GURU Kitchen + Bar

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.

The location of the restaurant is great, in ice district. We entered the restaurant and were greeted warmly. As it was not crowded we got to choose our seat and even changed it after 10 mins as we found booth better. Staff is very friendly, they helped us choose the dish. We ordered Butter paneer and garlic naan, naan were delicious and very soft. But the butter paneer was not that great, although it can be subjective as I am not a big fan of butter sweetness. Quantity was good for 2. We ordered rocket singh, whisky based cocktail and a beer. Pricing for the cocktail and beer is good but I felt veg dishes were overpriced as compared to non-veg. I would love to visit again for their cocktails, presentation is just marvellous. As can be seen in the video also. Would love to try their cauliflower 65 also.

Was here with my family while on vacation. Excellent food and amazing service. We tried guru chakana, grill chicken,Paneer masala, tandoori roti basket and steam rice. Every dish was 5/5 and sufficient quantity. Our server Tima was very helpful while making selection for our order, and checked very often if everything was ok. Absolutely recommended place for an authentic Indian fine dining experience. Attaching Dow pics for your reference.

We had our anniversary dinner here with the family. The ambiance of the place is superb, and the staff has managed to keep the place clean and tidy. The decor is modern with a touch of traditional India. We were immediately greeted by the host as we entered the establishment and were seated promptly. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and Paneer and Apricot Kofta with the assorted Naan basket. The portion sizes were enough for 4 adults, and the service time to serve the food was fast. Chicken Tikka Masala had a tandoori seared chicken breast in a viscous tomato gravy. The gravy had a touch of tartness because of the tomatoes, and it worked well with the tandoori flavor of the chicken. The kofta were crisp from the outside and creamy inside. The Apricot flavor was evident in the dish and, in my personal opinion, made it taste better than the Chicken Tikka Masala. The restaurant provides complimentary parking in the parkade in the Edmonton Tower.

The best Indian food I've tried in Edmonton! The flavour and spices balance out perfectly. Love the staff and atmosphere. Cozy dining during lunch,, gets very crowded during dinner. Highly recommend making a reservation. Everything I tried tasted amazing especially the Paneer and Apricot Kofta Food: 5/5

Beautiful, upscale space marries beautifully with the amazing food and excellent service. The Fish Moilee was perfect with the hot and crispy Naan. Thank you for the tea suggestion, a wonderful way to complete my meal. I will be back soon.Food: 5/5

I only had some simple paneer and rice. I could only imagine how the other menu items are. The Paneer and coconut rice was the best I’ve ever had in my life. Ambiance and cleanliness is superb. Service was great as well!! Was staying at the hotel accross the street and it’s my last night in Edmonton. Wish I came before. Will definitely be back on my next edmonton trip.

We've been to Guru at the Ice District a couple of times and have thoroughly enjoyed each dining experience. Guru is a modern take on Indian cuisine. I'd recommend the grilled chicken tikka, vegetable samosas, butter chicken, beef vindaloo, raita, and gulab jamun. Also, the naan is exceptional! Parking: Underground parking available - no need to pay. Let the front staff know you've parked underground and provide your plate # to register your vehicle.

This is such a perfect Indian restaurant. The food was stellarchicken masala, coconut rice, drinks were coolsmoked old fashioned. Great service, very nice.Food: 5/5

5 stars for hospitality...HOLLY was fabulous in her service...We were not too impressed with cocktails and we let sever know about it... She got the mixologist and made the drinks according to our taste.. This type of hospitality is RARE specially in Indian restaurants..Food was Great on Flavors and Perfectly presented.. We were hoping TO HAVE some high end mixology as we read great deal about it on their website..But cocktails that we ordered initially were less than a sport's bar standard and we gave that feedback to the server. Restaurant management took that feedback positively and did their best to make a cocktail to our taste.. Very pleased to see Indian Place to set high standards of Hospitality in Edmonton... Will definitely return and try rest of their food and drinks... Must visit place in Edmonton
