We decided to cater a small event, and Gian's not only met our expectations, they made the lunch feel truly special. The food was high quality, generous in quantity, and easy to serve right away. They also made it simple to decide what to order, which was such a help. Highly recommend! read more

We stopped in here for the Buffet Lunch. What a happy surprise.Not only is the food top notch but the service is also just wonderful. And the price is reasonable. We'll certainly be back! read more

We needed to eat quickly before crossing the border and Gian's lunch buffet was perfect! We got to try a sample of everything and they even brought some fresh garlic and plain naan by our table. Friendly staff too. Everyone was happy and we also liked the dessert selection. This was worth the extra drive time off our route. read more

It sucks that I didn't take any photos but that only tells you how hungry i was! We ordered: goat vindaloo - about $16 Lamb buna - about $16 2 naan - about $5 Rice - about $5 Total: about $42 before tip The food was pretty good especially the lamb Bhuna. The naan bread was delicious that we ended up ordering one more! The goat vindaloo was delicious but we felt it was too saucy. The seating is very uncomfortable. We had to squeeze ourselves in to get seated. Certainly not a well thought out place for people of all sizes. I found it hard to get in and out, which was awfully annoying. Service was okay. They weren't too busy but I suppose it was right after their buffet ended, which meant they must've been really tired. It would be nice if the restaurant rethought their interior design and made the seating more comfortable. Then the experience would be fantastic! Would definitely go back for the food! read more

Came here more than five years ago and the food was excellent.... Came back again and had Goat Curry, Roti, Salted Lassi and more... This is one of the Top 5 Indian joints of ALL TIME with some of the BEST INDIAN FOOD EVER !! The service is prompt and respectful... The food speaks for itself and it doesn't need an elaborate review.... They DID forget to add Raita and Salad for my take out order which I only found out once I got home :( read more

Food is good but I had a weird experience. I'm one of those people who genetically can't stomach cilantro, so I asked the server to please make sure there wasn't any cilantro garnish on my curry. When it arrived, it had cilantro on top. I scrapped it off and wasn't going to make a big deal of it. But then... one of the cooks came over to bus our table and saw all the cilantro piled on a small plate. He said, "Oh! I was told not to put cilantro on your dish but I just did it anyway." What the hell.... read more

This place definitely has some of my Favorite Food. Butter chicken, amazing, garlic naan, amazing. Service is good, The inside is nice and clean. Definitely recommend going here. read more

I'm not an Indian but feel tasty on Gian's food. Buffet is worthy money. Service is fine and timely. Environment is clean as a dining place.

Gian's was always our go to for a group meal. I ordered a selection of dishes but was really, really disappointed about the portions. Previously, the 10 dishes we ordered could feed the 14 people for dinner. But now the portions were so small, everybody left hungry. Increase the price if you have too, but please retain portions so that everybody can sample the dishes. read more

January 22: I went to Gians with family and a bad experience. They have fewer staff so that makes service very slow. We have to wait a lot for food we went there at 5pm and got out at 8pm all because of slow service. Food: Their food is well below the average Indian food, every curry was tasted alike. If you are looking for a better Indian cuisine don't go there atleast. On the top of that when we reached home four of 8 people had stomach ache and we were relieved after visiting washrooms read more

Just a note to all. The buffet is only for lunch and am told by the wait staff that it's not spicy. Secondly, I am not a fan of the interior design. However, that said the food that I ordered was excellent. This is an ala carte restaurant meaning each item that you would like, you need to order separately. So, I ordered Prawn Vindaloo, Hayderabadi Lamb and Basmati rice. Remember to order the rice if you ask for really spicy to counter the curry. That said, I'm glad I ordered really spicy as it turns out was just the right heat. Had I not ordered really spicy, I fear it was going to be tame. Remember that Indian cuisine is spicy or should I say should be spicy. Overall I enjoyed the experience and will return to taste the other dishes on the menu. Cheers! read more

Best Indian food in town! Love their service always exceptional and accommodating! Never a complaint!

Came here with a group and we enjoyed the food. The only concern; there not enough of an array of dishes; but we all got fed and that's what's important! read more

Man this place is busy! Busy!! We ordered and then waited for our takeout. Well worth the wait. We had the Keema naan. The lamb biryani. Butter chicken. And the paneer and spinach. And some veggie samosa. Wow. We'd heard the butter chicken was one of the beat in the lower mainland and they are right. But the lamb and rice dish was amazing. The lamb was so tender. Braised before being added. This is our third time here and will def come back. read more

My colleague and I dropped by here for their lunch buffet. We were able to get seated immediately, and when we informed the staff that it was our first time there, they walked us through the dishes available that day and shared with us some of their recommendations. From what I could understand, they usually have two or three meat dishes as part for the buffet, and then the remainder are all vegetarian. They refill and keep the buffet relatively stocked up, so you never really need to worry about the food running out or not being fresh. Their curry and nan bread were easily my most favourite. I didn't try the dessert cause I wasn't in the mood for anything sweet, but I definitely went back for seconds. Usually I'd write down which dishes stood out, but everything was delicious and nothing in particular was bad, so I decided to forego that this review. If you're ever given the chance to eat here, I highly recommend their lunch buffet. Affordable, delicious, and great ambiance. read more

Good spot for Indian if you're in Abbotsford. The service was great, this restaurant has a real family feel. The flavours were good, but I found the meat quite chewy in the curries. The server was great at suggesting dishes that don't contain dairy since I am lactose intolerant, and he had a great sense of humour. read more

See all

This may be the best Indian food we've had in North America! Being from North India, I've tried many different restaurants in many cities and I have to say Gian's might be at the top of the list. Wonderful butter chicken, excellent Naan, Shahi paneer, and everything we had. The servers were also really nice and pleasant. The place does not have a fancy decor -- it was under construction when we went there -- but the food and service is awesome! read more

Guan's has great Indian food. This restaurant has been around for years and doesn't look super fancy from the outside... but you can't judge a book by its cover on this one! We started off with sharing samosas...chicken was super flavourful and served with 2 different Chutneys...love the flavours! One of the best thing about Indian restaurants is ordering family style and sharing all of the dishes! There were 6 of us and we ordered the following! 1 Veg Samosa 1 Chicken Samosa Dry Chili Paneer Lamb Vindaloo Buttler Chicken Veg Korma Murg Masala 2 Basmati Rice 3 Garlic Naan Veg Raita This was just the perfect amount of food to feed 6 adults! We ordered everything medium for spice except the Vindaloo was ordered extra spicThe Vindaloo however was not that spicy! The service was great...the food came out super fast and was really tasty! The people at the table behind us ordered some Tikka dishes that came out sizzling and looked delicious! Will definitely try one of the Tikka dishes next time! read more

I took my parents to Abbotsford and was well aware of the Indian community that exist there but I've never eaten at an Indian restaurant in Abbotsford before. We approached this restaurant and noticed the staff cleaning the door and I was immediately impressed due to the new precautions this pandemic has created. Rahul and Harsh greeted us and took our information name and number and proceeded to take us to a table. I asked our server Rahul what his favourite meals were in simply returned the menu and said that sounds great bring it all. I ordered gol gappa water to start with a Samosa plate and a chaat plate. Best samosas in any restaurant I've ever had. We also ordered the Murgh Masala and Paneer dish with naan. Everything was delicious fresh. I was very impressed and I will come back we even asked about the sweet shop they have further down the street and we also went to that shop and ordered a bunch of sweets which we came home and finished a great organization clean and friendly. read more

We went for lunch buffet while on a long road trip. Nothing to rave about. It was functional. A couple of dishes were good so did fill us up. But the rest were below average. Not sure how you screw up Dal and Chana Masala. N both were not edible. I got a peculiar smell in some dishes which seems like was from reusing oil (that as used for frying) in entrees. read more

If you're looking for a quick bite of East Indian food, then this is your place. They offer buffet style lunch Monday to Friday for only $13.00/person. The butter chicken is to die for and don't forget that naan bread to soak up all the extra sauce. The atmosphere is dated and a bit old but the food makes up for that. Make sure you don't mix up the Gians Banquet location and Gians Restaurant. Nonetheless, they're only a few blocks away from each-other, so not too far to back-track if you go to the wrong location. Cheers! read more

Awesome lunch Buffet. Probably the best in Abbotsford! Apparently they've been here for 20 years and are on the local newspaper's 'A' list. Not surprising. It is highly recommended by everyone who knows about it. The food is spicy but not too much. They got it just right. read more

I really like this place but the last couple of times I've been here has been a disappointment. I love their butter chicken, I ordered for take-out one night and the chicken was really tough, like it was reheated or something, the sauce was still really good. About a week ago I went to their lunch buffet which is usually really good, but the day I went it just wasn't as good as it usually is. Again the chicken in the butter chicken was tough (the buffet butter chicken is always better than the take -out for some reason). Maybe it was an off day but none the less it's still my to-go Indian resturant read more

If you are looking for the best Indian food you'll ever have in your life, Gian's is the place. Speaking as a non-Indian Anglo-Saxon white guy, the food is incredible and I honestly could go and eat there everyday! We quite often go for the lunch buffet because you get a good sampling of the food for a reasonable price, and with all you can eat...oh baby. The butter chicken at Gian's is just amazing and I have to really stop myself from just putting a straw in the container and diving straight in. I can't say enough good things about the food here, but it's a must-do in Abbotsford. read more

Great food. love the butter chicken. always have great service. can be a bit expensive but overall great

It's been our go to for many many years. We've tried others, we always come back. Great prices, new reno taking place, service always good!!

This restaurant deeply impressed me! It was going through renovations when we visited and none the less it was packed! New customers kept rolling in during our entire stay on a Sunday afternoon even though everyone was seated in a temporary location in the back of the restaurant. The food was fresh and flavorful, and very well priced. Check this out if you're in the area and in the mood for a delicious Indian feast! read more

I had in a past review shorted Gians by a star because the washrooms were below par. Today I found that the washrooms have been completely refurbished. Food is still great and Gian's gets a 5 star rating! read more

Had take out lamb jalfrazi and a spiced up chicken tikka masala, which they did for me upon request. I'm just traveling through. But if I lived in Abbotsford, I'd spend serious time here. The meat in both dishes was high quality and properly cooked. The jalfrazi had a bit too much oil, but this is often the case. The veggies in both dishes were cooked perfectly as well--too often peppers and onions become limp, rubbery garnishes, but not here. Also, the rice was well seasoned and of decent quality, which adds to the quality of the food. read more

Hands down the best tasting indian food in BC. There is no competition in Abbotsford. They have great non veg & vegetarian dishes and also have gluten free options. If you haven't been here just do yourself a favor and order 4 or 5 different dishes with some garlic naan bread. read more

Best Indian food I've ever eaten! Lovely, friendly people, consistent excellence. The Sunday to Friday lunch buffet is an absolute must. Highly recommended. read more

Came here for the lunch buffet on a rainy Thursday. Just OK for me. Not more than a solid three stars. Food is good, but not amazing. Service is friendly. Bathroom is a bit dank and run down. Overall decor is in need of an update. I came here because it was 4.5 stars on Yelp, but it really should be 3 or 3.5 IMHO. read more

Read the previous review and have to say, we agree really good food, we had the dinner for two and it was perfect. We had mild but could have gone a bit hotter. My only note is the Yelp location is the banquet hall. The restaurant is about two blocks west on the opposite side of the street. Good service, we will be back and if you read my reviews that is saying a lot read more

In my opinion, one of the best Indian food place's I've tried so far! The food is amazing and the service was epic!

Best Indian food I've found in Abbotsford and great friendly service as well. I've had a variety of dishes and all have been served with good presentation and quality flavours and ingredients. It's also nice that there is lots of room for large groups without feeling crowded. read more

I love Indian food and hoped to find a new go-to take out option after having made the move from Vancouver to Abbotsford. Based on the reviews online, I figured Gian's was worth the 20 minute drive in each direction to try out. Knowing it was a bit of a drive and the kids' eating schedule is rather carved in stone, I called ahead to pre-order with about 90 minutes of lead time. So it was a bit disappointing to arrive at the pre-scheduled time only to have to wait another 25 minutes at the restaurant for my order to be ready. (My best theory to date is that they decided not to actually start making any of my food until I showed up in person and paid for it.) The level of confusion and disarray among the staff was obvious. Although the restaurant has plenty of indoor dining space, most people there were similarly waiting for take-out. And most of those were also annoyed by the unexpected delay in getting their orders filled. But eventually the food arrives packed into two plastic bags and I'm back in my car for the belated drive home. I didn't make it more than a few blocks before I noticed that the bag was turning all sorts of pretty colours. I kept pulling over to try to stabilize the stacked take out containers but essentially ended up driving home with my (increasingly aromatic) right arm extended trying to keep everything in place. When I got everything inside I realized that more than one container lid hadn't even been folded over to keep closed. So we lost a decent amount of that dish to the forces of gravity, but, from what we tasted of that which remained, we weren't missing much. Between the veg korma, palak paneer, shahee paneer, chana masala, veg pakoras and mango lassi, the meal was a bust. read more

Yum yum and yum... Went to visit a friend here and they took me to this place and let's just say it was delicious. I usually never get buffets because they kinda gross me out and don't usually include all the things I like. After checking the buffet out I thought I would try it since it had quite a good selection and including the Naans. I am East Indian and I was more than satisfied with the food. read more

We went to Gian's for the lunch buffet. Not only were prices extremely reasonable, the food was phenomenal, and the service excellent - staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful. Would definitely recommend! read more

Went somewhere else in the valley and all I could think was "should have gone to Gian's instead". A trusted staple my wife and I get takeout from probably once a month. read more

The food here is top notch! It's wonderfully presented to you with loads of different little sauces and sides. As a person from San Francisco where international food is world class, I have to say that I was impressed. I gave it 4/5 stars because the atmosphere could use a little help (but whatever, it's not a big deal at all). read more
