Ojas Blend (Vancouver) — Restaurant in Vancouver

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at a remarkable restaurant during our 10-day stay in Canada, and it's safe to say that this dining experience was the highlight of our trip. This culinary gem, which we wholeheartedly recommend to all fellow food enthusiasts, is none other than the restaurant where we indulged in the freshest, healthiest, and most delectable dishes we've ever had the pleasure of savoring. The restaurant's ambiance was cozy and welcoming, creating the perfect atmosphere for a memorable dining experience. However, what truly sets this place apart is its commitment to serving healthy yet incredibly delicious food. We were pleasantly surprised to discover an extensive menu filled with a variety of options to cater to various dietary preferences. As health-conscious individuals, we couldn't have been more delighted. One of the standout dishes we had the pleasure of trying was the "Grizzly's Catch." This seafood masterpiece was a true culinary delight. The perfectly seared fish was tender, flaky, and bursting with flavor. The accompanying fresh vegetables and light drizzle of sauce complemented the dish perfectly, making it a must-try for any seafood lover. Another absolute winner was the "Yogi's Paradise." This vegetarian dish was a symphony of flavors and textures. The combination of perfectly grilled tofu, sautéed vegetables, and a mouthwatering sauce made this dish an explosion of taste in every bite. It was a pleasant surprise even for us, non-vegetarians, and it showcased the restaurant's mastery in creating dishes that cater to all palates. One of the most remarkable aspects of our dining experience was the exceptional service provided by Chef Ankit. His passion for food was palpable, and he went above and beyond to ensure that we were not only well-fed but also educated about each dish's preparation. His detailed explanations and friendly demeanor added a personal touch to our meal, making it all the more special. In addition to the incredible food and service, we were also impressed by the restaurant's commitment to using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. It was evident that quality and health were top priorities in every dish they prepared. Our journey in Canada would not have been complete without this culinary adventure, and for that, we are deeply grateful to Chef Ankit and the entire restaurant team. We wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone visiting the area. Whether you're a health-conscious diner or simply in search of a fantastic meal, this restaurant is a must-visit. Thank you for making our trip...

Update: Since my first visit 2 years ago, this place has become my favourite eatery! I take out a bowl almost once per week and the staff is always friendly and consistent with their portion size (and sauce amount!). Can't say enough good things about their food and the selection for the price. My build your own bowl comes to $14.65 with tax, and if eaten for lunch or dinner, it's a hearty meal or you can save some for leftovers! Pro tip: their dairy free mint citrus mayo sauce is the best!

Ordered a 'be the creator' bowl and 2 Cauli Sutra (Uber Eats BOGO). They were tasty and felt healthy, a nice change of pace from my regular poke bowls! In the custom bowl, the sweet yams were a favourite, and the ahi tuna and charred chicken tikka protein options. Regular price at around $17.80 per bowl is pretty pricey but the ingredients taste fresh and the protein portion size was fair. I'd recommend using the BOGO deal if possible, but the custom bowl is separate.

The one complaint my party had would be the sauce amount. The images show it to be lathered in sauce on top, as you can see from photos, it's not a friendly amount. I couldn't tell with the lid on (and they did not make it in front of me as they had a backlog of orders so I was waiting off to the side), and for the 2 for 1, it was already in a bag when I picked it up. 1 of the 2 Cauli Sutra bowls had practically no sauce, which made it dry to eat. Maybe next time I could ask for extra? Anyways, would be back if I'm in the area, but pro tip - ask...

oh my GOODNESSSSSSS!!! (pun intended)

I have stumbled upon my redemption. The best most healthiest food in a bowl of Love.

Found this weird little mall at the corner of Abbott and Keefer (Cineplex Odeon and the Catfe are there too)...thought I'd check out their food court and see if there was anything up there that I SHOULD be eating...as opposed to what I HAVE been eating (Chocolate and Popcorn, lol)

In front of me lies an unassuming little counter with a woman in the back cooking and prepping. As I read through the crazy amount of healthy ingredients I can put into a bowl, I am relieved to have found them and can't wait to put my order together.

It is Hard for me to cook for myself and I don't get all the variety or quality of food that my body needs. This was fast food the right way. Healthy and Organic.

The woman behind the counter, "Meet" (who had already spent most of her day cooking and prepping all the delicious choices) helped me put together a custom bowl.

With a base of cauli/quinoa/kale, I added beautiful chicken chunks and flavorful tofu, chickpeas, beetroot,spinach, brocolli, carrots, crunchy lentils and a very happy sauce to blend it all together.

I am home now eating it and it is So Dang GOOD!!! I have enough for 3 or 4 meals (got the large bowl). And I know every meal will be nutritious, delicious and filling.

The service was the best, I was made to feel so special! I am in the area for a month, and Ojas (and Meet) will be my new best friends.

Color me...
