Next we had a Veggie Korma with small pieces of paneer, this was a hit because the flavours sang. Paired with their thin crispy naan and we experienced nirvana. The palak paneer was plentiful and well spiced. We had two naan, plain and garlic. Wow! The garlic is amazing! The Keema lamb stuffed naan was very nice, thicker than the plain obviously but fluffy with a nice bite. I wished I had some chutney to accentuate the lamb. I missed the baby peas that is in most Keemas. We were the first to arrive at lunch time but we saw a steady stream of people coming to dine or take out. Only one waitress who seemed to handle it all in stride. An average clean and spacious space.

Top quality and fresh ingredients. Lots of vegetarian choices! Grest for eat in or take out.read more

Nikita did an awesome job We loved pretty everything including the virgin mojitos, naans, papdi chaat , hariali paneer and the tandoori lamb chops.

We were visiting from Seattle and stopped here for lunch. The combination of authentic Punjabi food…read morecombined with an upscale modern ambiance is not something we get in Seattle so I am absolutely blown away. We ordered Paneer Tikka, Channa Bhatura and Amritsari Kulcha along with Chicken Noodles for the kids. Everything was really good. We particularly like Channa Bhatura because Seattle hasn't been able to get this dish right. Staff was exceptionally nice and accommodating as well. Food came out fast. The only time we had to wait was to get the check. Very highly recommended if you like Punjabi food and are visiting Vancouver.

I ordered the masala chicken with naan bread. The server asked if we wanted naan or rice, so I…read morethought it came with it, but the naan is an extra $2.5, which is ok. They gave two slices of naan bread. The masala chicken is good, but the portion is smaller than other places. The restaurant is quite small with large tables. You have to ring the bell to call the staff as they are preparing food at the back. Overall, it's not bad.

I came here with 3 friends for dinner. It was our first time and we found the restaurant from…read moreinternet searches. The location is central and it was easy to find street parking on Main Street. Even though it was a Saturday, we were the only table for most of the evening. We were a bit anxious because of the lack of customers; however, there were delivery drivers picking up orders regularly, so it looks like most people did not dine in. The place is clean and seating was comfortable. There is a bell on the table for us to call the server when we were ready to order. We ordered the Lamb Shan-e-Babur that serves 2, the Prawn Coconut, and the Chicken Karahi. The dishes do not come with any rice or naan, so we had 2 orders of rice and 2 orders of naan. Even though the rice portion was generous, we still found it quite pricy. Each of us was given a bottle of water (Pure Life), unnecessary use of plastic is not something that I like to see. And even worse was the surprise when we got the bill that there was a charge for it! The food was delivered by a robot. The portion was reasonable and the taste was good. The lamb was well cooked and tender, the prawns tasted very fresh, and the chicken had the perfect taste, the spice level was just right for all of us. The only thing that was a problem was there were some small sharp broken pieces of bone in the Chicken Karahi, my friend had a painful bite when she thought she was only having the sauce on rice. I would come back for the taste of the food, but I will definitely turn down the bottled water.

I want to start this review by giving a big shoutout to Pemba who was our server, he was so kind and took such good care of us and recommended really good items based on what we wanted. Everything I tried from here was 10/10! Some stand out items - :: Bombay pomfret fry - OH! The masala and coating on this was sooo good we were sucking on the bones till the very end. Such a great appetizer! :: Lasooni palak burrata - I was a little apprehensive about this at first because burrata and palak didn't seem like something I would want to try but I was wrong! This was one of my favourite dishes. It was such a delicious fusion item. For dessert, I would recommend getting their soan papdi malai khwaab and their malai ghewar. Not too sweet, just perfect. For drinks, aam pana with gin is the way to go. I really cannot wait to come back and order everything again!

I started a "dinner club" with two good friends, and I got to choose the first place to dine at…read more Our aim is to explore new restaurants and/or new cuisines, and since I've heard great things about this Indian restaurant and I'm unfamiliar with this cuisine, I chose Desi Lounge as our inaugural place. I made reservations for us for 4pm, so as to take advantage of their Happy Hour. We went earlier today (a Wednesday) and the place was empty at 4pm. I think it fills up later, for dinner. (I still advise making reservations as you never really know if it's going to be busy). Right off the bat, we were blown away by the interior. It is gorgeous! Small, but gorgeous. The murals, the chandeliers, the bar....and omg, the bathrooms. If you visit, you MUST check out the bathrooms. They have the most fabulous sinks I have ever seen. They didn't have a large selection of HH offerings, unfortunately, but what they did have was amazingly good. My friends who were extremely knowledgeable on Indian cuisine ordered for us, and we shared 3 different small plates (tandoori vegetable momos, cochin cauliflower bites, and some sort of delicious fried onions), and 2 desserts (soan paid malai khwaab, and foxtail millet pudding). And just...wow, everything was SO SO good. The three appetizers were so flavorful and the desserts, unlike anything I've ever had before and simply delicious. We also had drinks (but, of course!). One friend had a mango lassi which she loved, one friend had a high ball which she loved, and I had a mango mojito which I loved. (See a pattern? lol). All was great. Our server, Leesa (not sure of spelling) was so incredibly personable and lovely, and a gentleman I gather is the owner came by twice to make sure everything was okay. We felt like VIPs, with all the care and attention we got. Seriously, the folks here could not be nicer. I'm already planning on bringing my two daughters here. I know they'll love this place. Heck, anyone would love this place. My friends and I all plan on returning. Great great place!
