Food was ok… nothing to rave about and they REALLY need to consider providing all their staff with some bartender training… charging 10 dollars for some watered down insipid gin martini with an unpitted olive doesn’t mean I’ll be coming back any time soon.

Wow. Absolutely nothing but amazing things to say about this restaurant. It has two sister restaurants as well, Da Tandoor and Chutney. The three of them are simply amazing. I have never had Indian food like this before. My go to is their calamari and the mango chicken dish. It comes hot with fresh naan bread and house rice. Not only is their food out of this world, their service is perfect as well. You can tell their staff really do care about the quality of food and see if they give. I am addicted to this restaurant and hands down would recommend this restaurant to absolutely anyone. Way to go!!!

My Boss took me to lunch here for my first day at my new job. The décor is warm and inviting, and exotic. It smells like great indian spices as soon as you enter. We went during the rush but were seated immediately, and the food was on our table in 10 mins. I ordered the Mango Chicken special and my Boss had the Butter Chicken. The specials come with chick peas, salad, naan, rice, and potatoes on big aluminum plates, very neat. The service was fast and efficient as well and I was not unhappy with my meal. I recommend it for lunch and I’m definitely going to return to try more of the menu.

Very average Indian food with poor service. Cleanliness also leaves a lot to be desired.

Typical indian food with nothing necessarily noteworthy about it. It was a great place to eat years ago, and I’ve gone back more than I should have hoping it will get better, but in fact I leave with more disappointment eat time I go there. The service is horrendous, there kitchen and bar is limited and the last time we are dinner there, we were charged twice for the same crummy meal. Trust me, there are much better indian restaurants out there.

My wife and I ordered the dinner for two. It came with a ton of food. You get to try a bunch of different stuff, and includes a dessert and naan the size of your face. It was absolutely wonderful. The Butter Chicken was one of the best Indian foods I’ve ever had. All of it was fantastic and delicious. From the outside, you might think the place isn’t so nice, but the interior is very cool and the food is fantastic.

We debated were ushered to the bar area to order take out. The server was kind and provided us water while we waited for our food. We ordered chicken tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, and 2 orders of naan. Waiting time: We ordered at 7:43pm. The food was packed up and ready at 8:03pm. The server provided us with cutleries and plates. Portions: Appeared large based on the takeout containers. The naans are large slices. Taste: First impression we got was that the sauce is really red and that the tikka masala has too much sauce and lacking in vegetables. Both plates lack in fragrant spices but did not lack in the heat. Compared to the same plates we order in Vancouver restaurants, this is below average. Both sauces are too tomato based and too runny. The naan tastes fine though.

First of all this is my favourite cuisine and as such i am the most critical as a result. I have eaten indian food in every major city in canada and this is the best i have ever had by a long road. The butter chicken is to die for and the naan is fantastic. The menu has a great deal to offer for any tastes. The vegetarian section is diverse and will satisfy any meat eater too. If you still have room for dessert after you get through the main course, portions are deceiving when they arrive, go for the home-made mango ice cream… soooo good. The service is quite good. Always charming and polite. Smiles are definitely in high style. Definitely worth every penny.

The basics are ok. Decent naan bread, nice chicken tikka that was moist but no exciting flavor that makes you sit up and take notice — ho hum. But the failure was lamb vindaloo — mere tomato soup with scattered lamb chunks floating in it, monotonous flavor. The tomato curry sauce was thin and uninteresting, and if you’d tasted it in isolation you’d hardly guess it was Indian curry. 2 ½ stars but tending towards 2. Sorry guys!

Just had the lamb tikka combo. Absolutely delicious! A very generous portion of lamb, rice, raita, naan, salad, and sauce. The lamb was incredibly tender and infused with fantastic flavour… I wanted more but was stuffed! I will be dreaming of that dish for quite a while. Service was very prompt and friendly. Found this restaurant by chance, since I don’t live in Kelowna(I’m from Vancouver) and would definitely go again the next time I am in town. The only reason why I am not giving it 5 stars is because of my table«adventure». The tables are dressed with lovely tablecloths and topped with a glass top. Not sure if it was a combination of the dishware and the table, but my plate kept sliding around while I was trying to cut my lamb. Quite humorous at times, but slightly annoying. This is an easy fix and would not stand in my way of returning or recommending this restaurant. Prices are reasonable too… would bring friends back.

1st time here, 1st Indian restaurant experience! Loved it, smelled great, full house, they were turning ppl away! Staff was friendly, food was in good time and tasted fantastic. Had Tandoori and Butter Chicken, a cpl of samosas and naan. Will definitely come again if I’m ever in Kelowna for an overnight stay :)

We were looking for Thai food but lucky for us, the restaurant was closed. The reviews of the welcoming staff and excellent food are accurate. We had more than enough food with the Tandorri supper(which came with enough chicken for two plus rice, salad, raita and a nan). We had the pakora appetizer which were hot and delicious(and plentiful). The only disappointment was the vegetable curry which had way too much sauce for the small amount of veggies. Aren’t vegetables cheap enough to load up this dish with more? And the sauce was bland and pasty. the nan bread was excellent. The service was very pleasant and professional and the decore is perfect in creating a feeling of an upscale special place. The prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food.

Very good meal. I had the chicken Tandoori Combo which was a full meal. The rice had some nice subtle tastes and everything else was nicely spiced. Service was a bit slow, but worth the wait. I would certainly come back to try some other dishes.

This restaurant really left a positive impression of my visit to Kelowna. As we were strolling the streets of downtown looking for a decent meal, we stumbled into this place that looked interesting even from the outside — those purple lights definitely catch the eye. Once inside, we were immediately welcomed by the staff. A waitress proceeded to seat us and a few minutes later came back to see if we had any questions(As a side note, one thing I found strange about this place is that it is the first time I see pork dishes listed on an Indian food menu. Not my style indeed, but I wasn’t bothered by it either). We ordered meat dinner for two, which included curried lamb and butter chicken. The curries, rice and butter chicken were delicious, and so was the naan bread and the gulab jamun that accompanied the meal for dessert. The portions are very generous, we were full(very full!) after the meal. Our amazing dinner and service came for a very reasonable price — about $ 40 bucks for the meal for two. In any case, I’d rate as follows: Ambience, 5 stars(quite, intimate restaurant), decoration 5 stars(loved the lighting that changes colour), service 5 stars(the waitress was very attentive and made excellent recommendations). I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

I don’t throw the 5’s around easily. Well done restaurant, with good service food, menu, good pricing, good service. Everyone like Indian food and this place does it well! Spiced properly, with good portions. The Nan breads are excellent. Visited on a Tuesday and got the last table, so may have to make a reservation… Maybe the best restaurant in Kelowna… All things considered!

I really enjoyed this. Delicious Tandoori chicken. Garlic nan. Mango lassi. Reasonable price, plus an upstairs patio. I would re-jig my schedule anytime to get a chance for dinner here!

This has been our fave Indian place for a long time, every other Indian experience since here has been disappointing. In all the years we’ve been going we’ve never experienced«microwaved chicken» as in Vanessa G’s review. Some of our favourite dishes are chicken coconut(slightly sweet with nice flakes of coconut in a yellow curry sauce with moist chunks of chicken), eggplant bhartha(tastes of roasted deliciousness), prawn saag(ok, this one looks so gross — but it tastes so good, big juicy prawns), navrattan korma(veggies and cashews in a very creamy sauce, no low fat here) — each of these dishes is amazingly spiced and the heat is dependent on your request, we prefer medium. All of their naan is great, we prefer the garlic — yum! The samosas are solid, but nothing spectacular. The calamari is perfectly spiced, just a little heat served with some great chutney; they were not too chewy, they were halfway between moist and crispy, I would have preferred them crispier — but I still really liked them and would order again. If you come here on the night of a concert, etc. give yourself plenty of time — they get really busy. The restaurant has undergone recent upgrades to the dining area, it is appropriately decorated with a slightly upscale but comfortable theme, it has better than average lighting and the table spacing is good. Nice enough for a first date, but prepared to share if dining for dinner; they serve most items family style so it’s best to pick a few. They have a nice selection of local and international wines by the glass and half carafe, etc. The wait staff are always willing to help, and they really seem to know the menu so don’t be afraid to ask for advice.

This place is ok if your like your chicken to be microwaved and then served onto a heated plate. Fresh it is not, the bread and rice is if its busy enough. The flavors in our 2 curries where ok, but nothing to write home about. Don’t leave tips for take out, it just goes to the owner.

I love Indian food and I can honestly say this place is pretty good. There are plenty of Indian restaurants in Kelowna but this is my go-to place. Great food and great service for a great price.

This rates as the top indian food I’ve eaten yet. A lucky find in Kelowna. Surprisingly quiet for a Sunday dinner. The critical claim you’ll find searing online for this place didn’t disappoint. Plenty of vegge options — this has apparently won best vegetarian restaurant quite a few years in a row. Now I know why!
