We have been going to Asian’s with our family for years and it is the closest we have found to a UK curry in Vancouver - which is a huge compliment as the best curry restaurants in the world are in the UK! Chef Rick has been in this business for over 45 years and he makes everyone feel welcome. All dishes are freshly prepared. He is there early every day prepping all the ingredients. For diabetics it is particularly good - he does not use sugar but instead does magic with onions to introduce a sweetness. This makes the butter chicken the best ever. I can eat here without the food spiking my blood sugars at all - as long as I don’t stuff in too much Nan! The Tandoori mix grill is the best I have had. Mushroom matter is a favorite as is Lamb Sag. Did I mention the butter chicken! He often gives our grandkids a box of home made sweets to go. Gluten free options available and ample free parking on the street outside. I have noticed that Prices have not gone up since before COVID - go along as you won’t be disappointed.

For 40 years, Rick (I call him 'Sir') at Ashiana has been serving up food that tastes like it came straight from a loving home kitchen. From the moment you walk in, you're treated like family, and the experience is truly mind-blowing. The gluten-free food is incredibly rich and flavorful, thanks to the in-house developed sauces that are clearly made with passion. I had the pleasure of trying the Bangara style paneer subji, and it was an absolute delight – a symphony of flavors that danced on the palate. But the warmth doesn't stop there. The sweet gesture of a complimentary dessert is the perfect ending to a perfect meal, a testament to Rick's dedication to creating a memorable dining experience. If you're looking for authentic flavors and a homely atmosphere, Ashiana is the place to be. Wish I had find this place earlier but as they always nothing is never too late. I'm a repeat customer here forever!

Really wonderful and delicious family-run restaurant. The owner has a deep knowledge of the history of Vancouver and it was a pleasure learning from him about his experience establishing a restaurant over 40 years ago! Also some of the best Naan and butter chicken I've ever eaten! My brother is celiac and we were impressed by the gluten-free options and how seriously they took his dietary restrictions. Then they even gifted my daughter a lassi to take home with her! We will be going back soon!
