I haven't had such bad Indian food in the BC area in the last ten years. Mutter paneer was so watery. Aloo tikkis were ok. Had to wait for sometime for the tikkis and naan. Dal was ok. Cauliflower and potato curry was flavorless. I am shocked that the place is run by punjabis and yet the food is horrible. Rice kheer was *barf* worthy. Never stop by here. And the tea, if one may so call it was burnt. Never again!

I'm a bit of a refugee in Abbotsford right now and my partner drove up from Portland in Oregon to…read morevisit for a couple of days. As some of you will know Portland has an incredible food scene happening right now so we went out in search of dinner with not too high expectations of regional BC. We wandered around a little then came upon this little gem. Upon entry we were greeted by olde English style decor which threw us a bit but the aromas coming from the kitchen were incredible. I suspect that this had been a part of the bar in a larger pub at some stage. I've read a review on google saying that the menu is limited but this can't be further from the truth if you're after traditional east Indian cooking and not some modern fusion translation of the same. Both the vegetarian and meat/seafood options were more extensive than I'd experienced before in this context. For starters we ordered vegetable samosa to share. It wasn't the usual deep fried dripping with oil fare you normally find. The taste was crisp with all flavours of the ingredients discernible and full unlike most in my experience outside India. I had a glass of the house red and she the white which was half decent for 4.95CD a glass. Next on the agenda was 2 serves of plain Naan with steamed rice and I ordered the chicken tikka and she the lamb korma, medium and mild spiciness respectively. The chicken was moist and full of flavour with the spiciness bearable by my partner but a little on the mild side for me but the texture and flavours were great with hints of every ingredient present. The lamb korma was wonderful, they weren't even afraid to leave a little of the fat there to add to the texture which we both loved. Anyone that orders a spicy korma does not know indian traditional cooking and completely misses the point of the korma countering the spicier dishes. I'd actually ordered saffron rice but plain arrived which was a little disappointing but steamed rice is steamed rice. The naan was crispy in the right places and soft in the middle; just how we like it. Service was good but not great but it's obviously a family run business where the emphasis is on the food. Overall a very pleasant experience and at $63CD in total and with more quality food than we both could eat in 3 sittings very worth while if a little spendy compared to our Portland norm.

THE VERDICT The silverware and plates are standard... Nothing to boast of. The food is good but you can find better. Good ambience to throw a party for your friends. THE FOOD Food was good. It wasn't bad but it wasn't worth driving for hours. If you are in the area you can stop here and grab a bite. Or if you are looking for a casual dinner place to sit at and chat with your friends while grabbing a few drinks the this is the place to go. I haven't been to many restaurants in this area and I can only say that the food here is better than GIANS but I have had better. Portions are smaller than most Indian places. THE SERVICE The service is good. The servers are polite and serve with a smile but they are a little forgetful and we had to repeat our orders. However it might come from inexperience and in some time this should become better if the servers remain the same. But nothing to really complaint about. The food is not cheap but neither is it too expensive. It is ok for grabbing dinner once in a while
