Blue Nile


Tasty Ethiopian cuisine
309 10 Street Northwest
Calgary, AB T2N 1W7
Canada
+1 403 270 4550
One of two Ethiopian restaurants in Calgary, the Blue Nile serves up traditional Ethiopian dishes, such as chicken doro w'et and lamb gored gored, for the adventurous diner. The chefs employ such exotic spices as false cardamom and bishop's weed in their tasty and generous stews, and each meal is accompanied by a large woven basket of soft ingerra bread. The decor is simple: photos and Ethiopian fabrics, and the bar fridge is tiny, but the attraction here is definitely the delicious cuisine.

Joy's Caribbean Foods


Great Jamaican fare
630 1 Ave NE
Suite 5
Calgary, AB T2E 0B6
Canada
+1 403 234 9940
In the freezer of this Bridgeland shop, you will find curried goat meat, oxtail, fish and jerk chicken. The shelves are stocked with African pepper sauces, palm oil, baking supplies, condiments, bags of rice and a large selection of canned and dried beans. A small selection of fresh produce includes hot peppers, plantain, cassava and huge coco yams. Joy also serves up tasty Caribbean dishes such as Jamaican patties, but the limited seating means you might have to take your lunch to go.

Luxor Emporium Cafe


Eat like an Egyptian
937 7 Avenue SW
Calgary, AB T2P 1A5
Canada
+1 403 282 0030
This restaurant specializes in tasty Egyptian cuisine and Middle Eastern groceries. The menu includes such traditional Egyptian fare as kusheri, kebabs, kofta, and shawarma, as well as decidedly non-Egyptian pizza. There is a children's menu and dinner combinations that match sandwiches, kebabs and kofta with tasty salads and bread. Their Arabic coffee is wonderful. The decor is simple; the walls are hung with replica Pharaonic art and papyrus. The grocery is stocked with cardamom coffee, lentils and spices as well as Egyptian pastries and deli meats.

Marathon Ethiopian Restaurant


Ethiopian spice
130 10th Street Northwest
Calgary, AB T2N 1V3
Canada
+1 403 283 6796
For jaded diners who cannot stand the thought of another steak sandwich, the Marathon, in trendy Kensington, offers spicy and exotic concoctions of Ethiopian cuisine. Served in the traditional Ethiopian manner, the food consists of dozens of exotic pastes served on flat round bread, which does double-duty as both a plate and utensil. The pastes are exciting concoctions of lamb, beef, chicken, lima beans and vegetable mixes. There are full vegetarian combinations available as well. Meals are generally communal affairs, with up to five people eating off of one large round-bread.

What's Up


Authentic Caribbean food and atmosphere
325 17 Avenue Southwest
Calgary, AB T2S 0A5
Canada
+1 403 209 0977
This oddly-named restaurant and bar features affordable Caribbean cuisine. The interior is reminiscent of an authentic African chop-bar with bright blue walls, slightly rickety furniture and a large loud television. The menu features appetizers such as salt fish cakes and salads and main course items include Calypso steak, curries of beef, chicken and goat, jerk chicken and something called "Legs from Heaven." Portions are generous and entrees include piles of rice or yams.
