Real reviews from our valued guests
"This is an elevated version of what I would expect if I went to a home in India for an authentic meal! The butter chicken with spiced rice and garlic bread was incredibly good! Our food came out fast, the service was great and prices are very reasonable. We will definitely be back, thank you!"
"The best Indian food in Okotoks. Before discovering this place I was having to travel into Calgary to find a decent curry — no need now. Reasonably priced too. Highly recommend The Social Kabob to anyone craving authentic East Indian cuisine south of Calgary."
"The food is just the best. Service is great. If like me you love your Indian curry, then don't skip this place. Join their email list and you'll get 10% discount vouchers most weeks as well. Worth the drive from Calgary every single time."
