We arrived for a late dinner 30 minutes before closing. Service was friendly and we never felt rushed during our meal. The booth was comfortable, but it seemed a bit dim inside the restaurant. We ordered: goat curry, lamb biryani and butter naan. My fave was the goat curry, it was so flavourful and the goat was perfectly cooked. The spice level was a bit low, but overall I enjoyed everything. We packed our leftovers and it came with a nice note from the Agra family. I always like supporting small family businesses. read more

Agra Tandoori Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

I came here for dinner with a friend because I was craving Indian food, and it did not disappoint. They offer a great deal for two at $55, which includes one appetizer, two entrées (with your choice of rice or naan), and a dessert, excellent value for the amount and quality of food. We ordered the shrimp pakora, mixed meat tandoori platter, butter chicken, and rice. We also added a side of garlic naan. For dessert, we chose the kulfi, which was a $2 upgrade. Everything was flavorful, well-prepared, and served in generous portions. The food was fantastic, and the service was top-notch--friendly, attentive, and efficient. I'd definitely come back again. read more

I didn't like the lamb I assumed it was skewers cuz the prawn one said kabob? But it came on a hot plate (which honestly was fine cuz the seasoning stains a bit so not having to remove them off the skewers is a plus) but the lamb was apparently sausage. So not what I was looking for and I wasn't too fond of whatever was mixed in to make the sausages. The texture is not that of regular sausage meat. Granted most things here are vegetarian the fact they had lamb was great. It tasted good just not my thing. So give it a try I liked the mint chutney (had to ask them what it was that was served with it) And some sort of mango drink (I'm sure it's not just mango. It was thick like yogurt but solid mango taste. Really good. And good with the spicy prawns. The young new server was probably the most polite girl I've ever met. Tipped her personally. Seating is you pick. They have chairs, or half or full booths. And there's apparently a buffet option if you just wanna try things out. Parking is available. And wasn't too busy at 11:30 am read more

Lovely staff at Agra Tandoori (Canada way)! Over the years, I've gotten take out, dined in, had delivery, had takeout to the hospital... Delicious butter chicken, chicken korma, samosas and biryanis, always enjoyed with butter / plain / garlic naan. Recommended and will continue to visit, great neighbourhood spot. read more

This is one of my family's favourite Indian restaurants to go to for dine in or takeout. The staff are very nice and they are often busy so I recommend making reservations if you were going to go visit them with the group. The portions are well sized and well priced. They often have lunch specials as well but you will have to inquire within for those as I believe they change. Our favourites to order are: eggplant bhartha (perfect over rice and for dipping naan into), fish pakora, aloo gobhi (seasoned cauliflower & potatoes) and their lamb biryani (tender pieces of lamb and delicious rice). Usually we order medium spice for our curries but you could easily ask for mild and still be satisfied. Their butter chicken is delicious! We also enjoy ordering their mango lassi and chai. there is limited parking in the shared complex so just keep that in mind as well. read more

We were planning to eat somewhere else for lunch but they were unexpectedly closed for a vacation. We decided to check out Agra Tandoori Restaurant, which is in a plaza that houses a few businesses and Argo Greek Cuisine Pizza & Pasta. We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around 12:30pm) and grabbed a booth in the back. The inside is simple, almost bare bones, but the service is kind and they came back several times to refill our waters. Menu is standard but they offer four lunch specials ($10.00 to $13.95). They also ask how spicy you want your meal; we went with medium but I didn't find there was much heat. - Masala chai ($3.25) - flavours were mute and weak. Have yet to find a masala chai that we like. - Vegetable pakora ($10.95) - not too greasy and decent texture. Serviceable. - 2x Non-veg lunch special ($13.95) - we opted for the goat curry (while J went with the butter chicken). The goat curry was flavourful but consisted more of bones than meat. The tandoori chicken was an unexpected (but enjoyable) addition. Both the chickpea and daal were solid. Naan was a great portion. Lastly, the gulab jamun was a delightful bite to end our meal. - Veggie lunch special ($12.95) - only difference is that the veggie thali came with paneer makhani. The paneer was a bit bland when you ate it on it's own but the slightly sweet, creamy sauce was good. Nothing's calling me to come running back to AT but it was a decent lunch. 3.5 stars. read more

Lunch buffet is affordable and pretty decent but nothing special, acceptable taste and variety is minimal. They don't serve fresh naan with their buffet unlike the majority of indian buffets so that's a bummer. read more

Welcoming service" and "handwritten notes" is not a true reflection on their level of customer service. Very poor customer service after spending over $200 inside this restaurant.We ordered a seperate take out order and were encouraged to order at end of the meal and order not 4 but 6 samosas. The order was placed for take out and on arrival at home we were dismayed to find they had not included the samosas in our take out order. Upon calling and speaking to staff we were put on hold numerous times and the level of understanding and customer service was poor and below par. No refund was given, no solution was come too, except to drive over 40 mins back to restaurant to resolve. The quality of food was mediocre and level of service just left a bad taste in your mouth. Would recommend Saffron Indian Cuisine over this place of business. read more

Chicken Akni chicken meat was so hard could not even chew it very sad. They use old white meat and not chicken meat with bone.

A soon to expire GroupOn and the restaurant announcing Dine-In services were starting again meant I happily made a reservation for dinner at Agra Tandoor Restaurant (also because you needed to make reservations if you wished to use the GroupOn). This experience has made me a fan for the following reasons. AMBIANCE: Located in a strip mall, the restaurant had a small parking lot out front with enough parking spots available. Could have been thanks to it being a weekday, or the fact we had made reservations a little earlier in the dinner hour, but I always like easy to find parking. The restaurant itself is a little on the smaller/boutique side, which was only exasperated by COVID restrictions - upon entering, you just knew they had to remove a number of tables to meet capacity restrictions. GROUPON: Full disclosure, I treat GroupOns as a great excuse to try new-to-me restaurants. The Groupon allowed us to have an appetizer, two entrees and a dessert. In the past, some restaurants have a very small "GroupOn" menu we can order from, but not Agra Tandoori! We were told we could choose from the entire menu; I could use one hand to count the number of items that were not part of the GroupOn offer (i.e. dinner combo specials). Drinks, bread/naan, and rice were extra which I found more than fair. Fish Pakora was the chosen appetizer. Simple ingredients of garlic, ginger, and deep fried to deliciousness. The dish came out piping hot and in generous appetizer proportions (I swore I almost mistook it for an entree). My entree was the Mixed Grill and the boyfriend chose the Bombay Fish Curry, and we ordered ordered garlic naan and basmati rice as our sides. I thought the mixed grill was a great choice for me, as I got to try different meats: chicken, fish and lamb and loaded with onions. The portions were so huge I took half of it home and I had it as the main part of my lunch for the next 2 days! I only tried one piece of the fish curry (a little too spicy for me), but I have it on good authority the fish (accompanied by the garlic naan) was to die for. Dessert was the hardest one to choose, but we eventually settled on Pista Kulfi which as far as I could gather was homemade ice cream with pistachio embedded on top. For the food proportions and quality, a win! SERVICE: I thought service was another solid win. Everyone was nice and friendly, all the staff were masked up. Water glasses were refilled in a timely manner, we were asked multiple times if our food was okay (definitely), and they helped explain the dessert items that were unfamiliar to us. Food came out in a relatively fast manner, and even with the restaurant at COVID capacity, I never felt like we were too crowded, or the food took too long. There is another location open by Marine Way, I might put that on my to-try list in the future. read more

We live not too far away and have been meaning to try this place for a while as we've heard good things, and there aren't too many Indian options in the area. They are on Groupon all the time, so I was a little apprehensive but finally decided to go. The restaurant is located in a little strip mall on Canada's Way and berry unassuming. The waiting area was full of food delivery people, so take out is popular here as we saw a nonstop come and go of delivery people throughout the night. We were greeted and seated right away. The restaurant is very dimly lit. We ordered the paneer pakora, butter prawn, prawn korma, a side of rice and naan, and ras malai. The paneer were cut into big rectangular chunks and fried well and tasty with the chutney. For $10 It was a really good portion size and filling too. The butter prawn, and korma prawn were standard sized for $16. Both were tasty, and the prawns had good crunch to them, but I did find the butter sauce to be a bit on the salty side and medium spicy was not very spicy. The ras malai came in a small stemmed glass. It was tasty and had lots of pistachio flavour, but I found the rose a bit overwhelming (but I'm also not a huge fan of rose, so take that with a rain of salt). All in all, glad we have a decent Indian restaurant not too far away. We will definitely be back, and it will be our go to for takeout. read more

Agra Tandoori Restaurant - A handwritten thank you note had been attached to every take out order I've made. Collecting them because kindness is sunshine. - Indian Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

This little gem is tucked in at a strip mall on Canada Way. Must try the Shrimp Pakora appy. Its light and fluffy like a cloud of shrimp but a bit pricey for $11 We also really liked the Malai Kofta. Which is a veggie dish, with cheese balls, and the sauce is made with cashews, butter and onions The flavor profile is super delish The garlic nan also was a hit and the chicken biryani was very tasty. It's great that we could choose our level of spice. The staff were very helpful I would come back to try their combos and dessert next time read more

An unassuming and seemingly small Indian restaurant, serving all of your expected staples, Agra absolutely delivers with surprisingly amazing value. Based on two recent lunch time visits with accompanying fellow diners to this dining establishment, I've come to conclude my opinion on two things as follows: 1) the food, and 2) everything else. If you can get past the average decor, strange background music choices (or sometimes no background music at all), and service that is simply straightforward, what you will find is the most amazing array of various well known Indian specialties as well as the more uncommon delicacies. Here are some key takeaways for your future visit: 1) the portions of food - absolutely spectacular. Again, considering only the product of the kitchen and not the other aspects of the restaurant as a whole, they definitely don't cheap out here. Also, regarding the portion sizes, for both of my visits I ordered the non-veg lunch special (see photo attached) which is less than $20.00 and which is plenty enough food for one person. On my second visit, I ordered an entree of chili chicken which I single handedly finished along with the lunch special, but in hindsight could have saved half the dish for leftovers. 2) the quality of food - Every bite was a symphony of flavors, every combination of the various elements a perfect orchestration of delicious proportions, every spoonful a plunge into a pool of joy and wonder. Absolutely some of the most delicious Indian food I have had in a few months. The lamb and chicken were almost always tender and not overcooked, and the accompanying dishes were fun to explore as well. 3) spice level- whatever you order, if you order medium spice or over, it will come out hot and I mean HOT. If you order very spicy, you will get what you asked for. I like spicy food so I've gotten medium spicy levels and even that was almost borderline too hot for me. Nonetheless, I still found that the level of spiciness did not detract from my overall experience which I quite enjoyed very much. Overall, for what it is, Agra Tandoori Restaurant deserves a five star rating from me. Despite several small flaws that could be improved upon to enhance the overall experience of the diner, make no mistake that you will leave with your bellies full and most likely a takeout container for leftovers. Come support this local business! read more

The precision of recipes and flavours are always spot on. We have ordered here for years and never once had anything but craving quenching delicious Indian food. We have told all our friends about this place and everyone is instantly hooked. If that is not enough to convince you, the outstanding service will. They know our usual order just by taking our phone number. The food is delivered promptly and there is often an extra special thank you note (see image) - which makes us smile. We have only dined in once or twice. The restaurant is often quite with a more casual atmosphere... But the take out orders are bustling! Highly recommend this restaurant because you can't beat these wonderful authentic flavours in this area of town. read more

I was here with 2 friends on May 19th after hiking. One of my friends wanted to have vegetarian food and my another friend and I picked lunch buffet option ($13.95 on Saturday and Sunday) at Agra. My friend P ordered Veggie Thali ($14.50) and her food came with Naan bread with variety of veggie curry. Her food also came with free Indian dessert Gulab Jamun. I had variety of food such as Butter Chicken, Beef Kofta, Tandoori Chicken, Veggie Curry and some rice. I also got to try Goat Curry from Agra that was a new experience for me. I personally found Beef Kofta to be smelly , however it tasted good (Beef Kofta prolly has some lamb in it). My another friend M enjoyed buffet as much as I did. She really liked Gulab Jamun and everything else from the buffet section. We both got to choose a drink for the buffet,( we got to choose Chai or pop) so we picked iced tea and coke. I wish Naan bread was softer, but it was okay. I really liked Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken and Dal. Salad option was good too. One of the Indian salad was spicy though. read more

Decent but rather expensive Indian place in this part of town. Parking is available in the horrendously uneven parking lot in front of the strip mall. Personally I would recommend parking on the street (Canada Way) to avoid door dings. The interior is classy and nice. Staff were friendly. The curries I had were quite decent. Good flavour, and not too salty. Goes well with naan. Chicken 65 here is decent with a nice kick, but I must say that House Of Dosa on Kingsway has this place beat. The food is definitely pricier, but this venue would be good for a special occasion. read more

Agra Tandoori Restaurant - This was sent yesterday from Agora Tandoori! It was a lovely surprise! Food was delicious! - Indian Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Coming here again after a few months, I haven't had Indian food at a restaurant in awhile, with more of the take-out, company catered event, so I have to say my experience has been rusty at best. Arriving here at 6 and seeing this place 80% full on a Tuesday was definitely a good sign. Our party of 4 was greeted quite quickly once we entered, and we were seated, and soon after the menu's came into our hands. Going through the menu, this had many options, from appetizers to mains, ranging from vegetarian to full on meat eating, I allowed my friend to make the executive decision and order everything, and that is where it all started. We started off with the Indian fries (again), as described they were battered potato fingers, and they came as advertised, with two sauces, ketchup and some spicy red sauce that almost looked like ketchup, it was good, it was hot, and the fries, they reminded me of KFC/Burger King fries, with that extra layer that added the crunch. I allowed my friend to order the rest, and this time we ended up with the lamb vindaloo and vegetarian korma, we also had a mixed grill (with chicken tikka, tandoori chicken, and some chutney that I remembered. We also had some servings of plain nan. I warn you first, it may not look like a lot, but it hits your stomach, and when the food comes out, it is piping hot. I was a surprised I was more a fan of their vegetarian korma, not saying the lamb vindaloo was not good... but the mixture was filling and hearty. It was creamy, it had a bit of bite, and it's very rare that I would take the veggie over the meat mixture. Also the mixed grill dish, was loaded with big chunky bites of meat, even while stuffed I kept on munching and it was good. Both times being here I left overeating my share, which probably says the food is not bad. The staff is very friendly and they will also advise if you have ordered enough... they eventually came by and even packed our food for us. I never end up getting dessert, only because I am too full for it, maybe one day, but I will be back, the prices are fair and reasonable, the service is good, and the food.. it made me come back, and I hope to be back again, hopefully not overeating. read more

I believe Agra has once again changed owners, but the food remains consistent. For pick-up during Covid, the online ordering system was quick and easy. I arrived at my pick-up time and everything was ready to go with a handwritten note, which was a nice personal touch! Customer service was genuine and welcoming. Both the Palak Paneer and Aloo Gobi were well cooked and tasty. The spinach taste in the palak was fantastic. We also appreciated the lighter use of of salt and oil in each dish.

You know, for a $10 all you can eat lunch, it's really good. In comparison to Saffron, which is just 10 minutes away by driving, I'd give the edge to Saffron, but Agra Tandoori does has some good points. Staff are so friendly and relaxed. The butter chicken is a staple of mine at these all you can eat places and it's good. The naan is piping hot and freshly made. Now my favorite is definitely the goat curry. I pretty much load up my plate with naan and goat curry every time I eat here. I do wish they had better desserts as there is only 1 item and it's not to my taste. However, I still manage to leave here stuffed and happy. read more

My sister and I tried the $10.95 lunch buffet and it was pretty good for Burnaby standards. I think the best ones are still in Surrey but there is more competition over there. Food turnover was fast as the lunch rush was busy. The selection was pretty decent. Service was a bit lacking. We got a table but not cutlery or water after we sat down with our food. We had to flag a server for the missing items. The restaurant only had two servers working on the floor and it did not seem to be enough. Dirty plates were piling and it took sometime to get a refill of water. The restaurant was just very busy and could not stay on top of the service aspect. I do not normally expect much service anyways at buffets . The highlight was the goat curry and butter chicken. I wish there was palak paneer available and it would have had everything I wanted. I was surprised they had rice with bits of beef. Usually I do not see beef served in Indian restaurants. The naan was fresh and fluffy. read more

Agra Tandoori is my go to place for Indian food. It is a casual spot in Burnaby with a lot of delicious menu items to choose from. We purchased the Groupon which includes an appetizer, 2 entrees, and a dessert. Food is quickly served here, and the servers are nice and friendly. For the appetizer, we tried the shrimp pakora which is battered shrimp, slightly spicy, with a tasty dipping sauce. My favorite entree is the butter chicken. The sauce has good flavor and goes great with rice or naan. (Rice/naan is not included in the groupon so we ordered that extra) I've also tried their prawn vindaloo, lamb curry, aloo gobi. Definitely a restaurant to try if you're craving Indian cuisine! read more

A few of our friends took us here for dinner. It was busy but we had a reservation so we didn't have to wait long to be seated. We ordered the September special. 32.99 for a couple (16.50 each person). For that price, it included an appetizer, a glass of house wine each, two entrees, rice or naan and dessert. What a deal! The selection was huge and you can choose any entree. All portions were pretty substantial. I especially enjoyed the prawn pakora appetizer and the lamb curry. Everything was good though. We shared everything and were so stuffed. The curries are all very nice and different. Portions were generous and they don't skimp out on the meat. Definitely a winner. Will definitely be back! read more
