We arrived around noon on a Wednesday and were the first customers there. Dining room was comfortable with lots of tables and chairs. Our server was pleasant and efficient. They have a nice sized menu with lots of options. Our food came out pretty quick and it was pretty tasty. We ate at several Indian restaurants on our trip to BCand when we asked the servers about spice levels - - they stated that food isn't very spicy there so order spicy. We did and it was just right.

Absolutely unacceptable experience. I found a hair in my food and called the restaurant to report…read morethe issue, but the staff member who answered, Nodia, became incredibly argumentative, rude, and aggressive. I have recorded the phone call as proof of their hostile customer service. Furthermore, I witnessed the chef using their bare hands to pick something out of the curry before serving it to customers. The lack of basic hygiene and the appalling customer service make it impossible to recommend this place. Avoid at all costs.

Once I ordered lamb and when I got home it was chicken. I ate it anyway as I knew it too would be good and it was. Next time I ordered I mentioned it to her and she gave me a significant discount on my present order. I did not expect that or ask as I had eaten it anyway but I very much appreciated it. I will be back many times

We had a very disappointing experience at Flavours of India…read more We ordered butter chicken and lamb butter masala, both mild. There were only three occupied tables in the restaurant. While waiting, we watched a server bring two dishes and rice to the booth next to us, speak with the diners for a few minutes, and then return to the kitchen with the food. Shortly afterward, our entrées arrived. They didn't look quite like what we expected. Mine was surprisingly spicy despite ordering mild, and my husband commented that his was a completely different flavor and not butter masala. After eating for a bit, we realized these appeared to be the same dishes we had just watched go to the other table and return to the kitchen. By then, everyone else in the restaurant had already been served. When my husband questioned the server, he acknowledged that we had not been given what we ordered. There was no apology, no offer to replace our meals, and no attempt to make it right. We were simply asked if we were ready for the bill. Whether the food was good became beside the point. Being served the wrong order under these circumstances, followed by the lack of concern when we brought it to their attention, made this an experience we won't repeat.
