Indian Curry House

About Indian Curry House

Skip the Rocky Mountain lodge food and get proper Indian cooking instead. This is the only dedicated curry restaurant on Banff Avenue, and it takes its job seriously with a kitchen that knows how to build heat and balance spices. You'll find yourself eating here multiple times if you stay longer than three days, which tells you everything.

Order the lamb vindaloo if you want heat that lingers, or the butter chicken if you're recovering from a long hike and need comfort. The naan comes straight from a clay oven and works equally well for mopping sauce or wrapping meat. Lunch buffets offer the best value if you're unsure what to order, and the staff will guide you through the menu without judgment about spice tolerance.

Book ahead in summer or you'll wait an hour. Winter evenings are quieter if you prefer actual conversation. The dining room feels functional rather than fancy, which is honest and keeps prices reasonable. This place suits you if you're tired of hotel restaurants and want to eat like you're somewhere other than a national park.
