This restaurant needs lots of improvement I should have left the minute I walked in I don't know why I didn't I guess I was hungry Between the screaming children and my hunger pains I stayed I had their teeny tiny little Buffet here's what it's got going for it it comes with a chai tea and it's really cheap only $8.99 There's literally nothing on their Buffet you get some very mildly spiced chickpeas there is some lightly Curry potatoes and you get halwa . It comes with onions thick yogurt that's sitting in the sun and your tea you also get bread with it The bread came out beautiful but absolutely so greasy I could not eat the whole thing As for service there is none and they ask you for a tip I didn't give a tip cuz that's stupid when I have to do everything myself the Ambiance it's old it's dated and it's gross looking is it a meal yeah I guess so All three items that were on the buffet that were supposed to be hot or barely room temperature the buffets look like they were broken apart not a great day would I come back ... no I would not come back very disappointed I would give this a three out of 10 read more

Food is horrible, very disappointing! Service was terrible, not worth to try out at all. Also not family friendly place.

I am from Chicago live near Pakistani food heaven Devon Ave and I believe I certainly can differentiate good and bad Desi food. I ordered Beef Nehari, mutton kadhai, Daal mukhkhi naan and plain rice. Each and every item was 10 out of 10 so tasty yet not too hot. If you live or visiting Vancouver/Surrey in BC and like Pakistani food then you must visit Gulberg and thanks to me that I guided you towards great Pakistani food. Prices are very reasonable, courteous staff and counter pickup so no extra spending read more

Gulberg Tandoor - a table full of food - Pakistani Near Me - Surrey, British Columbia

Food was out of the world. Everything we ordered was on point. Service style is not very appealing, but the food delivery was quick. Ambience is also very quick service style although I would prefer table service for that kinda food. Pricing is good. Has some quirk new drink options but not your typical style coke Pepsi so that's a bittersweet experience when it came to beverage but food 10/10 read more

Simple, yet awesome Sunday brunch buffet! There are only 4 items, cholay, aloo, keema, and halwa, but they are all mighty tasty eaten with the puri that is continuously brought to your table. Finish it off with a cup of chai, or be like wifey, who drinks one cup before the meal, one during, and then one after, for the road. Oh, and the people who work there are totally friendly. But that's probably normal in these parts, because Canadians are our friendly neighbors to the north! read more

Definitely a hole in the wall. Butter chicken had very little meat, no spice or flavour and was very sweet. The naan however is recommended... it was very satisfying and bigger than most places around read more

Staff were helpful and friendly. You go to the counter to order your food and seat yourself with a number. They will bring the food and drinks to you. I had their butter chicken with naan bread. The naan bread is huge and extremely tasty and the right amount of crunch. The butter chicken is flavourful and delicious. Make sure you have water as it is definitely spicy, but I love that heat! read more

* Unlikely combination * Ok, I have to say this is the first time I've been in a Pakistani restaurant that also serves a wide selection of donair and souvlaki and fish and chips. But we skipped right over the distractions and focused on the more South Asian offerings. This fast food counter is tucked away in the back of the Gulberg market. If you feel like you are in the wrong place, just follow the signs to the washroom down the corridor, and around the corner and you will surface into the restaurant area which was really hidden away if you come in through the market. (Apparently there is another door so you can enter directly - but somehow we didn't find that when we arrived.) I had the beef nihari. The beef was incredibly tender, and came bathed in rich complex spiced sauce. There were no shanks, which was a bit different than what I've had before. So no marrow to suck out of the bones, but delicious nonetheless. It was garnished with a generous amount of fresh ginger slices and coriander. Lovely dish. And a steal at $5.99. The naan was in the most perfect round circle I've ever seen (as if it had been baked in a pizza tray or something!). It was freshly made (we could see the large dough mixer running to make the next batch), and came piping hot. It was the fluffier style, but very tasty. It soaked up the nihari sauce perfectly. Also got to try the channa curry, which had a slightly different flavour profile than I have had before - with more cinnamon overtones. It was also quite delicious, and a total steal at $3.99 for a generous portion. Overall this little fast food counter has some really nice offerings, really friendly service, and is a great find. I'll definitely be back - and I doubt I'll order the donair before trying everything else on the menu! read more

Schizophrenia is running rampant at this Pakistani hole in the wall. The fact that the menu has some traditional Pakistani dishes like Nihari, but also India staples like Butter Chicken is not surprising, but Donair and Hummus - Really Gulberg? Really? We settled for the less adventurous Nihari and Biryani. The Chicken Biryani was very ordinary and somewhat greasy. The chicken was tough and smelly. The beef Nihari was much more flavourful. The nans were of larger (somewhat tougher) Pakistani style, nevertheless good. Not sure if I will head back here anytime in the future. read more

We drive to Surrey from Seattle in search of good food. My family has tried different Pakistani/Indian restaurants in BC. Donair's Biryani and Nihari rates on the top. Their naans are soft and fresh. As long as you are looking for good food, you will not be disappointed. read more

One of the best Pakistani foods. Recommendations Malai kabab Nihari Mix kebabs Fish read more

Delicious chicken and lamb briyani, keema, malai tikka and chai tea. Generous portions and fair prices. The naan bread is fresh and huge and reasonably priced. Samosas are good too. If you're expecting some fancy place, forget it - it's basically a "cafeteria" catering to the students and staff of Kwantlen Polytechnic University and the Muslim community. Service can be slow at times but the food makes up for this deficiency. read more

Terrible, i always see people returning the food when they are dining in. They really need to fire the head chef and try someone new. Look at their pizza slices and all their indian/paki dishes at the front - they look awful and always full as no one buys it. They should read their bad reviews and do something about it. Came here with my friends a few times and it sucks. Retrain the chef or try someone new. The place should be packed all the time. read more

Went there on Saturday nite for dinner while visiting Vancouver. The food was average and service could improve. Most striking thing was the lack of cleanliness. Tables chairs were dirty and cutlery was not properly washed(got plastic spoons instead). We ordered the Brbq Mix plate and Biryani. Both were average in taste and the biryani had a hair. Certainly wont go back. read more

Surprisingly good Indian and Pakistani fare, Very cheap, tasty and excellent portions - Always served hot and fresh

Picked up food - Chicken tikka was excellent but just served with plain rice no salad or raita

It was our first time here with my wife. Foods are delicious however service and the environment is terrible. It is a cold place you do not feel comfortable and they do not take order from your table, you have to line up and give your order. I did not like the place. read more

Horrible chicken platters, pretty sure the tzatiki sauce was bad, hummus had zero flavour, one platter was missing sauce, had to wait 30 mins for 2 platters when the store was empty. Food inspector was standing in the kitchen watching their food handling skills, damn samosas were dripping oil and looked like a soiled baby's diaper, will never go back nor recommend to anyone, unless it's someone I'm not too fond of lol. I give it one star for a clean shitter read more

Stopped by on the way back south across the border looking for some quick, inexpensive curry in Surrey. The three of us shared the chicken biryani, channa currey, and "butter chicken." All were satisfied with both flavor and quantity and so inexpensive. Sure the atmosphere is absolutely hole-in-the-wall and I had to pull small bits of chicken bone from the biryani, but otherwise fantastic. Another bonus is that you can pop next door to the market to pick up ingredients for your home-made attempts between visits. read more

Go here, go now. This place is the best Indian/Pakistani in town for meat dishes. Far superior to their sit-down buffet restaurant. The grill here does wonders. Stand-out items are their naan, seekh kabab, Chicken Tikka, Nihari, and their fried chicken. There is no better place in the Vancouver area. It is casual and no frills, don't expect good service or fancy seating. It's good food in a hole-in-the-wall type setting. read more

I've been going to this restaurant for over a decade. The most consistent tasting food I have ever eaten. If I had to select a signature dish it would be their butter chicken. The best part of the restaurant asides from the quality of the food is the speed of delivery. People often forget how fast this food is prepared. The best better chicken I have ever eaten is from this establishment. Another personal favourite I would recommend is the beef donair. Since I have been visiting this restaurant, they have added fast-food (fried chicken, mojos) and pizza. Recently, they added indian sweets to the menu. You cant go wrong visiting this restaurant. read more

I love this restaurant. I have been 5 times and the food is consistently tasty. The level of complexity and layers of flavour and spices amazes me. Although an informal dining experience, I highly recommend this place. It is the kind of restaurant that you would drive/walk by and not even think twice about trying. I love the "hole in the wall" types of restaurants. read more

Beef seekh kabob was dry, Reshmi kabob was ok, and naan was cold. There were no other customers in the restaurant and staff didn't feel the need to be nice or friendly what so ever... The food tasted like something you would make out of a box. If you're looking for good Indian or Pakistani food, this isn't your spot. read more

Simple home cooked style food. This restaurant has a good taste per it's price point. Maybe because it's new but the quality is there and hopefully it stays the same. Sit down for a nice casual fast food experience. read more

We got food for 20 people for a party. Everything was really good. I was nervous that the food might not be enough but it ended up being more than enough. The food was fresh and good tasting as well (the seekh kebabs were a hit among the guests). And the prices are also very reasonable. read more

Horrible food! The hummus was flavourless, pita bread was stale, chicken was dry again flavourless as well. My bf had the beef burger and fries, fries were soggy and the burger was tasteless and greasy. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone. read more

Food is decent and some items like their kabobs and nihari stand out. Their food is not consistently tasty but it's not bad to try a halal dine in. The service isn't so great. They definitely need to hire more staff members. read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant on our way to Seattle from Vancouver, BC. Yelp had good reviews so decided to try it out. It is a little difficult to find since you have to navigate your way through a grocery market. However, once you are there, you will be pleasently surprised with awesome food, very reasonable pricing, and really nice servers. We went here on a Sunday, and Halwa puri (typical Pakistani brunch) was being served in a buffett. We placed an order to go, and the server gave us tons of hulwa puri, choley, potatoe curry, and keema ( ground beef) - she said if we had sat down to eat, it would've been as much as we could eat buffett. Needless to say, everything we tried we delicious! I would highly recommend this place. :) read more

Food was terrible, cold. Naan bread was old probably from a previous cancelled order. They made a mistake with our order and charged us for their error. Seems to be hit and miss - sometimes the food is well prepared and other times its terrible. Ordered potato curry this time and it was cold and tasted bitter. Don't think the owner cares or reads these reviews. read more

Delicious and Authentic Persian cuisine is available in Surrey here at Gulberg! Had the lamb shank and not to sound so cliche but it was truly mouthwatering! You must try this place! read more

Ambience s good food quality is superb lack in customer service must try to improve that nd chelo kabas are worth 9.99$

Great food but the interior of the restaurant could use a little modernization. I found this place accidentally while driving in Surrey and I can safely say that this restaurant is one of the best in this area. I usually go there every few days for lunch as its pretty close to my office. read more

Amazing choices: Pakistani, Indian, and Mediterranean - all in a comfortable and casual setting. It's great that you can have a great meal, then go next door and shop for all the ingredients so you can make it for yourself at home. read more

Very poor service. Don't bother ordering take-out on the phone they'll make your food when you get there to pick it up. Happened twice; not going back. read more

I ordered the boneless chicken malai Tikka as take out for my dinner as I study for my midterm and I was not impressed. The chicken was severely disappointing, charred on the outside but very raw and pink on the inside. I could not eat it without considering some sort of salmonella or other illness as a result. Not going back. read more
