Best Indian restaurant in Canada

C	Chen Dennis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went in on a Monday during lunch time. Waited 35 minutes for my lunch to show up. Lady who came just before me ate and left before my food was even served. Asked for napkin when I first sat down and never came. Not coming back. Better ways to spend my money and time elsewhere. Edit: I found this black plastic thing in my egg after my initial review and left immediately without finishing my food. Stay away!
J	Jackie B on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Staff is awesome. Rating is for the western breakfast which was passable. Will try their Indian menu next time and update this review
P	Penny Rusty Sophie on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ James Street Cafe has always been a bit of a mystery to me. The restaurant doesn’t actually sit on James Street and seems far from a typical cafe. We visited early one February morning for breakfast… something that they are supposedly well known for. Walking into this somewhat spacious dining establishment, you realize that this is more like a full-scale restaurant instead of a tiny cafe. The menu offering is highly eclectic with a mix of western, Indian, and East African dishes. As we arrived when they first opened, the sounds of what I presume was morning prayers (Ismaili perhaps given the close proximity of an Ismaili community centre?) punctuated the restaurant, followed up shortly thereafter with light jazz music. I opted for the Brunch Special ($15.95) which consisted of a veggie omelette with masala potatoes, kheema (ground beef) curry, bharazi (pigeon peas in coconut curry), and puri (a fried Indian flatbread that’s light and airy). Let me tell you… there’s a lot of food in this dish! Loved the kheema curry but I found the bharazi to be a bit too watery. They also serve a traditional English Breakfast ($14.95) with baked beans, sausages, bacon, eggs, potatoes, and toast. Talk about hearty! The standout here has to be those thick, plump, juicy sausages which had a nice crackling to the bite. I would definitely come back just to have those sausages again. If you’re in the mood for a mix of western/Indian/East African dishes, James Street Cafe has you covered.
B	Belinda Jin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was my second time having Indian Food with my Indian Friend. We had a lunch at James Street Cafe & Grill. My friend is an Indian. She knew the staffs who work there and how to order the food. James Street Cafe & Grill is located on Canada Way Burnaby. The location is not very convienence for people to find, but it has a decent Indian Food. The restaurant is middle size, divided by patio and inside restaurant two parts. Traditional Indian Culture decorations design inside the restaurant. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. Service was great. My friend ordered all the traditional Indian food for us. The food was very fresh and tasty. We also had hot Chai Tea, which was fantastic. It was a great experience to have an Indian Lunch at James Street Cafe and Grill.
S	Saadiq Daya on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Overall experience was decent, service was quick enough but did forget to bring utensils, called ahead of time so the food would be ready, and it was ready. Ribs were decent, not the most tender cuts, and the falooda was good but missing something. Personally food wise I prefer Jambo Grill still.
v	vmurt on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were in the area and stopped by to have nyama choma. We ordered it with mogo & it was good! The meats were well marinated and tender; the mogo was crispy, not greasy. Only minor complaint is that there was no salad included in the price, but I suppose we could have paid extra to have salad separately. Also had lassis and an ismaili style falooda for dessert - I had never tried this type of falooda before and it was not bad, with a strong saffron taste.
S	Sherali Ramzan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is one of the best places I have been too. The food is amazing, the staff is amazing, and the owners are just really service oriented. I would definitely recommend them to everyone to go and try their delicious food. Thank you for such a great hospitality and service.
R	Renee Rossi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The food is amazing at James Street! I had chicken Bombay biriyani, it was so delicious. My Aunt had Butter chicken, she really enjoyed it. However the most extraordinary fact about this restaurant, is how kind they were! Our family member had a medical incident while dinning. The owner and staff were incredibly attentive. We are forever grateful to them! Sincerely, Mark & Renee Hill
