Vij's Restaurant in Vancouver, BC, Canada

 We eat a lot of Indian food!  We have Indian food all over, including frequently in Hyderabad.  We were all impressed with Vij's.  The cooking is excellent and food tastes very fresh.  There are plenty of traditional North India favorites, as well as some unusual dishes like marinated jackfruit and alpaca biryani.  I had red wine braised beef short ribs with kalonji.  Excellent!  Now for the pictures:

                                                        Brulee coconut rice

                                                        more dessert

                                                        Short ribs

                                                        Lamb "popsicles"

                                                        Marinated jack fruit

This is a very fine restaurant and certainly deserves its Michelin Bib Gourmand Award.  The atmosphere is very lively.  Most of the tables had big groups and people were having a fine time!  The restaurant is unassuming from the outside, but follow the scent of incense.
