Passed by Mehfil today, decided to drop in.
Excellent meal for $12 dollars!

+1 for Tandoori Kona in Richmond. Lamb biriyani is my favorite.

Samosa garden and Bombay Beat
Both hands down and both have ET book coupons ;)

gonna go to tandoori kona tomorrow.

Had an epic meal at Green Lettuce today. Was really, really good and portions were good also. Prices were very fair, and their desserts were awesome. I really liked the deep fried banana w/ Ice cream :sweetjesus:

I had sweet and sour chicken, manchurian chicken, garlic fish, green beans, spring rolls and the Deep friend Banana with ice cream. Was so good, my first time going there. Locations in Surrey and South Van. You guys need to check it out :D I think they call their food 'chinese style indian food' .. its really good.

Next time I go I am definitely trying their lettuce wraps and chow mein (which are amazing from what I hear).

good man, I went on saturday too,

had 3 plates of that shit, I couldnt even get out of my seat

I also recommend Tandoori Kona. So popular among my coworkers in Richmond.

for Tandoori Kona.. i heard their portions are HUGE if you get take out.. no wonder not many people dine in .. LOL... but the food is top notch.. love it there.

Was gonna post in here to write almost exactly the same thing!
Thank'd ya :alonehappy:

me and my friend had a total of 9 plates :lol
my asshole killed me when I got home


I'm stoked to try out Royal Flavours Restaurant & Lounge (King George & 75th) tomorrow--I've been told it's really good :D

If you order take out during lunch though, give them like 30 mins to make it

hnggghhh ... probably the nicest indian restaurant I've ever been inside! Apparently they're having some type of promotion on the van eats.ca website but it won't be up till april 11?

Lol wut? 14 bucks for 7 courses....

PM, text, whatsapp me when the package is out.

Will pick one up, now to find someone to go with me :alone:

Went to Chutney Villa today for dinner (in my hipster neighbourhood of course.) :fullofwin:

Ordered the following dishes:

• Nandu Puttu - Tender crab tossed with coconut, roasted spices, and a hint of lime. This dish somehow reminds me of Vietnamese spring roll filling haha! Ask for an extra lime or two if you want that extra zing in this dish.
• Fish Pakora - Deep fried fish with ginger, garlic paste and chilli powder. Light, fluffy batter with generous servings of fish. Best fish pakora I've had and not fried in old oil.
• Paneer Curry (thali) - Paneer and vegetables cooked in a tamarind based curry sauce. Their paneer is SO light and not overwhelming - by far the best I've had!
• Seafood Kothu Rotti - I can't explain this one but this was an awesome dish.
• Various chutneys and sauces - Made fresh and I absolutely enjoyed all of them. You get an assortment of 2 savoury and 2 sweet chutneys. I don't remember which ones you get but one was a coconut curry chutney, the other I don't recall. The sweet ones were a tomato and apple chutney. So awesome! Two of our dishes came with other sauces and the yogurt sauce that came with the rotti and curry- the fucking BOMB!

The food was absolutely delicious. I haven't had southern Indian food before and this restaurant stood out. Service was somewhat sparse but expected. The owner is pretty fun and loves to chat about her food and share her stories. All the waitresses here spoke perfect English.

Food - 9/10. Read above. I docked one mark off because I personally felt that they held back on the use of spices. Don't get me wrong. The flavours are there but when they ask you which level of spiciness you want, a mild would be practically nothing. A medium would be mild, and a hot would be a medium and so forth. Why they do this, I don't know. Perhaps to cater to the local clientele? Regardless, I feel that they shouldn't hold back in the future. I was ready to sweat off my dinner and let my tongue dance.

Service - 7/10. Food took a while and they don't really check up on you often enough. I felt that they catered to some personal customers first as opposed to us second-class diners but whatever. Not a deal breaker for me.

Value - 10/10. Each item we ordered, we had to pack close to, if not more than half to go. Dinner was shared between myself and a lady friend.

Highly recommended if you're in the area and feeling adventerous. The parking sucks because it's paid street parking only and/or residential/business only. Typical Main Street scene. Ride your fixie or take the bus instead. Go in with an open mind and don't be afraid to inquire about their food. They are proud of it. Accepts cash, credit, and debit.

^ That's the place that's really close to Congee Noodle House right?... I've been meaning to try that place for a while now ... with your extra urging I will make an attempt next week! :)

really? whenever i go there for a lunch its packed out the door. dinners tend to be a bit quieter but usually more than half of the restaurant is full i find.

Yup! It's right on the corner! :)

try mayura for lunch (buffet is better than any other place i've been to in Vancouver, think $14-15). Near boradway/granville
also india bistro, (haven't been thr for a while) bbq/tandoori chicken on sizzling plate was quite good. On Davie,around bute




you might also want to try Dosa, is south indian food. South indian food is primarily based on rice/lentils and coconut. thr's a place on kingsway /fraser i believe

i have yet to taste butter chicken that is remotely authentic in Vancouver/toronto. Most places make it quite sweet :S, also chicken needs to be bbq'ed before its put into butter chicken, not so anywhere here . Anybody knows good place for butter chicken?

kingway and knight i think, unless theres another one.

and yeah they're supposed to use tandoori chicken in butter chicken, but they usually just use chicken breast.

House of Dosas is the place you guys are talking about.

Never heard that before.

You guys should checkout those Indian meat shops they sell marinated Butter and Tandoori chicken for cheap. Awesome on the BBQ.

manic, u ant brown enuff... jk..

just google authentic butter chicken. chicken needs to be prepared/marinated separately, (tandoori chicken is used most places) bbq'ed or grilled, then in the end mated with butter chicken sauce.

im heading to india next month, will take pics for u :whistle:
