We went for dinner and were expecting just a name change and perhaps a menu refresh but we were pleasantly surprised. We had lamb vindaloo, palak paneer, and Rahra chicken, which we'd not had before. There was more lamb and paneer than I would have expected, and the rahra dish had both chicken thigh pieces and minced chicken in it. They were also good about no cilantro, which I always ask for but have 70-30 odds of it still appearing. We actually had so much with 3 dishes, we had to take it home, which NEVER happens at a normal Indian place. Service was lovely. It was a great experience and I would definitely go back.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE 5 stars: that's what happens when you…read morecome across a desert of vegetarian places, yet find one with good food, service, at very reasonable prices! === 2. FOOD - Eggplant & Beancurd ($10.50): how does one describe how the this dish's namesake is amazing with Napa cabbage, a boiled egg, all on a bed of rice? Points for portion, taste, and price! - Vegetarian BBQ Pork Rice ($11.75): if there was a bento box that was healthy yet tasty, this may be it! From the rolls, Napa cabbage "salad", boiled egg, and the generous portion of imitation BBQ pork on rice - each compartment is a treat! === 3. SERVICE For a food stall in a food court, the service was good in English, and I heard it going well in Mandarin also. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's the Parker Place food court, so it's as good as you are comfortable with it. Despite the closeness of the tables to each other, wheelchairs and baby strollers will fit. Parking is as good as your luck in the constantly-busy shopping complex lot.

The owner is incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely cares about his customers. We ordered the saag paneer, methi chicken, and butter naan, and every dish was absolutely delicious. The butter naan was soft, fluffy, and fresh, pairing perfectly with both curries. The saag paneer was rich and flavorful, while the methi chicken was beautifully spiced and cooked to perfection. We also enjoyed the salty lassi and chai. My parents especially loved the chai, it had the perfect blend of cardamom and ginger, making it both aromatic and comforting. We will definitely be back!

Everything was flavourful, and felt healthy, I didnt feel gross after eating this food (most places in surrey you feel like there is MSG and feel not good after eating it) but I felt leaving good! The place was busy when I came in and the staff was very nice and attentive Overall it is very clean, and there is absolutely no meat or eggs there.

My boyfriend and I were planning on watching a movie at the nearby Strawberry Hills Cineplex. After…read morea search of restaurants in the area, we found this one. A vegetarian bistro and we had just been talking about trying more vegetarian dishes? Why not? As the name suggests, it is small and quaint, buried in a strip mall and one of those "blink and you'll miss it" places. The decor reminded me of a contemporary restaurant where everything is chosen based on their ease of ability to be cleaned (and for the record, the place was clean), with enough seats to sit about 15 people, and I may be rounding up. We were the second table to enter and we were greeted promptly and given the menus. Perhaps I was misled by the restaurant name and did not really know what to make of the meat dishes that I saw: Beef burger? Chicken Nuggets and Fries? Crispy Chicken Burger? I saw nothing to indicate they were the vegetarian version of chicken nuggets or beef burgers, and about 2/3 of the menu was vegetarian or vegan options, so I surmised they must have put a few meat options there to satisfy any meat eaters that wander through the door. I settled on the Spaghetti with Veggie Balls and the boyfriend ordered the Veggie Curry. The pasta was quite filling (included garlic bread) and I discovered the veggie balls and/or sauce was a tad above my spiciness tolerance level, and was even spicier than the Veggie Curry. In hindsight, I wasn't surprised: it is my personal experience that a lot of the times a vegetarian dish will have a lot of spices added in. Chalk it up to not reading the ingredients carefully and thinking things through. In terms of service, I thought it was great. Water glasses were filled regularly, the waitress checked up on us to ask how we were enjoying the food. I would be very interested in coming back and trying other items on the menu!

New owners. Ambiance is nice but pretty dark for a luncheon…read moreunless you are trying to eat in the dark... then you will enjoy this place. The vegetarian thali is unfortunately awful. Paneer is not fresh and taste like it was cooked from frozen which gives a weird texture. The shrimp tandoori is good but it came out raw and this is the 2nd time eating there. The daal was delicious. The yellow and black were both delicious but wished it was a bit tastier with more spices. Not sure if the chef is new or is just starting out... but please start tasting your food before sending it out because it all looks great... but lacks taste. I am hoping that you do better because I don't want to give up on you....

The menu in store said it also came with 2 grape leaves but those were not there. I liked the tabbouli, which was fresh and extra lemony. The falafels and eggplant were too oily. It was good that the falafels were extra crispy but I felt like I could taste the oil itself, and the eggplant was completely soggy with oil. The potatoes did not have the excess grease problem and were nicely seasoned. The hummus was good but drizzled with oil which was the last thing I wanted more of. The pita was the kind you can buy at the grocery store, would have been nicer if it was warmed up. The veggie deluxe plate was about $20 after tax, which is towards the upper end of prices for donair shops. This plate does contain more of a variety than the falafel plates at lots of shops though. The amount of food was enough that I felt full. I can't really say if it was worth it because I was so turned off by the greasy eggplant that I wasn't able to really enjoy it. To me the staff was neither friendly nor unfriendly. Anything with falafel takes a little longer because they fry them to order, so considering that, the wait time for my food was reasonable.

One of these days, I'm going to sit down in the restaurant and give a review on that end. For now, all I can speak on is the food. I ordered my lunch at the office from SkipTheDishes. The Greek salad was tangy, vibrant, and crisp with a tang from the green olives and a zip from the feta. The flavours mingled into a fresh, onion-fueled bite topped with cleansing lettuce and cucumber alongside fresh sliced tomato. The mixed shawarma donair in tannour bread? If you're ever ordering from here, do *not* miss out on the Tannour bread. Light, crispy, flavourful, and a perfect shell to hold the fillings of juicy meats, veggies, sauces and all. Combined with their house hummus and hot sauce? You can't go wrong. The whole meal was filling, flavour packed, and healthier than other options. You can literally taste the freshness. I would have liked more feta and olive in my salad, as a personal preference, and couldn't find any chicken in my "mixed shawarma", but nonetheless, I did enjoy it very much. If looking for a good appy, I recommend their "lentil soup" or "seasoned potatoes as well (be warned these are oiled up but oh so good!) I'll continue to be a regular at Crispy Falafel when ordering lunch, and continue to recommend to friends and family ;)
