50 Best Indian Restaurants in Vancouver

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

“I have celiac disease and follow a gluten‑free diet, so I always have to be careful about cross‑contamination. Before visiting any restaurant, I call ahead to make sure they understand what celiac disease means. I spoke with Raviji, owner of Niravva Indian Resturant, on Victoria Drive, and he assured me the food would be safe for me. Because of cross‑contamination, my wife and I usually avoid Indian restaurants. But last Sunday, we went to Nirvana India Restaurant and we had such a wonderful experience. Opiji came to our table and explained that they prepare all their masalas in‑house and that everything would be safe for me. They even make gluten‑free roti from scratch. It was the first time I ever had a gluten‑free roti in a restaurant. The food was delicious, and the staff were warm and attentive. We also spoke with Opiji, who even shared a simple tip for making gluten‑free roti at home. For the first time, we felt we had found a safe Indian restaurant for us.“

“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.“

“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!“

“JJ Dosa is a solid spot if you’re craving a comforting South Indian meal. The dosa was crispy, fresh, and really satisfying, especially with the chutneys and sambar on the side. It had that simple, homemade kind of feel that makes the food easy to enjoy.

The service was friendly, the portions were good, and the whole experience felt relaxed and casual. Definitely a nice place to come back to when you want something flavourful, filling, and different from the usual restaurant options.“

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

“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! 😃“

Loved the Butter Chicken wrap, and it’s honestly one of my fav quick meals. So much flavor, super satisfying and amazing value! Definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

And to the kind gentleman Narotam who always takes my order: thank you for remembering my usual order and being so welcoming.

10/10 recommend :))“

“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.“

“The decoration is 5 stars the food is ok they have afew options not much.i was there for iftra with my family once the food finished then its done and you have to wait for at least 30 mins till the refill it . We didn’t get chance to try the dessert because there is a small portion like 10 small serving of fermi once it finished they didn’t replace so you have to be careful with dessert. Unless if you want to pay extra for bakery and buy to eat with your tea . Also it was Ramadan every thing is limited ,tea, manto, rice over all for afghans buffet is not bad . It’s was much better if they cook enough and have afew servers“

“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.“

“Great Food and intimate interiors“

“Delicious Indian food! Great service!“

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

“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!“

“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. 👍“

“Ive been going for like..... 15+ years, I have seen locations come and go (used to live directly across from the fire hall location and went literally daily lol) - i crave this masala all the time and I dirve out from coquitlam regularly to get it still. I would kill for them to open a franchise in coquitlam center lol“

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

“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.“

“We went for dinner and had an excellent experience. We tried the butter chicken, chicken biryani, and chicken tikka masala, and every dish was absolutely delicious—full of flavor and perfectly prepared.

On top of that, the service was outstanding. The girl (Jasleen )who served us was very kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal.

Definitely a place we would come back to. Highly recommended!“

“GREAT FOOD, GREAT PLACE, GREAT PEOPLE. 5 🌟“

“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.“

“There’s very limited seating inside, but they do have a small patio. I was craving some good Indian curry, and this place really satisfied that craving. The prices are very reasonable, and the portions are generous. I’d definitely visit again“

“Very good food nice atmosphere nice christmas decoration for Christmas and New Year Party. fabulous place awesome food we had Christmas party it was fantastic.“

“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.“
