Whenever I order take out it's from Vaades. Ordering on the website is so easy and convenient, and the delivery is always prompt. The delivery drivers are really friendly and are bringing the best indian food on the north shore!
Really, really, really ridiculously good indian food, and you get a large amount of food for the price! This place is a MUST TRY! -

We have gone here several times. We let them set the menu for four and they didn't disappoint. Very good and well priced. They could use some soft décor, as it would help with sound that bounces off the walls.

Quite decent. Nice favours in virtually all the sauces. Avoid the paneer though -- it's undercooked and underwhelming.

Wow am i am happy to have found this place. I was looking for good Indian food in the lower lonsdale area, and i defnitely found it. I saw there lunch specials, plus a coupon for a free drink when you buy a lunch special, and also the good reviews on here so i decided to give them a try. I ordered the Shahi Paneer with comes with rice, naan, side salad and delicous dressing, PLUS another vegetable of the day serving, which tasted like Chana Masala today. I got my free drink of Chai (with the coupon), and this all came to $8.50
Located in a tiny strip mall it's a jem in the rough. Inside it's open, simple but perfect and slighty romantic.
The Shahi Paneer was rich, and perfectly sized, i couldn't get enough of that flavor. Service was nice, with the owner and his partner in the kitchen. Definitely worth checking out. -

Besides saying "I do," eating at Vedas was my favourite part of my wedding night. I didn't know a thing about restaurants in North Van, so a friend of mine got suggestions from a friend of hers, and Vedas was on the list. I looked at their website and menu and was impressed. It was also close to the hotel where we were staying, so that was a bonus. We decided that was where we'd nosh after nuptials.
Because we had 11 people (7 adults and four kids), we were able to order a vast array of selections: chicken samosas, chicken lollipops, fish finger fries, crispy prawns, butter chicken, dum murgh, lamb do pyaza, daab chingri, khas e fish, baingan bharta, palak paneer, chana methi, with roti, naan, papadums, and biryani rice. ALL of it was delicious! While some of the selections were familiar (like the butter chicken and palak paneer), most of it was new to all of us.
The kids, who are less interested in complex flavours, loved the stuff from the "snacks" menu, especially the samosas with their light crunchy skins, the crispy prawns, and the fish fingers. The adults loved the khas e fish, which is slow-cooked halibut. It was very tender and juicy. My faves were the dum murgh (chicken in almond and ghee sauce) and daab chingri (coconut prawns). So creamy and heavenly.
It was the perfect spread of Indian food. The flavours were all well balanced. The breads were light, slightly crispy, and chewy, which is how I love it. I'd venture to say it was better than Vij's, which I was less impressed with the past couple of times I went there. -

Wow what a great find!
Helpful, friendly wait staff. Excellent food: try the Khas-e fish (halibut). Also a great chicken dish whose name I can't remember. The vegetable biryani was nice but not the best I've ever had; my wife liked it a bunch though.
We walked in on a Saturday w/o a reservation - no problem! Staff cheerfully made room for us.
Delicious food, warm atmosphere, fantastic smells, nice people - what more could you ask for? -

Went here for lunch and came away very happy. Their lunch menu is a few select items with side rice, nann, salad, and veggie of the day. Today was a black dal dish.
All the food tasted very very good. We had a butter chicken and paneer dish (I can't remember the name of the dish). Both tasted very good, but I have to say the paneer dish had a deeper flavor to it that made me crave another bite. The butter chicken was a very bright flavor of a dish.
The service was very good, attentive and nice.
The only draw back I had was that it felt like there wasn't enough meat in the dish, even as a single serve item.
I want to go back for dinner and see how it goes, and taste more with a bigger menu. -

I went to this place earlier in the week after having a friend recommend it.
She raved about the lunch special, said you get massive amounts of food for under $10.
I went today to check it out and I'm so happy I did. The capacity is small, and the restaurant was full, even though it was about 3:30. Half of the place was filled with a party of 20, and the other half was parties of two coming in and out.
The decor is beautiful, I'm sure at night with the lights are lowered and the candles are lit it would be even better. I loved the choice of music, I'm used to the high-pitched, falsetto classic hindi pop songs which really get in the way of conversation, but Vedas was playing soft, ambient tabla music that really complemented the environment and allowed for easy listening or conversation.
We were greeted by who I found out later was the co-owner of the place, we ordered our food from the VERY reasonably priced lunch menu, if I recall correctly there were about 15 or so items to choose from, ranging in price from $8.50-12.00 (don't quote me on that).
While the food did take a while to come, it was understandable considering there was only 1 cook in the back, and one server for that aforementioned party of 20 to keep up with. Good thing my friend and I weren't in a hurry. I stopped and chatted with the co-owner (Kapil?) and he seemed like a really nice guy and his love for the restaurant industry was evident. A lot of Indian places in South Vancouver hardly look you in the eye as they take payment, but this Kapil was genuine and engaged in warm, friendly conversation.
I ordered a sort of lamb curry donair, the lamb was tender and meaty, there wasn't fatty chunks of cheap meat that I find at some restaurants. The lunch special also included rice, a vegetable of the day (which was cauliflower and potatoes in a butter sauce), and a simple salad with ranch (?) dressing.
My friend had the Shahi Paneer and the sauce was thick, tomato-y and had a perfect creamy consistency, just like it should be. The naan was thick and buttery, a rarity, I find .A lot of indian restaurants have watered down their sauces to an unacceptable level, I'm happy to see this place didn't lower themselves to that poor standard just to save a few pennies.
Definitely happy to have a quality, inexpensive Indian restaurant on the North Shore to take my friends to. -

I came to this place a few weeks back expecting awesome indian food based on all the ratings. I was EXTREMELY disappointed with my meal. I got an order of samosa, they were really bland and I had to cover them in mint chutney and hot sauce. I also ordered the standard for most-butter chicken(usually the safest bet at any Indian place). They should change the name of it on the menu to spicy tomato soup with tiny bits of chicken at the bottom. I paid $15 and some change. I was pretty infuriated. I could have enjoyed a better meal for around the same price at Honjin a block away.
