50 Best Indian Restaurants in Vancouver

“We were over visiting our son and had a wonderful meal with great service and very reasonably priced“

“If Indian cuisine is your thing stop in at 6482 Victoria Drive Vancouver. Outstanding tastes and textures. A delightful family will prepare you food that you will leave you wanting to write a review. Their spiced "hot" dishes were outrageous last evening. My group is returning again tonight to enjoy some other dishes. The potions will fill you comfortably. You will leave well served, and thankful for your visit. The price point is so reasonable. If you are as fortunate as we were you will find a parking spot right in front of Nirvana!“

“During my visit to Hyderabadi Biryani House with four friends, we had a delightful dining experience that truly showcased the restaurant's expertise in traditional Indian cuisine. The garlic naan was a highlight, with its soft, fluffy texture and rich garlic flavor that perfectly complemented the meal. The veg dum biryani was equally impressive, offering a fragrant mix of spices and perfectly cooked rice that provided a satisfying, hearty dish. The veg curries were another standout, with their rich, aromatic gravies and fresh vegetables that delivered a burst of authentic flavors. The meal was a fantastic experience, with these dishes standing out as the stars of the evening.“

“Great food, the owner comes around to every table asking how everything was. His passion is cooking and the restaurant has been around for forty years. Nice interior, open and child friendly.“

“Wow if ever you wanted an east Indian sri Lankan style meal look no further. The Kottu roti, lamb biryani and egg prata were the best we've tasted and similar to the indian restaurants we frequent in Malaysia. The masala uttapam was so thick it seemed better as a standalone dish or filler for anyone still hungry after eating everything else. Delicious experience!“

“Great food, great service and a generally enjoyable ambience. Recommended.“

“Excellent Amritsari Kulcha. This is an excellent Indian restaurant. Also the staff are exceptional. Must try restaurant“

“Delicious , Mouthwatering food. Tandoori momos were outstanding. Very good Customer service. Definitely it would be mine pet restaurant. Must visit restaurant.“

“Tried a sizzler lamb dish and a tangy chicken dish. The spice is interesting and tasty! The naan is chewy and freshly baked. Price is affordable and yet the presentation/service is upscale. Also loved the decor and vibe of the restaurant. Very cozy. It’s a shame that it’s tucked behind subway construction. It’s truly a hidden gem.“

“They have the best food and service!!“

“In the mood for GREAT Indian food, look no further! My family and I originally visited this restaurant back in Sept. 2023 and loved the food & service. My husband & I had to stop back in while visiting from out of town for New Years because the food and hospitality is exceptional. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Vancouver!!! Thank you to the staff for the amazing food & great service!“

“Had a fantastic experience at Desi. Wonderful, friendly and attentive service. The starters of gobi and momos were just average however the mains of seafood curry, lamb bhuna, rice and garlic naan were fantastic. Such good flavours and good plentiful portions. Loved the decor as well, and it was cozy and a beautiful space. Would definitely recommend and will be back. I live a block away so it's a no brainer should we have an Indian food craving. Would definitely try some other items next time as a lot I would have love to have tried.“

“Absolutely delicious. Our favourite easy Indian food in Vancouver“

“Amazing food! Best naan I have ever had! Staff were super friendly! Definitely want to come here again!“

“Fast delivery & Alhamdulillah delicious food ❤️❤️ ........satisfied...........“

“Amazing food 😋 and amazing staffs😊“

“We sat and our waiter brought dishes. An excellent experience. A tad loud as there are lots of tables in a small space. Cocktails listed were numerous - ok on the taste. Overall, recommend!“

“Really great place, wonderful food and variety of options! Khushi was super lovely! Super recommended! 💖🍔“

“We have many great spots for Indian in Vancouver, but Delhi 6 is my favourite! Consistently delicious food - no matter what you order (it's hard to choose favourites when everything is so good but if I have to pick one, it might be the Muglai Chicken Korma), top notch service that's attentive, personable and friendly, and set in a lovely room.“

“Whenever I eat out, I factor in several variables if I decide to take the time to write a review. Usually, my reviews are after really good or really bad experiences. One of the things that truly makes a huge impact is value…how much I pay and the quality of food has its own little algorithm that dictates whether or not I choose to eat somewhere again in the future. Well, this place is off the charts…they really know how to do Indian cuisine! The prices were better than I expected and I left with a smile on my face. It was delicious! Great service, clean and although the ambiance may be lacking, the food and price more than makes up for it! Just go and be happy! 😃“

“The first thing we noticed was the cozy decor. We loved the eclectic hanging plants and the walls that were purposefully half done with inlaid wood on upper part of the walls. Perfect lighting, intimate but still light enough to read the menu. Our server, Raj, was lovely, so kind and helpful. The food was delicious, a symphony of flavours. We did the dine out. After the yummy appetizers, we tried all three, they gave us a blend of pineapple and coconut sorbets to cleanse our palette. The mains were great too. My only complaint was that my lamb biryani could have been way more spicy. So if you like spicy make that clear. Rose chai was served with our desserts which were delicious. Looking forward to going back to sample their street food dishes.“

“The customer service at this restaurant is absolutely amazing! The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and their professionalism really stood out. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality these days — we’ll definitely be coming back!“

“We have been to this restaurant on multiple occasions and we always leave happy. This time, we had a party of 8 and didn't have any issue finding a table. Our order was taken and in no time we were enjoying pakoras, samosas, and our main courses. Stand outs, their Chicken Biryani and Butter Chicken. One nice touch, the restaurant treated us to complimentary appetizer samosas and later, dessert. Everyone left happy and satisfied. If you are in the Kitsilano/Point Grey areas, and you are craving Indian cuisine, come.and check this restaurant out. Their prices are quite reasonable, and the staff friendly and efficient.“

“This little gem opened up down our street and we were hooked the first time we came here. Great value for money and really amazing food. I recommended it to my travelling wine Wednesday crew and they now make it a regular stop they love the food so much! Worth checking out, especially if you go for lunch. (their lunch Thali is enough for more than just one meal, I always have leftovers)“

“Great food, nice people. It's a tiny place, so usually am just getting take out.“

“Really great place, wonderful food and variety of options! Khushi was super lovely! Super recommended! 💖🍔“

“Staffs are friendly and accommodating. The place is clean and food is great❤️“

“Been frequenting this pizza joint since it was Papa Dave's. A different Papa name but still great Butter Chicken. Second best Butter Chicken in all of this land other than La Tandoori who is no longer with us, so by default they are the Champs.
All of their pizzas are pretty decent too so you can't go wrong. Just the right amount of greasiness to not be a dry pizza and have that juiciness a pizza requires for the palette. I swear everytime I place an order for my usual, the price has gone up a couple of bucks. Pizzaflation is in full effect but still worth going. I ain't tapping out yet.“

“Great Food and intimate interiors“

“Good food and timely service. Deluckshan is a very good server with a bright personality. Always provides timely updates on food and serves with a great attitude with a smile. Please visit the restaurant at Kingsway Location and Deluckshan will always be the good presenter for his work.“

“Our family’s favorite curry restaurant, authentic, rich flavors, there are a lot of herbs inside which we love it so much. Meals come with rice and naan bread, the portion is perfect for one person. If you want authentic curry, this is the place.“

“Delicious Indian food! Great service!“

“Staffs are friendly and accommodating. The place is clean and food is great❤️“

“This is the authentic Kathi roll that you’ve had in India. Ignore every other place and come here.

Add the egg. You won’t regret it

I waited 25 minutes for my food but it was as authentic as it gets.“

“The food here was absolutely delicious — full of authentic flavor and perfectly prepared. The service was outstanding, especially from Narotam, who was professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Excellent portion sizes and great prices for the quality you get. The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and inviting.

Will definitely be coming back again soon and highly recommend DS Indian Kitchen to anyone looking for great Indian food and service! 👏🍛“

“The food was really great I order chicken beryani and and chicken roti the price is very affordable reasonable, the taste , texture and volume or amount per servings is a lot and good enough for 2 person per servings and my food was served to me hot and freshly cooked by the owner him self and all my order are amazing and delicious…. I high recommended this restaurant for you to try it for your self. 👍“

“best prantha I ever had so far in surrey.food is litterly awesome. must give a try to their prantha.“

“This place is an absolute gem. I went on a Thursday and got the curry fish on rice with potatoes/peas and kidney beans. You get two veg curries along with one meat option is how it works. You can get a half order or a full order. I got a full order. The fish is only available on Thursdays. I knew it was Salmon once I tasted it and the kind gentleman who took my order told me it's in fact wild pink salmon. Tasted amazing. The order also comes with a pappaddum. Nice touch. Priced very fair for what you get. Excellent salt and spice levels. It's like a home cooked meal. Will be back.“

“One of the best momo that I have taken after reaching here from Bhutan.“

“I ordered off the too good to go app so I don’t truly know what I got I think it was a chickpea curry and a coconut chicken curry with 2 containers of rice

I grew up in Surrey and have had a lot of Indian food over the years. Even though it was cold as the app is to prevent food waste; it was the best tasting Indian curries I’ve ever had. Even the rice was good cold and I’ve never enjoyed cold rice before. It ghee or some sort of light oil in it that didn’t flavour the rice, it was enhances the natural flavours of the long grain basmati. The chickpea curry and one container of rice didn’t even last long enough to get reheated it was that good.“

“I have Eaten at the Denman three times over the last two years. Every meal was perfectly prepared and delicious. The service is top notch, professional, and friendly. This is a family owned and operated business. I would highly recommend this restaurant for excellent food every time.“

“Finally found Indian food of similar quality to that found in the UK. The lamb and spinach is excellent, higly recommended. The butter chicken is good, but more similar to Tikka Massala as we know it. I will try the korma next time, will probably be more authentic.“

“I’ve known the MS Tiffin family long before they entered the food scene, and one thing they’ve always been known for is their love of great-tasting, high-quality food.

When they opened their restaurant almost a year ago, I finally got to experience their street-style Indian dishes as a customer - and wow, what a treat! Their award-winning chefs really know how to pack a punch. Even my colleagues are hooked on their samosas and cheesecake!

Recently, after my mom’s surgery, we signed up for their tiffin service several times a week. It’s truly been a lifesaver. Delicious, home-style Indian meals delivered right on time, every time. The food is consistently fresh, flavourful, and comforting. Incredible value and unmatched convenience. MS Tiffin truly delivers on all fronts!“

“An absolute hidden gem in Vancouver! I usually pick up my dinner from here, and the food always feels incredibly good and homely, comfort food at its best. There is usually just one lady working the evenings, and she is amazing; hard-working and very kind. The portions are fulfilling and the prices are very affordable. No complaints at all, just great food and service.“

“Halal restaurant... Easy free parking even it's in kingsway.. food was delicious. Good items for buffet. Dosa was yummy. Friendly staffs.. will visit again n again sure.“

“Delicious dishes in a very comfortable setting. Really pleasant servers who smile and make you feel comfortable. Overall the dishes were exceptional; I love the lamb curry and the vegetable thali. The butter chicken melts in your mouth. Try the happy hour lunch menu if you are by yourself. You get a tray of lamb, chicken or vegetable curry along with rice, naan, potato curry and crispy pakora. The main menu is all worth trying and sharing with friends. A very special place!“

“Great Lunch Specials. Service is friendly and laid back. NHL playoffs on good size TV’s. Wine and beer selection at reasonable prices.Highly Recommend. Outdoor seating with views of English Bay.“
