Went here for Dine Out with two friends. We arrived on time for our reservation and were seated immediately. We were seated by the front, but looking deeper into the restaurant I liked the darker colour tones and wall accents. We tried shared our Dine-Out meals: - Sarson Ke Phool: Good. Broccoli and cauliflower were way more softer than expected, but nice flavours. - Chicken Kondattam: Very good. Still a bit crispy and loved the spices. - Raw Mango Bhel: Good. I really like the flavours and textures in this dish. Just wished it didn't get soggy so fast. - Hyderabadi Murgh: Good. Just a great dish to go with the rice. - Khurmani Kofta: I didn't enjoy this one. I've never had this dish before, but tasted more like a dessert. Maybe something I'm not accustomed to. - Ginger Lamb Biryani: Good. Well made and very fragrant. - Rose Pistachio Tres Leches: OK. It was fine. Not too sweet, but nothing outstanding. - Classic Coconut Payasam: Good. Very simple but comforting. Service was pleasant. No issues came up. Overall, a good meal. I enjoyed most of the dishes, and felt it reasonably priced. I'd consider coming back read more

I celebrated my birthday at Sula with my girlfriends and had an amazing time! We made a reservation for 7:00 PM and were seated right away. The servers took great care of us. ​My favorite dish was the Ragda Samosa Chaat. I actually wanted to order a second one, but I asked one of the lovely servers for a recommendation instead. She suggested the Dahi Puri Chaat, and the layers of flavor were incredible! The fresh yogurt, chutneys, and pomegranate made every bite feel like a party in my mouth. Obviously, the garlic naan and chicken curry also deserve an honorable mention. ​The staff warned us that another party was arriving at 9:00 PM, so we were trying to wrap things up. This made it even more surprising when they brought out a mango-coconut dessert with a candle and sang 'Happy Birthday!' I felt so special. It was a lovely surprise that made the whole experience memorable. Thank you to the Sula team--you made my day! read more

First time coming here. I'm a sucker for butter chicken or goat curries and I asked the server to recommend something different. They said chicken madras which they said is very different. When I tasted it, it tasted like butter chicken with coconut. It's good but not very different. Portions are quite big and you can probably make 2 medium sized meals with it. The mango lassi is good and the veg pakora is good. Samosas were also good and they are generous with the tamarind sauce. I was really excited to see paneer 65 as none of my friends have ever tried it. It was a bit disappointing as it was not crispy and not flavorful. I think the best 65 is still Bahubali Birtani House in Surrey. Servers are extremely nice here. The atmosphere and decorations are fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place for their curries. read more

I got the North Indian Chicken Biryani-$22.50. Was a bit worried at first when it came because the bowl looked a bit small, but they packed it in so densely that it was actually a lot of food. Very generous with the amount of chicken pieces in there, and I really liked how well the spices blended all together in the biryani. The raita on the side was very refreshing and had cucumber+cilantro+green onion pieces inside! it really elevated it and balanced out the biryani perfectly! read more

Sula- Main Street - North Indian Chicken Biryani-$22.50 - Indian Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Ambiance is a little more than casual, dim lighting and strangely large cushion-y chairs. More suitable for adults (not so much for kids) We tried Tandoori Chicken (marinate is slightly spicy), lamb kadai (very tender lamb) and malai kofta (the sauce is amazing, very complex and flavorful, but I didn't like the texture of the potato dumpling). Highly recommend the garlic naan, crispy with charred edges, one of the best I've tried. Overall, food and service are both excellent. Without us asking, the waiter brought over some raita for my son because she knew the tandoori chicken would be too spicy for him. read more

Came here for lunch with my wife. Service was amazing ... really friendly and patient. I had the Tava Tikki Chaat lunch special, which was really tasty. My wife had the Vada Pav sliders, which were super filling, but a little dry for my taste. If there was more chutney or perhaps yogurt sauce in there, it would have been a bit better. Love the location, we sat outside. A little crowded with the tables being so close together. read more

Awesome food. Really hit the spot. Left nothing on our plates. Had the butter chicken and traditional lamb curry with garlic naan and a generous portion of jasmine rice. The appetizer was a Chana masala mixed with a potatoes patty that was fabulous. The food was slow to the table but Ruby's service was exemplary. read more

Came here for dinner with some friends. The serving sizes were really large, could have shared it all. The food was extremely very rich and heavy in flavour. Would say it was good but not great for my personal preference. Service was decent, our server came back to check on us once to make sure everything was going well. Autogratuity of 18% for our party and was appreciative that our server made it known. Restaurant smelled good and had very comfortable chairs and nice lighting. Heated patio as well. If you go, would recommend order to share as the serving sizes are so large! read more

Great place for authentic Indian food. Came with a group that knew this place and knew what to order and it was delicious and what we had not too spicy. The butter chicken was great and not too rich, Masala was tasty and lamb was really tender. Nan bread came very thin and some a little thicker that was homemade and fresh. Great service and friendly staff. Also parking was not an issue on Main Street or the side streets was reasonable. read more

My go-to Indian restaurant in Vancouver. It's a vibrant setting where they've made an effort with the decor. Unusually comfortable seats inside. There's a covered patio outside with a good amount of seating - be prepared for the warmest overhead heater in the Lower Mainland. We shared a few dishes: Dahi Puri - crispy, light wheat shells stuffed with potato, spices and yogurt. Surprisingly delicate and bright. Sula's appy platter - comes with pakoras, paneer fingers, a samosa, and some chutneys. The pakoras are my favourite of the bunch. (Usually, I get the Bhajia which are divine - can be quite salty so have a drink at hand). The paneer fingers had a fun texture but lacked depth of flavour. Achari Murg Masala - chicken in a slightly sour sauce/slightly sweet sauce of warm masala spices, tomato and onion. It was good, but I think the Chicken Tikka Masala is better for a similar dish. Lamb Rogan Josh - wonderfully cooked lamb in a rich tomatoey masala sauce with strong flavours of ginger and garlic. A classic of the genre. We also got basmati rice and garlic naan. Love the naan. A lot. Overall it's a lot of food even between two hungry people. Be prepared to eat curry the next day too - which is no real hardship. Service is attentive. They check in for each dish and to see how spice levels have landed. Plates are changed between courses which is a nice touch. Will keep coming back time and time again. They do a brunch at the weekend which I want to try next. read more

Definitely recommend having reservations for this place as they can have a long wait which is definitely worth it. A good after work dinner place to meet up with friends for some good food and drinks. Authentic delicious Indian food. Reasonably priced for a city restaurant. Tables can be a bit crowded inside but aesthetic was inviting and warm. We got paneer fingers and masala fried wings for appetizers. For main dishes, we got Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Rogan Josh and Prawn Vindaloo with sides of garlic naan and potato naan. For dessert, must try the gulab jamun. read more

Super yummy Indian food on the East Van Main St. There's a nice happy hour in the afternoon that we stopped by for, and had the vada pav sliders and a kofta. The vada pav was super tasty, and very filling. It could probably be a whole meal for me. The kofta was good as well, but it was very tomatoey and acidic and I really just couldn't eat too much of it at once. Highly recommend! read more

Phenomenal service, went above and beyond to take care of us. Get the paneer and spinach stuffed naan. We tried 4 curries and they were all incredible. read more

Great food! The dal makhani and murg tikka masala were fantastic. Service was lovely as well, and the restaurant's decoration is beautiful. The only thing that wasn't my favorite was that the chai's spice mix was very heavy on the black pepper - however this is personal preference as I gave it to someone else in the party and they really enjoyed it. Would definitely go back. read more

Really wanted to love this place. Got the Palak Paneer which was lovely. Got the lamb vindaloo which is my favorite dish and I have no idea what that was. Was pure coconut no head and literally had TWO PIECES OF LAMB AND TWO PIECES OF POTATO in the whole container. Inflation I guess. read more

Consistently amazing! Each time when we savour the intricate flavours of Sula's Indian cuisine, we discover more of their magic of balancing spices! Service is very friendly, kudos to Aryan and his team we were always greeted with a warm smile, today we tried their "Holiday Menu" which consist of a starter, main and dessert all for an amazing $27.00 ( for some items there maybe an additional cost ). Our starter came pipping hot which is an indication that these are all prepared when we order and not pre-made and warmed! Starter Outstanding item: Samosa Pinwheel .. perfect small bites of samosa, I can just have this as my meal!! They are so good, very light and delicious! Main Outstanding item: Lamb Hara Patha .. Tender chunks of lamb cooked with baby spinach, caramelized onion, tomato and fenugreek, sauce is rich and has a slight kick, which goes perfectly with their garlic naan.. For dessert we had the Vegan Mango Coconut Pudding and the Saffron Lemon Ricotta Cake both were a delight after the wonderful meal! Was told about their new location on Davie Street in the West End soon to be opening! Well, thats another place for us Yelper to look out for! read more

I will use the word amazing too many times in this post. Food: it was amazing. We had a perfect appetizer Dahi Puri, it's a mixture of flavor and texture. Too much to write about, but it was Amazing. Melodie ordered Chicken Kadai. The gravy and chicken were delicious, and yes, amazing. I'll order this next time. I had Mangalorian Chicken Ghee Roast. The coconut curry with blackened mustard was delightful. I ordered the hot (spicy) one. It made me sweat, but I couldn't stop eating it. It was amazing! Service: Everyone was welcoming with greetings and smiles on their faces. Our server was Raj. He was so helpful. It was our first time there. Raj made excellent recommendations, from our drinks to our Chocolate chai pistachio cheesecake. All was amazing! Ambiance: Great atmosphere, light music in the background. Easy to converse and enjoy company. If you get a chance, definitely go to Sula. read more

This one Indian restaurant makes me want to move to Vancouver. Despite our years living in Seattle and Chicago we haven't been able to find anything comparable. My mum and grandmother are amazing cooks but Sula's food taste like the food they make at home. We haven't had the chance to dine in as yet but love the wooden interior every time we've gone in for take out. We look forward to trying out their covered patio next summer. What is so incredible is that they are able to tailor their dishes to spice level. Despite me being Indian I can't take heat nor can my children but the Sula chefs are so talented and able to make the dishes mild while it still be amazingly flavorful with Indian spices. This is so rare since usually when I ask for mild dishes at other Indian takeout spots they tend to be overly sweet and you taste no Indian spices. Our favorite dishes are aloo gobi (potato with cauliflower), lamb saag (lamb with spinach curry), and any of the biryanis. I really wish they would consider opening a Seattle based outpost! read more

Stopped here for lunch and loved the restaurant. From welcoming and attentive staff to flavorful fresh food, to cozy interior - this place was excellent. There's a lot of options to choose from and every day there is some kind of special (i.e. vegetarian dishes are $2 off in Mondays). Very happy we found this restaurant - would definitely come back! read more

You have the craziest web site - I had an account. I can't sign in . I tried for 1/2 hour. My husband has an account and he can't sign in. We tap to get new password- we get a screen that doesn't go anywhere. Please Sula. You have to delete your account systems & platforms. The platform takes all the info. Including credit cards! and then forces you into a 'sign-in' that doesn't work and the rescue doesn't work either. Happened last year too. We tried to order food for 6 people. Finally in tears, phoned to get the guy who says use the platform. On the phone the guy tries to walk you through the platform. Eventually he took the order over the phone. I love your food . Make it easy. Until then you lost us. read more

Amazing service and life changing food! The decoration is beautiful, but also the hospitality. They automatically greeted us and sat us as soon as possible.

First time at this restaurant and my friend and I were seated on the patio. We got the vegetable pakora to share and I got the Lamb Rogan Josh. At a medium spice level it was made perfect to my liking. The curry flavour was delicious and the meat was tender. I would get it again but would want to try more items on their menu next time. read more

Amazing food, great portion size, nice vibe in the room. Great value The only thing I didn't like is their front door is constantly swarmed by Uber eats drivers for their large takeout business. It interferes with the experience if you are seated at the front. Next time I will Insist to be seated at the back. read more

I have been wanting to go here for so long and I was disappointed. Definitely the interior has been done good. But I wish same effort was put into food. It was oily, tasteless and none of it was well done. It was way too salty or sugary. The chicken was undercooked. Tandoor Chaap was soggy. And most importantly it was oily and for no reason. Service was slow and there is a long wait time. read more

One of our favorite spots on Main Street. It's great Indian food. They have their own tandoor, which is great! The tandoori menu is amazing and the naan is fresh and delicious. We've come back to this location a few times, so obviously quite happy with the restaurant. It's Indian done right. I like the ambiance, decoration and the service. The staff are very attentive and never miss any of your requests. We'd highly recommend it. read more

Favourite restaurant alert!! A friend of mine recommended Sula so we tried to get in on a Friday night but the place was packed! - make sure to make a reservation during peak hours‼ We ended up coming for lunch instead. They have a covered and heated outer area and a dining room inside, both equally nice. I love thé décor and ambiance. You can tell that the space was well thought out. The staff was really lovely and attentive. They answered all our questions and even turned our plates over between courses and made it feel like a luxurious dining experience. The food was incredibly delicious! We ordered: Veggie samosas ($12.95) - the portions were very generous and it was honestly the best samosa I've ever had PERIOD. Loved the chutney too and the presentation was amazing. Lamb Rogan Josh Curry ($20.95) - the lamb was incredibly tender and full of flavour. It was served in a very nice little pot. I think one curry is enough for 2-4 people. Basmati rice ($5) Garlic naan ($5.25) We also got drinks and I was incredibly impressed by the flavours and quality of the drinks. I'm still thinking about Rati's Embrace. They were surprisly affordable ($12 cocktails in this economy)?? Next time I'm getting multiple rounds. Needless to say. We will be back the next chance we get. Will probably visit some of their other locations too just to see the ambiance! I was definitely blown away by the quality and flavours. For 2 people, we ordered more than enough food and even had leftovers to take home. Trust me, you'll want to try a few different things. Absolutely recommend!! read more

I can see why this place is so popular. In addition to somehow making the interior feel completely like another country (no expense spared!), it was probably the best Indian food I've had in recent times. Every dish was excellent, no exceptions. I was a bit limited by the people I went with in terms of trying more flavours and spice so I'll be back to try more. I do find almost every eating experience these days to be over-priced, but this seemed worth it (and I'm just cheap). read more

Food, Service and Ambience was great! I did not care/ agree with the two maximum for dinner though. We felt rushed that we had to be finished by a certain time. This made for no time to have dessert or a glass of wine after dinner and get caught up with family in town from Alberta. read more

Great food ... for carry out or eating in. We enjoyed the fruity naan as our dessert. Also not too expensive.

Returned for Dine Out Vancouver for 2022 and so glad we did. Again love the decor of the room. The seating is in compliance with COVID protocols and I was very comfortable eating at this establishment. This time around I opted for tandoori chicken drumsticks for the appetizer, the butter chicken with garlic naan for the main and the pistachio rasmalai for dessert. I quite liked the actual dishes the food was served in along with the tableware. And the food was quite good. The tandoori chicken was just the right size for an appetizer and I enjoyed the spices. The butter chicken was excellent, very creamy with the right amount of heat. And one could definitely taste the pistachio in the rasmalai...a nice end to the meal. The only negative, and it is a slight negative, is that there was only one piece of naan as I do enjoy dipping the naan in the butter chicken sauce. Came away very full with leftovers. The was no issue with the service and our server was pleasant and attentive. It was a very positive food experience and happy to recommend Sula if in the area and looking for Indian food. read more

Such amazing flavours in every dish. I recommend the coconut rice and mutter paneer most. Their biryani wasn't the best I've ever had but still solid if you're craving a biryani! I love both Sula locations for their ambience. I always recommend them for out of town visitors as the food is classic and tasty while the vibes are more refined than a lot of other Indian staples. We came in a group of 6 and the servers were very helpful and attentive the whole time. We also didn't wait long for our food. A perfect experience. read more

Interesting decor. Not the typical Indian aesthetics about town. Of course this is SOMA, the hottest / hippest area in town. Place was empty for lunch. We had originally wanted sit on the patio but there were no heat lamps so opted for the deep dark railroad room near back next to the kitchen with some heat. Mind you today is a brisk day of 2-5 degrees Celsius. Luckily there were some skylights with some abstract bird cagy lighting thing going on. Our food came. I appreciate the heavy stoneware and clunky cutlery. Either you think authentic or over the top. Wished they had warmed the stone cold plates, as soon as I transferred the hot food over they were chilled. Minor details. Food wise, found most dishes,the lamb, and eggplant seems to have been sautéed then cooked with sauce. Kind of lacking the penetration of flavours. Maybe that's just their thing? Also I would probably consider the "lamb" dishes muttons as they are not typically young and tender, slightly gamey and dry. You know these sheep have been around the block. They have done the wild thing. Overall okay experience with mixed results. I would probably appreciate it more if it wasn't so hyped up. read more
