Fields that looked like home
Harjit and Simran Grewal grew up outside Ludhiana, where the winter fields turn yellow with sarson, mustard in flower. Their first spring in Alberta, they drove south past Leduc and saw canola running to the horizon. It looked like home.
In 2009 they opened Sarson Kitchen in Mill Woods with Simran’s mother’s recipes and a clay tandoor that Harjit still lights every morning. The dal goes on the night before. The saag takes all afternoon.
“If the saag isn’t right, it doesn’t leave the kitchen.”

The family
Simran still grinds her turmeric and chilies on the stone slab her mother gave her. Their daughter Navreet runs the dining room now, Harjit’s brother Kuldeep runs the tandoor, and on Sundays the room fills with three generations at a table, theirs included.
We cook big, generous food because that’s how we were fed. If it’s your first time, tell us. We’ll bring you something to try.
What our guests say
“The butter chicken is worth the drive from St. Albert, and the makki di roti tastes exactly like my nani’s.”
Gurpreet S.Google review
“Sarson catered our sangeet for 240 people. Every tray came back empty, and Harjit still found time to dance.”
Amandeep and RyanWedding catering, 2025
“A simple room with big, generous food. Ask for the saag with extra white butter and don’t skip the chai.”
