By far the best indian food I've ever had. Known throughout the region as exeptional and always beyond the par. Medium heat actually means medium, the spice profile is so profound, the heat does not overpower the spice profile. The curries are all unique and the meat is perfectly cooked so that it shreds but dose not loose structural integrity, which was always a dream i thought could never occur in a curry. We always stop in twice whenever in the vicinity and nothing in my hometown of vancouver, ever compares.
While staying in Penticton we dropped by Lachi for dinner on a Sunday evening. We were seated immediately by a very friendly and helpful staff member. We ordered the Mix Veggie Platter (1/2 order, but lots of food), Dal Makhani, Channa Masala, Jeera Rice, and Peas Pulao. Our server provided recommendations and asked us how spicy we'd like our dishes.
Our appetizer was delivered quickly and was very good. Another server made sure our waters were refilled often. Our main courses were delivered shortly afterward and were delicious.
We were unable to finish everything because we had ordered so much food. However, our server had the rest of our food boxed up along with plastic utensils because we were travelling.
Aside from the food being great, I have to compliment the wonderful service. It was attentive, helpful, and very friendly. Thank you to both of our servers. We will definitely come back to Lachi on our next visit to Penticton. Highly recommended!
What a great place to eat! It is a small place that is tastefully decorated and provides a warm relaxing atmosphere. Cozy without being stifling.
The staff were very welcoming and able to provide suggestions and recommendations for someone with a lack of experience with Indian cuisine.
The last time I had Indian food I ordered a lamb dish and it was mutton older than I was. Needless to say I was hesitant about trying it again.
I had the Rogan Josh and it was amazing! The lamb was young and tender, the spices were delicious. The rice was not dry like some restaurants have. I know rice is rice but it was good. The naan bread was very fresh and quite tasty.
Bottom line, I can't wait to go again.
Freakin yummers. Had the veggie samosas and they were some of the tastiest I've ever had. Great balance with spices. The butter chicken was very good, not the best I ever had. The lamb saag was super tasty tho. Best indian food in the Ok area I've had. Highly recommended!
Next Best To Homemade!. I love Indian food but it's very hard to find truly authentic, delicious Indian food around. I've been to all the Indian restaurants in Penticton and Victoria and I can say the majority of them were awful imitations of Indian food. For someone who has spent her life around people from India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Pakistan, I can say nothing ever tops homemade food! However, Lachi restaurant has a fantastic menu with even better quality food! I've been here several times and have never been disappointed! A testament to how good they are is how full the restaurant always is. I was seated at a table for 6 that had 4 other people there because there was no where else to sit. I had no problem, we all had nice conversation and enjoyed our food. :)
I highly recommend this to anyone who wants authentic Indian cuisine where you get large portions for the price you pay. Fantastic!
Highly Recommended. We are regulars because of the consistently delicious foods we enjoy here. Recommend the Lamb Rogan Josh, Chicken Jalfrezi, and the Chole Bhaure. The Naan is the best I've tasted anywhere in the Province.
Consistenly great!. Whenever I visit family in Penticton, if we're celebrating birthdays, holidays, etc. there must ALWAYS be Lachi's. My personal favourite is the Chicken Korma with a giant piece of fresh garlic naan.
Recent Experience. I'm sorry about you recent experience at our Restaurant. We were extremely busy on Saturday and were short staffed. We just hired new staff and that's what caused the confusion. There was also a big group of customers sitting by the bar and was blocking the view to your table. Once again I sorry about you recent experience at our restaurant and hope you will give us another chance to make it up to you.
Best Indian Food in Penticton. If you want to try excellent Indian food Lachi's is the place to go. Not only are the staff, owner nice and friendly but they give fast service.
My favourite is the Saag, Lamb, Chicken, or even Beef Saag, all I can say is mmm mmm :)
It is always hot and fresh!
Can't go wrong. We go regularly, and usually do the two can dine for 29.99 or the lunch special. The garlic naan is always nice, and so far my favourite is the beef rogan josh; such tender beef! Really good value and tasty food. The service is pleasant but they don't pester you, which is nice.
The food was fantastic and the staff was very knowledgeable and informative. Love the Chai tea to compliment the meal.
Definitely, a must goto Indian restaurant and there are alot of great ones in Penticton. Can't wait to go back and try other dishes!
Some of the best Indian food I've ever had. Prices are fantastic for the portions. Mango chicken had just the right amount of sweetness to curry flavours. The texture of the raita was thicker instead of runny and I loved it.

Wow great flavours and very affordable dining, a definite must try. Spicy Dahl, tandoori shrimp and jeera rice with fresh roti. Friendly staff and the kitchen hit it bang on!
Good Indian takeout. We had lamb jalfrezi, chicken korma, rice and naan - all good. For me the sauces both a bit too sweet, but my wife liked that - so depends on taste I guess. Good portions - enough for lunch tomorrow! Thanks.
The food was incredible! I would definitely come back and recommend them. The food was also done very quickly and not super expensive. I was very impressed
Wow Lachi! I'm happy to say this was the best Indian meal I have ever had. Very impressed. Next time I am in the Okanagan I will definitely be coming back 😀
Amazing Indian food. We ordered the dinner special for 2 and had the Paneer Butter Masala and Lamb Rogan Josh (this lamb dish was SO good!!). The garlic naan bread was also delicious. Love supporting this family establishment.
I have been to Lachi multiple times. It is a favorite for Indian food while in pentiction. Great dishes, food is always very flavorful and great quality and quantity is good also. The garlic nann bread is fantastic!
