The lunch\dinner buffet at New India @ the NW corner of Willow and Broadway is pretty good. There is an ala carte menu as well. Nice place with a great view of downtown.

Akbar's Own, Broadway near Cypress, has to-die-for Kashmiri style Indian food.

India Bistro on Davie - across from the Sandman has an excellent lunch buffet. Worth a visit.

Vij's is da best. Roasts his own spices there too.

Sitar in Gastown has been good in the past but I haven't been there is a year or so.

Try Tandoori Palace on Commercial Dr. Take out is best, as it's not the kind of place you want to dine in.

Amazing Butter Chicken and Naan....

Last time I was in Vancouver, I ate at the Chutney Villa on E Broadway. Good food!

'Taste of India' on Robson near Broughton...family owned and very, very good!

They even bought new table clothes for the outdoor tables...

They make poori, which, is difficult to find in many Indian restaurants...they have a few other things I cannot pronounce which are never in other Indian restaurants....great taste...filling...just like eating at my Indian neighbours house.

Original Tandoori King E65th at Fraser and Tandoori King 8017 Fraser right around the corner. Partners had a falling out, so South Fraser got two pretty good Tandoori Places. Like the Original the best.

I concur, Tandoori King is awesome. I too, have a love of Indian Cuisine!

I also like to go to Greens Gourmet Buffet in Kits, as they have a lot of Indian vegetarian dishes there.

Does that mean we can be friends and eat Indian food together and off each other.

Actually another good source of Indian food are any of the Gurdwaras. When they have a function or anything going on anybody can go in and eat, for free. No meat though.

The only two Indian restaurants I've ever been to are Samosa Gardens on Kingsway by Boundary, and Vij's.
Vij's is the better one, but it's more about the dining experience than the actual food, which is pretty good in itself. Always walked away having made friends inside.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Saffron in Burnaby, that place is the bomb(ay)!

 

[Guardian Angel]

What about Sitars in Gastown. I heard it was decent but I never tried it when I lived there. Any comments?

Samosa Garden is export Indian. Owners are followers of Agha Khan Muslim, and the food is more of a West African blend, Kenya I believe.

Not bad food, but tamed down for Caucasian palate. Buffet is fairly mild, even their hot is medium compared to most of the Indian Restaurants.

Sitar is good but they have also Westernized. Most Indian clients I've taken there have enjoyed the food, but most have liked Maurya better.
As a point of interest, not one Indian client I have taken to Touch of India on Robson has liked the food. The previous Indian Consul liked the place so it was used for visitors. Soon as he left they found a new place to eat.
