39 Best Indian Restaurants near Vancouver

“Happened to be in Vancouver at dinner time, this place is a block off tge larger road, but eas y to find and easy to get back on the highway. Nice staff and clean, pleasant dining room. First Indian cuisine in 40 years, and very tasty. We got veggie Somosa, naan, and goat vindaloo. Very good, meat super tender and spices in every thing well balanced. Recommend stopping by for dinner.“

“Ordered a to-go spicy Goat Biryani with plain naan, twenty minute wait was no issue for lunch and this absolutely met and exceeded my expectations. Truly delicious and a good level of spice, although I do wish they had an 'extra spicy' option! Portion is large enough for two meals, or shared between two.

Edit: Yesterday I ordered again and I see they now have a Extra Spicy option! This level of heat is perfect, a mix between thai chili and habanero spice and I found it absolutely delicious.“

“The food is fresh and delicious.“

“My husband and I had heard great things about this cart, so we came and got a ton of food to give it a try. We are so glad we did! The word of mouth is absolutely correct. The food was fresh, delicious, and perfectly spiced. Plus the portions are very generous. Our stand outs: chicken biryani, lamb curry, and veggie pakoras. The biryani may be one of the best I’ve had anywhere, we both had to throw away our spoons to stop eating it. The lamb is tender and the curry flavor is deep and rich and flavorful. The pakoras are more substantial than others I’ve had, but they had great flavor and I loved the coriander chutney they came with. This cart is a gem and I can’t wait to go back for more!“

“Are you sick of the same ol’ same ol’ pizza? Do you love Indian food? Well then this might just be your place. While they do offer the classics for those not looking for something new, for everyone else there is an amazing collection of Indian fusion pizzas. Of course they have a chicken tikka pizza, but that’s just the beginning. Just check out the menu and tell me you’re not compelled to give this place a try. We ordered the tandoori paneer pizza and the vegan Punjabi garlic breadsticks. And the verdict… Holy crap! Drop what you’re doing and get over here. Best breadsticks I’ve had in a very long time, if ever. Very bold flavors, chewy, delicious. And the pizza, while the flavors were more subtle, they were deliciously complex. I’m excited to return to explore the menu further. Do yourself a favor and get over here now.“

“Excellent food, comfortable atmosphere. We really enjoyed our dinner and the flavors were marvelous!“

“What a delicious and filling meal! I had all my favs: veg samosas, mango lassi, naan, kofta. My husband had the bombay wings. He was sorry we hadnt ordered more naan to soak up the tasty sauce. But we were also very full. Plus, the naan was excellent. The naan was the best part of a very good meal. It is definitely a hole in the wall location, which is fine by me. I dont want fancy: i want TASTY, and that is what we got. Looking forward to going back.“

“I kid you not, the food is delicious. The best I’ve ever had! I’m recommending it to everyone I know. My first impression was how clean it is. Second was the efficient and friendly service. Then the food came. I ended up ordering more food to bring some home to my guy, and he loved it too!“

“The best North Indian we have had in USA. Food was cooked to suit my high spice level tolerance and 0 spice level for my kids. We had the yummiest dal and butter chicken with garlic naan. Food was excellent but service was even better. My 4 year old wanted plain roti which was not even on the menu. But the owner is such a kind soul that he specially got flour kneaded for him and didn't even let us pay for it.“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Portland. Has great dairy free, vegetarian, and vegan options. You have to try their Tikka Masala. Great staff, great food, great drinks. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Chicken tikka masala was perfectly prepared. First time in as long as I can remember, where the chicken was not overcooked and instead... soooo very juicy and tender. Garlic naan... yum. Pakora was delicious“

“Delicious food!!! Thank you!“

“Remember folks, all the negative and over the top ago reviews within a few days of each other are hate brigades. They are bots and accounts that aren’t in Portland and have never experienced Desi Pdx. since no service was provided it should not be considered valid.“

“This is a casual restaurant that serves intermittently good Indian food. This is a less than 5-star review because of the inconsistency. The first time I went I had a tasty vegetable curry. A friend had a very good vegan lassi. The next time, I had a tandoori chicken kebab. The chicken was dried out, the vegetables were greasy, and the wheat naan was hard.
Perhaps they have more than one chef or this one was having a less than stellar night.
However, the staff are lovely, welcoming and attentive - and“

“Wow, amazing food. We were visiting portland from east coast and tried saag chicken + shrimp biryani from this place. The taste was top notch and spice level was really good as well according to our requirement. We wanted high spice that can satisfy desi tastebuds.“

“Had a lovely time here, came in on a Monday night with a few friends and the place was surprisingly empty. The food was amazing and we were served promptly. I really can’t recommend enough the quality of the food here, best Indian cuisine I’ve ever had.“

“Tikka Taco is amazing food. Indian food meets Mexican food. I work near and have eaten multiple times. Highly recommended.“

“〇Papdi Chaat($10)
〇Baingan Bharta ($17.5)

✨Review✨
This is an Indian restaurant with vegan options.🌱 It has a very fancy atmosphere and is such a lovely place.✨

For a starter, I had Papdi Chaat, and the flavors of beans and spices were amazing.😍 The Baingan Bharta felt like a richly spiced vegetable stew, and I enjoyed it with rice.🍚 The tomato flavor was bold and absolutely delicious.🍅🔥

The V mark does not mean the dish is originally vegan. It means it can be made vegan, so make sure to let them know!🌿☝️“

“I sample some chicken marsala two weeks ago a friend had. I placed a to go order while I was on my lunch. I sampled everything once I got back to work. IT WAS SOOOOO DELICIOUS AND EXTREMELY WELL SEASONED. The food was sooo good when I got home from work; I heated up more of it. DANG IT!!! Was just as good as the first bite. I was up at 2:22 am finishing off the rest. Justin was amazing and has the best food selection advice. Please visit. I swear you won't be disappointed. Signed Tenise“

“Best Indian food around, and the nicest owners!! Come support a local, authentic, family owned business! You won’t regret it- you’ll be coming back for more!!“

“Amazing find everything I needed!“

“I have to say I was compelled to find a place to leave this review. This place is excellent. The service was friendly and warm and expeditious. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the lamb vindaloo. Butter lamb. Paneer pakoras. Garlic naan. Shrimp vindaloo. And everything was absolutely delicious.“

“Wonderful food cart in Scappoose with many Indian-style curry options. Everything made fresh including the naan bread. (They also offer different spicy levels.) You get a lot of food for the price! Its great to have a local option in town and I come by at least once a week for it, ever since they opened last year. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating too with a full bar available at the Lodge.“

“Delicious food in a vibrant setting. Ordered Veg. Thali and it came with Veg.Biryani, Naan, Rice, appetizer, 2curries, sambar,rasam,yogurt and a dessert. perfect balanced meal for a weekday lunch.“

“authentic India food freshly prepared great staff worthy of the wait“

“Always a great experience !“

“We went to Bollywood Theater and had a great experience! We ordered the Pav Bhaji, Thali, and Paneer Kathi Roll, and really enjoyed majority of the items. The Kathi Roll was the standout—flavorful and filling—while the Pav Bhaji was tasty and comforting. The Thali offered a nice variety, though it felt more like a sampler than a traditional thali.

The ambience was vibrant with fun Bollywood vibes, and the presentation was nice. Prices were a bit on the higher side for the portion sizes, but overall the food was satisfying and worth trying.“

“I enjoyed the lamb Kathi roll, the spices were on point and the naan bread soft and delicious. However, I was pretty shocked that it came only in tin foil. I would’ve expected it to be wrapped in paper and then tinfoil to make it easier to eat, and also prevent accidentally eating a piece of tinfoil, which is incredibly toxic.“

“The atmosphere is still great, but the food is not. They prioritize speed over quality, and that is clearly reflected in the flavor and texture of the food, and in the appearance and demeanor of the staff. I ordered vegetable masala and was surprised to see it was made of frozen veggie mix: peas, corn, carrots, and lima beans! When I ordered tea, they brought me a dusty box of Stash tea bags, and a cup of hot water. It wasn't terrible, but it was dissapointing to see the lack of care and quality that I remember this place once had.“

“I stopped here to have some dumplings for lunch and I'm so glad I did. The dumplings were amazing. I also got two different sauces on the side, one mild and one hot, and both were great with the dumplings. I'm so glad I discovered one of the best dumpling spots in the area.“

“We came in to the restaurant and did not see anyone. It took several minutes for a grumpy old person to come out who didn't speak to us. So we stayed off a little shakey. HOWEVER, we had an extremely good waitress help us who was also very busy. You could tell she cared about her service. Major props to her! Lastly, 2 of the 3 of us agreed this was the best chicken Tikka Massala we have ever had in our lives. And we are old! Highly highly highly recommend coming to this restaurant.“

“Delightful little spot. I've never seen such a creative take on indian food.“

“First time trying and will order again. I got for takeout: Butter Chicken it comes with rice. Its very flavorful, savory buttery sweet but not overly sweet. I requested medium spice. I also ordered garlic naan which was deliciously garlicky and had herbs. I also got the tamarind chutney which I highly recommend, spicy tart and sweet. The green chutney was good too but if I had to choose I would get the tamarind chutney.“

“Large buffet of slightly below average and very salty yet mildly-spiced Indian food. I liked it because I like most Indian food, but I don't think I'll be back soon. But maybe you should try it if you wanna eat a lot for 20 bucks. My favorites were the veg dishes especially the eggplant, the lamb meatballs, the pakoras, and you can't go wrong with the mango ice cream machine!“

“Shocked to see so many negative reviews, honestly. My SO got lamb vindaloo and a mango lassi from this cart and thought it was an absolute banger of a meal. It looked great to me—really thick, rich sauce and lots of nice, juicy looking chunks of lamb with a healthy portion of fluffy rice. Great price and portion because he had some to take home for later, as he could not finish the whole thing! I watched him get his order taken and the guy at the counter seemed lovely.“

“We love Little Tibet! (Especially at our favorite St. Johns/Peninsula food cart pod!) The momos and curry are The Best (I could eat momos every day the rest of my life and be happy... perhaps even chubbier, but quite content.) Tashi and Lahkpa are genuinely beautiful people, which makes the food even better.“

“The food was very good and they have aor of vegetarian options, which is awesome. The wait was very long but the food was delicious. These carts don't have much ambiance but there are a lot of choices which is nice. I would recommend this cart if you are a vegetarian. I got the veggie coconut korma mild, it was awesome.“

“Love, love, LOVE Dhaba Indian Kitchen! We can't get enough!“

“Mannnn listen I'm from Brooklyn so that automatically makes me a foodie I'm also a trucker and I know where all the good food is all over this country and Canada so hear me when I say this Indian restaurant hands down is one of the best If not the best Indian food I've tasted. It's an Indian buffet The food is great and very affordable you will not go wrong eating here. The owner is a wonderful person polite and kind I saw him feed a homeless man who walked in off the street. Overall great place to eat.“
