I definitely won't come back to this restaurant and will not recommend this place for eat. The price is extremely expensive, no flavor on the food, service is terrible. There are many nice restaurants in this town but not this one.

I had a bad experience today.

Being a student i had tipped less amount and the old lady after billing insulted me in-front of their employee telling “ what the amount is for? Its a burden for us”

After listening to this words i felt insulted and moved out.

From now i suggest all my friends and family members not to visit this restaurant anymore.

Hands down the best butter chicken in town, it’s my friend and I’s go to. The garlic naan is large and absolutely TO DIE FOR. We always takeout but if you do fine-in they have quite an intimate, dimmed lighting setting, probably good for a date.

Prices are super reasonable, great portions, and incredible food!

I’ve been ordering from this restaurant for years. The food is excellent! However, tonight, I ordered, and when I got home, the containers were about 2/3’s full instead of being full to the top. I called to tell them, and the lady I talked to said she’d talk to the kitchen and that it wouldn’t happen again, which is great, except it doesn’t solve this problem now. If I pay for something, I expect to receive what I paid for every time.

It would be great if I felt like they cared.

We usually buy the pakoras from Costco but recently they are very doughy. Too bad they used to be much better

Delicious! Your missing out if you haven’t tried this place

You can't get better Indian food in Nanaimo. The food is fresh, prepared when you order, and served hot. You can also order three different levels of spice hotness. Service is prompt without being over - bearing. The lavish decor on the inside is not predicted by the plain exterior. Highly recommended for couples or large groups. Do not expect fast-food speed from when you order until the time your meal is served.****Update January 2024We won’t eat there anymore, or get take out, because their prices have sky/rocketed and they must have a new cook who is much less talented.

If theres anywhere as authentic, flavourful and delicious that you need to try its these guys. The food has always been prepared professionally without exception, the emphasis is on consistent, quality and perfection. The business has stood the test of time and I am grateful that they haven't conformed to the fast paced compromised charlatans of today.

I honestly liked their food, but found an actual steel wire IN MY FOOD. I had it in my mouth and spit it out to discover metal wire...I took it to the restaurant and showed them the metal and they were skeptical. After much deliberation they sort of agreed that could/may have happened. However, they offered me nothing..no refund, no replacement food, no apology. Terrible shame cuz I would have come back too.
