Despite the gloomy weather, we had a great time! Loved the decor of the place, and the windows overlooking the bay, the cute flowers and lanterns on each table and the presentation of the food itself. The pakoras were plenty amd perfect to have with the mocha and masala chai. We were stuffed already! The Bombay Masala toast was heavenly. Toasted to a nice crispness and could see the butter shining on top. The panner chili filling was really good and close to what we get in Mumbai. The owner was really nice and we had a long chat with her about the place and White in general (since we're new) Plenty of parking outside.

There were some flies that kept bothering us during the meal, but overall we really enjoyed our dinner here!

Asked the kids if they would come back and they both said, "100%!" which makes me so happy as we introduce our kids to more and more foods we love. Thanks for giving us a wonderful gateway!

Golgappa was ok- more DIY style with everything served separately. Nothing all that special. Turned out fine though bc it allowed us to gorge on the Butter Chicken which was delicious. Chicken doesn't come with any rice so we ordered naan which was perfect with it. I sopped up all of the sauce. Who knew White Rock had so many Indian eateries? Major reason to come back across the border. The location is fun for people watching from the outdoor patio and we appreciated it being dog friendly. However there are a LOT of cars cruising the road in the evening and the loud motors gunning are no fun to listen to.

Definitely would order again. My only feedback would be the change the pictures of the biryani on your website, looks really weak and like there's not any good stuff inside, we almost avoided it for that reason

Wow! A hidden gem of deliciousness! I can't even begin to explain how tasty this Indian restaurant…read moreis! This restaurant is totally underrated. From the moment you step in, you know you're in for something special. It was a delicious experience from first bite to last! Every dish is full of rich, layered flavours that truly capture the essence of Indian cuisine. The spices are balanced perfectly, and everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared. It's rare to find a place where every item on the table feels thoughtfully prepared and full of flavour. Each bite was deeply flavorful without being overpowering, and the aroma alone was enough to make the experience unforgettable. The balance of spices in every dish was perfect, creating a harmony of flavors that left us craving more. Every single dish was absolutely delicious...you can truly taste the love and care the chef put into it. The food was incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and generously portioned. Each bite was pure comfort, and the flavors were deeply satisfying without being overwhelming. The fish tikka was served sizzzzling hot! The Hunny Chilly Cauliflower is a must, seriously addictive! It had the right sweet-spicy balance! And the Vada Pav Sliders were just as satisfying! Every dish was bursting with flavour, each one seemingly trying to outshine the other! It truly felt like the dishes were competing among themselves for our attention -- and we loved every bite. The butter chicken was an absolute hit! But dip some garlic naan into it and it's game over! The butter chicken was comforting, nostalgic, and unapologetically classic--proof that when done right, simplicity is everything! The garlic naan was perfectly crisp at the edges, soft inside, and fragrant with just the right amount of butter and garlic! If you love rice you cannot miss the pulao! I cannot stop raving about the flavour and spice of the Karahi Chicken. And paired with the butter naan, it's an elite combo! The dishes are fresh, well-seasoned, and full of authentic taste. The staff made recommendations of some amazing food that I normally wouldn't have tried. You can really tell the food is made with care and authenticity. What I really appreciated was that the spice level could be adjusted to our liking - such a thoughtful touch. A big shoutout to the chef- thank you for putting so much heart into the food. You can really taste the care and balance in every bite. But what made it even more special was the amazing hospitality -- the owner and staff were so warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about food. They made sure everything was perfect, gave great recommendations, and always checked in at the right time without being intrusive. Service like this truly elevates the dining experience. They took the time to explain the menu in detail, offered thoughtful recommendations, and genuinely checked in to make sure everything was perfect. You can tell they truly care about the experience they're providing. The food is simply outstanding--modern Indian cuisine at its finest. Every dish is a delightful fusion of bold flavors, creative presentation, and authentic Indian spices, elevating the entire dining experience. You can tell they've put real effort into keeping the traditional taste alive. From the taste to the service, everything was top-notch. From the location to the interior, everything fits the vibe perfectly and feels authentic the moment you walk in. Combined with friendly service and a comfortable environment, Kesari is a place that invites you to stay, savour, and truly enjoy your meal. We will definitely be visiting again -- and more often. Do NOT sleep on this place for some good Indian food!
