VARSHA INDIAN KITCHEN REVIEWS

This place was awesome! We went in very hungry and the food was amazing. The coconut curry mussels were super and the mom’s plate to share was just perfect for 5 of us. The butter chicken was smooth and delicious and the naan was perfect for dipping in the terrific sauces. Check it out.

This was our first taste of Indian cuisine. We were visiting Victoria and sightseeing in Chinatown. We had decided to try authentic cuisine from places never experienced. It was delicious and the waitresses were very friendly and helpful in our selections. Highly recommend.

We were there for dinner yesterday and food was really good. We ordered veg pakora, dal tadaka, kadahi paneer - recommended by them and malai kofta. Everything was great taste and food quality and rice included with it. We also ordered rotis and it could be better but I was happy to eat great Indian food in Victoria.

ROYAL SPICE INDIAN CUISINE REVIEWS

A pleasant surprise! Full flavours, full portions, and for a great price! Kids menu items are excellent - big and yet still unique with the butter chicken poutine and masala fries. My wife and I shared the pomegranate curry - plenty for us both (plus eating what the kids counted finish). Salad was also a large portion and very fresh with a hint of spice added. We were staying across the road at the hotel and gave this a try - will remember this place.

I'm in love for this restaurant. The food tastes amazing. My favorite plate is the Gobhi Garlic. They have amazing options of curry and bread.

We dined here twice during our stay in Victoria. It's located about 3km from the city center, but it's worth the drive. Parking is available in the front. It can get quite busy as locals frequent this place for dine in and take out.

SIZZLING TANDOOR VICTORIA REVIEWS

Found this place looking online and it definitely did not disappoint! Service was impeccable, everyone we interacted with was very lovely and attentive. We ordered the butter chicken poutine, lamb korma, mixed tandoor, garlic and cheese naan, and onion and cilantro naan, EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!!!!!! Food came out fast, was very hot and very fresh. If we lived near by, would 1000% be back and recommend to EVERYONE.

This indian cuisine is so delightful! Amazing customer service. The washrooms are clean and the restaurant itself has a wonderful ambience. Our server was Muskaan and she was an amazing server! The tea and the mango desserts are definitely a try.

Absolutely amazing Butter chicken! My friends and I had the same. Portions were just perfect, we all took some home. Highly recommend this place to anyone who authentic Indian food. Can't wait to go back and try something else when we visit Victoria. We also noticed a ton of take out orders while we were there. Let me know when you open a restaurant on the mainland.
