So come and join us at 504 Main Street for an unforgettable Indian experience, or take the experience home with you with take-out.
I ordered tandoori fish and the portion size is not good considering 2 people are having it. Called the store about this and all they have to say is you can order from somewhere else, very rude customer service. I paid $18 for this much food
I was amazed by the butter chicken and the lamb saag! So delicious! Ordered the dinner special comes with rice, naang and salad. The staff were friendly and attentive. Easy street parking which is free on Sunday and holidays. I had such a great experience. Will definitely come back again next time visiting this area.
Veg Platter was really good.. it comes with their three chutneys which were highlight of platter.
The food was decent, but our host asked us to pay while our family was still eating because they were closing the till. Never had this happen before, and it is absolutely rude. He took us in 5 mins to 2. We ordered before 2 like he asked. Honestly, just don't let anyone in after 1:45 if this is how you want to treat your customers. Never coming back.
Perhaps the best Indian/Pakistani food in entire BC, and this is coming from someone from Vancouver and very selective when it comes to desi food. I ordered both chicken and lamb curry and man, both were cooked so well and tendered. I would love to comeback but they should consider opening up a restaurant in Vancouver as well.
Just visited this place yesterday after looking at the reviews. I ordered mushroom masala and it tasted like a sugar syrup, Aloo Gobi had so much of oil. Raita again had sugar. So disappointed never going back to this place.
First day it was a takeout order, food was good but they didn’t put any napkins and cutlery with our food(I didn’t knew that we have to ask for it). Next day Dine in experience was great, their chah was the best. We ordered again same evening, but didn’t like their mixed veg. Attached the picture. Another thing which was annoying me when we went to eat there, server was kept touching her hair, I saw her 3 times taking her hair tie off and putting it back on. You are helping customers and touching their food and then kept touching your hair, no she did not wash them. I’m glad she didn’t serve us. But yes I’ll visit them again.
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.
If you are in Penticton and are looking for GOOD indian FOOD, make sure to go here in Laachi!! They have amazingg food and it tastess amazingg!!
Some of the best if not the best Indian cuisine in Penticton its a must
I ordered two butter chickens. I got one and they refused to fix it absolutely hideous. I am so upset never again wouldn t recommend it to anybody.and they hung up on me when I called to let them know that I only got 1
Food was good.
So Rude , the lady there does not even know how to talk with clients.
Reasonable prices, good tasting food, decent portions Parking: there is street parking in front. Food : 5/5 |
The lovely folks at Lachi helped me plan and order enough food for a party of 12, with varying tastes and sensitivities. I highly recommend.
Best Indian food in town! The staff are so friendly and the food is amazing!! Plus their lunch specials are the best!
This place sets the standard for Indian food. I have yet to have a bad meal from here, and Ive been frequenting for many, many years. The lunch special is the perfect amount of food. I always end up with leftovers when I order dinner (cant complain about more butter chicken the next day!). Staff is always friendly, and the new location is amazing.
We have always enjoyed Lachis food but we went the other night for some take-away and it was phenomenal. Better than normal, which has always been delicious. Thanks!! We really enjoyed it.
Favourite Indian restaurant in Penticton. Consistently good food, great combo dishes. Nicely renovated space. Check them out!
Im a regular! Always a treat!
Such an amazing welcoming place to eat
Excellent South Asian cuisine
Ordered take out, had the following issues: - Something really hard was in the pakora. Hurt my wifes tooth. - The chicken in the mango chicken was DISGUSTING. It had some weird strong taste, like it was either bad or undercooked. It was slightly pink inside so might have been the latter. - Ordered two main curries online. Most other Indian restaurants come with rice. This didnt, and nothing on the site says that. I suppose it doesnt say it comes with rice either but getting home and having nothing to eat your curry with is really annoying. - showed up exactly on time (45min after order) and food was on the back counter. Told the host and he took my name. He told me to wait because a big group came up to pay so he was helping them. so I stood back politely waiting but when he was done with them he just stood there... Looking around the room for a long time. Finally someone from the back saw me waiting and came to get the host and they grabbed my food. It was really weird. He didnt go check if it was ready or ask someone else if it was or anything...just....stood there. Food was still warm but not hot so must have been sitting there for a while before i got there too. Some of the food tasted good at least but I cant recommend this place as thats just too many issues. There are much better Indian restaurants around.
Was OK
Taste was wonderful. We will be back. Dietary restrictions: Keto meal, plus heavy cream for coffee. Tasted wonderful. Food : 5/5 |
Too pricey I Can get it cheaper at Ashoka
So good
Quality has declined quite a bit as of my most recent visit. Got the same order as always and the previously excellent food was just about ok. I dunno what changed in the kitchen, but I hope they change it back.
Best saag, and the food was not too oily.
Food was awesome, service was great no worries I will be back for sure with friends
Delicious! Super friendly. Vegetarian options: Amazing veggie options. Food : 4/5 |
Absolutely love the food they serve. Must try the Coconut Naan bread
Great spot for lunch. Lunch menu has appropriate size portions that come with naan, rice, and a small salad for a good price.
I ordered the butter chicken lunch special and it was so delicious! It was also a very good deal for the amount of food you got for the price of only around $13/$14!
The absolute best. When I eat here, my heart is happy.
A wide variety of Indo-Canadian foods made in an authentic East Indian fashion
Ordered takeout. Watched my food sit for ten minutes under the heat lamp. Then no napkins or cutlery. Good food but didnt like eating with my finger.
Served food on a metal prison tray, food portions small, asked for medium spice tasted mild and bland. Nan bread tastes odd
Food was delicious.
The best butter chicken
Were relatively new to Penticton coming from Burnaby but so far this has been the best Indian food weve had here. It really hits the spot. Weve only done take out but the new location looks very posh and inviting.
Dinner special 2 can dine for $33.95 and we were actually full at the end! A good deal. The lamb was tender, chicken was tender, not fatty. Very flavourful, definitely will be back! Can t wait to try more.
Immigrating from the Punjab province in India, owners Surinder and Jaswinder Grewal have made Lachi - Fine Indian Cuisine a local gem since 2009. Newly remodeled location with a cosmopolitan feeling elevates the atmosphere but the same authentic cuisine and warm service everyone enjoys continues! Very much appreciate the new ambiance and stunning menu- it s our Top few in the whole okanagan!
Constantly the best East Indian food around. Nice clean tastefully decorated restaurant. Been coming back for years and our kids first choice when visiting Penticton. Plenty of vegan options.
I ordered full tandoori chicken but they only gave me half I ordered it from skip and payed 24 dollars and just got 4 small pieces of chicken. Very disappointed from Lachi . I always ordered from Lachi but not gonna do again.
New facility. Clean, spacious. Service was fast and food was good. Plenty to continue feasting at home!
Great food at a great price. Best Indian cuisine in Penticton.
My favourite place to eat
Had the dinner for two after a day of climbing, and both were very full afterward. The food was fantastic and came out very quickly, the service was good. The price of the dine for two was incredible. Well definitely come again when were here.
Excellent food!
Loved this place! Delicious authentic cuisine!!
Reasonably priced and would definitely go back. Garlic naan is waaaaay better than any other ones in town.
Friendly service and food was delicious. Ordered take out during the dinner rush, so it did take a while for the order to be ready. Have dined in here before.
Butter chicken and Chilli Chicken was pretty good. Prices not too high.
I had a great time eating delicious food at your restaurant. The servers were committed to great service and were very friendly. I visited here 6 years ago and their food was good, I visit here now their food is way too good.
Vegetarian options: Lots of choices. Food
First time here with friends and family and the food was delicious. Very polite and welcoming staff.
Our meal here was excellent. Served promptly and very hot, we thoroughly enjoyed it. The restaurant is a good size, so not crowded and quiet.
Very delicious! Portion sizes were perfect, food came out in good time.
Fabulous!!!!! The food is as authentic as you can get! There are 5 different spice levels you can choose from. The menu is quite large and the staff are quite willing to help you decide and explain what the dishes are. There is no buffet. Our go-to spot in Penticton for Indian food!
Delicious high quality Indian food for lunch or dinner. Strongly recommend!
Excellent food. We shared the dinner combo deal- perfect amount of food for two people. We will eat here again!
Best Indian food for miles!
Incredible place to visit The food and staff were incredible Food : 5/5
Delicious butter chicken! Poor Mom needs a better helper though.
The food was good. Nothing extraordinary. Reasonably priced.
Underrated!! This place deserves endless customers. Great portion of food. Very tasty. Hardworking staff especially Karanveer,he has shown indeed great customer service and has served us perfectly, answering to all our needs.
Hit this place for lunch based on a recommendation. Lunch was great and less than 15$ which I appreciate. The only thing holding me back for 5 stars as the butter chicken portion was a little light. Would have liked to see more protein in it but overall I m very happy.
Food is fine. But, how can you run out of beer on Sunday, and, other local beer is warm, they dont even know how to freeze the glass! Food
Take out tonight. All hot, delicious and pleasing to the eye.
Great new location! Only a few steps from their original! Great Indian food as always, and friendly staff.nice open seating. I would like to see more Indian style decorations around the rest to make it a bit more interesting. Vegetarian options: Yes they have many veg dishes Kid friendly with wheel chair access
Best Indian food in Penticton
Food tasted ok not great, big issue was only slight warm above room temp, I like my food hot in temperature not room temp. Service was terrible, we got our drinks after our food and appy at the same time as our food. Server only came once to see us after food arrived. We wont ever eat there again.
The butter chicken is really good
Only one complaint butter chicken portions could be a bit bigger
Lachi (Jazz and team) went above and beyond for our large group order (120 people). Their food is delicious and their service to their community is exceptional. Highly recommend!
Legit Indian food! So good, I really enjoyed the Chilli Chicken Food
Penticton now has an authentic Indian restaurant. Great food with an amazing menu. The staff was super friendly but still left us to ourselves. We had a group of 13 with all sorts of dietary issues that Lachi had answers for every one. The different flavors of foods was incredible and they helped us with choosing an array of different meat and meatless dishes. Our group left with very full bellies. I highly recommend this restaurant. Give it a try! Vegetarian options: Delicious! Dietary restrictions: Meatless or dairy free. Theyll accommodate.
Great food.
Most delicious! Ordered for a staff lunch and it was amazing! I will be ordering again. And the veggie samosa was most excellent as well.
We had ordered food to be delivered, time they estimated to arrive was bang on. The gentleman who delivered our food was courteous and friendly. I had the Curry Chicken, it was fresh and absolutely delicious. Best Samosas I have had in in the Valley ! Most definitely will be going back ! Thank you for an amazing meal !
The service and food was great and the atmosphere was warm and calm. I will definitely dine there again.
I ordered 3 spice level butter chicken, was like sweet Filipino spaghetti sauce, maybe0.3/5 spice level. Prices and atmosphere was 10/10 even though spice was non existing.
Seated quickly. Service was prompt. Food was excellent! Prices fair. I love good Indian food and Lachi is amongst the best, most authentic Indian food I have enjoyed. I definitely recommend this restaurant. Food
Hands down the best Indian restaurant in the whole of Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton belt. Absolutely loved their chicken vindaloo and the combo idea is a super hit.
Chat papdi and dahi balls was awesome. But i did asked for tiki with yogurt they said no,the cant add yogurt to tiki. Food
Great food and service :)
Amazing food!! Love the new location!!! Vegetarian options: Great vegi dishes!! Dietary restrictions: All gluten free meals!!!
Best Indian food Ive ever had! Been going here for years and have never had a bad experience. Try the food and youll be hooked. Parking: Usually plenty of street parking Kid-friendliness: Great options for kids like 1-star Butter Chicken or Tandoori Chicken. Kids may even like the chai, which is pretty mellow spice-wise.
Amazing spot in Penticton! Order from here lots, always satisfied with the food and service. Would highly recommend!
Delicious food and friendly service!
They used to be not bad.. but these days they are nuts! bad customer service
my family has been going to lachi for many years now, we re from the coast and we eat here whenever we are in penticton :) everything is amazing, the naan, the sauces are the best!! it s our favorite indian restaurant!
Insanely delicious - beyond expectations!
Arrived on main st looking for lunch and we literally followed the smells to this place! Lunch special Vegetarian 9.95, meat 10.95. Great price for the food. Delicious and quick service !
Wonderful meal! We had a friend with us to order some delicious dishes. Ill be back and would recommend this restaurant to everyone!
Very tasty and large portions for lunch
Best Indian Food & Best Service. Surely Recommend to Taste .
Not much to say, Great food and Service, Thank You!
I like their flavour but would highly suggest to use less of food coloring!
Love the variety of naans to choose from, terrific food and great service. Fantastic experience here.
Amazing food great service If you havent tryed this place you should
Great Indian food. Service was excellent.
Penticton! Youre a lucky town to have this special place. The dishes are quality, flavourful and authentic. Yum.
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!
The food is absolutely delicious!! Ive only been once but whenever Im in town Ill go here.
Awesome food and excellent service as usual
Came back to visit after moving to White Rock and still the best Indian food literally ever. Amazing service and amazing food.
Food wasnt good at all. Nothing for kids. Portions too small...butter chicken had 4 squares of chicken..too much tomato paste... personally didnt like it
Excellent Indian food. Havent had better in penticton.
Always top quality Good and portions are perfect! Pick up was fast and easy - costs reasonable As always. Definitely will return!
On our first day in Penticton, we decided to go to Lachi for lunch. after a delicious meal and leaving the place my wife remembered she left her purse in the store but the staff here has saved it and put it in a safe locker for us to go back and take it they are so honest and trustworthy
Chicken korma was good not great. Not much atmosphere in the restaurant. Appeared shabby and run down.
Probably the best restaurant in town.
Just wow!! Never imagined I would find exemplary Indian cuisine so far away from India. Their chicken curry was perfect. Good vegetarian options too. Very well priced. Will visit again.
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
Just fantastic!
excellent
Awesome lunch specials until 2:30, aloo gobi and paneer in this pic
Really nice food and excellent service.
Amazing food and friendly staff, will be back again!
Vegetarian options: Good variety, Parking: Parking on road was free
Delicious!
Checked out Lachi Fine Indian Cuisine for lunch. They have cheap lunch specials (available until 2:30pm). Their dinner special ($32.95 for 2) also seemed like a great deal. - Aloo gobi adraki ($9.95) - more of a home style, comforting take on aloo gobi. Plenty of rice and the naan (sprinkled with parsley) was fresh. - Lamb saag ($11.95) - lamb was tender and included a couple of chunks. Satisfying, tasty eats at Lachi. Will be back for more next time we re in town.
Great Indian foods. Friendly people and a nicely varied menu. Service is fast,and the food is hot and fresh.
Worst service.
One of the Best Indian food we have had and we live near Delta BC which is pretty much little India. 2nd time here and cant wait till next summer.
Very nice decor. Newly built place. Food was very very tasty. Good choices. Staff was very friendly and were paying attention to all the guests. Even gave a complimentary appetizer as we were waiting for good.
A great surprise with the quality of the food ! It was very authentic and close to roots! The servers were very pleasant and the ambiance was easy going ! We will come back when visiting Penticton next time !
Friendly staff. Enjoyed our food.
Love this amazing ambience of the new Lachi! It always had the best Indian food now it has the best ambience too!!
Great staff, wonderful authentic Indian food. If you haven t been here it should be on your bucket list forsure!!
Good food.... Plenty of vegetarian options.... Pranathe, daal, paneer, naan were good Good location.... Paid street parking.... Restaurants was moved recently to a bigger place, the corner shop, 2 door next to the old one. Reducing 1 star because chai was not good and one of our pure vegetarian friend ordered a paneer dish but he was served with Chicken dish of the same type. He realised it after tasting that. Its a big issue for a religious vegetarian person, but the gentle guy politely returned the item. No apologies from the chef though for sending the wrong item.
Excellent Imfian Cuisine!!!!
The new location is very spacious, clean, and feels modern. The dinner special for 2 is perfect. Love their butter chicken.
Went to Lachi for the first time last night for dinner and was not disappointed! We had the dinner for two which could have easily fed three people. The Aloo Gobi was perfectly spiced and the Lamb Rogan Josh tender and delicious. The fluffy Garlic Naan was one of the best Ive had. They just moved into their new location which is very clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. Will definitely return!
My favourite since it opened. The samosa , chilli chicken, butter chicken, cheese stuffed naan either cheddar mix or paneer. Consistent!! Great every time. Heatness levels available- I choose spicy. Their basmati rice is wonderfully light. The staff are very friendly and deserve five stars with out hesitation
I ordered the dinner special for pickup. It was ready within 25 minutes. The service was sparse with only 1 attending the pickups and phone orders and payments. Very polite indeed. Food was tasty and spicy. Portions worked well. Price was phenomenal at 35 dollars for 2 to dine. My first time ordering takeout and Im pretty sure it wont be the last.
AMAZING
First time Ive been to the new location. The restaurant looks great, very good service and the food is as amazing as ever. I highly recommend anyone check this place out if you have the chance!
Indian food usually doesnt fancy me but this one is an exception. Ordered the lunch combo, big portion, food was flavorful and just the right spiciness. Cant believe its only $12!
Extremely tasty food & very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.
Some of the best indian food in Penticton, hands down! Food is great. A little on the pricy side - wish they would include rice as other restaurants in town do (that are the same price). But overall worth checking out forsure!
Great food but why all the security cameras? a room off the main dining area looks like something out of a military installation .I guess they really want to monitor how much food you re eating.
Excfllent Indian food reasonably price, tasty in or takeout
Delicious food, nice atmosphere!
Im fairly new to Pen and have been looking for an authentic East Indian place for a bit. Lachi is by far the best Ive found here and possibly anywhere....10/10 every single time. Thank you
Love the food
Very nice clean quality food with good taste
Fantastic meal and great service. This place is awesome.
Lachi is awesome. Great prices, fresh food, simply delicious. Service is great and would highly recommend. Their prawn curry and naan are my favorite, would not disappoint.
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.
Best indian food in penticton... try ... u will love the quality
The service was great. Food was exceptional. Kudos to the cook who makes Garlic naans. Naans were so soft and fresh ... great overall experience
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!
AMAZING FOOD! I had the Paneer Butter Masala (asked for spicy) and my partner had the Paneer Chilly (spicy as well). Both dishes were flavourful, good portion sized, and overall a wonderful dining experience. The garlic naan bread was also delicious. We were craving more for days afterwards. Highly recommend. Restaurant staff were attentive, accommodating and friendly.
Good quality food
Wonderful experience from service to food.
Placed a delivery order last night at Lachi. Worst take out I ever had. Ordered 2 butter chicken suppers (not the special) 80 minutes later the delivery guy showed up with chicken that was so over cooked it was like rubber. Not even the sauce tendered it up over night. Aweful. This place is too hit or miss. Will not be dining in or ordering out from Lachi ever again.
Best Indian food Ive ever eaten. Everything was amazing. Service was incredible.
Some of the best Indian food Ive 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. Pictured: shaahi paneer, butter chicken, paneer chili
Came here for lunch special ! Vegetable pakora is the best I ve ever had. We ordered the butter chicken with heat level 3 and for me it was perfect!
The best Indian food the wife and I have had in the last 10 years. In fact, when we come back here to visit relatives, we make sure we have a meal from here.
DELICIOUS! Tandoori comes out sizzling, and the naan varieties are all great!
Tasty
Great Curry Butter Chicken!
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. Cant wait to go back and try other dishes!
Normally love Lachi for take out. Food quality is excellent. Last time the order was botched a bit. Never got our rice and there was some miscommunication about the dinner special. However, they do offer good value and nice curries.
Great taste, really cheap portions.
We ordered karahi Panner and panner Butter Masala today.The naan and rice were good but both Curry were very watery and tasteless. Didnt enjoy the food there..We told the lady waitress but she didnt do anything about it.She just said okay..
Best Indian food in Penticton. Authentic flavours and spices. Great for dine-in and takeout.
Love the food here..hope they stand up against the passport. Am a regular customer and think its the best Indian in the Okanagan.
Excellent!! The food was fantastic! Our server was lovely, he was quiet and efficient, a fantastic experience altogether!
Great food and prices! The dinner special is a great option, cheap and tasty!
Great food. Cant wait to see the new location.
very good
Amazing food amazing service!!.
This is the best saffron rice Ive had was said at the table. And the butter chicken was flavorful and excellent. All dishes were good. Beef was a little tough, and spiciness 3 was a bit hot for us (above medium salsa level).
Made a lunch reservation. Was happy they asked for my vaccine passport and the Food was very good!
Went to Lachine for the first time and the restaurant had an amicable environment and courteous staff. The appetizers were delectable and the main course was sepid and appealing. The portion size was adequate. Garlic Naan and Dal Makhni really stood out and Kulfi at the end hammered the final nail for me.
Always a great lunch especially chicken vindaloo
Just passing through town and amazed by this place. Had the lunch special with butter chicken. Surprised how dark a red the sauce was for butter chicken but it was awesome. I couldn t stop dipping my hearty naan bread in it and wouldn t let go of my spoon. Tender chicken and light rice with a reasonable price. Very impressed. Will stop here again, maybe even on my way back.
Service was perfect! Food was delicious! We will return.
Best Indian food in Penticton by far!
Very tasty food. I would go back for sure.
I rarely give 5 star restaurant reviews. This place is amazing. As a South Asian person, I can vouch for the authenticity of the flavours. The menu has some unique items (like the mango chicken - highly recommended). The Naan is so fluffy, soft and light. Very fresh ingredients, good proportions, and very reasonable prices. The service is also very friendly and efficient. The only con is that they use Styrofoam for take out and that is a travesty. Please increase your prices for a few dollars, I would happily pay extra for that option! Looking forward to our leftovers for tomorrows dinner!! (Full disclosure - I dont know anyone related to this restaurant in any way and this is a completely unbiased review.)
