Indian food is no stranger to the residents of the Lower Mainland, and neither are Indian restaurants. After all, the Indian restaurant scene has been a prominent part of the culture of food in Vancouver. People know where to go to satiate their needs for a lamb vindaloo or chicken curry.

But among the plethora of restaurants and spots to eat Indian food in Vancouver, how do you discern the good from the bad?

Indian food is after all, complex. Not only is it heavily influenced by culture and religion, but the type of soil and region it hails from. It is also quite varied, depending on the region and state. Knowing what type of Indian food you like will help you in choosing your favorite Indian restaurant. If you like Idlis and Dosas, you should opt for an Indian restaurant that specializes in these dishes – staples of South Indian food. If you are of the preference of Butter Chicken or Palak Paneer, your choice should gravitate more towards the palate of North Indian cuisine.

That is why it is important to know where are the best spots to know where Indian cuisine is best served. A restaurant with a skilled set of chefs and owner who is knowledgeable not only of the cuisine but of management is important. Equally important is the customers’ satisfaction. Factors like consistency, helpfulness and accommodation are as important as the quality of the food itself. A meal is not complete without a good service and treatment.

When making your choice of an Indian restaurant in Vancouver, an important consideration should not be the aspect of the restaurant or the number of awards it has received, but the experience you get when you dine in its premises or order take-out.

A mix of herbs, spices and textures, Indian food is definitely not for the faint-hearted. The sights and smells should be a feast to your eyes and taste-buds. Make sure you choose the right spot to indulge in Indian cuisine.
