The food at Guru Kitchen & Bar was good and well-prepared, with nice flavors and presentation. The service was okay—nothing particularly memorable, but acceptable overall. However, the prices felt on the higher side for the overall experience, especially considering the level of service. It’s a decent place for the food, but the value for money could be better.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are genuinely friendly. The food is excellent, with generous portions. I ordered the butter chicken with garlic naan, and it was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be visiting again.

An exceptional fine Indian dining experience that impresses with its curated, compact menu—limited in choices but rich in flavour and sophistication. Each dish feels hand-selected, showcasing the chef’s expertise and a clear focus on quality over quantity.
The drinks menu is extensive, offering everything from classic cocktails to premium wines and spirits. Their in-house wine rack adds a touch of elegance, and the Sandro De Bruno Pinot Grigio we enjoyed was a perfect, crisp pairing.
A unique highlight: the chef’s tableside finishing touch, adding both finesse and theatre to the meal.
The ambience and music are simply outstanding—undoubtedly a 10/10 for atmosphere.
Our selection:
• Peri Peri Chicken Tikka – Dragon Fire: perfectly charred, bold, and tender.
• Baked Baingan Bharta in a Sesame Tart: inventive and memorable—a first for me.
• Fresh Clay Oven Naan: warm, soft, and flawless. Add cheese chilli from option.
Every dish was a 10/10—flavourful, well-balanced, and spiced just right for any palate. A truly elevated and memorable dining experience.

At the end of my first trip to Edmonton, visited here and had a decent meal 🙂 I didn’t realize the restaurant closed at 10, but they kindly accepted us and never made us a feel rush!

Amazing food! Awesome presentation! Although they have limited varieties of vegeterian dishes, the collection is enough. All the dishes were finger- licking good. They also have a good range of non alcoholic drinks, cocktails. All were fantastic. Overall, it was mind blowing experience! I strongly recommend this place for family dine out, small company parties or small get together! Non vegeterian items were equally delicious (as per my canadian friends).

Great service! The food and atmosphere were ok; we eat indian food a couple of times a month so I can compare it to other places really well. Our drinking glasses were dirty…and the food was average, definetly not bad.

Update: Came here for my birthday and got to try more of the menu. I still cannot get over how incredible the food, drinks and service is. We were a group of 6 and they looked after us so well. Have some new favorites on the menu and will recommend this place to everyone I know. The mango chicken is my absolute favorite. The samosas have such incredible flavors. I just recommend coming back a few times and trying more and more of the menu. This restaurant is an experience, not just dinner, and that’s how I describe it to friends and family.
Old review: My best friend and I had the absolute best experience here. Guru is locally owned and the food is so phenomenal that we are still raving about it. Our server Kelly was incredible and super knowledgeable. She’s so friendly and made the dining experience much more memorable. The manager Gurjeet came to check on us and say hi. The cocktails he made were beyond words. I wish I could give more than 5 stars because this restaurant deserves it.

From the outside, the restaurant looks small. But inside, you are welcomed by nice staff, the bar, and a warm atmosphere. The lady serving us was nice, and she had a few recommendations. The menu itself was easy to read. I like that it had different dishes than typical Indian restaurants. We had the mango chicken, beetroot kebab, and one more dish that I can’t remember right now. I was surprised how good the beet root kebab was. I’m definitely coming back here. There’s tons of parking across the street.

Food was delicious and the “date night” deal was an incredibly good value. Prompt service and a nice atmosphere too.
