Some dishes had the mention "chef's specialties," which I ordered: Aloo Baingan: potatoes and baby eggplant sautéed with ginger, garlic, onion, tomatoes & spices. You choose your level of spiciness. It comes with basmati rice and bread. For gluten-free, they have the Makki ki roti, made with corn. Mango Chutney is a sweet mango jam. Good for soothing the palate when the dish is spicy. The prices are lower than those at some other restaurants. I appreciate it when they have vegan dishes.

It's great food, and the person who helped me, spoke to me in the kindest way. Legit place... so the food... I got Butter Chicken, and a Korma, packed with a container of rice. Honestly, it's solid good tasting food. It's not a Michelin restaurant, but honestly, you sometimes just want something delicious and non-pretentious, that this place delivers that. There are so many restaurants in Vancouver that deliver, and at the end of the day, this checks the boxes in so many ways (at least our takeaway did) that when I come back into town again, it's on the list for a family dinner.

It was clearly once a (Chinese) seafood restaurant at one point, as the holes for the seafood tanks are still around. Staff are friendly and helpful. No complaints. Chicken 65 - nice and spicy. It's more of a dry recipe compared to other places. In other words, there isn't much sauce. Served with a basic salad. Goat pepper fry - chunks of goat (bone in) with cilantro, served on a leaf. Pretty tasty. Nice juicy marrow. Cindamani chicken - a bit more sauce than expected. Basically not much different from a chicken curry. In any case, nice and tasty. Friends and I left happy. Would gladly come back. Recommended.

I celebrated my birthday at Sula with my girlfriends and had an amazing time! We made a reservation…read morefor 7:00 PM and were seated right away. The servers took great care of us. ​My favorite dish was the Ragda Samosa Chaat. I actually wanted to order a second one, but I asked one of the lovely servers for a recommendation instead. She suggested the Dahi Puri Chaat, and the layers of flavor were incredible! The fresh yogurt, chutneys, and pomegranate made every bite feel like a party in my mouth. Obviously, the garlic naan and chicken curry also deserve an honorable mention. ​The staff warned us that another party was arriving at 9:00 PM, so we were trying to wrap things up. This made it even more surprising when they brought out a mango-coconut dessert with a candle and sang 'Happy Birthday!' I felt so special. It was a lovely surprise that made the whole experience memorable. Thank you to the Sula team--you made my day!

We were seated by the front, but looking deeper into the restaurant I liked the darker colour tones and wall accents. We tried shared our Dine-Out meals: - Sarson Ke Phool: Good. Broccoli and cauliflower were way more softer than expected, but nice flavours. - Chicken Kondattam: Very good. Still a bit crispy and loved the spices. - Raw Mango Bhel: Good. I really like the flavours and textures in this dish. Just wished it didn't get soggy so fast. - Hyderabadi Murgh: Good. Just a great dish to go with the rice. - Khurmani Kofta: I didn't enjoy this one. I've never had this dish before, but tasted more like a dessert. Maybe something I'm not accustomed to. - Ginger Lamb Biryani: Good. Well made and very fragrant. - Rose Pistachio Tres Leches: OK. It was fine. Not too sweet, but nothing outstanding. - Classic Coconut Payasam: Good. Very simple but comforting. Service was pleasant. No issues came up. Overall, a good meal. I enjoyed most of the dishes, and felt it reasonably priced. I'd consider coming back

Not the most amazing Indian food I've tasted, but overall fairly tasty. I prefer South Indian offerings, but... Had a lamb thali and my wife had a veg thali. Only two dishes on the thali plate, where I would normally expect a couple more. The vegetable salad was a definite weak point, as it was just a few scraps of inexplicably blanched peppers and cucumber. Ample servings of the mains though. Price point was a little higher than I would have thought for a lunch special.

It looked like a small place from the outside but they cater to bigger groups as well - we were a group of 10 that went there on a Sunday night. The restaurant wasn't too crowded. Their food was incredible! I only got one of their cocktails - the mithai wala which came with rose petals and a vodka base. It was delicious, I would recommend! For food, we got their achari chicken from their tandoor menu. It was really good, we went for a medium spice level for it but I think we could have done hot. The flavours were really good and chicken was cooked very well! We also got their kathal tikka (which is basically jackfruit), it's so hard to find that in Vancouver but Hariyali did an incredible job! Everyone on the table were a big fan of it! Their menu is pretty big and we didn't get a lot of their items but I will definitely come back to try more things. It is also pretty affordable! Would recommend a visit!

We felt like kids in a candy store, eager to explore the vibrant, exotic flavours. The mango-infused dishes were a standout! ​The service was impeccable. One server even followed us outside just to hand us cardamom cookies for the road. Many restaurants treat Dine Out as a budget-set menu, but East is East used it to truly showcase their best work. We left with new favorites and a plan to return very soon.
