I would also describe the food as modern since there are some cool fusion dishes such as the mango burrata (I didn't end up ordering this but I wish I did!) I love lamb biryanis and this place has the most colorful and aesthetic lamb biryani I've ever seen. The samosas were also plated with a lot of creativity and artistic touches. Overall the food was very flavorful. I'm already thinking about my next bowl of biryani!

I want to start this review by giving a big shoutout to Pemba who was our server, he was so kind and took such good care of us and recommended really good items based on what we wanted. Everything I tried from here was 10/10! Some stand out items - :: Bombay pomfret fry - OH! The masala and coating on this was sooo good we were sucking on the bones till the very end. Such a great appetizer! :: Lasooni palak burrata - I was a little apprehensive about this at first because burrata and palak didn't seem like something I would want to try but I was wrong! This was one of my favourite dishes. It was such a delicious fusion item. For dessert, I would recommend getting their soan papdi malai khwaab and their malai ghewar. Not too sweet, just perfect. For drinks, aam pana with gin is the way to go. I really cannot wait to come back and order everything again!

We were visiting from California. We arrived on the later side of dinner. The restaurant was still…read morevery busy and full of people who appeared to be Indian/Pakistani - always a good sign. They have a big tv above the bar and above the entrance that was showing the hockey game. It's a small storefront entrance on a busy street but you couldn't hear the street noise. The food was AMAZING. We got the goat biryani, chicken tikka masala, samosas, garlic naan, mango lassi and a hot chai. Big delicious portions of everything. The service was ok, they were busy and potentially less attentive than usual. Anyway, would definitely go back again.

First there is no mistaking this for a high end restaurant as another review recorded. This is a…read moresolid Nepalese joint. However it is not focused and instead provides a little bit of the region for everyone (Nepal, China, India, Pakistani influences). Came in for lunch on a weekday. Quickly seated and tended to by the staff. Interior is more of a diner scene than nice cafe. Bathrooms are gender neutral and clean but not nice. Here's my three things: 1) I got a lunch special featuring fish peckora, and tandoor chicken. Good flavor but missed on the real spice flavors. Veg salad was sour and worked with the rest of the plate. 2) These folks can make some NAAN! The Naan stole the show. Sweet, salty and crisp. 3) Price wise you can fill up and have a drink for $25-30CAN.

Really good experience. They got us in right away. The decor was nice and modern…read more Service was so fast.

Walking through Gastown, we rediscovered a place we went about 20 years before. The Sitar is a…read moretraditional Indian restaurant with an "old world" feel. We had the lunch special, a beef curry with rice. They also offered it as a vegetarian version. We also added naan and mango lasees. The curry was nicely spicy, with onions and peppers and the rice, delicious. The naan was a half piece and I would have liked the whole piece --it was so buttery and the perfect dipper for the thick curry sauce. The mango lasee was cold and the perfect accompaniment for the curry. Service was attentive and our food was served quickly.Would recommend!

I've ordered from this place so many times and all their rotis have been so flavourful. Spice factor is on point and actually spicy! The roti I get the most is the butter chicken roti and the sauce is amazing, the chicken is juicy and the roti comes piping hot even when delivered by uber. Highly recommend you checks it out! It's a staple in Van.

If I had any negative it would be that the environment was a little off. I couldn't feel totally relaxed there, but the food was so good that I didn't care.

This made the experience far less enjoyable. And felt rushed too. Anyway, the nice thing is I asked for some warm rice and they served me the plain white rise, more than I needed but it was not the mixed rice. As a traveling person I tried to just enjoy it. But can't give more than 3 stars. The seating arrangements are also not super comfortable but the servers were all very nice. Finally , the garlic naan tasted great but arrive 1/2 through my 30 minute stay. So timing was not ideal.

I always order my usual favorite, the hariyali kabab roll, but lately, it just feels like I am eating plain paratha--and a raw, undercooked one at that. The kabab itself has lost its flavor, and they barely add any sauces or onions anymore, leaving the entire roll feeling completely bland and dry. I really want to keep coming back here, so I highly recommend that management takes immediate action to fix the food quality. I genuinely hope to see some improvements soon.

I love Butter Chicken, which is exactly what I ordered. It didn't disappoint. The order was big, for approximately $13. I ordered medium spicy, which was perfect. The place was clean. Parking is at the back, its easy to miss it. But there's also parking on the side street. It's free. The only disappointment is it says open 24 hrs, it's not. I came here lunch time twice, and it was closed. Not sure what time they are open. It probably didn't make business sense to open in the morning. But it shouldn't say open 24 hrs. At least I'm glad if I get hungry late at night, I know where to go.
