Guru Kitchen & Bar - Downtown offers "flavorful, delicious dishes" with a great mix of Indian fusion cuisine. Guests appreciate the "engaging staff" and "wonderful service." It's a lively spot, especially before events, with a convenient location near Rogers Place. While food is consistently praised, service can vary, especially on busy event nights.

It was moderately busy there as it was game night for the Oilers. We had a reservation booked, but when we walked in no one greeted us/attempted to make contact. We finally had to wave someone over to acknowledge us. We waited another 10 minutes before we were sat at a table. I think they must have been very understaffed as it took 12 minutes to bring my bottle of beer and nearly 30 minutes for my friend’s cocktail. We ordered food as soon as we were seated (as we were going to the game), and it took about 45 minutes to arrive. We asked for our bill as soon as we got our food as we had noticed the table beside had been waiting forever to get theirs. The food was good, and the two waitresses were friendly, but on the whole this was definitely one of the more disappointing visits I have had at Guru.

The food was great as always, and our server was also good. But the restaurant was clearly understaffed that evening (it was a Saturday Oilers game night) and it took over an hour for our food to all arrive.

The food was excellent: the palak paneer was the best I’ve ever had. The trouble is that the service was so terrible it ruined the evening. We arrived at the host station on time for our reservation. No one was there. We waited and waited, close to 10 min. Finally we just went into the dining room and searched around and found the host ourselves. At point we pointed out to him that there was nobody at the host station, and we had waited a long time. His response was unbelievable: he simply said that they were full that day and so it didn’t matter if people came and left. I pointed out that we had reservations and were still left. Anyway we finally got seated. We had to wait another five minutes to get menus. Sensing that service was going to be poor, we made sure to order our entire meal with our drinks to speed things up. It still took 45 minutes to get one drink. Our food didn’t come for a full 90 minutes after ordering. The problem was we had tickets to a concert and had set aside a full two hours for the dinner, but that’s not quite enough when you’re just getting your food 90 minutes after you sit down and you didn’t get to sit down for 10 minutes after you got there. We expressed our concerns, but the staff were not uninterested. For the first time in 15 years I left no tip. It’s too bad because the food really was excellent. But you just can’t go there.

The food and service were excellent. The challenge is for Event Night (at Rogers Place) they do not validate parking and the cost to park for 1.5 hr was $23 (in the parkade that is directly beneath them). The restaurant was empty for the greater part of the night, probably because of the event. The upside is that the food and service, as usual, was above average.

Good everyday Indian food. Their mango chicken at lunch time is very tasty and you don’t feel bloated after. Staff were fantastic and service was on point.

We love Guru. This was our first time to the downtown location and it was excellent. Service was attentive, the manager stopped by to say hello, and the food was amazing, as always. Highly recommend and we will be back for sure.

Good place to hang out if you are looking for excellent Indian fusion food. Gurjeet and his team has nailed it in terms of offering excellent food and drinks variety. Location is awesome, attracts good crowd and very lively on weekends and evenings.

Guru was excellent. Choices recommended by our server were fantastic. We were there on Friday night 5 days after the playoffs were done and they were out of a lot of beer and had no lime wedges. They blamed it on the playoffs. We found other things on the menu so all good. Just odd. Overall it was great.
