Feature Review  
 

Vancouver's Main Street area is undoubtedly the best place in the city for authentic Indian cuisine, and Del-Hi Darbar is no exception. First impressions count, and it's definitely a good sign when many of the other diners in the restaurant share the same ethnicity as the kind of food that is being served. It's also a nice touch when every table sports a beautiful freshly cut rose, and is resplendent with spotless linen.

If you want spicy, they've got it, but they also have a remarkably large menu that includes everything from mulligatawny soup to lamb vindaloo. Their vegetable bhojan is a traditional Indian vegetarian meal, served in thalt (steel platter) that includes lentil soup, papadums, vegetables, daal, pullao rice, raita, aloo paratha, and kheer (desert). Our table tried the vegetable pakora (vegetables battered and deep fried), chicken makhni (boneless chicken pieces cooked in a sauce made with butter, almonds and cashews), prawn masala (prawns marinated and cooked with onions, tomatoes, mushrooms and dry spices), dal maharani (black lentils and red beans, simmered with spices overnight), as well as some excellent mango chutney.?

All the dishes were mouth-watering, and left us clamoring for more. Del-Hi Darbar a great place to check out if you're looking for some tasty Indian food in Vancouver!
