Reviews of Kootenay Tamil Kitchen (Winery)

Elijah Bergs

The food was delicious. We got marinated cauliflower, lamb and chicken Dosai and mango lassi. All yummy and tasty. The only thing that I think would be great to work on it, it’s the decoration and ambient which can add more pleasant to your experience. ????

Best Indian meal we’ve ever had! The chef is a young man who makes his family’s normal meals and called his food “simple and authentic”. But let me tell you, it’s not THAT simple when he talks about roasting seeds together, grinding them into spices that he uses in his dishes. The outcome of his work is a meal that is a pure delight. We thoroughly enjoyed two apps: pani puri and chicken-65 and our entrees were a lamb curry and a chicken curry served with fresh unleavened Indian bread (not quite like naan) and rice. Also the chef eagerly selected choices for us when we expressed an interest in his recommendations—we loved it and all his choices. Oh and he seems very tuned in to the average North Americans tolerance for spice and adjusted our food a bit but still have us a burn at a level we both really enjoyed. Can’t recommend enough. If you’re visiting Nelson, try this place out!

Mark Livingston

My go to spot in Nelson! everything I have tried from this restaurant has been very delicious.

Chris Carlson

Good food and service, but the food takes awhile to get to your table, they should try and shorten it

Virginia Mcgregor

Excellent, tasty, original food. Will be back soon!

Dmitry Narkevich

A nice clean space, a varied menu, great service and excellent food at reasonable prices.

(Translated) For Canada, considering that the operators have never been to India, very good! (Original) Für Canada wenn man bedenkt das die Betreiber noch nie in Indien waren, sehr gut!

Brigid Barner

We followed our nose and had a late lunch here so fantastic would definitely go back :)

Wayne Lundeberg

I’ve had better dosas. The flavour is definitely much more muted than what I am used to. I felt like there was no masala in the dosa. I ordered a paneer dosa and the stuffing was just some sabji with barely any paneer in it. The sambar didn’t have much flavour either. If you are foodie like me and have had dosas elsewhere (Surrey, Vancouver, Toronto, etc) I would skip this place.

Katherine Hosford

Best Indian food in town, by a long shot. An really cozy, beautiful patio in the summer. I always get chappathi and Paneer Butter Masala. SO. GOOD. If you have a sweet tooth, I recommend getting the gulab jamun sundae, or a mango lassi.

Weston Dotson

Really amazing food, amazing staff.

Chris Arlidge

Good food

Anshul Vishal

Kim Harley

Excellent food. Authentic south of India recipes. Owner very nice and friendly prices very reasonable able and the atmosphere really nice. The curry fish was just great!

Moh Rafati

Advise: If Someone orders dosa ,Please check if they might be needed more of sambar or chutney ..:(:(.....this is the 10 time it happened and I'm no more interested to come have a Dosa .....Customer service is everything. ....

Susan Paice

Delicious dosai, pakoras, chai and eggplant curry. Service was awesome.

Rohit Virmani

Amazing food, friendly staff. Keep up the good work guys!

Maddie Storvold

ordered the lamb curry and rice with the chicken samosas and it was absolutely delicious - no delivery fee and i was able to order completely online! the portions are pretty good for the price and the food is amazing - one of the only places in town as far as i know that delivers indian takeout, its a bit of a wait but it tells you that upfront and they were right on time, plus the food was still warm so no complaints there! definitely planning on ordering again soon. edit: they gave me enough food for a whole second meal so the portions are very good for their prices! super happy with my order :)

Anju Joseph

Amazingly flavorful vegan options, and very friendly staff.

Mike Forster

This place has amazing food and I'd suggest it to anyone I speak to about dinner

An exceptional find in the heart of Nelson. This restaurant knows its spices. The wings were extra special. A treat to eat for Sunday Night Football.

DAVE TYSON

Lovely lunch, filling and delicious!

Colleen Lyons

Some of the nicest folks in town. I walked in two hours after closing and they still insisted on making me some samosas. Absolutely delicious! Thank you Tamil Kitchen :)

Cloé Bayeur-Holland

Yum! Deliscious food, veggie options and great service.

Best mango lassi I’ve ever had and the food and service is incredible

Very good South Indian cuisine. Owner was very accommodating, and was happy to discuss the restaurants origins and influence - which was his family’s traditional recipes.

Mike F

Excellent Indian food prepared by caring owner.

Trevor Olson

Excellent experience all around. Delicious and authentic cuisine. Nice atmosphere and superior customer service. Very much enjoyed our visit.

Absolutely delicious. Friendly service. If you don't like cilantro however many of the dishes we had contained cilantro.

vijul seth

Excellent food and service and good value for price

im tierd

Today was my first time eating here, absolutely amazing and authentic Indian food. There are dishes I had never heard of and I plan to go back to try more! They also carry loads of authentic ingredients, snacks, and spice mixes you can't find anywhere else in town. The staff were friendly and answered my endless questions about the displays as well as the foods being served. After my meal I ended up leaving with a large bag of assorted cooking ingredients and snacks, as well as a Dosa to eat later for dinner (recommended to me by another customer)(It's like a giant savory crepe filled with spicy meat and veggies, I love it!)

John Connor

I was not very happy with our time at Kootenay Tamil. We decided to go based on a recommendation from a friend who often eats here. We arrived at 11:00am, and we're told that they wouldn't be ready with the buffet until 11:15, which we weren't bothered by; and chose to visit neighboring stores until they were ready. We then came back 25 minutes later, and were told again that they weren't prepared yet. We waited another 10 minutes until our 2 year old could no longer keep herself composed, and left. We were more than willing to wait a few minutes, but 35 minutes after their storefront said the buffet started is a little bit much to wait. I am disappointed because Tamil Kitchen came so highly recommended.

Mike Thomas

Warm, friendly atmosphere. Excellent service and wonderful suggestions! Our butter chicken was the perfect size and a perfect amount of tingly heat :) We were so happy with our meals, we will definitely be repeat customers!

Bruce Morrison

Best place we've eaten in Nelson. Awesome service, incredible food. Couldn't recommend it enough!

Therese Mah

Amazing food, I never expected truly authentic and delicious Indian food in the middle of the Canadian Rockies, but here it is. If I could give it six stars I would.

Kim Siray

The cauliflower dosa was great!

George Ellis

Oh me oh my. The food here is absolutely amazing. If you pass through Nelson and don't frequent this fine establishment for a curry you will be missing out. Thank you Mr Tamil for a lovely evening.

Anirudha Dani

Found it by chance while strolling through downtown Nelson. Was recommended to try their buffet, and loved it. They have a nice spread including starters, main course (utthappam, medu vada, rice, Salam bhar, veggie curry, fish curry, chicken curry and payasam for dessert. Reasonably priced. Indoor and outdoor seating options available. Nice traditional decor. Worth a visit.

Derek Roulston

Fantastic food!

Alex Thumm

Wonderful meal and very pleasant service. Now I want to try the diner menu!

K T

Came here a couple days ago, the food (chicken kothu paratha and a mutton kothu paratha) tasted really good and authentic. It was better than other tamil restuarants i have tried in Victoria and Calgary. I liked the decor and style of the place. The owner was really friendly and nice. The serving size could definitely use improvement hence the four stars . The portion me and my gf got was far too small as neither of us were close to full with our dishes which were served in little pots like they do in some places, but the pots were smaller and shallower

Remi Champagne

We’re visiting Nelson for a couple days. This place deserves all the stars! Such good food. So good that every dish was devoured by the sometimes picky 12 and 15 year-olds. We shared two dosai, two curries and another dish with some little buns.

Akshya Sarathy

Excellent host, fantastic use of spice. Authentic and unique yummy food! We will definately be back.

•sнιгє'

Very nice options for food, really enjoyed the dosa And panipuri. The food was very nicely prepared and was authentic tamil taste.

Aaron Banfield

We got both specials and the samosas were so awesome we had to get a second round. We were a bit apprehensive entering the restaurant but the food was why we came and if we lived in Nelson we’d be going all the time.

Greg Magotiaux

Can honestly say my this was one of the most enjoyable meals I've had in a long time! The food was exceptional, really authentic and delicious and of course the staff were delightful. Any time I'm in Nelson from now on i'll be making it a priority to come back here.

Keith Finlay

One word... Dosa. For the win!

itska power

bastian jose

Great food

Kolton Martin

Fantastic food. Will come back!

Vicky Jones

We had a great 5 course meal! Very friendly server and enjoyed the fireplace.

123 LSA

Wonderful owner. Try the Pani Puri!

Sascha Uncia

Went in and figured we would try something other than the usual. Gave him free reign. He brought two appetizers I had never heard of. Both were amazing. One was spicy cauliflower but not too spicy. Super delicious. The other were these balls filled with goodness you put more goodness into. Then the final plate. I had some chicken curry mix and the wife had eggplant mix. We were blown away. Explained all about the food and one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at any restaurant ever.

Melanie Mobbs

Very delicious, super filling, great prices, and nice staff ????

Daniel Findler

The flavours are out of this world. Savoury and bright with attentive service.

Sarah Mulholland

One of the loveliest culinary experiences I’ve ever had!

Hemanti Sharma

Awesome food

Rodney Dean

The restaurant has amazing food, cozy ambience, and excellent service from the staff. But I'm disappointed with the portion size and the value what I paid for the dish.

Manjit Pakkar

We had some breakfast here on holidays the dosas are incredible! Very large serving aswell.

Popov Leather

Tasty, filling and original food. The Dosas are amazing and the Bhajis are the best I've tasted!

Mary Morris

Great food

Holly C

Good food - liked the authentic menu. Had the lamb curry which was on par with other south Indian restaurants in the States...little light on the rice amount...ordered a extra side of it to match the amount of curry.

Ava Strautman

Delicious foods and reasonable price. Just the food options were limitted in buffets. For example there was no Naan or only one rice option.

Pau Jover Font

So yummy and good staff

Riley Parks

Excellent food and great prices. Friendly staff. We will return

Aman Saini

Love the food here

Graeme Bekker

Nice cozy place to eat with your friends and family. My hubby and I got there about half an hour before closing and the owner greeted us and served us a very delicious food with a very friendly nature.

S McMahon

Great!

Steven Kent

Great food, a different spice blend to what is the norm in Canada.

Ben Glickman

The family who runs the Tamil Kitchen are so friendly and nice, and the food is such delicious, homemade fare. Definitely worth waiting a few extra minutes for!

Avery Marie Deboer-Smith

AMAZING FOOD....Best Indian food ever! Giving 4 stars as AMBIENCE is horrible. Restaurant is cold, dark, cafeteria tables. Interior needs some love so the customers can enjoy not just the food but the total experience

Ankush Saini

Great food, both buffet and Al acarte..must visit

Julia C

A very good meal was had here and it had been some time since I had last had a dosa....it was fantastic!

Pat Donahue

Chick pea based Patty! Indian style spice with just the right amount of kick made it a five star stop!

Izzy Lynch

Went here for breakfast back in July. Delicious! Great service and the coffee was amazing. Highly recommend.

Reed Koch

Every time I've gone here it has been so incredibly delicious! The buffet has been different every time I've gone and I honestly cannot say there was ever one thing I didn't like. Every new bite just keeps blowing your mind! Ordering off of the menu has been so fun to. The staff are all very lovely too! You won't regret a visit here ???? wish I could eat like this every day!

Fernando Aranguiz

Top food

Phoebe Sutton

Excellent food + very friendly hosts.

Jonah Lanclos

We had a great dinner and great service in town. It was fantastic food. We enjoyed a lot :)

Alpha Rays

It's on the main Baker Street, offers Indian cuisine, especially South Indian dishes. It also has a counter where you can buy Indian namkeens, snacks which are typically Indian.

Ryan Dury

The newly renovated space is inviting, spacious and connected to the open kitchen. What an improvement. Buffet food was tasty, service is always lovely but I would like to see labels on the buffet with more detail. Fish? Meat? Main ingredient? Hot or Medium? What am I eating?

Sara Malyk

Awesome place to be. Made fresh served fresh good quality and everyone is pretty friendly.

Edgar Dalrymple

Great staff. Great food. Great service. Passing thru. Curbside pickup. Try the cauliflower Pekoras!

Charles Wallis

Food was really good service was slow

Nathan Skolski

Flavour explosion! The chai tea was amazing. We had the non vegetarian sampler, the lentil fritters and the beef crepe, and it was all so tasty. The food portions were large for the price. Service was friendly if a bit slow.

Paul Pillisch

This was OK indian food. I have definitely had better at many other restaurants

Neil Mayhew

Food quality was good. Vada pav is like south side they added coconut chutney, definitely not a good combination. Owner’s behaviour was so good.

sandeep bains

Quite simply the best butter chicken I've ever had. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. Can't wait to come back!

Ray Rheault (Transcendence)

Very tasteful food! Ciraj is the owner and chef. That's why he is able to give good recommendentations about the food on the menu. He is a realy kind person! It's not only about the food but about the whole experience! You definitely have to try this indian restaurant!

Jonathan Higgins

Peter Swisterski

Very slow service. Bad portion size.

Allon Beck

Excellent food, drinks, and dessert. Highly recommended.

Mohit Shah

Absolutely delicious food. The restaurant has some clutter that could use cleaning up, but the food and service is off the charts great. I ordered the tamarind rice and I definitely recommend it. The vada pav and uttapam were great as well.

JAMie

This little store is FANTASTIC! I cannot believe the variety, the prices, and the wonderful owner who was so incredibly helpful. He even gave my little boy a pack of cookies. I’ll be back, and telling everyone!

Nandu Gopalakrishnan

Really unique dishes and the owner is just a lovely human being. Service is a bit spotty, but the food is always excellent.

Frank Petrilli

I had the Dosai for breakfast. A little spicier than I'm used to but delicious and very filling.

Sebastian Thomson Jagoe

Excellent food. Lots of gluten free and vegan options. They make a wicked chai (and can do it sugar free). The chicken dosai was huge and delicious. Love the new location on Baker St for patio people watching. So good.

David Paetkau

We absolutely love this restaurant. Very nice service, tasty food, full of flavors from starter to desert ! We definitely will go back ! :)

Farhan Kafil

Delicious food. Friendly service. I’ve never had southern Indian food before and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it is. Flavours are more subtle than northern indian food. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Veronika Lukáčová

Walk down Baker for the specatcle, but come here to eat. A warm and welcoming family business with family recipes from Southern India. Everything was explained to us. The Pani Puri is a tantilizing appetizer. Lots of vegetarian options that are full of flavor. You will be glad that you broke away from the crowds and made the short walk here.

Dana Larson

Amazing food love it amazing great atmosphere nice. Good time, very good time

Luna O'Connell

Brilliant food. If he recommends you something get it!

pml sfo

Good good, nice space, efficient service

Judy Mulloy

It may not look like much from the outside, but the food is amazing!

Angela Simpson

Great food. If you're not sure what to order, just ask for their recommendation. They have an excellent staff.

Tanya (Supersaiyanmagicalgirl)

Such a delightful person Siraaj is. Me and my friend went to have food there, but my friend fall sick before that. Siraaj gave us ride to the hospital despite of store being so busy. He is such a kind and generous person. Thank you Siraaj.

Ashween Lata

Great venue to go with a small group - order a variety of dishes then share. Everything was excellent.

Dr. David P Alfaro

The place is the real deal! Excellent food. Everything thing we had was amazing. 100% recommend

Ross Wiwcharuk

Authentic Tamil food which can be customised according to your need and excellent personalized customer service. Great food and light on wallet.

Steve Acuña

Freshly made southern Indian dishes. The flavors just different enough from the expected to tantalize & surprise. Would love to have these dishes back home. Also, a surprisingly broad array of specialty drinks. Coffee, milks & cocktails.

Brandon Flater

I was there in February and went for dinner and the owner/chef was there and was very nice. I told him I was there in January for breakfast but you hadn’t opened when I was there at 8:00 am. He said sometimes they don’t open exactly on time which is common in Nelson. He said he would be there in the morning the next day if we wanted to have breakfast and we did and he was ready for us. Food is good. It’s South Indian food which is different from the other Indian restaurants which are North Indian.

Maharsi Bodhi

I don’t even want to give 1 star to this restaurant. The Food is nasty. We paid more than $55 and didn’t eat anyting, coz of the wrong temperature of the food. We ordered dosas here and they forget to add masla inside the dosa????.. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone..????

Abul Bazaz

Always excellent

Katie Bell

Wonderful memories of India. Excellent menu of authentique dishes (breakfast as well????) with attention to details and flavours . On top of all this, genuine smiles and good service. I'll be back!!!

komal damaraju

Such a relaxed, good vibes type of place. Worth a visit

Hannah Takemori

For being a newbie to India food best ever

A H

I love this restaurant so much. Such great authentic South Indian cuisine! Ciraj is such a great host. He truly makes you feel welcome and appreciated while offering you a meal that will liven your tastebuds. I highly recommend you check it out.

Isha Upadhyay

No customer service at all. Found a hair in my dosa and there was no apology or any explanation. They did make me a new Dosa but there was no apology about the first one. We did not receive any napkins instead we had to go in the restaurant and ask for it. No menu was provided nor did they say to look on your phone for the restaurant menu.The server didn't once come back to us asking if we needed anything or give us a refill. They did not even provide any discount for the hair found in the Dosa. There is no customer service at all and thats very unfortunate. I think the server needs some training because she clearly doesn't know. If I was in a Canadian restaurant the service would have been such a positive experience.

Audrey Boivin

FOUR OF US HAD LUNCH, IT WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD ????????????????????????MMMMM. GREAT

Matthew Overton

Excellent food! Great service. Worth the trip off of Baker St. The chicken dosa is amazing! Eat here every time I come to Nelson.

shannon romano

Always delicious amazing food, service is great. I have yet to eat anything I didn't like.

SL Knopp

Fantastic! A great menu selection with both Indian and traditional breakfasts. The South Indian coffee was delicious as wS the Dosai Beef.

Bob Underwood

Super good everytime :) excited to have a spot so good in town! Something other than pub food!

Katie McRae

Came in today at 8:40 pm and it's 9:45 pm now and still haven't got my food, but got the appetizers though. Lots desired in the speed of service. Had to wait 15 mins before anyone even approached us. It's 9:48pm still no food. The appetizers were quite tasty, I must say. I left at 9:50 pm, got no food, left without eating.

Eleanor Schmutz

Their sambhar and dosas, so genuine taste they have. Pretty good menu, and their lunch buffets are the best Indian buffet in Nelson. Vegan, gluten free stuff find alot of space in their menu.

fiona richards

Excellent service

Eli H.

Tasty and fresh though you might have to wait.

dave anthony

Loved the dosa! We did not expect to find a South Indian gem in Nelson!

Nagu

Soooo good! We were not expecting authentic south indian food and each dish was interesting and tasty. Which is better, the beef curry or the lamb curry? Both were great. The chickpea salad was yummy. We had 5 things from the menu and there were many more that looked interesting especially given that we were 5 for 5 on tasty dishes.

Kurt Hoskin

Friendly service. South Indian cuisine. We found fish fry tasty but other dishes quite bland.

Nature Flow

The kitchen service was pretty slow (which I was warned of by the waiter), but the vegetarian thali I ordered was terrific. It had a nice sugary coconut dessert that I hadn't tried before, and now that's in my dreams. I think it's great to see South Indian food in a smaller town. I will return someday to try the buffet!

Kinia from Pros&Babes

Most incredible food, wonderful staff and great setting-can't recommend this place highly enough!

Vic Olak

Amazing food! Very authentic and reminded me of the Indian food of Kerala! Highly reccomend.

Catherine Chambers

Actually the most delicious Indian food I have ever eaten.

Matthew Shorrock

Incredible food. Fast delivery and friendly staff. Can't remember the last time I had such delicious Indian food.

Sean Elkink

Really good Indian food! Super flavorful and delicious. Such a mom and pops place, all family recipes!

Natalya Townsend

Great food and friendly service

Himalaya Salt Cave

Outstanding! Excellent dosai, vadai, and curry.

Bruce Krusel

Good food. Great service. Highly recommend.

Richard Cousens

Best place in town for Indian cuisine !!! Try the Fish Fry and the Prawn Dosa. My favourites.

Will See

Great authentic food and awesome service. Delish.

James Mckinnon

Best place to eat indian food in nelson!

Catherine McCormick

My husband and I had dinner at Tamil Kitchen last night. What a great experience! The food was delicious, authentic Indian flavours and superb execution!

Vanessa Petrie

Love this place! Dosa is my favourite meal and excited that they are now offering thali.

Queh

Went twice! First time was an amazing experience! The place is lively with colours, shapes and music. I had no idea what to order so the owner picked and WOW! He did not disappoint. I even had a dessert. All wonderful

Megan Atwood

They helped me pick a dish as I wasn't familiar with the food choices. Turned out to be wonderful. Amazing friendly staff, so happy to see their food over at Save on to go, usually grab it for day hikes :D!

Evelien

Some of the best Indian food I have had in my life - and I love Indian. Plus the staff were very friendly. What a great gem!!

BLAINE MICHALSKY

I'm not even a fan of Indian food and I love this place. South Indian cuisine - not your typical butter chicken - lots of fish - the food is fresh and delicious.

GClaude Gallinger

Average

Olga Kanevskyi

Just wow! Absolutely delicious. Flavourful, nice portions, and super friendly. Thank you for a wonderful vegan meal

Anurag Lakka

Had the lunch buffet. Perfect South Indian buffet. Really tasty with vegetarian and meat options. Staff were very friendly.

myfukinarmhurts

Great food!! Very rude server!

Megan Hackett

Went for the lunch buffet and was thoroughly impressed. The food was light and had many veggie options. Service was spectacular and they let us keep our pup next to the patio while we ate. Price was definitely less than I had expected with such quality food.

James Paterson

Excellent food.

Terry-ann Tornes

Great food with full of flavors!

Chris Green

This quaint restaurant is not your everyday Indian cuisine. Atually it Is!! The Chef takes pride is serving authentic home Indian cuisine, even if it is too labour intensive for other kitchens. My colleague mentioned he had not had Indian food this authentic or good since travelling overseas. I highly recommend this place, and will be back ea h and every time I am in Nelson.

BEN PAPPARIL

All I can say is that this is a fantastic restaurant! The owner is post modern in his cooking approach to cooking authentic southern Indian food. You will be charmed, full of good food and ready to hit the slopes after eating breakfast, lunch or dinner. Don’t leave Nelson, BC without eating at Katooney South India Kitchen. Next time we are in Nelson, BC we will stop in again.

adam vizzo

Great food

GURTEJ SINGH BISHRAM

Wow! Amazing food, excellent service. We ordered several dishes and each one was more delicious than the last, and all for $60. The patio at night had a great atmosphere and made for an enjoyable date night. We’ll be back anytime we’re in Nelson, for sure.

Brent Forder

Wonderful food! A bit different from the usual Indian fare. They have a wide selection of dosai, and the curries have a uniquely Tamil flavour. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, and the staff are helpful. They were able to accommodate my allergy to dairy easily, and knew exactly which dishes needed to be modified slightly.

Raj V

Loved the food...gave the feeling of Indian taste

Melissa Quistberg

The consistency and quality of ingredients not what they used to be. The flavors are still interesting, but the execution used to be amazing - now you're not quite sure what you'll get.

Byron Vasecka

Tamil kitchen has some great new choices that aren't typically in an indian/ethnic foods restaurant. I was a little surprised( in a good way.) at how spicy the food was, generally most places tone down their spice for white people, but it was a good amount and suited the dish nicely. The biggest failings of Tamil are its service and decor, which unfortunately are both somewhat underwhelming. Overall I'd return for the food, but won't expect the experience of the restaurant to be wowing.

chitrak patel

Awesome food and drinks! We had Pani Puri for an appetizer followed by Chicken Dosai and a Lamb Curry, for which I can't remember the name of, for dinner. Both were excellent. Our drinks were delicious as well. Our waitress was knowledgeable and and fun.

Florence Strome

So great! Fantastic flavors, great food. Chai tea was so yummy!

Ryan Stonely

Excellent service. Delicious food. Charming staff. Well done!

David Strand

Nice place great food

Muff Hackett

Great staff. Great food.

Prabhjot Dhillon

This place was fabulous. We had a lunch buffet for $14.50 which was great value for the quality of the food. The beef curry in particular was delicious and everything felt home cooked. If you like Indian food and you’re in Nelson, go ahead and give it a go.

Raja Thalluri

Good stuff

Braden Parker

Amazing food and great service overall. Ciraj was amazing and always attentive. Thank you!!! Try the pani puri and beet salad!

Steve Roode

Great cuisine and friendly people, best Indian food in the kootenays

Bede Blomme

Overpriced small portions disappointing food nothing special. Bad location. Only positive is the owner is nice.

R T

Amazing food, server was friendly and very helpful in suggestions from the menu as South Indian food was an unknown to us. Great to share dishes or order the tasting dinners for 1 to try a sampling of things. Not North American serving sizes for those with bulk eating styles. Server was great at suggesting how much to order. Will definitely come in again! Great outdoor patio too.

Tillex 2

Average Indian food.

Sarah McDougall

Food is a little westernized but still tastes good. Service was great and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Hazel Forrester

Some of the best South Asian food I’ve ever had. Incredible!!

Jade Oswald

One best Indian restaurants I have ever been to. Everything was fresh, quality and delish. Even my unadventurous parents loved it.

michael lennox

Great food but theyre the only curry spot in nelson that says "delivery" but if you call them, they say they wont deliver. Savage

Alex Joseph

Delicious

Kyla Haddad

Very very bad experience with KTK restaurant. We had to wait for almost 40 mins for three dosas and teas. We were seated for very long time. The food was realy bad. No flavors at all and expensive too. However the front staff was very nice.Will not suggest here for indian food.

Alpesh Jhatta

Tasty food!!!

Terry Chow

Really loud music coming out of kitchen area.
