50 Best Indian Restaurants in Vancouver

“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!“

“The indo chinese food is to die for..! Really tasty

Review 2: Came here for the second time. Enjoyed the desi indian food this time. Loved everything. Delhi wala butter chicken was delicious. Mouni is a great server and served really well.“

“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!“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“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! 👏🍽️✨“

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

“Loved my visit to Indian Delicacy on Burrard! The food was amazing, especially the chicken lollipop crispy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. A special thanks to our server Neha, who was super friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing food 😋 and amazing staffs😊“

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

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

“I live in the neighbourhood. I’m not sure why this place is often empty. I’ve been here a few times for dine-in and a few times for take-out. The food is consistently delicious and at great prices. We’ve had lamb korma, butter chicken, and chili fish so far. 🙌🏽 The servers are friendly. The place is very clean and looks cool too, like 90s space-age aesthetics.

Ps. The garlic naan is made fresh and perfectly cooked and so damn good.“

“The food is absolutely amazing! The service was fantastic, they gave us a complementary appetizer as well as a complementary dessert as well. They also did their best to re-create one of our favourite dishes we’ve had elsewhere and did a very good job. Very impressed with the service and quality would recommend to all!“

“The staff including the manager were all super helpful in trying to fit in my 2 extra guests + baby. Always great food and amazing service! Special thanks to Rubby for hosting us for the night and making sure our table had everything we needed. 5 star service“

“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! 😃“

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

“The owner was very nice and helpful, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.
Shahi paneer was creamy, rich, and perfectly spiced, and the roti was soft and fresh. Overall, a satisfying and flavorful meal worth recommending.“

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

“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)“

“From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and professional throughout the entire meal. Every dish we ordered was beautifully presented and full of flavor — clearly made with high-quality ingredients and attention to detail.

The ambiance struck the perfect balance between cozy and elegant, making it ideal for both casual outings and special occasions. Our food arrived in good time, and the portion sizes were just right.

This place easily stands out as one of the best dine-in experiences I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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“

“Recently was invited to this restaurant. It was phenomenal. I was impressed by the Butter chicken pasta. The paneer bites were delicious. Crispy and soft in the inside. Had Galub Jamun. It was so very good. I recommended this place to my friends and coworkers who are vegetarian. They have delicious food for everyone.“

“Delicious Indian food! Great service!“

“I ordered the butter chicken roti, lamb saag roti, and pakoras for dinner, and the food was absolutely delicious! What I love most is how convenient and mess-free it is, making it perfect for taking to the beach and enjoying without any hassle. The flavors were comforting and satisfying, and I’ll definitely be back for more.“

“Had such a great time at Sula Restaurant last night! The food was absolutely delicious — everything we ordered was spot on. Our server Sahil was super friendly and took great care of us. Also awesome to see my friend Swapnil working there — he always brings such great vibes! The atmosphere was cozy and the service was top-notch. Can’t wait to go back again soon!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“amazing food especially ghee roast kaju biryani and the presence, nature of treating customers is too good. I recommend dhamaka to all with there loved onces.“

“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.“

“I had a great experience with this catering service. The Indian food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The butter chicken was creamy and rich, the biryani was aromatic, and both the saag paneer and lamb dishes were delicious. Everything was delivered on time, and the presentation was neat. Definitely recommend them for any event or gathering!“

“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!“

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

“Wow this place is amazing. Imagine spending only 6$ and getting food that will fill you up along with bust of different flavors. This place is very good. I got samosa and chickpeas plate and it was very yummy 😋 and they packed it in aluminum container which is impressive“

“Such a lovely place ..

Absolutely fantastic little jam place . If you in are in area give them
Business.

“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!“

“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 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.“

“Détour sympathique avant l'aéroport. Super découverte. Personnel chaleureux et attentionné. Bonnes recommandations des spécialités maison. Mets de qualité. Ne pas manquer le dessert 'Rasmalai' ... Se réserver un peu de place :) Merci à la famille Agra ... On va y revenir!“

“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.“
