Jolly's Indian Bistro

Jolly is honestly the best Indian food I’ve found in Greater Vancouver! Every time I go, the flavours are rich, authentic, and so comforting. You can tell everything is freshly made and the portions never disappoint. The service is always warm and kind. They make you feel at home, and I really appreciate the care they put into every detail. The butter chicken is unbelievably creamy, the naan comes out hot with that unique garlic sauce (I’m genuinely obsessed!), and the samosas are always super tasty. I’ve tried many Indian restaurants around Vancouver, but nothing compares to how consistent and delicious Jolly is. It’s become one of my favourite spots, and I always leave happy. Highly recommend for real comfort food, great people, and amazing value. ☺️

Man, what a score! Great value and everything we tried was a flavour explosion, very well priced and great quantities. With a beer our dinner was the price of breakfast! The waitress from Brasil was super sweet and very helpful. Had to chat the chef up, who owns the place. Very chatty, well schooled in cuisine in Austria of all places, and very thankful. I’d give it a ten out of five if I could. Well done. We will be back!!! ASAP

Excellent food and atmosphere for the price. Staff very nice. Good affordable date spot. Butter chicken was the best.

Fantastic food and good prices for what you get. The coconut prawns and samosa were very flavorful. And the naan was light and fluffy. The Balti chicken and Chickpea masala were also very good. And if you like a strong flavorful Chai, their Chai will not disappoint. It is very strong in flavor particularly ginger.

Ordered Coconut Prawns, Palak Paneer, and Butter Chicken. Both curries were good and not oily which we liked, however neither had any spice at all. We liked however that rice and naan came with the curries, prices seemed reasonable for the area and the atmosphere inside is nice.

Bruna was our server, she was great. I loved the food, service, ambiance. 10/10. Best indian food in Vancouver. Huge portions for an amazing price. What a deal. BEST NAAN IN VANCOUVER

I decided to give Jolly’s Indian Bistro a try because of their “Buy One Get One Free” offer. Unfortunately, I regret not being more skeptical. The food was a major letdown. The mutton rogan josh, supposedly a top dish, was so salty and spicy it was practically inedible. The rice was sticky, yellow, and clumpy—absolutely unappetizing. To make matters worse, they served naan in a paper bag instead of wrapping it in aluminum foil. What kind of presentation is that? Ironically, the random tiny box of chickpeas they threw in was the only remotely decent part of the meal, and it wasn’t even the main focus. Seriously, tone down the salt. Over-seasoning can ruin dishes and, frankly, could be dangerous for customers’ health.

Jolly is the owner and chef. His food is so tasty with the right amount of spices. He truly cares about his food and is proud. It makes him happy you are happy. I always love coming to fill my tastebuds. This place won't disappoint. It is more of a southern Indian food than northern. I say don't miss trying this restaurant.
