A great new addition to Hastings. I wasn’t sure what a French inspired Indian restaurant would entail but we had a wonderful dinner!
Highly recommend trying a cocktail, each one at our table was delicious. We started with a beet appetizer, stuffed naan and the duck Kulcha. All fabulous!
Our waiter was great, attentive and had lots of good recommendations without being pushy. Definitely worth a visit and I’m excited to try more dishes when we go back!

Hi . I went to Peya last night . I ordered fish ala saag . It was such a lovely dish . The saag was so fine and had such a smooth texture .the coulis sauce tasted like a perfect Indian coulis sauce . Other dishes like fig goat cheese samosa , steak and other things are cooked to perfection . I recommend thus place to everyone. A modern way to enjoy ethnic Indian inspired fusion French restaurant.

We stepped in on the fly for snacks and drinks. Beautiful space. The duck kulcha was delicious. But it’s just craaaaazy to not have any hot drinks. It’s Canada, it’s cold out here. Our table was a-shiver. Show me your indian-french take on chai and indian coffee please… make it a fancy pour, overcharge it if you need to, add rose crystals and cardamom sparkles and rum, but please don’t leave us hanging like that.

Amazing unique experience! Excellent cocktails amongst the very best. You can see, feel and taste the French-Indian fusion. Dishes are only very mildly spiced unlike the usual south Asian cuisine. Many vegetarian options in the menu. The decor is so tasteful and nostalgic. A very pleasant space to spend time. Server was very attentive and professional. Western setting and service with South Asian fusion food. Well done! 👍🏾

Great service (I'd describe as attentive but relaxed) and inventive dishes. You'll find that fundamental components are well executed (the roti is the best roti I've had - high quality flour, crisp lacy edges, chewy overall) but there is also a lot of creativity in the Indian-French fusion employed. Big fan of the carrot tart in particular - wonderfully spiced and balanced with a slightly tart white chocolate cream on the side.

This review is long over due, but we truly cannot say enough good things are Peya and Chef Ashwani. Our experience here in September has still be top of mind. Every single dish was phenomenal which isn't common in today's dining scene. Peya provides the perfect mix of elevated & approachable. If we lived in Vancouver this would be a frequent spot for us to pop in for a drink and snack or book in special occasions. The Elk Tartare and Rabbit Kebabs are a must try! Thanks for your amazing hospitality Chef!

Went here during Valentine’s Day and we liked that they didn’t offer a valentines set menu! Our server was amazing and funny and we wish we got his name.
The samosa was definitely a hit and our favourite dish. The atmosphere and vibe was perfect and we had an amazing time. The elephant drink was also very good.

Great food and cocktails! Atmosphere needs some work!
I visited pretty close to opening day so I’m giving some grace but the atmosphere was just a bit of a miss for me!
I felt like it was too bright and the music kept skipping and fully stopped for a couple minutes at one point. It was awkward!
I’ve heard that they’ve since fixed the vibes and I’m excited to go back!! My friend was a bit spooked by the rabbit dish so I didn’t get to try - this is still on my list!
Amazing food amazing service. Went for my wife's birthday and wil definetly go back. Elk tartar was fantastic! Also whoever did the interior design knocked it out of the park!

Loved this vday dinner with my boyfie. Standouts were fig cheese samosa, tandoori broccoli, Cornish hen (yum and creative) , and the peppercorn steak. And the garlic naan was so garlicky I am a fan. All these dishes were complex and tasted great!!!
Don’t bother with the spinach cheese naan starter it’s bland and tiny, and the chai crème brûlée tasted good but the custard was melted/ runny underneath the sugar.
Cocktails were also good! Overall great service and most items we tried were delicious. Thank you to my boyfie for the recommendation 🫰

Absolutely loved my experience at Peya! We went for Valentine’s Day and everything—from the food to the service—was incredible. The cuisine is a truly unique Indian and French fusion that you don’t find anywhere else. Our waiter was exceptionally friendly and took the time to explain each dish as it arrived, which made the experience feel thoughtful and special. Their recommendations were spot on, and every plate was delicious. The atmosphere was warm and romantic, perfect for a special occasion. One-of-a-kind fusion, amazing vibes, and fantastic service—highly recommend!

My 16 year-old daughter and I found Peya via OpenTable and were intrigued by the Indian-French fusion menu. It did not disappoint. We loved absolutely everything we ordered. The ambiance is warm and inviting. The servers, staff, and owner were so nice. We enjoyed talking with Chris at the bar. Be sure to go to Peya, and, if you live in Vancouver, make it a regular spot.
