Indian Authentic Cuisine — best Indian restaurant in Canmore, AB on Bow Valley Trail

Indian Authentic Cuisine is one of Canmore's most loved dining destinations and a TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice award winner. Owned and operated by Raj — a passionate restaurateur guided by the Sanskrit principle Atithi Devo Bhava ("the guest is equivalent to God") — our restaurant brings genuine, from-scratch Indian cooking to the Rocky Mountains. There are no shortcuts here: only slow-cooked gravies, freshly ground spices, hand-prepared sauces and breads fired in our tandoor.

Our location on Bow Valley Trail puts us minutes from downtown Canmore, the Three Sisters trailheads, Grassi Lakes, and the Trans-Canada Highway — making us the ideal post-hike, post-ski or pre-Banff dinner stop. Inside, our tastefully decorated dining room — complete with rich window draping and a signature umbrella-adorned ceiling — creates a warm mountain atmosphere unlike anywhere else in town. Don't miss our daily Happy Hour: 20% off all menu items from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

"We stumbled upon this restaurant while charging our car. What started out as a casual visit ended up with an amazing culinary experience. The staff are super friendly, the food was great. Special shoutout to Raj who walked the talk — 'Atithi Devo Bhava'. Highly recommend!"

— Vignesh Iyer, Seattle (August 2024)

"Once again Raj provided an excellent meal in his tastefully decorated restaurant. The Saag and Roganjosh included generous and tender lamb spiced to our requested levels. Mango Chicken was delightful and the Dal Makhani and Palak Paneer were fully flavoured. Kudos to the chef and owner!"

— bonnecavessman, Canmore (January 2023)

"I am so happy my friends recommended this restaurant. I dug into the Lamb Roganjosh — delicious and tender — and you can see the full pieces of spices that went into the slow-cooking process. They use the genuine traditional cooking style, not ready-made spice mixes. A nourishing, balanced meal!"

— francine, Canmore (December 2020)
