    Great food
    Roy W.

    November 2025 A great meal at Varsha Indian Kitchen in Victoria BC Coconut chicken wings Dal Tadka Butter Chicken with Saffron Rice and Garlic Naan. Just a wonderful meal. My vote for the best butter sauce I have had. Worth a visit if in Victoria. Centrally located.

    Vindaloo curry and tandoori chicken tikka
    Cristina L.

    Was in Victoria visiting for the weekend and stumbled upon the Indian restaurant. We ordered the vindaloo curry and tandoori chicken tikka. They were both very flavourful. The staff was very nice and friendly. Will be coming back here again to try to other dishes.

    Went here with my mom and my husband while we were on a trip from Oregon. It was a very cozy and colorful environment. I can't remember the name of what we ordered, but it came with four vegetarian Indian dishes, naan, and gulab jamun. Highly recommend; a wonderful price. We shared everything and we were happily stuffed.! we substituted plain rosemary garlic naan, and it was absolutely delightful! My mom really enjoyed chatting with some of the staff, they were so friendly . Also, the masala chai was amazing. Really wish we would've had time to come back here again!

    Butter chicken samosa and veg pakora

    Food is fabulous, everything was super yummy and medium spice level was pretty mild! Service on a Saturday night was a little slow but it was fairly busy so blaming that. Decor is simple and inviting, menu is vast!

    Chicken tikka masala, paneer makhani, palak paneer, naan

    The service was pretty good and the atmosphere was alright. There was an endless parade of food delivery people coming in and out-- and that's when you KNOW the food is good! The makhani paneer was good, and the palak paneer was EXCELLENT. If you like this dish you will LOVE the palak paneer here, the spinach was not over processed and I had small chunks of ginger, which made me know that it was made in house. So good and fresh.

    Chicken tikka masala was not on menu, but server said kitchen would make it. Was made with lots of ginger and cilantro and spices, which I really liked, but did not care for green bell peppers. Tikka masala tasted very different than what I am use to in the US, not as creamy or sweet! But wonderfully delicious and was a medium spicy level. Turns out butter chicken is the equivalent of what I know as chicken tikka masala...creamy tomato sauce curry, which was good. Chicken in both instances was white meat tandoori, not overcooked at all. Curry came with basmati rice. We ordered 2 servings of Naan, 3 large pieces per serving, that was flaky and buttery and chewy. Recommend to eat here.

    Amazing food and great location! We enjoyed the butter chicken, tandoori shrimp, lamb curry, naan bread and fried paneer. All were delicious and we devoured it. Servers were very nice and attentive, the atmosphere was inviting and well designed. So good, we loved every minute of it!

We are big fans of traditional fare, but the Block is a place we are so glad we experienced and will certainly return utilizing the knowledge we garnered during our first experience. A big thank you to for helping us through picking one price fixe January exploration of your local restaurants and filling it with other ala carte additions. As we often do we ordered far too much food, wanting to explore everything off a menu that is far reaching. Not sure if our additions worked with the price fixe menu, but we sure enjoyed checking everything out. The interior is interesting with the addition of structural steel in the space to keep this heritage building (I think) standing tall for a few generations. We sure hope it's still here for a long while and will most likely come again the next time we are in Victoria. That is saying a lot as there are a wide range of restaurants in the neighbourhood, but you do want to check the Block out!

It's fun, different, and a welcome disruption to the usual Victoria vibe. Vibe: Wizard of Oz-themed gay bar with zero subtlety. Loud, campy, and a sharp contrast to the rest of Victoria's generally polite energy. Not really a place straight couples need to linger unless there's a show. Drinks: Strong and fast. These are drinks, not cocktails, and that's exactly right for the room. Entertainment: We caught a Taylor Swift-themed drag show. I'm very much not a Swift fan, my girlfriend is, and we both had a good time. The performers carried the night. What could be better: If there's no show, the appeal drops fast unless this is already your scene.

    This may be a gay bar by night, but there's nothing queer about the brunch menu here, folks!…read more My wife and I spotted this place the night before, when it was lit up in all manner of multichromatic madness, gleaming and glittering gaily, with pulse-pounding tunes pouring down the adjacent alleyway. The interior décor intrigued me, but as we had our toddler son with us, we couldn't enter during the "adult" hours, but we resolved to return in the morning for their legendary "best brunch in Victoria". Did it live up to its reputation? YAAAS QUEEN, SLAY those taste buds! My wife ordered the Homemade Maple Bacon, drizzled in mezcal cheese and accompanied by similarly glitzed-up scrambled eggs, roti flatbread, and a light salad with vinaigrette. After waffling back and forth over two dishes, I went with the ambiguously named "Tomatoes" which, as expected included tomatoes, of course, resting on a bed of a soft, moist cheese similar to queso fresco, dressed in chili crunch oil with peanuts and topped with spinach. It was wonderful, with my only regret being there wasn't enough of it. I had decided against the Steak and Eggs, as I'd wanted something lighter for breakfast, but in the end, what I'd ordered was a little too light for me. No matter; I helped the wife finish her meal as well, so everything worked out! I will say, though, that menus that lean in a little too far into brevity when it comes to the description of their entrées for the sake of being cute should probably rethink this strategy, and in all honesty, $16 CAD is a little steep for a dish this paltry in size, no matter how good it is. Alright, I've been enough of a basic bitch about nitpicky things, so let's put a bow on this review, slap its backside and send it on it's way! The "Lions, Tigers and Bears" cocktail was a frisky, refreshing take on my favorite, the Old Fashioned, and my pregnant wife's (virgin) Caesar may have been Bloody Mary-red, but it left me green with envy after a couple sips! I would be hard-pressed to choose between the view on our (inevitable) return visit to Victoria which, I hope, will be far sooner than later. For now, we'll be somewhere over the rainbow back home, waiting for a tornado to whisk us up and fling us back over the border. Vancouver may be the true Emerald City, but the yellow brick road leads directly to Friends of Dorothy in Victoria!

Great options for some terrific cocktails and they have such a cool vibe. Love the decor. My favorite are the frogs. The quality of both the food and the service was exceptional. The host was super friendly and lovely. We dined there on Friday evening and, despite not having a reservation, the host managed to get some bar seats by the chef's kitchen for two right away, which was truly appreciated! I appreciate that End Dive takes a family-style dining approach, which is great in my opinion as you get to try many of their savoury dishes. It is perfect for sharing. First, we ordered the brioche and morels and they were amazing. In addition, the spot prawns were delicious! Their in-house focaccia bread with cultured butter was truly appetizing, especially if you have some left-over sauce from the spot prawns dish. The sourdough spaghetti pasta (not pictured) was exquisite. The depth and flavours of every single dish we had was phenomenal! love that the menu keeps on changing and they're so creative! I highly recommend dining at End Dive. You won't be disappointed but thankful that you're in for such a treat. This might be my new favourite Canadian upscale eatery in Victoria!
