We didn't realize this, but it was 2pm when we got there. As is the norm, we went immediately to the buffet and loaded up our first round (you know, the "little bit of everything" plate) and then, as we were getting up to go for seconds, we were told that the buffet would be closing soon (15 minute warning) so of course we got our seconds (aka, the "I know what I want" plate). We also took advantage of the warning and grabbed our desserts early from the well-lit dessert bar! Hello gulab jamun! The restaurant was buzzing the entire time we were then, even when it was about to close between services. The staff kept checking in on us, making it feel like a full service restaurant, and not just a buffet. Love this place!

So sad... We went to our lunch buffet fab last week and were…read moreso disappointed. The food was so salty. Hard to believe that this is the same place we've be coming to for years! Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is nice. I'm hoping it was just an off day and a chef with a heavy hand. Note: the Willoughby location is consistent so we'll just go there for now.

I was not expecting this restaurant to be as big as it is. The space here is truly massive, and…read morewhile it was mostly empty when we came at around 2:30 - I can picture the hubbub of activity that would be present during peak dinner hours. This does seem to be a highly recommended place to eat Indian food in Surrey. I had the Non-Veg Thali, which isn't on the menu, but the waitress helpfully let us know about. It's very customizable - and I went with garlic naan, rice, two tandoori chicken pieces, lamb vindaloo, and shahi paneer - all in a single plate! Pretty much everything was excellent. I'm not even sure where to start. The garlic naan was fantastic. Soft, buttery, with just a slight hint of garlic and lightly charred on the outside. I could honestly eat this by itself and be satisfied. Garlic naan is a staple of what I order whenever eating Indian food, and this might be the best one I've had. The shahi paneer was also great; tomato-forward, creamy, and the paneer was super soft. The lamb vindaloo was a real standout. It was immensely flavorful - not lacking for spice at all - but you don't just taste capsaicin - you taste all the cumin, cardamom, and garam mixed in with the curry. But the lamb itself is the best part of the curry; it's so tender and juicy. The absolute peak, though, was the tandoori chicken. These were two large dark meat pieces, which were cooked to absolute perfection - retaining so much juice and fat. The skin was a perfect deep orange, seasoned with a ton more spices. It's like eating fried chicken but without the breading, but this was arguably even better. The masala fries were the only thing kind of a miss - as they lacked any masala. The price of the thali was only 23 CAD. That's a pretty insane deal for how much food you get - I was unable to finish everything on my plate despite being very hungry. Honestly two people could share this and be satisfied. When you consider how much sharing and new orders for bread, rice, and curries goes on at your typical Indian restaurant, this is crazy good value. Overall, I would classify this as the best Indian food I've had outside of Asia. 9.5/10

We went for dinner and were expecting just a name change and perhaps a menu refresh but we were pleasantly surprised. We had lamb vindaloo, palak paneer, and Rahra chicken, which we'd not had before. There was more lamb and paneer than I would have expected, and the rahra dish had both chicken thigh pieces and minced chicken in it. They were also good about no cilantro, which I always ask for but have 70-30 odds of it still appearing. We actually had so much with 3 dishes, we had to take it home, which NEVER happens at a normal Indian place. Service was lovely. It was a great experience and I would definitely go back.

There are 2 locations - this location can walk in to order any kind of samosa, while the other location will require preorder 1 day notice for samosas that are not the potato & peas original one. I went here on a Saturday 11am and there was a good amount of people picking up bulk orders, but since we wanted to try the quality of the samosas, we ordered by the piece. Each piece is around 1-2 CAD each which is very good price. We got 1 of each (potato & peas (original), garden mix vegetables, beef, chicken, paneer, and butter chicken). We got a small tamarind chutney sauce for 0.50CAD extra. Total was around 9 CAD which is quite a solid price for a meal for 1 person (snack for 2 people). I liked their potato & peas (original) the most and all their vegetarian options are solid. The meat options are more ground meat so I'm not that big of a fan, but they're still good. It's just the value lies in the vegetarian samosas. Next time I bring a cooler and order in bulk, to enjoy at the comfort of my home for multiple meals!

The butter chicken is easily one of the best I've had--rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. Pair it with their rumali roti, which is a rare find in Vancouver, and you have the perfect meal. The chicken Kalami kebabs are unbelievably tender and practically melt in your mouth, while the lamb chops are beautifully marinated and cooked to perfection. Their chicken biryani isn't a traditional dum biryani, but it's delicious in its own right with plenty of flavor. Don't skip the chai and gulab jamun--they're the perfect way to end the meal. There's almost always a line, which tells you how popular this place is with locals. I'd recommend calling ahead to get on the waitlist and save yourself some time. The restaurant has plenty of indoor seating, and despite how busy it gets, the food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and served at very reasonable prices. If you're craving authentic North Indian food in Vancouver, ChaCha's Tandoor & Grill is an absolute must-visit.
