Palki Restaurant

I found palki online, and I was blown away on how great of quality their lunch buffet is. Unfortunately, every time I have entered the restaurant I'm greeted with a cold shoulder with the manager that says no hi, no greeting, just a blank stare. This happens every time I go their, I have been their about 10 times in the last 8 months. One day, a couple people before and after me entered the restaurant, he greeted the people before and after me, but for me I just got a blank stare. I am overweight and it's clear he doesn't like me and likely because of that reason. It's too bad, I enjoyed their food, but no longer can take the rude hospitality. If your not overweight you will get good service.

I love this place! Amazing food, excellent quantity and quality! Some of the best Indian food I have ever had! Great service in restaurant as well as great delivery. Highly recommended!

Good food good staff

Had Butter Chicken, garlic nan and coconut rice. Was really good. Came out hot, great flavor on the butter chicken. I got medium and thought it could use a bit more heat, but maybe I got white guy medium.Would go again.

The butter chicken is BY FAR the best I’ve ever had. The food is always hot and tasty, and the naan bread is fluffy and delicious. Portions are generous and fairly priced and the buffet is great too. The best restaurant in North Vancouver, and the best Indian restaurant I’ve been to.

Great service and atmosphere. Food was very good, would definitely recommend. One of my favourite Indian places in North Vancouver to stop by.

price for the lunch buffet keeps increasing but the food quality doesn't. If you are looking for vegetarian dishes it's not worth going. There are better places in the area.

I visit this spot a lot since I work right next to it. I love how the service is always excellent and they keep the spot well organized constantly. Pricing is convenient and they serve large portions.

This spot simply knows how to take care of their clients. Always with a super friendly approach. The food is fairly priced, regularly fresh and clean.

Went for the lunch buffet and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Casual but elegant. Food was great with a decent selection of curries.

The best East Indian food in the area by a mile. Great food and fantastic staff.

Palki is not the greatest, nor the worst when it comes to Indian food on the North shore. It's definitely got the best ambience when compared to other places nearby like Indian Fusion or Pavan's Kitchen. Priced are reasonable though food can be hit it miss. Parking is easy and service generally good.

The food is absolutely delicious and fresh. Being a vegan, I loved how they were so accommodating to my needs. Would highly recommend this place for an amazing dining experience of Indian cuisine! And they have the yummiest chilli sauce that they make in house that just makes every dish even more perfect!!

the worst buffet I have ever had in canada .....plz don't waste ur money

This place is over-priced for the food they offer. 16 dollars for a small bowl of curry, and rice or naan is an extra add on for several dollars. Tried a few different curries and the taste is decent, I liked the lamb pasanda. I've had butter chicken at other places, and this place has by far the SWEETEST one. It was like half the bowl consisted of sugar, also the reddest butter chicken I've seen.

An excellent meal and great service. Our server took charge of the situation and helped us navigate the menu successfully to order the right schtuff and make sure that we got enough food. Service was excellent.

Love this place. The owners are funny and personable and the food is downright amazing.

This place is worth trying. They have large portions for convenient rates. Consistently neat and with awesome mood. Will come back again.

Surprisingly delicate and flavorful. Some of the best Indian cuisine we have had. Perfect spicing, tender meats. Light and refreshing Cucumber Salad. Great service and friendly staff. Beautiful décor, calm atmosphere.We will be back!! Soon.

Good taste and service.

Food was good but it took almost an hour

We had take out 'lamb' curry - mild - from them tonight. Side of vegetables and naan bread. Very tasty except for fact that the lamb was not lamb , maybe it was mutton, but it was not great. Restaurants think their patrons are stupid.

Great place with good flavor. The Naan was great as well as the chicken butter and beef Korma.

We've ordered delivery a few times now and EVERY TIME, it has been fantastic. It's rare to get consistent quality every time but they do it. Their spices are great, their naan and vindaloo are standouts I highly recommend them for delivery.

My family and me are regulars at this restaurant . Amazing ambience , service and food . Great portion sizes and they cater to spice level as requested !! My favorite dishes are - butter chicken , chicken tikka masala , mixed grill platter and dal makhni. Highly recommend Palki !!!

Stay away if you are looking for authentic taste. I had lunch buffet there. The ingredients are cooked okay but the food is totally bland. The clientele is largely non-east Indian and that should tell you something when going to eat Indian food. One short-cut such restaurants take is to cook many different dishes from the same masala. That is also a reason why most dishes taste the same. This restaurant would die if it were in Surrey where there is stiff competition with so many Indian restaurants around. Because this is only one of three in north Vancouver, it has survived so far. But not because it’s good.

Loved the food, will use in future!

Fantastic! Love the butter chicken and garlic naan. Overall friendly service, quality food and flexible delivery. I live near deep cove and if they aren’t too busy they will deliver. Great place.

Delicious. Fast delivery time. Food was hot!!

Everything was perfect for our meal at Palki tonight. The servers were excellent. The Food was delicious. Specifically, the Butter Chicken was the best I have ever had. The Naan bread was fluffy and fresh. We are full and very happy. Looking forward to our next visit! -D&K

Our first time going to this restaurant . Authentic Indian food comparable to India and our server was really friendly! Will def be going back

Went for the spicy butter chicken, coconut rice and a garlic naan. The naan was thin and drizzled with garlic butter and spices for a mouthwatering but not too filling side, the coconut rice had full flavour and was a generous portion, and the curry itself consisted of masterfully combined flavours and perfectly cooked chicken for a deeply moreish result. I didn't manage to finish, but I wanted to, and they kindly packaged up the rest for me to take home.The low lighting and close comfy seating lends to a relaxed intimate atmosphere, exaccerbated by fantastic service, and rounded off with uncompromising quality.Highly recommend.

In my mind, Palki has one of the best Indian buffets in Metro Vancouver. I got there early when it just opened, so all of the food was still hot and fresh. Started with a fresh cucumber and carrot salad, then proceeded with all the usual fixings: Butter Chicken, Dal, and Veggie Korma. Butter chicken was delicious and is usually my favorite dish, but in this case the korma stood out. The korma had a slight bite to it and was not too sweet. Naan was hot and fresh. Very impressed, would definitely come back in the future!

Really Good ;)We try butter chicken and spinach lamb. Both testy. Nice service.

Honestly some of the best Indian Cuisine on this side of the planet. I have been to India many times and Palkis Restaurant on the North shore of Vancouver always brings me back! Great vegan options. 10 stars! 5 is simply not enough. Staff are warm and friendly and make you feel right at home.

Palki is definitely the best Indian food in town and is quickly becoming one of my favourite restaurants. I have only been twice, but both times were excellent. The food comes out fast and is always delicious! The restaurant has a clean and classy decor. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves curry and delicious food!

We've been coming to Palki for years and it's always a win. Food is always tasty and the service is the best

The restaurant serves authentic Indian food, well served on warmer stands individual for each plate you choose. All delicious and big portions. Prices are very good and the owner is always greeting you when you arrive. I highly recommend it. They also have buffet lunch Monday to Friday for a very low price and also weekends.

By far the best Indian food experience in the lower mainland. The ambience compared to most Indian restaurants is top notch & the servers are very helpful with recommendations. The portions for the price are well worth it. My favourite vegetarian dish is the bhartha. My favourite meat dish is the coconut chicken curry. Highly recommend!

We are so full! The food was delicious and we couldn't stop eating. The service was excellent and friendly. So so good! We will definitely go back... We have just found our new favorite!

Great Food. Love the fish tikka and butter chicken

really that was amazing time at palki restaurant . food was really good and i really like the staff and and food as well.i would like to give 5 out of 5 .

Giving 1 star for the naan. The rest was a terrible lunch buffet experience. For a weekend buffet, the selection was very limited and the menu was a displeasure. This restaurant caters to non-Indians who do not know what Indian food actually is, and think that “beef curry” is an actual dish on the buffet. As for vegetarian options, the buffet had 1)plain dal 2)aloo gobhi and that was it. These are dishes you would make at home on an average day and not something you should serve at a weekend buffet at a restaurant charging $17/person. Server also seemed to be embarrassed to talk to his native tongue and only replied to me in English while he talked to other servers in our native language.

Very friendly staff. Incredible food. My favorite Indian restaurant in Vancouver area. We always try to come every trip from Seattle. Always consistent food. Great recommendations.

Mid range prices (12-14$ no naan or rice incld), attentive (though dour) service, food's pretty good. I'd recommend if you want some decent, classier Indian food.

Wonderful experience tonight. I deeply respect a restaurant that will serve you food that is spicy on request. Even if it ends up being more spicy than I bargained for. Usually when I say hot I get something like medium. Hot means hot at Palki! What a fantastic thing. Great service, Great food. Will be back again. Took a long time to find this lovely long established restaurant.

Delicious paneer pakora.

This is my go to place for Indian food on the north shore. Their buffet is a bit more expensive than most but the quality is good. It's freshly made and the meat dishes have a lot of meat. It's unlike other places where you have to strain each spoonful to get something solid. The butter chicken is made with sour cream without any additional thickeners and has choice pieces of chicken and not random parts. I was surprised that they had beef curry. The vegetarian choices like Dal and Vegetable Korma are excellent as well as the fresh naan bread served at your table. The food is not as spicy so you can invite friends.

Great food! The ambience is really nice as well.

The best part is their all-you-can-eat buffet, only available at lunch. I would take my friends there and we would stuff our faces with good food!
