VIJ’S

Known for its fusion of traditional Indian flavours with local ingredients and contemporary cooking techniques, Vij’s on Vancouver’s posh South Granville strip draws epicures and culinary enthusiasts from around the world. No one would ever call their recipes authentic; executive chef Vikram Vij’s interpretations of contemporary Indian cuisine conjure brightly coloured and intensely flavoured creations and have earned effusive praise from the Food Network to the New York Times. Each night, attentive servers roam with tasty treats from the kitchen – plump B.C. spot prawns sautéed in ghee, jalapeno and cumin seed atop pearl barley pilaf and saag-paneer with Punjabi lentils. The wine list contains a variety of accessible great-value wine options that will perfectly elevate the spicy fare.

Be warned! Arrive early to avoid disappointment. The strict no reservations policy means that hungry patrons can expect to find pretty long lines, especially in the summer months. You’re just going to have to get over it – trust your friends at PINQ, it’s well worth the wait!
