“ Tried a few Indian restaurants in Victoria, but this has been the best tasting food. They have Street food, Punjabi food and lots of variety. It's a busy restaurant, so you would typically need to wait for your food. Its made fresh! Pav bhaji was amazing. Good service. The staff are hard working and attentive. ”

“ Amazing food, amazing service. I came here once on a whim and now I’m a loyal customer. The menu is huge and has a really great variety of options, a massive vegetarian section included. The seasoning is superb and spice level is perfect. The lady working the front is extremely friendly and attentive, and recognized me quickly! Definitely recommend ordering ahead of time as there is quite a wait during peak periods, which I guess just goes to show how awesome it is!! ”

The owners were so kind and generous — they even added an extra curry for us to try, which ended up being my new favourite. Such a great experience overall. I’ll definitely be back! ”
“ Wow! Best Indian food and chai in Victoria, located in the Hudson Market. Today March 20/25 we ordered two “Chicken Lababdar”, and it was so delicious. Generous portions, nice presentation , and friendly table service. They were given notice today as the “Hudson Market” is restructuring and the vendors have 6 months to find a new home. Keep your eyes open for an empty space, this Indian restaurant is a Victoria gem and we cannot lose them. ”
