I'm from Victoria, and had dinner here tonight after visiting an old friend in Duncan. First of all, my meal was absolutely fantastic. The butter chicken and aloo gobi were really delicious and among some of the best local Indian cuisine I've had, and everything was super fresh and hot. The rice and naan were absolutely done perfectly.
I did find it a little pricey, but I left with enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow so given the portion and quality I feel I got my money's worth.
Regarding the service, there was no friendly follow up to ask how my meal was, and I had to get up to ask for a water refill. But more than that, the server just didn't seem happy to be there. I actually felt a bit bad for her.
I do recommend to the owner to hire staff who would be happy to work there, even just one or two experienced servers. That might even lift the spirits of the existing staff. Happy staff make for happy customers, and given the food here is already fantastic, that would make this restaurant a solid 5 star establishment.
That all said, the food was good enough that I look forward to coming back on my next trip up island. I would just be relieved to be greeted by happier servers!
It is one of my favourite restaurants in Duncan.
The food is EXCELLENT> I know whoever is cooking loves their work.
The service is full of kindness and consideration. Rajni is so generous she brings delicious extra treats. The atmosphere is full of colour and warmth with attentive service. Try it you'll love it.
Really tasty Indian well reviewed by all who ate with us there. Great service. Excellent meal ingredients, spice, nan and portions. Clean washrooms. Ample parking. We will visit again.
