This was our first dining out experience during our vacation to Vancouver and it did not disappoint! Food was delicious and the service was spectacular. Super nice family run business, everyone was very warm and welcoming, and the food came out fast. Highly recommend!

I ordered from a delivery service online and not knowing the spice level ordered medium. One of the dishes was far to spicy to eat. I called the restaurant directly and they prepared the dishes again in mild and delivered the order themselves very quickly. I was blown away by this level of service. Oh...and the food is awesome as well!! They have earned a new and loyal customer. I'd highly recommend Pawan's Indian Kitchen for the quality of the food and service.

It would be 5 star but the goat curry was meh. Butter chicken, tandoori chicken and butter nan were 5 star!! Will come here again. I didn’t like choley in the thali. Lassi is awesome too.

I had the pleasure of dining at Pawan tonight, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I entered, the warm and inviting ambiance set the stage for a delightful meal. The menu offered a wide variety of traditional Indian dishes, each bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. I particularly enjoyed Channa Masala and veggie rice which was perfectly spiced and cooked to perfection. The flavors were rich and vibrant, leaving a lasting impression. Moreover, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of the dining experience was top-notch. Their knowledge of the menu and willingness to accommodate dietary preferences was commendable. Overall, my visit to exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a taste of authentic Indian cuisine served with warmth and hospitality.

I've been here twice, the first time was with friends and I came here again with my boyfriend. I ordered vegetable pakoras, garlic naan and baingan bharta which was great. My boyfriend ordered a lamb curry. The food is lovely, the service is good and good value for money. I will definitely be back.

Dont judge the book by its cover. The building and board sign are a little shabby on the outside. But the food inside is great. Definitely would come back. The vegtable pakora were crispy and yummy. The Mather panera and rice was fantastic. The Aloo tiki was perfect with the Manga lassi. The service was great. Very helpful and quick. Good job.

amazing quality of food, the butter chicken was delicious, the rice perfectly cooked, the naan perfectly seasoned. the main issue i had was the portioning of the chicken was very meager, there was plenty of sauce which i love but there was only about a single breasts worth of chicken in an entire order, which i needed to order rice and naan seperatly, most other restaurants include. dont get me wrong the food is amazing; but i was suprised by the scarcity and price of the food. the delivery driver was very nice and service was very prompt

In terms of vegan options, this is one of the best restaurants in North Vancouver. Pawans has an entire vegan menu with multiple curries, rice dishes, and sides. We were really pleased to see the menu list various breads as vegan - this can be really hard to find! Prices are fair considering the size of each dish and everything tasted very fresh and full of flavour. Id love to see a tofu or tempeh dish added to the menu, especially since tofu is so great at absorbing flavours from curries. Vegetarian options: Has a separate vegan menu which is great to see, so has lots of vegetarian / vegan dishes. One of the widest selections I have seen in this regard, but there could be some more interesting uses of tofu or tempeh added to the menu. Dietary restrictions: Great for vegans! They have a whole separate menu of vegan options.

I came from winnipeg to BC and found food is really good an tasty. Mango lassi was amazing. Matar paneer and tandoori roti was unltimate

August 22, 2024

It s an awful experience to order food from this place..they put lids of plastic containers in your food ..for these people there is no difference butter naan and garlic naan .. the worst customer service you can ever get is at Pawan s Indian kitchen. Reply to owners response I know plastic containers are used for takedowns Mr owner no restaurant puts lids in a container containing yoghurt ok ..lids are supposed to close the container and not comprise with food safety and Mr owner you really need to get your kitchen checked and ask your cooks what s difference between butter naan and garlic naan ..I ordered garlic naan and got butter naan 0 customer service worst restaurant ever

I ve been ordering here for 9-10 years now and the quality and consistency has been exceptional at Pawan s. Definitely one of my favourite restaurants on the north shore. The portions are also nicely sized so I always have leftovers to enjoy or share. The staff are always very kind and efficient. Love this spot! Dietary restrictions: I have gluten, dairy, nut, and pea allergies and they ve always accommodated me without any issues.

We dined at Pawans during our recent trip to Vancouver. The first thing we felt was the friendly and personable service. Food was served quickly : it was nice and homely just what we wanted after a long flight from Sydney. It is a family owned and run restaurant and that comes through in their personal approach. In addition to good food we also had a great conversation and were very well informed about local attractions . Definitely recommend

Seems fine but the owner will ensure that each and every member of the party is ordering their food. In our case, only 2 of the 4 members of our party wanted to order as the other 2 had eaten elsewhere. They asked us to leave. Note that the restaurant was completely empty. Id understand if it was full but there was no one other than us. I suggest going to Indian Fusion next door if you dont want to be insulted or hassled. Edit in response to owner: Again, we were able to dine perfectly fine at India Fusion Grill next door. Most restaurants do not have a minimum order requirement. There is no cost to the restaurant just having 2 of the 4 people sitting there while the other dine when its empty.

Best Indian food and BEST samosas in North Van by farrrr! So glad to have found this place!

June 22, 2024

Had gone for a quick lunch. Honestly, the food tasted really bland. I ordered chai and it was literally water with brown colour, in spite of asking them prior if it was authentic masala chai. The chicken tikka masala was so really bad, the chicken tasted like metal (there s no better way to describe it tbh). The chaat papdi could use some chopped onions. Overall, not a pleasant experience regards the food but the server was kind. Probably wouldn t go here again.

UPDATE: Now, just 2 hours after eating at Pawans, I have heavy diarrhea. I suspect food poisoning. The heavy waiter was rude. I heard this voice from being me asking if everything was alright -- when I had my mouth full of food, despite there being only 3 other people in the restaurant. He could have waited or approached from in front of me which would have signalled to him that I had my mouth full of food. Then, later, he scared me by coming up behind me AGAIN to tell me the restaurant was closed. Each time, he approached me talked to me from over my left shoulder, forcing me to turn my head uncomfortably. Unprofessional and rude.

This is not an authentic Indian food restaurant. People from other ethnicities could enjoy the food but not if you are an Indian. A Chinese member in our group also didnt find the food palatable, that says something. They seldom asked if we needed anything, like water or other spices like salt or even if the food was good? Like everything these days, restaurant is a bit over priced for what it offers. Will not here again. Toddler seat was not offered either!

December 22, 2023

The tandoori fish was watery , the fish itself and had no taste of any sort.. The order said it would come with rice and salad but we didn t get either of those. The goat curry description said it is cooked in spicy gravy but again it had an oily gravy with no rich flavour as promised. These 2 dishes are expensive. I am disappointed in the taste, the misleading description on the menu, and the quality of the delivery as it had missing items.

Growing up in Surrey and being Indian myself, I ve tried a lot of different Indian restaurants and this has to be one of the best for flavour. Each dish was fresh, the meat and seafood was cooked perfectly, and it didn t feel heavy. The lamb vindaloo was amazing! Everything was very authentic, and the service was great. We will definitely be coming back again! Thanks for a great experience!

December 22, 2023

Very disappointing experience. Based on the google reviews we thought this restaurant would offer some yummy dishes and we were wrong! The rice was undercooked and crunchy, the chicken was so rubbery it was inedible and the samosas were dripping in oil! I don t even know what was in the vegetable pakoras, but all I saw was batter which was gluey and hard. Barely any seasoning at all. Hard to enjoy any aspect of our meal besides the naan. Will go back to our other Indian restaurant next time.

If you re tuned in with good Indian food, you ll be disappointed. The tandoori chicken didn t look nor taste like it was cooked in a tandoor oven. The veggies served with the tandoori chicken were surprisingly tasty. The butter naan smelled plasticy for some odd reason and must ve been coated with vegetable oil as there was no butter flavor. The Dal Makhani was good. Not the best I ve ever had but not the worst either. Same with the chicken tikka masala. Butter paneer was extremely vinegary. Rice was rice. Mango lassi was good but didn t have a natural mango taste to it. Must be a pre-mixed blend they buy. Ambiance was nothing special. When the owner asked if everything was ok I nodded in agreement because that s all it was - just OK. Perhaps I m spoiled with all the high quality Indian food I ve had in Regina? Idk. I have yet to find places that surpass the quality & authenticity the Indian food in that city has to to offer. Kelowna, Toronto, Minneapolis, Florida and now Vancouver all seem to have sub par Indian food compared to Regina despite trying the most highly rated places in each city. I can t explain why. At any rate, I won t be coming back to this place but I wish them well

Went for a quick lunch and ordered their chicken biryani. Honestly, I have NEVER had such a deplorable excuse for a biryani! As a person of Indian descent, and someone who can cook an absolutely awesome biryani, this was TERRIBLE! This was chicken curry topped with rice. It has absolutely nothing even remotely related to a Biryani. The guy tried to tell me it was tailored to their non-Indian palette which was 90%of their business. If that were true, folks don t know what they re eating - and I doubt that! ***re comment from the owner - great misinterpretation! You asked how it was, I gave you my honest opinion. Don t ask if you cannot accept it.

I just ordered Lamb Vindaloo. I am very disappointed. I see many good reviews here so maybe I got a dish that was off, but it was very watery and little flavour in either the lamb or the sauce. Not what I expect from a curry. This is my first order ever from here but I must say it was quite poor. Very disappointed.

Went to Pawans Indian Kitchen after seeing the Valentine lights at Capilano Suspension Bridge. My wife and I had the grilled meat platter, naan bread, and some vegetable pakoras. Reasonably priced and the food was great. We usually like spicy food. We ordered hot but medium would have suited us better. Our server was very friendly and attentive. When we are back in the neighbourhood we will be back.

This is our 2nd takeout order of their delicious Shahi Paneer and Karahi Chicken. We have other options where we live but the layers of flavor, richness of the sauces and intense spice smells don t even come close to Pawan s Indian Kitchen. The orders are large sized and plenty for leftovers the next day. Copious amounts of chicken, onion, and peppers are in the Karahi chicken and the Shahi has tons of paneer. We will def be back. Oh, yeah get the Vegetable Samosas also which are delicious w/ their red dipping sauce too!! We WILL be back

We have been to many Indian restaurants, most recently a highly rated one in London, England. This was even more delicious than that one. Everything was incredibly an amazing mix of flavors.

Absolutely delicious food at this restaurant. We were blown away with how amazing the lunch special was. We highly recommend going for the lunch special because they give you a ton of high quality food for 12 bucks. Waiter was very kind and offered to refill our water many times and apologized for minor delays. By far our favourite indian restaurant in the neighbourhood. Bravo!

We were going to buy vegetables at Persia Foods on Lonsdale and we parked in front of this restaurant Pawan s Indian Kitchen when we came back from buying our vegetables we were placing them in the trunk and this fabulous smell from their restaurant caught our senses. So we went in and give it a try. Well, Chintan was absolutely amazing, he took over and brought us his best dishes and we were in heaven.

I cant eat there food anymore. Butter Chicken. A staple and predictable order for take out. I cant afford to eat this anymore, because Id starve if I did. In the past Id get two meals out of some BC paired with Aloo Gobi, rice and garlic naan. The rice is still good, the naan is still great, the Aloo Gobi is still OK, but just less. The chicken in the butter chicken is a small selection of the unchewable with the unedible with some mystery cut of chicken that Im even thinking it might now be from the inside of the bird. (See photos) But not worth the price and not worth the lack of peace of mind wondering what it is. I do know that my dog isnt as picky as I am. But hell eat strange things when were out for walks. I give them 3 stars not 2 because of the rice and naan
