Ensira Ethiopian Restaurant is a welcomed addition to Calgary’s few Ethiopian eateries! My first taste of Ethiopia was a success at Ensira! Calgary has so many hidden gem eateries, and they are hidden in places a lot of people don’t know about. Some of the best and most authentic ethnic restaurants in Calgary are along […]

A Costly Moroccan Dinner at The Casbah Restaurant
The Casbah Restaurant is apparently one of the best Moroccan restaurants in Calgary, but be prepared to pay up for that food. For those who don’t know, a casbah is sort-of a hightower or medina/fortress that identifies a city from atop the hill. When battle ensues, the leader of the town usually hides in the […]

Diner Food at Smashburger McKenzie Towne
Smashburger McKenzie Towne offers good, old-school diner food burgers despite it being a fast food joint. My friend wanted to eat for dinner at a vegan-friendly restaurant near McKenzie Towne/New Brighton, and Smashburger was right there! When you go in, you order & pay at the front counter before you get your food. But it […]
Awesome Tropical Drinks at Mango Mania
Mango Mania is my new favourite go-to bubble tea/dessert drink cafe in Calgary! The dessert shop opened in Calgary during summer 2016, so it is still relatively new to the Calgary food scene. However, it’s since quickly become a gem in the dessert drink shop game. My sister and cousin brought me here for the […]
