1. Indian Oven Restaurant
I had been to this place quite a few years ago, but I didn't bother writing a review because I didn't know how valid it would be still.
Today I learned that they are very consistent. The quality is still the same as it was in 2003 how I remember it!…More »
2. House of Dosas
Vancouver, BC V5V 3E3
(604) 875-1283
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
Recently something has changed in their quality. I came here with my coworkers and the food tasted really weird... kind of chemically. And then all of us that evening were sick to some extent as we discovered the next morning. It'll be a while until…More »

I can't believe I've never written a review on this place and I've been here so many times!
This is… Read more »
3. Desi Junction Bar & Restaurant
The quality here is great! And their menu has so much variety compared to other typical Indian restaurants. Especially in the appetizers section, making this a good place to drink and snack. Which is probably why it's a bar too... hmmm?
We had paneer…More »
4. Agra Tandoori Restaurant
The food is still fantastic after coming here for several years and going through several name changes. I came here for the non-veg lunch special which includes a tandoori chicken leg, veg curry special of the day (kidney beans... not my fave),…More »

Food is delicious and the atmosphere is nice. Their buffet is good, when they have it. But I think… Read more »
5. Saravanaa Bhavan Indian Restaurant
My prior review/star rating for this place must be amended. I have been back here several times, and their vegetarian lunch buffet is where it's at! It's so good and the price is so reasonable!
Sometimes it can get quite busy, which means a little…More »

6. Saffron Indian Cuisine
Burnaby, BC V5H 1Z8
(604) 436-5000
Really delicious Indian food!
We brought my sister's M-I-L here, who's from London (where they have really really good Indian food!) and she said it was quite tasty too! The quality is apparent and everything is flavourful. The dinner buffet is a bit…More »
7. Bombay Bhel Restaurant - CLOSED
I'm not sure how this place was put into the category of "Middle Eastern".... It's quite Indian. But anyway...
I love this place because it's the only Indian restaurant in Van I know that serves Bhel Puri and Pani Puri. I mean other places sell…More »
8. Mahek Chat House Ltd
Surrey, BC V3W 3N5
(604) 597-3835
Relatively inexpensive. Great place for vegetarians. Delicious dosas and chaats! Totally recommend it.
I ordered the basic Masala dosa and the dahi puri. Yum yum. nom nom. It's quick, cheap, and filling.
9. Bombay Palki Restaurant
Had an event here and they were pretty good with accommodating us. The food was delicious: Tandoori chicken, vegetable pakoras, butter chicken, mutter paneer, shahi paneer, vegetable rice, fresh naan, kheer, salad.... It's good if you want to have…More »
10. Chutney Villa South Indian Cuisine
I just tried this place this evening on a whim. I've always seen it as I pass by on the 99 B line and I've always been curious. And this evening we happened to pass it when looking for dinner place.
Upon entry, I was looking forward to the food…More »
11. Simba's Grill
This place had delicious food and wasn't too pricey. They serve (from what I gather) African-style Indian food. So there are still curries, and naan, rice and lassis. But the spices are different than North Indian spices. The service was…More »
12. Mahek Restaurant & Lounge
The food really deserves 5 stars because it's really good. The flavours are just right and the spice is all balanced as it should be. My biggest qualm with this place is that their service is often not professional and the servers are not on top of…More »
13. Mezbaan
They accommodated 35 of us (atleast)! They set up a buffet during dinner for us for $11.95 per person. They were very friendly too. (an extra star)
The food was A-OK. I liked the mixed veg curry and mutter paneer. Their butter chicken was alright.…More »
14. Guru Nanak Niwas
This is a sikh temple, but they didn't have that option in the drop box.
I came here for a wedding and everything was done in a fairly timely manner. As with all gurudwaras (sikh temples), you have to take off your shoes and cover your head as you…More »
15. Maurya Indian Cuisine
Vancouver, BC V6J 1W9
(604) 742-0622
2 years later I decided to give Maurya another shot. I was starving and was on my way to school when I decided to stop for the buffet lunch. They raised the price of the buffet to $13.99 and I really should know better by now because I don't eat…More »

I, too, was not impressed with Maurya. I went for their lunch buffet, which sounds like a good… Read more »
16. All India Sweets & Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5X 3H1
(604) 327-0891
Wow, the quality of this place went way down since I last came here. :(
Maybe the buffet is still okay... but that's not what we got. We ordered the basics, butter chicken, mutter paneer, garlic naan, rice pilaf. These were all okay tasting. The…More »

17. The Grand Taj
I came here for a friend's pre-wedding ladies party.
The staff were not very professional in serving us. My table never got served any chicken appetizers. And when we told them, they brought a dish after they took our plates and silverware!
The main…More »
18. Curry Point
Vancouver, BC V6T 1K6
(604) 221-0112
I went here after the longest time (a couple years I think). I thought it used to be good. Decent anyway. But it's really not! The rice is all watery, making all the curry taste watery. The butter chicken and the mutter paneer totally lack any…More »
19. Cafe Mumbai - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6K 2G6
(604) 737-2500
Yay, a decent Indian restaurant in Kits! I came here for lunch on a weekday and shared a papdi chat and butter chicken with a friend. It was very decent. The butter chicken had enough spice and heat to prevent me from complaining and was thick and…More »

Vancouver, BC V5X 3H3

Category:
Ethnic Food
Neighbourhoods: Sunset, Punjabi Market
Where do you go to find fresh okra? Here! A relatively expensive grocery store where you can find different conventional and Indian/Asian vegetables to cook with. For example, okra was $0.99 per pound! Crazy! And they have good quality ginger…More »
21. Kamal Sweets & Tandoori Hut Ltd
Surrey, BC V3W 4E1
(604) 598-1238
These guys are popular for Indian sweets and take out food. It seems they prepare everything fresh to order. I waited in line here for a little while and you gotta fight for your spot in line because the other customers will try to cut in front of…More »
22. Prabu Sweets
My parents swear by this place for their Indian sweets needs. They live far from here and in the middle of no where, almost. So whenever they come to visit, they always bring back a whole bunch of boxes of sweets from here to give to all their…More »
23. Indian Paan Shop & Flowers
The sweet paan here was pretty good, but a little too sweet for my taste buds. It also had some harder (candy?) bits in it which were a little difficult to chew and was a little unexpected for me when I ate it. But I still liked it overall and it…More »
