I was especially happy that it was just the right amount of sweet (I usually ask for drinks less sweet but this was perfect). I would 100% get this drink again, it was love at first sip. Their dirty chai frappe was a bit too creamy and did not have much flavor in it. I do appreciate how it's only $1 to size up to a large, and that the prices are all super responsible. The French toast was sooo good it was melty, cheesy, and spicy - such a great twist to a classic brunch item. It did take what felt like quite a while to get our order but they were super busy. I went on a Sunday afternoon. There isn't much seating but it wasn't too too hard to get a table.

Excellent Indian food you won't get many other places in Vancouver…read more Most Indian food in the city is Punjab. This place offers something different: Maharashtrian food, all-vegetarian, with many vegan options. Top-notch service -- the guy serving us was very helpful in letting us know what was or could be vegan. We ordered: -Oli Bhel ($13.38). Classic bhel puri with chutney mixed in. Excellent textures and flavour balance. -Ragda patties ($16.84). Two (non-fried) potato patties in a white pea curry (seemed like chickpeas), garnished with a sweet green chutney and sev. This was probably our favourite dish. -Misal bhakri ($22.11). Very spicy moth bean curry, served with farsan, chopped raw onions, and a bhakri (roti-like bread). Really fantastic flavours and textures again. Everything was fantastic. The dishes were staggered one by one, so that made for a nice paced experience. We loved the food. However, this type of cuisine doesn't exactly make a for a balanced, healthy meal -- there's a lack of vegetables and it's fairly low protein -- so hard to see us coming back frequently, but this is definitely highly recommended for a different Indian food experience.

I had the pleasure of experiencing the restaurant at its 14th Avenue and Cambie Street location in…read moreFairview, both dining in and enjoying the food through takeout. In every setting, the experience was exceptional. The food is truly remarkable. There is a vitality to it that is difficult to describe until you experience it for yourself. The ingredients taste fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully prepared, and there is an unmistakable energy in the food. What struck me most was how I felt after eating: energized, nourished, and genuinely good. There is a sense of vitality that stays with you, and you leave feeling refreshed, satisfied, and restored. I was also fortunate to meet the owner, who was exceptionally kind, warm, and generous with his time. He spoke with me about the traditions behind the cuisine and took the time to enlighten me about the depth, history, and significance of the food. He also introduced me to some wonderful and interesting drinks, making the experience feel personal and memorable. His passion and knowledge gave me an even deeper appreciation for what I was tasting and for the traditions being carried forward through the restaurant. There is something genuinely special and distinctive about this place. The food has depth, character, and integrity, yet it is remarkably accessible. It seems to transcend cultural boundaries and is appreciated by people from so many different backgrounds. Perhaps that is because, at its heart, it is simply delicious, thoughtfully prepared food that makes you feel good. That combination of exceptional food, genuine hospitality, freshness, tradition, and vitality is rare. Whether you dine in or take the food home, you can feel the care and intention behind it. This is more than simply a meal; it is an experience that leaves you nourished, energized, and grateful to have discovered it.

I…read morehad one of the best chicken tikka masala entrees I've had in a long time at this nice family-run restaurant--and at $18.99 I was worried about the flavor since they were kind enough to accommodate my request for no onion or garlic due to SIBO. The flavor was still rich, creamy and perfectly balanced to me! My husband ordered the same but without any ingredient restrictions. He thought his was pretty awesome as well but the star at this dinner was the naan. It arrived piping hot and with the right chewiness to it. It looked and smelt heavenly! He inquired how it was made and they told us each order is made fresh and by hand. My hubby said this naan rises above all the others he ate in India. Service was personal and very good. A tad slow at times but the family crew members had many take out orders during our stay. No worries. I'm planning a return visit already.

Everything was delicious, but the butter chicken was definitely the favorite at our table. The kids absolutely loved it and couldn't stop talking about it. The goat curry was flavorful and tender, and both appetizers were packed with flavor. The restaurant was very clean and had a welcoming atmosphere. The lady serving us was very friendly, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. If you're looking for tasty Indian food and great service, this place is definitely worth a visit. We'll be back!

The star of the meal was definitely the Raju gari mutton biryani. The mutton was so tender and flavorful and the rice excellently cooked, very fluffy without being greasy. The eggplant offer a nice vegetation option with a tamarind twist. We got the double kamita to go and it was perfect. The portion sizes are massive so you'll have food to take away as well. Staff are very nice and service is fast. Nice interior space with booth and table seating. Overall highly recommend 10/10.

We asked our server for recommendations of their best items and ordered Andhra Chicken Fry starter, and Dhamaka Special Mutton Dum Biryani. The Andhra Chicken Fry starter was okay, instead of being on drier side for an appetizer, it had enough gravy that we could have eaten a naan with it. It was spicy like we wanted but otherwise just okay. We had great hopes for the Dhamaka Special Mutton Dum Biryani, but it was just okay. Overall we were disappointed with the food.

The garlic naan bread is recommended! Each curry comes with a good portion of rice or naan. I like how they play Kpop in here. Will try the traditional butter chicken instead of the classic next time. We found it very creamy. There are only six tables here so come early or get take out.
