So, I ordered their Butter Chicken (GF) expecting the reviews that raved about it being the "best butter chicken" to be nothing but hype... I've tried a lot of butter chicken in a lot of restaurants, but this is HANDS-DOWN the best I've tried. I would definitely order it again. My only "complaint" is that they seem a bit timid with the spice level. Being as it was my first order from this restaurant, I went with "medium" because I wasn't sure of their spice scale... their "medium" doesn't even qualify as mild for me... I'll know better for next time.
The portion of Steam Rice (V) (GF) is WAY too big, unless you're feeding two or more people. It would be nice if there was a smaller one-person portion available, like 1/3 the size or less.
The Garlic Butter Naan was excellent!
The "Mango Cheese Cake " was the only disappointment. This is NOT a mango cheesecake... it's a berry cheesecake that happens to have a bit of mango drizzle on the top, the flavour of which is drowned out by the berries in the cheesecake. Save your money and skip the dessert.

We have been using this restaurant for some time now, we have tried many different Indian restaurants throughout Vancouver, and this is by far the best.
We both love extra hot and spicy and the lamb vindaloo is probably the best I've ever had.
Usually we eat in , however just recently we have ordered delivery, and it's always quick, and just as good as in the restaurant.. 10/10

i got the Chicken Tikka Masala (GF) and it was the worst tikka masala i have ever had... for 23 bucks there was barely any chicken init and the vegetables were chunky and not cooked enough.
also the mango Lasi was super tiny... not worth 8$ 😒

Butter Chicken (GF)is fantastic. The spice level varies each time we order so sometimes hot is spicy and others it's more of a medium. Extra hot varies from medium hot to actual extra hot. It's always delicious but definitely better sometimes.
Steamed rice is a necessary order and a great portion. We usually order one rice per entree but also eat the sauce.
Garlic butter naan is buttery and delicious!
Sometimes the food arrives hot and fresh while others we end up needing to microwave (we are maybe 10 minutes from the restaurant).
We will definitely order from here again soon (and have ordered multiple times before).

Delicious! Easily the best Butter Chicken (GF) I have ever had, the sauce is so thick and flavorful but not too rich. The Garlic Butter Naan is so chewy and flavourful.
Calamari can be very hit or miss but this is perfectly cooked, the coating is crispy, and it tastes delicious.
First time ordering from here and I will be a repeat customer. Seriously, the best Butter Chicken (GF) I have had, ever.
