Palki Restaurant in North Vancouver

Very tasty. A long established neighborhood favourite.

Best Indian Food in North Van for takeout or dine in.

Food was absolutely terrible. There are people on here rating it 5 star??? It was probably the worst cuisine of ever paid for. Reminiscent of a cold tomato soup amd dry over cooked chicken Please don t waste your money and find out for yourself .

Great food and refreshing Mango Lassi! They accommodated us on a last-minute visit, and we truly appreciated their hospitality.

Amazing. Best food we ve had in the greater Vancouver area Vegetarian options: Delightful Food : 5/5 |

One of my favourite places for Indian food. We had the Kofta Dil Bahar, Butter Chicken, Naan, and Vegetable Pakoras. The sauces are super rich and flavourful (we order VV mild with our low heat tolerance and it s perfect). Thank you!

Everything was excellent!

Authentic. Delicious. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Reasonably priced food. I highly recommend.

Really great lunch buffet. $18 per person. Food was tasty and plentiful. Service was attentive and friendly. Would recommend!!

Excellent food and service. Spice level was just right (Medium). Butter chicken was very good but my favourite is beef korma on rice with naan bread.

Good people Fantastic food always!!!

the food is always delicious and the service is fantastic! Vegetarian options: we usually order the vegetable korma and paneer!! Parking: convenient and accessible underground parking after 6pm

The service was incredibly disappointing slow, unorganized, and inattentive. Easily one of the worst experiences I ve had at an Indian restaurant. The old man was really rude. He should be fired.

This was the worst experience I ve ever had at an Indian restaurant. The server was unprofessional, rude, and lacked basic etiquette.

I have been going to Palkis for at least 20 years. I cannot imagine going to any other Indian restaurant on the north shore or anywhere else in the lower mainland for that matter. Over the years I have introduced other people to this excellent restaurant and never has anyone been disappointed. Enough said :)

Worst experience ever had . Food was bitter in taste as if it was 2-3 days prior cooked . Also customer service was not gud . Spent over 48$ worth not even 0$

It was the worst experience I had in my life. The customer service was really worst then I had ever had before. It seems like just throwing the plate on the table. Also, the food taste was very bad even we can eat. Money sent was useless. I never recommend any body to come here.

Wonderful, perfect food for rainy weather.

Service and food were both exceptional.

We order take out from here often. Always delicious and quick. Biryani with a few curries (all are delicious) and naan is our favorite order!

The barbecue tandoor chicken is phenomenally

Delicious food, warm atmosphere, great service. Will definitely be back! The prawn coconut curry was a standout. Lots of good veggie options as well.

Been coming here for over 20 years. As close as it gets to authentic Indian food in the North Shore! Tandoori prawns are

Best restaurant ever. Delicious tandoori wings

The food was absolutely delicious! Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was great. A really nice dinner out!

The best Indian food in northshore

The butter chicken is really good. The chana is meh. The places up the street are better for chana. Naan is good!

By far my favourite restaurant. I ve tried many places and many East Indian restaurants and this one remains to be my favourite. Thank you to the staff and especially the cooks! I never leave unsatisfied.

Great food.

Great food and service

Melt in your mouth lamb in the korma. Delicious saag paneer and aloo gobi. Look forward to trying more dishes. The service was attentive.

Always our go to for Indian food. The butter chicken is great.

Delicious food and nice atmosphere. Would highly recommend the lamb saag!!

This restaurant is ok, not great . They don t have desert in the buffet on weekdays.

Absolutely delicious food! Particularly loved the beef curry. We went for the lunch buffet and were very impressed by the food, atmosphere, and service. Really really enjoyed and would recommend!

Mhmmmm yummy

Everything was amazing! Definitely one of my favorite restaurants on the north shore! Highly recommend.

Hi, We ordered Chicken tikka masala, chicken madras with garlic naan. I was really rooting for the food as we don t have a lot of options here at North shore. As I opened the packages, my face was ridden with so much disappointment. Why do you have to use so much food colouring? I don t understand. Indian spices and ingredients that we use are so good that you all you have to do it maintain the balance. I am so sadly disappointed, really. Please stop using food colouring.

We have been going to this lovely restaurant for years, the food is outstanding and the service is worm and friendly. We have tried other Indian restaurants but we always come back to Palki.

Haven t eaten here for 20+ years. But it s better than ever. Good food was delicious and the service flawless. Thanks for a great dinner!!

Great spot in North Vancouver just off the beaten path. Wonderful options. Great service. Butter chicken Samosa and Garlic Nan are standouts! Happy To return to North Vancouver to visit Palki. Food : 5/5

I m really disappointed with this place after having high expectations because of the reviews and ratings. We went for lunch on a Sunday and there was only buffet available. The options were very limited. Like 2-3 non veg curries, 3 veg curries, rice and 1 dessert. And 1 appetizer too. They took a long time to refill, as we waited staring at empty vessels. There was only 1 server, and it s understandable that she was struggling to do everything on her own. The owner was at the counter, he could ve chipped in to help things move. Because of this, the service was non-existent. Adding to this, owner ended up in an argument over something with a big group of customers and the whole thing was very loud and uncomfortable to look at. This buffet cost us 20.95 and honestly it wasn t worth it; variety or taste wise. Butter chicken sauce was the only thing that tasted good amidst the non-veg curries, and chicken seemed very low-grade and rubbery. Veg curries were alright, but dhal was horrible.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE! Butter chicken was among the best I ve ever had. Atmosphere and ambience amazing - beautifully decorated, really fun, energetic but good-for-dining Indian music, really nice staff, and the prices were surprisingly good, especially given the great quality. I m only in town five days but will probably come back.

Have been coming to the Palki for many years, always good food. No fuss, good service, reliable and consistently good.

The food was delicious, with a fantastic selection of dishes to choose from. I loved that you can customize your spice level to suit your taste. Highly recommended! Vegetarian options: A lot of choice.

My favourite restaurant.

Food was average but the environment and owner was very toxic...

Excellent buffet. Kind staff

This is THE best Indian Restaurant on the North Shore! If you haven t been here, you have to try it!

One of the best indian restaurant we have experienced in a long time. We were visiting family in North Van. from the States, and knew there are hundreds of Indian restaurants in the Vancouver area. But decided to try this place as it was near where we were staying and had many options on the menu. Everything we ordered was absolutely flavorful and delicious! The Chicken Madras was the best we ever had and the lamb dish was succulent. The service was friendly and fast despite them being busy. Highly recommend if you are looking for a good indian restaurant!

Delicious

My wife and I have been coming here for years our favorite Indian food in the area. Worth crossing the border for!

Good food. Good ambience.

Celebrated my dad s birthday at Palki and the food and service were fantastic. There were 12 of us and we got our food quickly and the prices are very reasonable. Will definitely go back.

Great spot. Nice decor, great service, consistently great food.

Great service and great food. My parents love this place and highly recommend the fish tandori

very good i enjoyed consuming your food, misa full

Excellent flavours, lovely service and the best aroma upon walking in!

My white bf loves this place :)))

Very nice staff! It is a very good place for meeting up with your close ones

Been coming here for years. Great food, service and company

Great food, amazing service

Lots of space, quiet, excellent service and not smokey at all. It was great Indian food.

Food was delicious, didn t have to wait forever and ontop of that very respectful and genuine. 5 stars from me, yummmm oh and I m full for a very good price!

The daal Malayans and the Lamb Methi were great ! I ll definitely get the spicy version of the lamb. Good service and as an Indian I definitely thought it was authentic.

Appetizer special menu was a win!

Very good!

We come for every birthday in our family, amazing service always so friendly, great food every time. Just an amazing place to be at.

We have been going to Palki s for years. It s a family favourite. The service and food is always excellent

The food is incredible,the staff are great. If your looking for the best Indian food look no further. Thank you

Beautifully prepared food.

Its been too long since weve eaten at Palki! Had the lunch buffet and were fully satisfied for under $20. Great butter chicken, Tandoori (on the bone), beef curry, dal, variety of veggie dishes and salads, rice, plus naan on the table (bit too tough/oily unfortunately - the only miss). Definitely will be back soon.

Worst customer service!!!!

Worst service ever I do not even like this service

Saturday dinner time, we were surprised that this place is almost empty. We were seated quickly and ordered biryani, two curries and naan bread. We waited a good 15 mins for the food despite how empty this was. Briyani tasted stale, not fresh, as if it were leftover some nights ago. The medium spicy lamb curry was tasteless and slightly overcooked (rubbery, hard to chew). The naan bread was tasteless and burned. The tall male waiter was polite, but very cold. We would not go back to this restaurant for sure.

Hi I just wanna say my experience from palki restaurant and I want to say they talk to customers and delivery drivers in a bad manner and in a bad tone, and this is not true and I am not satisfied with this restaurant at all. And I do not suggest Food : 3/5 |

I recently dined at Palki Restaurant, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The warm, inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home, and the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. The highlight, of course, was the food. Each dish was a delightful explosion of authentic Indian flavors. The tandoori chicken was perfectly cooked, the curries were rich and aromatic, and the naan was freshly baked to perfection. Its clear that the chefs at Palki Restaurant use high-quality ingredients and traditional recipes to create their dishes. Overall, Palki Restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way. Whether youre a fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, I highly recommend this gem in North Vancouver. Ill definitely be returning soon! Parking: Underground Free Parking Lot Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendliness

Worst service ever on Fathers day. The restaurant allowed too many takeout orders and as result service was abysmal for both seated and takeout guests. I waited 1.5hrs for my takeout order, never again. I also noticed there are purchased 5-star reviews with stock images and fake text, for example one reviewer claiming there is a car park or underground parking and using an obvious stock image.

Amazing food. gluten free accommodations well explained. Food amazing!!! Vegetarian options: Lots Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

I love the butter chicken at Palki. The flavor was delicious and it was cooked perfectly. My waiter was very attentive and helpful too! Will visit here again.

Another great meal from Palki!

Really better than common buffet style. Indian food. The chicken and the vegged dishes are amazing. The curry beef is so so, but the Nan is really good. $20 for lunch during the weekdays. A price that is really great to manage in this day of crazy lunch prices. Also license you can get adult bevys.

I was expecting more from a restaurant rated 4.5 on google. Disappointed with most of the food that they had on the buffet menu. Not a bang for your buck for sure

Food took 45 minutes to come out and people who were seated after us had finished their food by the time we were served. There was no apology or explanation for this. The waitress was atrocious and spilled our drinks on the table and then didn t clean them up. There was ice in my drink even though I asked for no ice. Terrible service and wait times. Food was mediocre.

Gluten-free dining done surely!Their Grilled Fish Tikka was mouthwateringly good and perfectly suited for those avoiding gluten.Loved the space totally!

Our second time at palki and again we are stepping out as happy well fed customers.Great service and authentic food as always.One of our favorite Indian restaurant in North Vancouver.

Hygiene was top-notch first of all, and the attentive staff provided excellent service throughout the meal. One of the most delicious Butter Chicken Ive ever tried they serve. What else can make an evening this good!

Best Indian food on the north shore

We drive out from White Rock for our favourite ever Indian food at our Palki. The staff remember us every time, the service is exceptional and the food is the absolute best. Best chicken pakora you can find, best butter chicken & korma you could ever imagine. The owner is lovely, the ambiance is perfect and they take great pride in their art of the most authentic, delicious indian food anywhere. 5 stars +.

Incredible flavors of indian food here in Canada! The non - vegetarian options were a hit, especially the fragrant rice and the eat classic butter chicken. Must visit if you want to eat out of the box!

Very delicious food and a lot of vegetarian options!

Incredible meals and service! Our favourite place for a warm welcome and wonderful authentic dishes.

Nice restaurant, friendly waiters, made the experience very pleasant, all the dishes were delicious and well presented! We recommend the mixed grill platter, the chicken tikka masala and the coconut rice.

A must-visit for Indian cuisine lovers! The vegetarian spread was delicious, especially the paneer makhani. Dont miss out on the rasmalai for a sweet ending. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Recommended!

Hands down best Chicken Jalfrezi this side a 49th parallel Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free Food : 5/5 |

My favorite Indian restaurant!! The curry s are all time as well as all the appetizers I have tried. Friendly enjoyable staff and service.

Food was very good, and the server was very nice and super accommodating. Highly recommend the place. Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options.

Simply the best Indian food in North Vancouver

Muttar paneer - best thing on the table. Lamb briyani - average. Butter chicken - good but too much on the sweet side. Naans - very good. Okra - good but nothing special. Tandoori chicken and fish - sizzling good. Good service for a group of 5 - quick turn overs. Nice table settings.

we had the Curry and Navrattan Korma here, we loved it. Fair prices and cozy atmosphere make it a go-to place for a hearty meal. The Gulab Jamum in the end and it was super delicious!

Food was really really good. Service not so much. Lassi was extremely watered down, jaljeera was a joke. Butter chicken and paneer pakodas- must try

Excellent!

Delicious food and great atmosphere!

If you are a vegan, you wont feel left out. Their Daal is a hearty, flavorful option thats sure to satisfy. And the arrangements are pretty good too! A go to option for a comfortable meal.

Delicious food, great people!

Our go-to for Indian food in North Van. Great food and atmosphere.

Truly great experience! The paneer makhani were delightful and the naan was perfectly fluffy. The mango lassi was a refreshing treat for the ending.

This is my go to place for Indian food on the north shore. Their buffet is a bit more expensive than most but the quality is good. Its freshly made and the meat dishes have a lot of meat. Its unlike other places where you have to strain each spoonful to get something solid. The butter chicken is made with sour cream without any additional thickeners and has choice pieces of chicken and not random parts. I was surprised that they had beef curry. The vegetarian choices like Dal and Vegetable Korma are excellent as well as the fresh naan bread served at your table. The food is not as spicy so you can invite friends. Covid update: Theyre open for a few seats of patio dining. They also have a Thali lunch combo for takeout. Its a really great set with everything. But only available at lunch time. Latest update: The buffet is available again 1130-230 lunch time 18.95 during the week and 20.95 on weekends. There are 3 vegetarian dishes and 3 meat dishes to choose from.

Great restaurant, great food, great service.

Really delicious and vibrant food with attentive and thoughtful service - well definitely be back! Vegetarian options: Many tasty vegetarian dishes, we had dal and saag paneer and they were both very good! Dietary restrictions: Many GF options - they even have a GF gulab jamun.

Always great food and excellent service.

If you like Indian food then you need to try Palki, the staff are incredible and the food is amazing! My family has been eating here for years and we have had delicious meals every visit. As good as the Naan bread, Samosas and butter chicken is great lease try the Tandoori fish, it will be your favorite dish.

Without doubt the best Indian restaurant in Vancouver. The tandoori prawns are always delicious and the service is friendly and entertaining!

Wonderful as always! Dietary restrictions: Im extremely gluten sensitive and Ive never had a reaction. Food : 5/5 |

Great food. Friendly staff with amazing food recommendations.

The appetizers here are TO DIE FOR!! Highly recommend this place.

Service is always perfect. Attentive yet give you space. Food is wonderful.

Amazing food & atmosphere. Highly recommend it, has the indian touch. ..

For a group party, it s not worth it! Too expensive for a very stingy food. You get harassed by them for trying to take your plate so soon. We ate more sauce than meat. One basket of only few pieces of naan shared by 4 or 6 people. Never asked us if we still want some more. 1 serving of beef and another serving of butter chicken for 4 or 6 people. And mind you we were two long tables of many people. We left still hungry. Place is so dingy. Will definitely NOT RECOMMEND!

Delicious every time! Great service

Another wonderful meal with my husband and our friends at Palki. Everything was perfect, great service, nice atmosphere and absolutely delicious food, What more could you ask for.

Chicken Korma was fantastic and naan is the best I ve ever had. Veggie pakoras and saag were also just as delicious. Thanks for a lovely dinner! Vegetarian options: Saag paneer was fantastic

Came into here wanting some Indian food for lunch, and well I was literally surprised with an All You Can Eat lunch for $18.95 before tax for lunch and they had so many choices of curry you can eat. I totally was not expecting this at all, because it wasnt advertised anywhere on their menus, neither was it advertised outside when you walk by it. You gotta know in order to know. I only came here because I work near by and wanted some Indian Food as a craving in the North Shore. To be honest, yes the waiters seem very dismissive and judgemental, but they had the whole gatekeepy vibes, which was a good thing in my eyes. And now I am sharing it with everyone, because they had such a good deal for lunch. Every buffet lunch comes with a basket of Nan, and with a lot of choices of curries, the only one that they didnt present was paneer and I was sad because of it. Paneer is one of favourite choices because CHEEEEESE. LOL. Anyways, I will be back for maybe some more lunch buffets, if I feel like it, and maybe bring some co-workers as well. Pretty good find in the North shore, so yea, its a win for sure.

Everything was excellent! Highly recommend.

Little disappointed in the portion size especially for the mixed grill platter for $35 (shown in the pic). Portion was very small. Taste of food is very good.

Great food and friendly staff with an excellent Indian atmosphere.

Always consistent never fails. I always get the butter chicken and its the best in the province. Yes I said province. Ive eaten at several Indian restaurants. Nice to have this in our backyard.

Amazing Indian food! Some of the best Ive had honestly. Awesome people too.

We had a great experience at Palki! The food was delicious, service was great, and the environment was amazing. We can t wait to come back

Vegetarian options: Vegetable Bryani is excellent! Food

Always have a great time here, service is incredible! Best Indian food in north van!

It is always a pleasure to enjoy our meal at Palki.

Had yet again another amazing meal with 5 star service!! The lamb was delectable !!

The food was so delicious!! Yummy!!. I could not stop eating so I left feeling pleasantly stuffed

We stopped in for a quick dinner and were not disappointed. Service and food was great as usual.

It was our first time trying Indian food and by far it was beyond our expectations. We tried, 6 vegetable Samosas (very fresh),1 onion Bhajia for appetizer,2 Garlic Naan, 1 Butter chicken, and 1 Tandoori mixed grill platter fir the main course( very delicious). Also 2 Mango Lassi for the drink. Service on time, no delay and pretty calm atmosphere. Overall very satisfied. Total paid $113

First time. Absolutely delicious. Will be back.

Excellent food at very reasonable prices. Vegetarian options: Being an Indian restaurant, it does come with a lot of vegetarian options Food : 5/5 |

Love, love, love, Palkis. We come almost every week for our fix and we are partial to their lamb methi, lamb saag, lamb vindaloo, fish tandoori, vegetable biryani and spinach naan. Oh, we love Rahul, too and chai tea. Atmosphere and service are excellent - North Shores hidden gem!

The service was good. The food was delicious and it was nice to see the owners eat their own food as a family (on family day) :) The portions could be bigger. We had the butter chicken, lamb pasanda and lamb vindaloo. Butter chicken was the winner! We also had the garlic naan and the onion cilantro naan; both were delicious.

Tremendous and delicious all rolled into one!

it was AMAZING i love it so much i come here all the time with the fam jam and everyone loves it! it slaps bussin no caps ohio rizz skibidi.

We came for lunch buffet, but it wasnt offered today. We ordered lamb Rogan josh, butter chicken and cod tandoori. Everything was delicious and we hope to come back

Vegetarian options: Saag paneer was great! Food

Got some butter chicken and masala takeout first time. It was excellent, and staff were very nice. The garlic naan is delicious!

Delicious naan, butter chicken and madras chicken!

Best Indian food in the North Shore with excellent service and lovely decor/atmosphere! :)

My wife, family and friends been going to Palki for many years and we love Palki s food. Its Tandoori dishes are excellent and Lamb Korma is certainly worth a visit. The owner/chef Bhupinder is one of the best chefs we have come across in Vancouver. So glad to have Palki in North Vancouver. Vegetarian options: Tandoori vegetables are very tasty and nicely done but not sure why these are more expensive than the tandoori chicken or fish?

I recently ate at Palki. We were charged $40 expecting to get a portion each when we reserved, but were later told we would be served family style. 3 portions were shared between 5-6 people, so most of us went home hungry. Not good value for the price.

Always good food, very tasty and good sized portions. Service very good and restaurant ambience is cozy. Usually get take out but was nice to dine in for a change. I definitely would recommend this north Vancouver restaurant. Vegetarian options: Plenty of choice

Some of the best Indian food around. Very clean a d good service as well. Highly recommended.

A long term fave. Great curries and friendly welcoming people.

We have been coming here for decades and will continue to come here for decades.

The butter chicken there was amazing and the was great

Love this place.

The best Indian food on the north shore and amazing service. They are all so kind and gracious to customers. 10/10.

Vegetarian options: Amazing dal tudka!!!! And mixed grilled. And veggies samosas to die for! Service is always so friendly and attentive. We love this north van gem Food

We love this restaurant! We ve travelled all over India and this is some of the best food anywhere. We particularly love the Butter Chicken but we ve tried almost everything. The service is always excellent. It has a nice contemporary Indian atmosphere. We go here so often we are almost treated like family. If you love Indian food try Palki!

Very good food! Especially if you like spice

Delicious food and excellent service! We love coming to Palkis! Highly recommended! Yummy chai tea too!!!

We have had many great meals at Palki over the years, mostly dinners but we popped in for the lunch buffet yesterday. The food was fantastic, as always, varied selection and nice presentation on the buffet options, the seasoning was so good, I wanna go back again today! Great value, too.

Excellent preparation, feels like homemade food :)

Vegetarian options: Asked for a veggie dish with coconut milk rather then cream. Everything was so delicious! Dietary restrictions: Super accommodating with gluten and dairy free

I ve never been disappointed here, great food and friendly service!!

The BEST Indian food I ve ever had, right at our doorstep in NorthVan! Palki has yet to disappoint. Consistent delicious food and the staff are wonderful! I love coming to Palki in person but also love that when ordered as a take out/delivery it tastes just as good!

Cozy atmosphere and really good food, had the spinach salad

My wife and I went with 2 friends and shared a selection of dishes...all were delicious!

The food was great and served jain vegetarian options, that was delicious and filling. The ambiance and space was great for a date and large group as well.

We enjoyed a quiet atmosphere with cordial service and a lunch buffet and Lassi which surpassed expectations.

Loved everything about Palki! It is officially our new favorite!

Been our only spot for Indian food for 7 years! Server knows us and greets us kindly every time! food is always perfect. Palki is a North Shore gem! Must try!

Ive been a customer for 7 years now, I called on Saturday to make my usual order that I make once a month and was told the delivery time was one hour which was no issue, when I agreed she passed the phone over to a man who then told me it would be an hour and half. They genuinely seemed pleased that I didnt make an order... ridiculous attitude. My partner then checked Uber eats and their time from Palki was 45 mins so to get your food in a reasonable time you have to use Uber and pay their ridiculous fees. I order from Palki because I dont want to use the apps, but that is no issue I wont be ordering again and will stop recommending it to others.

Excellent, as always.

Have been coming here for many years. Never been disappointed

We love this place, always great food, atmosphere and service.

The best Indian food in town!

Really great food. Good portions. Delicious butter chicken, lentils and tandoori prawns.

Amazing food. Wonderful, kind and warm service. We really enjoyed our evening Vegetarian options: Many!! Parking: Underground

Warm and friendly atmosphere. Food is delicious try the Lamb Pasanda.

Most people in my group came here for the all-you-can-eat lunch priced at $20. The selection included different chicken and beef options plus naan bread for the table. However, there are other a la carte options on their menu. I opted for something lighter with 2 vegetable samosas. They were warm with a crispy shell and served with some condiments for dipping. The service was average; no one really checked in on how we were doing, or gave much instruction after we were sat at our table. We did appreciate how not all members in the party had to get the all-you-can-eat, which meant that those with less appetite could order separately at the same table. Would recommend returning for the food!

Great people funny staff

Always so tasty and friendly staff.
