“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.“

“They have the best food and service!!“

“Possibly my favourite South Indian restaurant in Vancouver! We’ve dined here multiple times now and the food and the service has been excellent.

“Walked into Akbar’s Own Restaurant for the first time, and wow — I had no idea it was this beautiful inside! From the outside, I always just saw the white board due to the construction, so I never expected such a stunning space behind it. The interior is built so nicely — pure exotic vibes, super clean, and it smells amazing the moment you walk in. The ambience is cozy yet elegant, perfect for a relaxed meal.

I tried their Chana Bhatura and honestly… hands down the best I’ve had in Vancouver. Perfectly spiced, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend this place if you’re craving authentic flavors and a beautiful dining experience. Definitely a new favorite! 👏🍽️✨“

(their lunch Thali is enough for more than just one meal, I always have leftovers)“

The flavors were comforting and satisfying, and I’ll definitely be back for more.“

“Discovered this spot two weeks ago and have already been back three times. The curries simply can’t be beat for the price, and the taste is “homestyle” in the best way. It’s unpretentious, affordable, and the portions are huge—perfect for quick and easy takeout on a weeknight, with leftovers for lunch.

Really appreciate having this in the neighbourhood!“

Vegetarian options: Great for vegetarians. Lots of interesting options and flavours to try.“

“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! 😃“

“Delicious food and excellent service!“

“Every time I come here, I have to get the Beef Nihari. The spices and tender beef make it absolutely delicious.“

“Excellent South Indian food - a truly unique experience that made me travel. Highly recommend their dossa and lunch special. Very good price aligned with quality and quantity. Family staffed always friendly and very generous! Simply enjoy the taste of india.“

“I’ve ordered the Lamb Kothu a few times but today’s portion/quantity looks low compared to other days. On a positive note, the flavor and taste is good. The counter girl (the shorter one) has a bit of attitude which is not a good representation of caring customer service.“

“I recently visited Original Tandoori Kitchen and ordered aloo paratha and Indian tea (chai). Overall, my experience was great!

The aloo paratha was flavorful, stuffed generously with spiced potatoes, and had the perfect balance of crispiness and softness. It was served hot and paired well with the yogurt and pickles on the side. The flavors were authentic, reminding me of traditional homemade parathas.

The Indian tea was another highlight. It had a rich, aromatic taste with the right amount of spice and sweetness. It was well-brewed and comforting, making it the perfect companion to the meal.

The service was warm and friendly, and the ambiance was casual yet inviting. Whether you’re craving a hearty Indian breakfast or a comforting meal, this place is definitely worth visiting.“

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

“Such great food! The servers are second to none and the live entertainment on Saturday was amazing! 10/10 would do it again!“

“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!“

“Such great food! The servers are second to none and the live entertainment on Saturday was amazing! 10/10 would do it again!“

“They should be more presentable snd should serve more quantity. Tomato chutney was good but more strong flavors should be added in coconut chutney nd sambhar“

“Outstanding food and truly exceptional service. I had a wonderful experience at rollzzy on Robson. The quality of the chicken rolls was top-notch—fresh, flavourful , and clearly made with care. Highly recommend the butter chicken, chicken tikka and galouti kebab!

But what really stood out was the customer service. There was a small miscommunication between what I ordered and what was made, and even though I told them it wasn’t a big deal and that I didn’t need anything else, they went above and beyond to make the additional food anyway.

That kind of integrity and generosity is rare, and it absolutely deserves recognition. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending them to everyone I know!“

“Best Indian food I ever had always I come eat here lunch or dinner. I love this. Food is not very popular place but is very popular with the cooking. She cook really really good. I’m very delicious. I love to come here. Highly recommended.“

“I often visit this place as a friend who used to study in the downtown area swears by this place. Love it. It's actually a bit far from me but my friend and I still visit from time to time to have their food.If you can handle the heat, the Chili Chicken is a must-have. If you don't want anything as spicy, their shawarma, bamboo chicken and lentils are still pretty good.“

“We dined indoors at Handi Grill, our first time eating at a restaurant since the dine in restrictions were lifted. Ram, our server, made great suggestions! The chicken coconut curry was made exactly how I like it, very mild yet flavourful. The lamb rogan josh was very tender and perfectly spiced. The naan portion was huge! Ram was so friendly and funny! We will be back for patio season!“
