This restaurant makes the best south Indian food. We go all the way from Abbotsford to Vancouver just to eat this food, it's so worth it! And the owner is friendly. The chef are excellent too! The food taste just like food from Indian.
Loved the food, the taste, perfectly spiced, portion size is good, loved the thali concept. Overall would definitely recommend friends and surely will visit again to our next trip in Vancouver.

This is a small Indian restaurant located near the intersection between Broadway and Main. In addition to their regular menu, which consists of a pretty extensive selection of curries and various south Indian dishes, they also offer a buffet and lunch specials. I had their Butter Chicken from their lunch specials as well as a Kutto Rotti with Mutton. The food was quite tasty and reasonably priced for the portions. The server I had was a bit curt, but also fairly attentive. If you enjoy Indian food, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out.
Lunch Special Butter Chicken ($11.99):
3.5/5
This came with rice, pappadam, raita, dhal curry, as well as 3 chutneys (apple, tomato, and coconut). The curry wasn't my favourite personally: it was completely salty in flavour, and lacking in some of the sweetness/tanginess that I prefer. The pieces of chicken was also a bit on the dry side; however, the portion was pretty generous for a lunch serving. I also really enjoyed the pappadam, which was like a crispy, savoury wafer. The basmati rice also stood up well to the curry. The chutneys were a nice touch: I liked the apple and the tomato; I was not a big fan of the coconut however, which was a bit too salty and lacking in fragrance.
Kutto Rotti, Mutton ($12):
4/5
This was pieces of bread that's cooked with various spices, egg, and lamb. I really enjoyed this: I guess it's kind of similar to chopped up pieces of noodles. It was very flavourful, with a nice bit of heat. I did find the lamb pieces to be a bit small, but reasonably tender.
Summary:
Food: 4/5
Price: 4/5
Service: 3.5/5
Overall: 4/5
Recommendations: Kutto Rotti
Had simple Dosas and Idly and was happy about quality and taste. Service was slow but maybe due to peak time we went. Need to visit again to check out other dishes in the menu.
Location: Main Street & Broadway, 99 B-line straight to Main Street
Ambience : Nice, few servers only
Food: I tried Idli, Medu Vada, Daal Vada, Masala Dosa, Tamarind rice; Kothu Rotti. All of the items were very very tasty. Of all, tamarind rice was THE BEST.
*A must try place to enjoy South - Indian delicacies
Chutney Villa is located in the central part of the city, just off Main and Broadway. There wasn’t a parking lot and only paid meter parking, which kinda sucked because that area is always busy and hard to find spots. But since we got there right before the dinner rush, we found a parking spot nearby.
Our noses were greeted right away with aromatic spices! The restaurant was also clean and well maintained.
We just arrived in Vancouver, this was the first place we choose to have food in. I was really craving dosa, so I ordered a plain dosa for myself and shared an idli. Both the dishes were perfectly made and were served to us on time. The sever was very interactive and honest about how the food was cooked as we were all vegetarians.
My boyfriend and I have been here for DineOut Vancouver 2017 as well as with their regular menu. We've had the
Onion Bhaji (Onion rings, Indian style)
Aachi Varavul (Cauliflower fried in a crunchy, peppery, rice and lentil batter)
Chicken Briyani
Mutton Kothu Rotti
All amazing and delicious. They also have a great lunch deal. This place is amazing!!
Walk in through a small door on a busy street and you'll be greeted by a clean restaurant with occasional sounds of strong chopping. Chutney Villa is a place for south Indians if they want home away from home. The best thing on their menu is a dessert, 'Kesari'. ('Halwa' for north Indians with a twist). You ask for spicy and you'll see quite a number of green chillies in your food, which makes it more than authentic. Don't ask for extra hot unless you eat raw green chillies. Just the way, we spice loving creatures like.
Cons: no parking around this restaurant. Basically on the street, but it's a busy street and you probably will have to walk down from the next block if you are really in mood for some south-Indian. But even if it's raining and you have to walk a block, it's kinda worth it if you make the right choice.
PS: Had the Masala uttapum with a lot of green chillies. Amazing experience and food.
Such amazing food. Best service and the food is always great. The food tastes just like how it is cooked at home. They could even accommodate many people with fast service. Overall, it is a great restaurant.
Asked for authentic spicy. Got authentic spicy. It's south Indian/Sri Lankan cuisine so don't expect butter chicken. Surprise hit: roti canai
Chutney Villa in Mount Pleasant has been a restaurant that I have been going to for dine-in and take-out Southern Indian Cuisine. Located just off of West Broadway and Cambie, the restaurant has been open for many years and has received recognition by Vancouver Magazine and the Georgia Straight. It’s a casual eatery with honest-to-goodness South Indian food featuring rich, deeply-spiced curries and crisp, crepe-like dosas.
