from GoogleEid breakfast was crazy busy as expected — had a 40 mins wait to get a table after adding our name to the waitlist which wasn't an issue at all. The real problem was the complete lack of service we received after. We came with family and were seated right next to the counter/kitchen area which had staff constantly moving around us. After sitting for 45 mins, we didn't have a single person come to clean our dirty table and had to hunt someone down to finally do it. It took an hour and 40 mins to get our food on the table and that too, only after asking them five times for an update. No one seemed to know what was going on, there was poor communication between the staff and they blamed the severe delay on a "glitch" in the system. Meanwhile, we watched at least two large tables come in and go while we waited. Even if there had been a technical error, it doesn't excuse why no one cared to ask why we had been sitting empty handed for 75+ mins, especially after we followed up several times. Anyone we flagged down seemed disinterested in helping out until we got firm with them because it was just getting ridiculous at this point. It's a shame how things went down because the food itself was good; halwa puri, lassi, nihari, aloo paratha and desi omelette were quite tasty but the beef paya was pure oil and spice. People were packed like a can of sardines despite the spacious size of the restaurant and the women's bathroom was absolutely filthy with no paper towels. I understand Eid can be the busiest day of the year for such a business and I feel for the servers who had to deal with all this stress but this level of poor management needs to be addressed. Instead of having servers constantly swapping out roles, they should have an orderly system with dedicated tasks to prevent such chaos from happening again.
Anaya provided outstanding service. She accommodated changes to our order and ensured everything was exactly right. The service was fast and efficient. I highly recommend them not only for the excellent service but also for the great taste and pleasant ambiance.
We thoroughly enjoyed the food! We ordered breakfast, and everything was delivered right on time. The quality, taste, and presentation exceeded our expectations. The qeema was flavorful and perfectly seasoned, the nihari was rich and delicious, and the anda bhujia was cooked just right. The halwa was fresh and indulgent, and the pooris were soft, hot, and perfectly made. Every item was prepared with great care and tasted absolutely wonderful. Thank you for providing such a delicious breakfast experience. We will definitely be ordering again and would highly recommend it to others.
Absolutely incredible experience! The food here is amazing. Everything we ordered was bursting with flavor, but the butter chicken was an absolute standout. It was especially rich and flavorful. Beyond the fantastic meal, the restaurant itself is beautiful inside, creating a wonderful atmosphere. To top it all off, the owner personally introduced herself and was extremely hospitable, making us feel so welcome. I already cannot wait to go back! Highly recommend!
Amazing breakfast! The food was so flavorful and tasted just like authentic Pakistani desi food. It’s hard to find this kind of taste in Canada. I’ve visited three times during my vacations to Calgary, and it’s always been great. Ayesha was our server she was sooooo sweet, friendly, and provided excellent service. Highly recommend!
Ordered the Shinwari Karahi on Waleed bhai recommendation and honestly the Karahi was so awesome and it was fresh , it has been the best Karahi I have had in while. I will come again with my family to try rest of the menu IA.
Sara's Cuisine ! The go Place fr people like us comimg traveling to Banff-Edmonton. Early mornings in calgary, we hardly find anything. Anaya was superb host. Chai was great! The naan was supersoft and halwa was dipped in ghee . We tried the halwa puri combo , Goat koma, Paya was toooo good . Spices were better than many other restaurants.
I have had both breakfast and dinner on multiple occasions at Sara's cuisine and my experiece has been great. Their chana with puris were flavorful and some of their dishes like badami qorma and beef pilao are top notch. I would highly recommend this place for family gatherings and take-out!
Visited this Pakistani restaurant for breakfast and had a mixed experience. The halwa puri was average and didn’t stand out much, but the malai boti paratha was really good and had great taste. The tea was also very good and complemented the meal well. The service was friendly, and Aisha was very helpful and provided great service. Overall, a decent spot with some dishes worth trying.
Was craving to have a desi breakfast at 7am in the morning. The only place I saw was opened was this restaurant. This place is part of eggs and more. Without a second thought decided to give this place a try. Reached the place, it was almost empty. From welcoming to be seated to the table took less than two minutes. Menu was handed over right away. The server was polite and patient as we were deciding what to order. We were informed prior the food will take around 20-25 minutes to come on the table as they make it fresh. We ordered anda fry (sunny side up eggs) and lacha paratha (multi layer flatbread), beef nihari (curry), halwa puri platter and Pakistani chai. The food came one by one instead of all together as whatever was done it was served piping hot. The floor staff was making sure everything is good throughout the time. I enjoyed mostly anda with lacha paratha although I find paratha not thick enough to hold the layers. Still it was the star of my day. The beef nihari and halwa puri was okay to my palate. My family members liked it though so it depends on your palate too. The chai was what everyone was waiting for while the breakfast was coming to an end. My family loves chai! While asking their input I got mixed reviews about it. Overall it is a nice place to visit with friends and family. This place also offer American breakfast and other Pakistani breakfast options too. Alot to explore one visit is not enough. Everything served here is halal. #halal # pakistanirestaurant
About Sara’s Cuisine
On Falsbridge Drive NE in Falconridge, this Pakistani family breakfast restaurant uses halal meat throughout, and the malai boti paratha is the dish diners single out. Breakfast is the main event here, from halwa puri and nihari to a simple desi omelette.
What to order
The dishes to order are the halwa puri and the nihari, along with the lacha paratha and the malai boti paratha. Diners who ordered the qeema and the anda bhujia found them well seasoned, and the pooris came out soft and hot. The anda fry and the desi omelette are good simple choices. The chai gets good marks from diners, and one diner found the halwa fresh and indulgent.
Families and the weekend crowd
It is a family breakfast place, and weekend mornings are lively, so arrive early before the popular dishes sell out. Put your name on the waitlist as soon as you arrive. Diners say the service is fast and friendly, and staff are praised for accommodating changes to an order. The tea is very good, and the breakfast is well worth the trip.
