Their breakfast and brunch menu is an absolute standout. Comprising of meat, vegetarian and vegan options, all are fresh, richly flavourful and satisfying. I opted for the shakshuka with lamb sausage this visit-- it's everything I hoped for and more: a not so typical breakfast made of dreams that gives me the warm fuzzies inside. ❤️Their service is friendly and inviting. The space is clean, bright, warm, and cozy. A highly recommended place to brunch with friends. It is my new favourite, that's for sure!Vegetarian options: Many dishes can be made vegetarian or vegan.

Namo is my favourite brunch spot in all of Calgary and Edmonton. Their breakfast bowls are absolutely delicious. The tots are amazingly crispy and fluffy, the eggs are cooked to perfection, all the sauces mix excellently. Also have halal meat options. My favourites are the California dreaming and chicken karage breakfast bowls, both are amazing. I always make sure to stop by here every time I’m down in Calgary.Dietary restrictions: Halal Options
Cute atmosphere and good food. Not my favourite chicken and waffles in the city but I'd definitely go back to NaMo to try something else.

Stumbled upon this amazing lil spot and took our chances on a mid afternoon, no reservations or yelp waitlist walk in. It was so worth the few minutes wait that we had. Food was super fast & delish! We both had bowls and I was waffling between greens or tots and Rebecca suggested a little of each..BRILLIANT. Coffee was excellent (thank-you Fratello coffee YUM; best coffee we've had at a brunch spot) and again, Rebecca was outstanding! We're going to try the sweet menu next, watching the French toast waft on by to other tables was enticing enough to think about a second visit to be sure!

Was really excited to try this place from many recommendations. Sadly it was aggressively mediocre, food was alright at best.Lobster and shrimp Rangoon was not good at all, never would have thought. The cakes tasted store bought, with no flavour depth whatsoever. Also the avocado and salmon toast is served on a wooden serving dish with a serrated knife, I could see all of the previous knife marks from people scraping away at it. Not appetizing to think fibres of wood are being mixed into my food, as I cut at it. The toast which was on it was almost burnt and had been sitting so long I really had to carve at it, with a steak knife mind you, there was 4 coin size pieces of salmon on top, embarrassingly small amount.I was not quality checked at any point or ever asked how my food was. Even when paying.The only redeeming quality of this restaurant is the FOH staff, in every interaction we’re very nice, and when I brought the service issue to the attention of one member of staff, she promptly apologized.If it were one small thing I would maybe return, but it was just let down after let down. So I will not be returning and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

We enjoyed lunch here. Service was excellent as was the coffee. Interesting menu items including a really good avocado toast and fried chicken sammie. Paid Parking is a bit limited. I'd really like to try the duck monte cristo next time or the chicken and waffles.

The enjoyed the food but when it comes to service they could improve. I felt very rushed from the moment we were sitting. Drinks order within 1 minute of sitting. She tried taking my food before I finished eating. As she's pulling it up she asked are you finished with that. No ma'am I'm still eating it so put my plate down... Be warned it's a tight space so it's very crowded. I did enjoy my food tho
Standard brunch place. I enjoy that there are a lot of plant based options! Very busy on weekends and the servers do a really good job. Tiny table vibes, so it was hard to fit all our drinks + food (three of us on one of those tiny tables in the middle). I get we shouldn't be there long, since they want to seat as many people as possible on the weekends so it's understandable. No problems with service or food, just not the most comfortable.

Been here many times, it is always very fast and they have unique bowls that I haven’t had elsewhere. London was awesome and gave great recommendations for making the bowls vegan.
