Inspired by Indian culture and that lifestyle of just drinking, eating delicious food and enjoying life, Guru Kitchen + Bar offers residents and visitors to Edmonton’s Ice District an approachable and modern twist on traditional Indian cuisine. Possessing a chic, inviting and vibrant atmosphere and located steps from Rogers Place in the heart of the city’s burgeoning downtown business, dining and entertainment district, the restaurant opened its doors in February 2020.
Guru Kitchen + Bar Is Not Your Typical Indian Restaurant.
General manager Gurjeet Khaira and his culinary team offer an innovative menu that highlights an abundance of quality ingredients with traditional Indian flavours and a Chef’s Tasting Menu highlighting inspirations from the culinary team including selections from their take on Indian street food, tandoori oven classics and innovative dishes inspired by the vast regional cuisines of India, Asia and the globe.
Our wine program is a panacea for the homogenous with over 250 selections showing the diversity, versatility and balance of the range of wine varieties and styles that will and do compliment the cuisine. There is a strong focus on wines from small, independent producers from around the world who are passionate about their craft and whose wines reflect the place from which they originate, the nature of the vintage and the personality of the growers. An extensive sparkling and champagne selection encourages celebration, inviting each and every day to be a special occasion. And the wines are priced not to be museum pieces collecting dust in our temperature controlled cellars, but to welcome and encourage all guests, not just those-in-the-know, to explore, experience and enjoy the vast selection in a casual, friendly and unpretentious manner. The majority of wines on the list are under $60 and the vast majority under $100. But Guru Kitchen + Bar also has an extensive selection of limited release, hard-to-find bottles and large formats to satisfy the curiosity and pique the interest of even the most experienced wine drinker.
At Guru Kitchen + Bar, all senses are aroused with the rich and dazzling colours on each plate, fresh and exotic aromas, playful attitude, inspired cocktails, rotating craft beers, passionate wine program, and enlivened sounds. With a chill atmosphere and menu unlike anything else in Alberta, Guru Kitchen + Bar is for everyday, any day, any occasion and every occasion.
