Topic: FOOD suggestions near 32nd/Deerfoot?

[vice1986]

Since it's tax season I'm putting in more hours at work. Thursdays are 12 hour days for us and my boss is buying us dinner as part of the deal. I have no idea what is around here in terms of decent take-out food. So what's around? I'm on 32nd Ave just off of Deerfoot. I know theres a pub nearby and a pizza place (which I DON'T want....too much pizza the past couple weeks). Just curious as to what your suggestions would be!

I work really close to that. Head east on 32nd toward Barlow and there's plenty to be had.

Thai Boat: Delicious Thai food, some of the best i've had in Calgary

Those would be my top three choices....


if you're in the mood for vietnamese, try Basil on 32nd, a couple blocks east of Barlow.

Excellent. Thank you!

Nandos I heard is good, that's on my hitlist next time I go down to Calgary.

Someone else hearts it too:

Try The Onion,  when I was there a few years ago it was pretty darn tasty...humm just realized it was about 10 years ago.

humm from the outside that nandos place didn't look so good but after visiting that review I will have to go give it a try now.

+1 for Nando's. It is a nice place, and the food is quite tasty! Christy's Chicken is there too which is also pretty good.

Thai Boat is good... pretty much any of the above are good choices!



I also work just down the street... on 23rd st.

I know there's a plethora of awesome ethnic restaurants around there (my office is near SOC), unfortunately it's hard to tell at first glance what's good, and what might kill you.

I tried Nando's the other night and boy was it tasty.

+4 for Nando's. I hit it up everytime I'm on 32nd. Get the extra hot half chicken meal w/peri fries...mmmm fries.

What about all day breakfast??? Perkins..... I get the tremendous 12, its also great for a hang over, IMO

If you ever do feel like pizza again... You can not go wrong with CoCo brooks, its on the corner of 19th and 32nd, near popeys suplements. If you ask for what is on express you do not have to wait for like 15 mins while its made and prepped...

Well last week we had some food from Thai Boat. I have to say I wasn't that impressed. It wasn't bad or anything, just OK. Just now, I finished some food from Basil. WOW. I really enjoyed that much more than Thai Boat. I know of course that Vietnamese and Thai food are very different, but the food from Basil seemed to be much fresher in comparison.

Thai Boat seems to have off and on days, but in general I think it's really good. What did you order?

A good chain place on 32nd is Fatburger, but it's not NE exclusive (there's another one in Deerfoot Meadows). If you haven't tried it before, it's a good "gourmet" burger place.
