Service was very attentive, without being overbearing. As per our M.O., we wanted to try a sampling of everything, but we settled on a number of dishes. All the food was excellent and we'd highly recommend you try your favorite dishes here. We had the beef samosas, lamb saag, and tandoori chicken which were all very good. We also had the Palak paneer, which was ammmmazing. I eat a lot of spinach paneer, and Lachi's is in my top three all time favourites. Their flavour profile was great: complex, yet balanced. I can't wait to go back and have some more.

The inside is spacious with plenty of tables. Our server wasn't talkative but came by several times to refill ones to refill our waters. The menu is typical Indian fare but we were here to try their lunch specials (available until 2:30pm). Their dinner special ($32.95 for 2) seems like a great deal. We were asked how spicy we wanted our meal (we opted for medium). - Aloo gobi adraki ($9.95) - more of a home style, comforting take on aloo gobi. Plenty of rice and the naan (sprinkled with parsley) was fresh. - Lamb saag ($11.95) - it's an extra $1.00 to substitute for lamb/beef but totally worth it. Lamb was tender and included a couple of chunks. Satisfying, tasty eats at Lachi. Will be back for more next time we're in town.

But we did appreciate that the wine prices were very good. Since it's grown in our own back yards, and often restaurants are way over charging for a glass of wine. Making me forgo it altogether, til I get home. Big thumbs up there too! And also, he was slow to remove the dirty plates. Seemed to spend a lot of time in the back. And doesn't seem to be bringing anything out etc. And there was only two other tables of two people each. So he wasn't running off his feet, or anything to make up for his absents. Anyways over all it was great. And if the waiter was a more attentive then I would have been completely satisfied. But he was polite and eager to help when he was around. Although it's a little dated it seemed clean. That's important. At least what I could see anyways. I google mapped this location and it kept taking me around the block. Did the same for our friends we were meeting there. Might want to fix that.

It's not pretty good it's amazingly delicious! Tucked away with a sushi place under apartments, it doesn't look like much but inside is filled with wood and middle eastern decor. There is seating outside under maple trees and cozy eclectic is how I would describe it. Let's get to the food. Walked in and the smell of roasting meat, baking bread and spices was enticing and delicious. Menu was simple- beef, chicken or vegetarian choices either as a writ or platter! Hubby ordered the chicken shawarma wrap while I ordered the chicken shawarma platter to share with the kiddo. I have to say since moving from Vancouver I haven't quite found really good mediterranean places I could rave about. Looks like I hit the jackpot with fresh hummus I could eat by the bowlful and soft with a slight chew pita bread that is made in house. The chicken was tender and the sauce was lovely expecially over the rice. It came with salad, tahini sauce and falafels - so much food but it was so good that I kept eating it despite being full! Hubby helped out finishing and no small feat as his shawarma chicken wrap was huge! Definitely weighed in around 750g when I hoisted it out of the bag! While it was chicken shawarma as well, didn't have the sauce or rice but was filled with lots of hummus and he said the chicken was kind of crispy on the edges but still moist. He finished that wrap in short order and help finish my dinner! Okay, I will have to either make the hour drive more often or hope the owners open a 2nd location in Kelowna because the hummus and pita itself is worth it.

I've eaten at Wild Ginger before and had generally enjoyed it, which is why I suggested it when my…read moregirlfriend and I decided to go out for Chinese food on Friday night. Unfortunately, this was easily the worst meal I've had there. I ordered the almond chicken. The portion was generous, with four good-sized pieces, but the coating was extraordinarily hard. Instead of being light and crisp, it was so hard that it was almost like eating hard candy. The chicken itself was dry and tough, and the overall impression was that it had been cooked well in advance and reheated, although I obviously can't say that for certain. My girlfriend ordered the ginger beef. Unfortunately, the beef was also very tough and difficult to eat. It lacked the tenderness I would expect, and the texture was noticeably poor. What made this particularly disappointing was that I had previously had good experiences at Wild Ginger. I remember the vegetables being fresh and nicely steamed, and the food generally being enjoyable. The portions were generous, but portion size doesn't make up for food that is dry, tough, and difficult to eat. I'm leaving this review because I hope the restaurant takes the feedback seriously. I'm not looking to attack the business. I've eaten there before and that is exactly why this experience surprised me. I hope Friday night was an anomaly, because based on my previous experiences, I expected considerably better.

I ordered the flight of soups and chose the beef chuck chorizo chili, mushroom truffle lentil, and chicken dumpling soups. All three were done well. The beef & chorizo was spicy.

Since my kid and I love Greek food, Theo's was definitely on my list, if we had the chance, to have dinner here one night. Wow, what a marvelous restaurant! The restaurant exterior is unassuming but wow, inside, the decor is fabulous! We couldn't decide where to sit as every area inside was so picturesque and felt so intimate. Ultimately, we chose to sit in the front covered patio area. It felt like a little courtyard and our table was located a corner under a REAL grape tree. With hanging grapes! A small water-fountain gurgled behind us. We truly felt whisked away to some faraway Greek island. The menu was very large, with SO many dishes and platters to cheese from. We weren't starving, so we decided to share the moussaka (and hopefully save room for dessert!). Their cocktail menu looked fabulous, too, but we really wanted to save our appetite for the entree. (We've learned our lesson in the past, not to over-order!). When the moussaka arrived, the portion was very ample, and it was perfect to split in half. And we both agreed: it was probably the BEST moussaka we had ever had. Seriously, perfectly cooked, deliciously seasoned, perfect ratio of all the individual ingredients, just DELICIOUS and perfect. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! My kid loved the accompanying potatoes and carrots and lemony rice too, but I was too full from the main meal. And unfortunately, we were too full for dessert. Our server was lovely and attentive. My kid and I agreed we definitely will come back here when we next visit Penticton. I think this was the best Greek restaurant we've ever been to!

We were seated…read moreupstairs, where we loved the lush plant walls and the stunning "evil eye" mural (a classic Turkish touch that gives the space a super cool Palm Beach/coastal chic vibe!). Elma is built for sharing, and we leaned heavily into dishes with sweeter, fruit-forward profiles that turned out to be absolute hits: - Spreads: We tried both the Girit and Muhammara dips, with the Girit being our favorite for its creamy texture and unique flavor profile. - Starters & Mains: The charcoal-grilled octopus was cooked to perfection, the sea bass came with an incredible green sauce, and the Elma pide had amazing cheese pulls paired with a lovely truffle honey. The chicken shish with apricot glaze and the lamb kebab were standouts, but my absolute favorite dish was the slow-cooked lamb shank with its sweet fig glaze. - Dessert: We finished with the Laz Börek cannoli. Using crispy, light phyllo instead of a traditional fried tube was a clever twist, though it can get a bit messy to eat with your hands! The affogato looked amazing too, though we were too full to try it. A quick note for larger groups: We were a group of 10+, and because online reservations cap at 6 people, getting two tables placed together took a bit of back-and-forth friction. Minor logistics aside, the flavors were top-tier, and the setting on the lake can't be beat. Highly recommend!
