naina's kitchen

over rated ??. my first experience was disappointing, primarily due to the bun which was too large for the patty and definitely on the dry sidei( i ordered thenaina'sburger}.i will givenaina'sone more try based solely on their rep, hopefully one of their stuffed burgers will match the hype.

50th anniversary!!!. we celebrated our 50th anniversary atnaina'smy son and his kids gave us the option to go to teatro and have a stuffy meal, or go tonaina'sand have a stuffed burger. we made the right choice. the perogy soup was awesome too :-)

we came tonaina'swith very high expectations...how could you not with multiple best burger awards promoted everywhere.   and, while not blown away by the experience, we did not leave disappointed.   the service was very good.  the ambience was clean and fresh.   the nainalicious (pulled pork stuffed) burger was probably not the best choice in hindsight.  it was ok, but a touch dry.   the fries were great and so was the greek coleslaw.   i'd go back, but i would make my own burger next time.

i'd been looking forward to tryingnaina'snew location for a while. when we first walked in and seated ourselves, there were no staff at all for quite some time. however, when our server finally did arrive, she was very friendly and our orders arrived quickly. i decided to try the veggie stuffed burger ($13.50) and my friends ordered a burger stuffed with ham ($14.50) and one stuffed with cheddar and mushrooms ($15.50). the portions are extremely generous: the already massive burgers arrive with a mountain of fries. the fries here are pretty outstanding: fairly thickly cut with a perfectly crisp exterior and great flavour. my burger was pretty good: it had a nice flavour overall but the texture was a lot mushier compared to other bean burgers i've had. the caramelized onions that came with it were a really nice touch. the bun held up well to the large amount of toppings, but was verging on being a little dry. my friends both enjoyed their burgers; one didn't like how the beef patty was seasoned, the other liked it. if you haven't yet had a chance to try a stuffednaina'sburger, you definitely should!

wonderful menu. poor value.

let's get real. everyone loves a good burger or grilled cheese.naina'sprovides that. however, the prices have jumped the shark. most grilled cheeses are over $12. stuffed burgers over $15. this place does have good food, but they are
punching above their weight.

if you want a tasty burger at about a 40% premium this is the place for you.

i am very disappointed with this place. i have heard nothing but great things about it and read mostly good reviews, however, i didn't get to experience it. google had advised that it was open 11-11 and directed me to 17 av se, but i knew it was on ogden rd and the website did not state any differently. so i headed to the ogden rd location with a friend only to find out it is closed on mondays. i emailednaina'sthis morning to advise that google had a different address and hours of operation than on the site and she had assured me this new address was correct and the site would be updated later that day. i headed there this afternoon only to find out that she failed to mention that this location is not open yet and the ogden rd location does not have any signage that they have moved, they will be closed or that they will remain open until the 17 av se location is ready. i had a coupon that i was eager to use, but with all this hassle, it will be going to waste.

first visit tonaina'slast friday with my mac & cheese loving son. the seating area was full with clientele when we arrived at 12:30 pm, but seating became available as we ordered at the counter, paid for the food and waited. 
i tried the jalepeno swiss burger with a side of soup $11 and my son ordered the mac & cheese stuffed burger with fries ($16). yes, prices have changed from the menu posted on this website. the daily soup was a hearty cream of potato. smooth and delicious. the burger patty tasted freshly made and the swiss and jalapeno added a great kick. son's stuffed burger was a mess to eat, probably better off with a spoon. with each bite, stuffing fell onto the plate. fun to eat! the serving of fries was generous. food orders same about 15 minutes after the order. 
enjoyed the rustic casual experience and the delicious burgers. will come back when i am really hungry.

worth every penny and every calorie. healthy options are minimal at this greasy spoon hidden across the highway from the crossroads farmers market on ogden road. the staple of the restaurant is the stuffed burger hand made to your liking but you can also get a great breakfast or a delicious grilled cheese (even a triple decker). i've never leftnaina'shungry or disappointed, give it a try.

so-so. fries were not cooked properly.naina'sneeds to learn that fries should be double-cooked. it's pretty basic.

i don't know what all the fuss is about. average, nothing special. with a view of piles of automobile fluff sky-high in the nearby wrecking yard that catches on fire regularly.

bacon, mac and cheese stuffed hamburger. absolutely delicious

absolutely delicious!.naina'sis one of the best burger joints i have ever been to. the staff were friendly and professional, and our burgers were delicious! my friend and i both had the bacon mac n' cheese stuffed burger, and couldn't be happier. can't wait to go back and try something else!

bakwaas. firstly to the food network critic who gave this dump raving reviews, teri maa dee lun.

now on tonaina'sitself, tuhadee bhain daa fudda maaryaa.

disappointing. i've been tonaina'sbefore and found the stuffed burger to pretty good. however, that wasn't the case today. the patty was charred and pretty tiny. it looked like a bulk processed patty that had sat on the grill far too long. despite this, i'll go back and hope today's experience was an unfortunate one-time thing.

had a stuffed burger. it was one of the best i've had in a long time.naina'sburgers are a must on calgary's top-10 list.

stick to the burgers. went tonaina'ssat afternoon with 2 girlfriends. one has the stuffed burger which was absolutely amazing! my other friend and i decided on trying something different and get the mac and cheese. one with fresh tomatoes and buffalo chicken and the other with the chicken, caramelized onions and jalapenos. the extras were $2 - $3 each and very sparse so not worth the added cost. we both also found the mac dishes very 'soupy' and flavorless. we each stopped at about 4 bites as without the gooeyness and sharp cheese flavor it was not worth it to consume all those calories! i would highly recommend sticking to the burgers when eating here.

we took a group of 16 senior ladies with disabilities there this past friday,naina'swas amazing, so accommodating. there food was absolutly amazing. some had poutine, burgers, grilled cheese and mac and cheese and there was not one compliant. i hope that they are able to expand to create more room for tables as it was crazy busy during the lunch rush.

guilty pleasure. we lovenaina'skitchen. not a good place to eat if you're watching your calories but it's a good little treat every now and again. we've tried various poutines and stuffed burgers. the elvis burger (stuffed with peanut butter, banana and bacon) has been a favourite unique burger so far. poutine stuffed burger is also tasty. the macaroni is nice and creamy. grilled cheese sandwiches are ok...just a typical grilled cheese with various toppings. they used to have the best cookies but i understand they discontinued them (boooo). best to go with a small group of people and try a variety of dishes. big portions and good quality for your dollar. highly recommend it.
