Restaurant
Vij’s
October 9, 2009
Rightly considered one of the world’s preeminent Indian restaurants, Vij’s draws epicures, travelling culinary enthusiasts, and effusive praise from the Food Network to the New York Times. Finely nuanced interpretations of contemporary Indian cuisine conjure brightly coloured, intensely flavoured creations—plump B.C. spot prawns served with halibut and black chickpeas in coconut lemon curry ($28) and saag paneer with lentil curry and chapati ($22) delight. Accessible great-value wine options perfectly elevate the spicy fare. Locals lament the long lines caused by the staunch no reservations policy—get over it. The famous wine-marinated lamb popsicles with creamy fenugreek curry ($26.50) make it worth the wait.
