A
Vij’s
Just off S Granville St, ever-popular Vij’s is the high-water mark of contemporary East Indian cuisine, fusing regional ingredients, subtle global flourishes and classic ethnic dishes to produce an array of innovative flavors. The unique results range from signature wine-marinated ‘lamb popsicles’ to savor-worthy dishes like halibut, mussels and crab in a tomato-ginger curry. The adventurous should also try the paranta : flat breads made with roasted ground crickets. Reservations are not accepted: avoid the queues by hitting Rangoli, the adjoining take-out cafe. Plans were afoot at the time of research to move to a new Cambie St location, so call ahead.

All India Sweets & Restaurant
One of a string of good-value Indian family diners lining Main St’s Punjabi Market area, the All India wins with its impressive all-you-can-eat $10.95 vegetarian buffet, which includes lashings of naan bread and unlimited Indian sweets for dessert. The ambience – chipped 1980s tables and chairs – is nothing to write home about, but the welcome is warm and the food will fill you for a day. Meat dishes are also available from the menu – including goat saag (curry) and an excellent fish masala – but it’s the buffet that lures most esurient noshers.

Chutney Villa
Don’t be surprised to get a hug from the owner when entering this warmly enveloping South Indian restaurant that lures savvy SoMa-ites with its lusciously spiced curries (the lamb poriyal is a favorite), best served with fluffy dosas to mop them up. There’s an outstanding Sunday brunch combo of veggie curries and piping hot Indian coffee, plus a drinks list of bottled Indian beers, on-tap BC brews and fresh lime cordial. Come hungry, expect to share and stay long.
