Delicious!! It was such a big win for our family - kids loved their pasta and we enjoyed some authentic Indian dishes. SO flavourful! The space needs a refresh, but it didn’t spoil our experience though. It seems like the place is run by a young family, would love to see them grow!
I used to love this place, but now it appears to be under new management and the food is absolutely terrible. We ordered the Italian dishes. We paid $17 for a buffalo bocconcini salad that wasn't seasoned and was literally 1 tomato quartered and 5 mini bocconcinis with a sad little pile of spinach leaves in the middle of the plate. The calamari was least terrible thing we had, but it was underseasoned, overbattered, overcooked and bland. The spaghetti carbonara was made with regular bacon and not pancetta and tasted off, and the sauce had separated. It was underseasoned and horribly bland. The worst was the veal scallopini which was dried out, tough and slathered "marsala sauce" in name only. Everything was bland and lacked flavor. I didn't want to complain to the poor server because she was all by herself and dealing with her cranky toddler who was running around the restaurant. I felt really bad for her and didn't want to add to her problems. I definitely won't be back though. This was a very expensive mistake on my part and I regret making the trip all the way to West Van only to be disappointed.
I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the Indian / Italian fusion. My husband had tandoori chicken and I had the Marco Polo pasta. Both were excellent. I think if they would update their decor this place would do so much better! I will definitely return or order out.
Italian and Indian was not an obvious juxtaposition to me, but the restaurant was, in fact excellent! I ordered from the Italian side of the menu and the food was lovely, with rich flavour and excellently prepared.
We were looking forward to a nice dinner and had high expectations because of the high rating. We noticed there was a large gathering happening, but nevertheless we were seated. We ended up waiting 10 minutes at the table just to get our vaccine cards checked and didn't even receive menus or water. After finally ordering, we waited 30-45 minutes and at that point only half the people at our table had even received the drinks they ordered. For some reason the servers were not aware that wine should be served in a glass, so we had no glasses. When we brought attention to our missing drinks, the server came back with one other drink (one person was still missing their drink). If the service was the only issue, we would have stayed. The bigger problem was that the restaurant staff seemed to be having a personal gathering which the staff were more invested in. My advice to the restaurant: close your business on days that you are using your location for a personal party.We ended up leaving hungry and upset. But not without being confronted by members of the personal gathering who albeit were very apologetic, were also holding wine glasses and extremely unprofessional. Luckily a nearby restaurant made our night better. I would not recommend this place.
Excellent food and ambiance. I expected it to be a blend of Italian and Indian cuisine based on the name, but it is not. It offers a complete Indian and Italian menu. I didn't try the Indian food.The lamb rack was cooked to perfection, and the gravy was delectable. Without a doubt, I will suggest this restaurant to anyone looking for Italian cuisine.The only complaint was the delayed service, which could be due to the lamb.
Used to be a wonderful Italian restaurant. Under new management, and it's not remotely the same. Terrible service, place is packed with way too many tables, loud waiters arguing, phone constantly ringing right next to our table, even a young child of one of the staff running around in the back. Used to love it, but unfortunately now I have to say, avoid at all costs.
The 5 stars are based on potential and for the feeling we left with after watching what appeared to be an episode from Faulty Towers or Hells Kitchen. A bad night, the bridge was closed so lots of walk ins and you were clearly unprepared! Better a half full restraunt of happy customers than a full one of disgruntled patrons. The food when it arrived was good, Indian that is, my wife's pasta not so much but add some sauce from one of my curry dishes and wow!The assistant you had was a hindrance not a help, either find some good staff or just do it all yourselves.You're clearly nice people with a beautiful daughter, a highlight was her appearance and her waving us goodbye. I wish you all the success in the world but you need to get organised, make your menu more cohesive and find some good help.
This was the strangest dining experience we have had. The food took ages to arrive. All the couples around us were getting up and leaving before getting their food. We felt bad and stayed. There was a strong burning smell coming from the kitchen at one point. The waitress didn't even bring us water, we had to ask for everything and she had no idea what anything on the menu was. There was also a toddler running barefoot around the restaurant and in the kitchen which is so unsafe for the child. Honestly would not recommend and will not be going back.
Some of the best Indian cuisine we have had in a long time! They seem like a lovely family and can sure cook. We had Dahl, fish and a mushroom pea curry. To die for. We will be back!!
