This place is my favourite place to get chai, smoothies and their tasty food they offer. Being near vgh hospital it sure beats the food around this area. Love this place. Highly recommend it.

Hands-down, the best dal curry I’ve ever had—rich, comforting, and perfectly spiced. Purple Grain is a hidden gem with a warm, welcoming vibe. The owner was incredibly kind and made the experience even better. In addition to the outstanding dal, they offer a salad bar, other soup options, a variety of fresh juices and nourishing, healthy options that make you feel good from the inside out. Whether you’re visiting the hospital or just looking for a wholesome, flavorful meal, Purple Grain is well worth a stop.

While staying at Vancouver General Hospital I found the Purple Grain! They have a great selection of healthy food, many choices. The freshest salad bar I have ever seen. We had a delicious Paneer Wrap and An authentic Chai. The staff were courteous, friendly and polite. I highly recommend Purple Grain. I’ll be back:)

Their pho is a nice little snack. Good mix of veggies. Only 4 little pieces of beef for 16 bucks. My advice: add some beef and raise the price.

This is a great little cafe with a build-your-own breakfast bar and hotpot station. If you're looking for a place to grab something quick, this is your place.
Both my sister and I visited and purchased food several times at the Purple Grain. My Father was at VGH. I'm a vegan and my sister an omnivore. This is some of the healthiest and most delicious food I've had in a while. It was a lovely surprise to find this gem and I would highly recommend it. Also Ami and Francesco are the most wonderful hosts. An awesome place with lovely people. If everyone ate like this, in the long run......I bet you could eventually cut the hospital patient load dramatically.

The food is amazing! It's great to taste fresh food. You can taste the difference with every bite. Second time here and both times there have been very unique meals with a twist. Love this place.

Got the beef pho and potato and chicken soup
Small portions on the pho, but very delicious and has rich flavour
