Chef Abhi's Classic Indian Cuisine — Restaurant in Area E (Thornhill)

Tried Chef Abhi for the 1st time this past Friday for lunch. We were the only 2 people in the restaurant . We had to wait over an hour for an order of vegetable Pakoras and 1 vegetarian dish and 1 roti bread. Well when the pakoras arrived they were so over fried they were almost burnt. They were very oily and loaded with onions. My husband only ate a few because he was very hungry. He said they were horrible. He saved the rest for the dogs. My vegetable dish wasn't much better. The seasoning made my stomach all cramp up. We both left feeling very disappointed and very hungry. The best part of the meal was an okay roti and the rice and costs us about 50.00. We both agreed we'll NEVER go there again! As soon as we got to our car we discovered we had left our cellphone at the table, so we went to go back into the restaurant to get it and the doors were all locked even though it was supposedto be open till 9 PM.

Best Indian food in BC. I’ve lived in Terrace since I was a child and am very disappointed I only discovered Chef’s restaurant in my 20s He’s a very welcoming and accommodating cook with a passion for cooking that is noticeably present in his dishes.

Absolutely excellent food and service. We wanted to visit Chef Abhi's as we hadn't been there before and were looking for a nice place to dine for our anniversary. We were delighted with variety of dishes, details in flavours and thoughtful presentation. Chef Abhi also personally came to all the tables to present the dishes and to greet his guests. When we mentioned that it was our anniversary he very kindly took the time to slip away and pen a quick congratulations and thank you card to us for visiting. A very special consideration that warmed our hearts! Terrace is very fortunate to have many great venues for Indian cuisine, and Chef Abhi's does both Terrace and the fine Indian cuisine community proud. Thank you Chef Abhi and staff! We look forward to...
