Krsma Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Vancouver

HONEST REVIEWER!!

The service was good hence we were the ONLY table seated.

Upon walking in saw the chef eating in the corner, i guess he kinda knew nobody was coming in at the hour we visited.

The options were a lot. Kind of puzzled why they also did not put on their title that they serve chinese dishes too.

Upon ordering, we got chicken tandoori, dhal turka, bone in butter chicken, paratha, rice with peas & “signature” mutton biryani. (Yes we order a lot) Spent a solid $90 for everything, excluding the tip.

Chicken tandoori 3/5: not bad in flavour, came out nice and hot, not too spicy, had lots of components on top of the dish. It came out sizzling.

Dhal turka 1/5 : presentation was nice, it was in this cute little bucket… appreciated that. Now for the taste… first inital bite was good, slightly good in flavour but if you take a bites it keeps getting saltier and saltier and that destroyed the whole dish. I asked for it to be changed, i am 100% sure they just put it back on the pot and added some more water 😂, it didnt have the gooey consistency… it came out looking soupy. Chef was feeling lazy that day.

Signature mutton biryani 2/5: presentation was typical for biryani, the first bite was good but it was sooo salty that you can also taste crisps of salt bits on the rice. SALT destroyed the dish i asked for it to be returned, and changed. It came out okay, not salty anymore. Dont get me wrong the flavor was good and the color on the rice was pretty. Looks can be deceiving.

Butter chicken bone in 1/5: very very sweet for a butter chicken, and its much darker in colour. It had a ketchup’s consistency. I dont know if it depends in different parts of india but this butter chicken does not taste like the others ive ever tasted. It was not delicious.

Fyi- After we received our tandoori… it took 15 mins later to receive the rest of the dishes. Its too long for being the only table in the restaurant.

One of the lessons here is to never trust AD’s or even reviews who post 5 star, usually businesses hire or ask people they know to put these good reviews. Its unfair to guests visiting restaurants who have HIGH expectations and end up leaving with a disappointment. Thats why i make these reviews so i can be honest and be true.

Food could have been good, we were the only ones seated. Imagine having 6 + tables or a line up, how will the food taste then? …

Salt ruined it for us, and its quite a mediocre place. Wish it was better. And for this we wont be...

Good food but worse service ever! I made resos a week before going because we are a large party of 10 coming for an early dinner at 4pm. When I arrived they didn't have our table set up and had sat guests in the area that could accommodate us; so they asked them to move to another area. The female waiter took one of my friend's order and then walked away to serve others. There were only 2 other tables, a 3 top and a 4 top. A friend had to flag down another server to take his order. The male waiter did but then walked away to make drinks. We tried to get the female writer's attention since she was the one taking orders orginally, but she'd rather clean tables when there were no guest waiting and when there were clean available tables. No sense of priority or organization. At this point 1st friend had placed their order 15 min ago. Female waiter finally came to take my order, as soon as I tell her what I wanted, someone came through the door for a pick up. She interrupted me and told me to wait and went to help the pick up order. When she returned, I had to repeat everything which she got wrong. She goes away, without taking orders from the rest of the table, AGAIN! Fast-forward to when the food came, they couldnt remember who ordered what and relied on us to pass the food around. They would bring plates but miss 3 plates. So the food is sitting there and 3 people couldn't eat. (Again the restaurant was not busy. Only a 2 top that has just come in at the point. It is probably 4:30pm) We had to constantly ask for things because they were so unattentive and unaware. Containers to pack up food: didnt bring enough, so had to ask multiple times. Then missing a lid to a container, which we never got! When we were ready to pay, we asked that the bill be separated by the groups in which they took the orders. (We had to flag them down 4 times, to take 4 orders.) The bills came separately but all incorrect. Someone else had my appetizer; a bill had most of the drinks..... Here's the worse part of it: they charge us a 19% automatic gratuity!! That was the worse service we had experienced and certainly would...

We dined here on June 15th. We had a 5.30pm reservation (4 people). Our food took well over an hour to come out. There were only 2 other groups of 2 who arrived after us, and both ate before we did. We had to try and get their attention to chase them up multiple times, and they kept reassuring us ours was coming soon. But it never did. We stated we had a cut off time to leave with the kids and then they were shocked and started moving. Their priority was clearly their take outs and door dash type orders, as we saw countless of these go out. Not the eating in customers.

The menu specified vegan dishes clearly. We ordered one. When it came out it didn’t look right, so after eventually gaining her attention from the back of house, I asked the server to confirm what it was. She confirmed the name of the dish, and I pointed to the menu to confirm. She confirmed again. I tasted it and it tasted off, like it had cream, and I felt sick as I cannot eat dairy - hence I ordered vegan. I asked again and she confirmed the vegan dish. I asked if it had dairy. She said no dairy. Then said ‘only cream’. I told her cream was dairy. She said she would check. She then went to the kitchen and came back and said it had cream and the dish was wrong. - The dish I had confirmed was vegan multiple times. The manager came out and told me they would remake it. As it took so long to get their attention we had been there for 1.5 hours already at this point, and I said no. He then tried to blame me saying I should have told him I’m allergic to dairy and it wouldn’t have happened. I told him I wasn’t paying for it. The new dish was ready at this point (not sure why it took around 5 minutes this time and over an hour before…??), but the rest of the family were already in the car, and I told him I didn’t want it, but he offered no discount, even after everything they had happened, including me requesting this. I then spent the evening being sick. Do not eat here if you have any dietary restrictions, and take warning over eating in...
