Ordered one each of Tikki channa and Samosa channa. Great taste and sumptuous quantity. Good service, clean setup. Didn’t see South-Indian option in the menu. They also have a thali option and their takeout menu is cost-efficient as well. Good option on West-end of the city.

We really enjoyed our lunch here. They have a nice lunch special which gives you a main dish, rice and naan. We tried the butter chicken and the goat curry. The butter chicken was one of the best I've had. I asked for medium and it had a tiny bit of heat and the sauce wasn't too watery. The chicken tasted really good as well. The goat curry was also quite nice. We did spicy for this one and it definitely had a bit of a kick but if you enjoy spicy it definitely wasn't over the top hot. The quality of the meat was also really good. We did garlic naan which is a dollar more but totally worth it since you could actually taste the garlic unlike many other places. I wish the naan wasn't so crispy but that's my personal preference. Overall great meal and good service so would definitely go back when in the area.

Really delicious food, good portion sizes, lots of variety on the menu. The server handled a miscommunication during ordering with class and grace, making our experience additionally pleasant. We will be back!

For someone that doesn’t like loud spaces or a hectic setting when dining, Classic Indian is a lovely restaurant to go and dine. The space is clean, quiet, the staff are friendly. THE FOOD!!! The quality and portion sizing of food is wonderful. Everything is seasoned nicely. I like that the server doesn’t rush us or constantly asks how the food is while we’re eating. There’s an order of which food is served and they always ask for preference of which dishes you’d like to be served first appys, mains etc. Overall, I enjoyed my experience. Will be a returning customer unless the staff changes.

I felt like some Indian cuisine and found this place in a google map search. The reviews were high and they are 100% warranted!!! I was met with friendly hospitality and warm smiles. The menus at first were a bit cheap in appearance, but once I selected my dishes, I was not disappointed in the least! Fantastic spicy aromas and taste bud explosions! The menu was simple and has a good variety, but the quality of everything else surpasses its simplicity in every way! Classic Indian Restaurant & Bar is now one of my top three favorites in western Canada for Indian Cuisine!

This place has been my regular go-to place. The hospitality of the place is par excellence. The quality of food satisfies the core. Finding the typical taste is difficult but this place lives up to the expectations. I would personally recommend 3 dishes to try. 1. Chole Bhature 2. Veg Hakka Noodles 3. Aloo/Paneer Paratha. Try high indian spice if you are good with spice tolerance.
