. Excellent every time."

"Best Indian in town"
Nick
November 2007 — "This is without a doubt the best East Indian restaurant in Calgary. We have lived in this city for nearly 12 months and stumbled upon this gem approx six months ago. We have since dined here 6 or so times. Not once have we been let down. We have tried other East Indian restaurants around town and continue to migrate back wishing that we had never bothered.
Would definitely recommend to anyone who is a fan of REAL East Indian food. "

"Moti My Hal"Thomas
November 2007 — "This is a great little restaurant. I have to say it is not the best Indian food I have had in Calgary, I think I prefer the Tandoori Hut on 10th St. NW., but the ambiance and service here is excellent and far outweighs that of Tandoori Hut and most other restaurants I have been to.
It is comfortable, friendly and very popular. So popular that parking can be a life and death battle—no joke, it is dangerous there. Inside, the restaurant is dimly lit and draped in colourful tapestries and curtains.
The service was quick, efficient and friendly. We were there celebrating a friend's birthday and she was treated very well.
All in all, it was a night well spent and I would recommend it to anybody with a taste for Indian."

"Fantastic service, excellent food"
John
October 2007 — "The service was fantastic, considering how busy it was, there wasnt an open table in the place. Drinks arrived reasonably fast, with a decent selection of wines, martinis, and beers. The appetizers arrived fast and were to die for, I recommend the tandoori goat cheese. The main course took about 30 minutes, but when it arrived, every part about it was amazing. Try the special plate, a mixture of lamb, chicken, prawns, and the best part were the sauteed onions, all served on a cool hot plate. mmmm.
To sum it up, an excellent exprience all around, with the bill being in the $80-90 range with a nice bottle of wine."

"Best Butter Chicken Ever!"Sarah
March 2004 — "All I can say about this curry house is go there and eat butter chicken like you've never eaten before! It is by far the best in town. But be wary of ordering excruciatingly hot dishes from the menu though, the staff won't warn you and the menu doesn't either!"
