What Lesley W likes about Narayanni's Restaurant:
Great restaurant in a historic building just off Whyte Avenue. This family run gem offers a large buffet made with fresh and beautiful ingredients. There is something for everyone and the deserts are even home made in house. The ambience is warm and inviting as well. Our new Edmonton fave! View all feedback. What oldwheat doesn't like about Narayanni's Restaurant:
I eat here each time I visit Edmonton. I remember the food being more tasty, hot and a better desert choice. I went in at 6 pm, restaurant opened at 5:30. Many of the dishes were lukewarm not hot and the chicken was drying out. Western style deserts and a bland vegan rice pudding for desert. The woman serving beverages has a delightful laugh and gives a nice energy to the place. View all feedback.
