From it’s name, you might not guess that Bikaner Sweets House & Restaurant has a delicious savoury buffet at an amazing price. I visited its new location at 4310 104 Ave NE to try it out!
They had about 9 different self-serve items, my favourites being the fried fish (tender inside, with crunchy spicy flavour) and goat curry. There are also two chicken curries and for vegetarian options – dal makhani (lentil dish), paneer curry, potato fritters, and a mixed vegetable dish with potato & cauliflower. All the dishes taste great, and they also serve some fresh cucumber/carrots which serve as a good palate cleanser.
Naan is included (butter or garlic) and made to order; it’s ridiculously delicious and goes so well with the food. I have a “moderate” spice tolerance (leaning towards low) and the spice level felt alright for me.
When I unfortunately could not eat any more (except room for dessert), I had the sweet dish they offer: a classic dessert called jalebi which is a fried dough spiral soaked in sugar syrup. It was warm, sweet, and crispy with a slightly chewy texture.
Overall, this was a super miam miam experience and I would highly recommend trying it out. It was definitely worth the price, and I’ll be going back soon!
