Chilli.Fish
Sophiya N.

Food was not good, the best I can say about the food is the basmati rice. Overly hyped restaraunt. The channa masala was okay, the chili fish tasted too moist. Service was very good & atmosphere was beautiful with dim and romantic lighting but we will not be returning. The mango lassi was good but nothing special a little bit too strong in yoghurt flavour.

Amritsari Kulcha

We were visiting from Seattle and stopped here for lunch. The combination of authentic Punjabi food combined with an upscale modern ambiance is not something we get in Seattle so I am absolutely blown away. We ordered Paneer Tikka, Channa Bhatura and Amritsari Kulcha along with Chicken Noodles for the kids. Everything was really good. We particularly like Channa Bhatura because Seattle hasn't been able to get this dish right. Staff was exceptionally nice and accommodating as well. Food came out fast. The only time we had to wait was to get the check. Very highly recommended if you like Punjabi food and are visiting Vancouver.

So glad they have this yaletown location so that I don't have to drive all the way to Surrey. Similar ambiance and decor. Same black outfit for servers and hostesses. Despite seeing empty tables inside, we requested a cozy table to celebrate my son's accomplishments. Hostess said they were all reserved and redirected us to the covered patio. At first we were fine with that even though I had intended to show off the interiors to my son. After a while, we felt cold so I requested for an inside table again. The manager then said he can turn on the heater for us. The food was no complaints. Tandoori chicken straight from the....tandoori, of course!. The curries were full.of flavour with lots of depth. After dining for an hour, we paid the bill amd on my way to the washroom. I saw that several tables were still empty. Not sure why we couldn't be seated inside. Hence the 4 stars.

Chicken malai sizzler
Anushka B.

Went to Tasty Indian Bistro in Yaletown on a Saturday afternoon. Their space is pretty big with a heated patio and two floors inside. The place was pretty empty so we were seated right away. We decided to sit in their patio which was super warm and cozy in the rainy weather! We ordered their channa bhattura, the bhatturas were so soft and hot they melted in your mouth. It came with channa masala, spicy potatoes, raita, and pickled onions (my fav). It came with two bathuras which was good for 2 people! We also ordered their malai chicken tikka, it came in a sizzler which salad and lemon. The chicken was very creamy and soft, again... melted in your mouth! Their customer service was stellar, the staff were very attentive and the food came out very quickly. I would recommend going in for their lunch specials, it's pretty affordable!

Tandoori chicken
Harsimran K.

We have tried this place many times. And we till keep coming back for more. Their food is sumptuous. The ambience is perfect for a date night or a family get together dinner. The host and staff are very welcoming and makes you feel very comfortable. We have tried butter chicken, tandoori chicken, classic chap, butter chicken, daal fry, and everything is just amazing. The chicken and chap are so soft that it just melts in your mouth. Love the vibe of this place. I'm also a fan of ther Murrabba mule. This is one of my Highly recommended places in Vancouver, BC.

Rice, veggies, butter chicken and tandoori lamb.
Greg M.

Fabulous food with great service. The butter chicken and tandoori lamb were to die for. The place has a really cool vibe as well!

Chicken tikka masala, basmati rice, naan
Molli S.

I've only tried takeout from this location, but it's very cute and I'd love to dine in or eat on the patio! The staff is always kind and our orders are consistently ready on time. The food was ALL delicious - I have no complaints! The chicken tikka was so flavorful and had a great spice, with large chunks of juicy chicken and fresh, cooked veggies. The rice is a la carte, but I think it's worth it and not terribly unreasonable. The garlic naan was recommended to us, and I think it's absolutely worth it! Everything was fresh and flavorful, 10/10! If you're in Yaletown, I absolutely recommend.

Came here as it was recommended by our Lyft driver and it exceeded my expectations! Living in the Bay Area, I feel we have some exceptional Indian food. However, paneer is one dish that I don't care for, but my mind was changed after dining here! The restaurant is huge, classy elegant vibes, but everyone dressed casually. I wish I remember our waitress' name, but she was so sweet and helped us pick our dishes. Their cocktails are unfortunately not customizable so went with my trusty Moscow Mule. We ordered Masala fries, pudina paneer tikka, butter chicken, kadahi paneer, rice, and naan. The masala fries were stickier than I imagined and overpowering in flavor, but I kept going back to them. Butter chicken was pretty good, heard they sell the sauce by the bottle! The kadahi paneer was a bit too spicy for me, even at medium level, but good. But the pudina paneer tikka was the star! Came on a sizzling plate, nice and hot, onions, mint, and paneer that was the perfect texture. Not rubbery as I am used to. It was so lovely and I would come back again just for this! I accidentally dropped the basket of naan on the ground and though we ate most of it, our waitress brought us a fresh batch! Sensational service and Indian food here!

Samosa chaat (done devouring most of it)
Shuba S.

Outstanding! 5 Star food all the way!!!! Our trips to Vancouver are incomplete without a stopover at TIB. We have ordered from their vast menu and this place never fails to disappoint. Kadhi pakodi, paneer appetizers or entrees, naan, rice, lunch specials, chef inspired dishes, we have tried it all. Their service and ambience is top notch as well. We typically go to Delta but Yaletown is just as good. Brought our friends here and they absolutely loved it.

Palak Patta Chaat

Amazing food and ambiance, tastes just like food tastes in India. And they were super accommodating with all our food requests

I've heard great reviews about this restaurant chain and was happy they have a location in Yaletown very close to the yaletown roundhouse skytrain station. The decor inside looks very beautiful and modern, and the service was very friendly and responsive to our questions about their menu as we wanted to try dishes we haven't tried before. We ended up ordering the chicken lababdar (as per our waiters recommendation) with medium spice, kadahi lamb (medium), lamb biryani (mild) and the kalonji naan. Overall the food was fantastic! Our waiters recommendation of the chicken lababdar was amazing; it was a tandoori chicken curry and honestly a MUST try. The initial curry flavour was very fragrant and not overpowering, allowing the subtle tandoori flavour to flood your senses, all paired with extremely juicy chicken that required no effort to chew. By far the best dish of the night. The kadahi lamb dish was also very good; the meat was tender and paired well with the lamb biryani. The lamb biryani was average, with the typical fragrance you would expect with a biryani however we found the lamb to be on the drier side. I would order it again with a medium spice level to see if it would enhance the flavour. The raita yogurt was also very refreshing and complimented the biryani. The kalonji naan was made to order and honestly the best naan I've ever had. The olive oil and various spices added to the naan added a unique and delicious fragrance to the naan, on an already perfectly cooked, crispy and chewy naan bread. The perfect supplement to the amazing curries we had this night. We were extremely happy with what we ordered, and the service from our host. Would definitely come back to try other dishes.

Corn Chops
Kumar V.

Everything stood out here. The hariyali Chicken tikka was one of the most flavorful tikka I had in a long time. The corn chops were really innovative..the chops and the dips were both very interesting.. Very nice dining experience and great service overall. Nice and beautiful ambience with quick service time.I have heard great things about their masala fries but didn't get a chance to try.

Lamb vindaloo- I think?

What can I say -- I was on a business trip to Vancouver BC and treated myself to an amazingly…read moredelicious meal (with abundant portions). I brought home the leftovers to enjoy the following day. So as I was looking forward to a yummy "replay" of the previous evening's delight, I received a text from my wife: "Your Indian leftovers looked so good that I ate half of them for my lunch. But I saved the other half for you." Oh well. Half is better than nothing, I suppose. Two hours later, another text from her: "The leftovers were so good that I accidentally ate the rest of them. (sorry)" So my yummy leftovers were all gone -- but it gives us both an excellent excuse to go back to Vancouver and try again! The Details: The staff made sure I was comfortable, that my glass was always full, and that everything was OK. At my request, they suggested some of their own favorites -- which were completely stellar! The "Malvani Chicken" (one of their recommendations) was new to me, but they said if I liked Butter Chicken, I'd love Malvani Chicken. (They were 110% correct.) They also recommended a dessert called "Soan Papdi Malai Khwaab" -- which was like a cardamom-cream mousse that had visited Heaven. So fantastic! The next time I've in Vancouver, I am definitely visiting them again. And this time, I'll hide my left-overs!

Great lunch specials are to be found here from 11 am - 3 pm everyday. My husband and I chose the…read morechicken ($17.00) and lamb ($18.00) thalis with "medium" heat. Both were absolutely excellent in flavour. Lamb was tender and well portioned for the price, in a luscious sauce I could have drunk like soup. Chicken was also delicious; there was a fruity, mango-like element in the sauce with accents of tomato and spice. Both dishes were accompanied by black dahl, yogurt seasoned with asafetida (an Indian spice that's a bit of an acquired taste), sliced carrots and cukes to cut the richness, with large, fan-shaped pieces of naan and a heap of basmati rice on the side. Oh, and a small bowl of cashew rice pudding was there for a sweet finish. We were satisfied but not overwhelmed by the portion sizes. Beyond the food, the decor is elegant and date-worthy. But my absolute favorite touch in the entire place was the bathroom sink, which I initially mistook for a garbage can. Just above it is a long golden spindle descending from the ceiling that's a bit puzzling at first. Brush it to one side and see what happens--definitely check it out!

TIKI DAVE and family were in need of lunch while visiting Vancouver and fast. Daughter of TIKI DAVE…read morewas "starving". We were staying at the Marriott around the corner and the reviews were solid and since both Canada (and Vancouver) and India were once British colonies, we figured Mount Everest Kitchen & Grill had to provide a good representation of Indian fare by proxy, right? And it sure was. All four of us were so happy with everything we ordered. I ordered the set menu with mutton curry, rice, daal, raita and some veggies. I love full-flavored things and I love mutton (older lamb) and you can't find it at most places. This curry was amazing. The wife and Son of Tiki Dave ordered Chicken Tika Masala and Chicken Tandoori. The girl ordered Chicken Teriyaki. WHAT?? But she loved it. Ambience was lovely; service was excellent. We also ordered two orders of Garlic Naan which was probably too much but delicious. We had LOTS of leftovers and dang it, I made certain to finish them off and did on the way to the airport the next day! TIKI DAVE from TIKI DAVE'S TERRIFIC TRIPS highly highly recommends Mount Everest Kitchen & Grill! I will be making a video of our experience that day and will be uploading it here!

First there is no mistaking this for a high end restaurant as another review recorded. This is a…read moresolid Nepalese joint. However it is not focused and instead provides a little bit of the region for everyone (Nepal, China, India, Pakistani influences). Came in for lunch on a weekday. Quickly seated and tended to by the staff. Interior is more of a diner scene than nice cafe. Bathrooms are gender neutral and clean but not nice. Here's my three things: 1) I got a lunch special featuring fish peckora, and tandoor chicken. Good flavor but missed on the real spice flavors. Veg salad was sour and worked with the rest of the plate. 2) These folks can make some NAAN! The Naan stole the show. Sweet, salty and crisp. 3) Price wise you can fill up and have a drink for $25-30CAN.
