Conveniently located…read morenear a Tesla supercharger, we decided this was a perfect spot to stop for lunch on our way back to Vancouver. Decor is clean and modern. Food was tasty and delicious. Meats were cooked perfectly and sauces were just mouthwatering. Portion sizes were perfect and prices were comparable with most other places. The food came out hot and fresh which we liked instead of having some places reheating premade foods. I think this is a solid recommendation for anyone looking for delicious Indian Cuisine at a good value. You can also stop by for their buffet brunches.

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.

Both of us…read moreenjoyed our shared meal choices (and selected heat level was perfect for us) & naan very tasty. However, we didn't clue in right away that we happened to be there on Diwali. So sadly we got there too late to order any dessert when we finished our meal. I do appreciate that neither of us felt rushed to order our meal or enjoy what we had for supper. That was really kind considering the holiday just started. Atmosphere was decent but next time, I would ask to sit away from the window & further into the restaurant (open sign flashing right at head level can trigger migraine issues for me on the wrong day). As I usually comment about accessibility, I should note that my knees surprisingly allowed me to do more stairs than I would normally consider to contend with for any enjoyment of food with a friend. Even then, I found them hard to go back down & definitely glad I wasn't carrying leftovers. So keep in mind this is not an accessible place. As even to reach the desk for food pick-ups would require a person to do stairs. There's plenty of angled street parking available & location to hotels off boardwalk provides opportunity to order takeout.

Little pricy, but very yummy! I would definitely recommend, just know that you have to order rice…read moreon the side
