Sula Indian Restaurant

Sula is my favourite Indian restaurant on the Drive. I always get the chicken tikka masala and my partner chooses the other dish. This time around she chose the chickpea curry!

The chicken tikka masala here is divine! I don't get the butter chicken because it's not to my liking here.. too sweet. It comes with an adequate amount of chicken and the flavour is delicious. The mild spice is a little too mild for me, so maybe get medium if what you really want is mild!

The chickpea curry was really good as well. Perfectly cooked - the chickpeas weren't too soft for a soft mouth, and the flavours of the spice combination are great. The julienned ginger on top was edible as well - wasn't too strong to eat raw!

Ate both with garlic naan, but could've went for plain naan as the garlic didn't add much to these.

Service is always amazing when I go. The ambiance is nice but it can get loud as there are usually a lot of large parties around when we go. It's quite dark in there as well.

I'll start by saying that we've been going to Sula on Main Street for years and absolutely love it. In a previous review I gave it 4 stars. However my experience at the Commercial Street location was highly disappointing.

First, floor is slippery, perhaps from the grease in the air that settles on the floor. How did I know that? One of our guests slipped on the floor and almost fell. When we told the staff, they showed no compassion at all.

Through the night, food and drinks were late to arrive, wrong orders delivered, and the food generally was mediocre. Appies great but chicken 65 dry and over cooked. Mains just didn't have the flavors and depth I've become accustomed to with this restaurant.

Truth be told if this wasn't Sula, I wouldn't give it a second try. But I've been super happy with the Main Street restaurant so I'll keep patronizing that location. Hopefully the Commercial Street location can raise its game.

My son loves Eula and we have been to both commercial drive and Main Street. I made a reservation for the patio at Main Street location and asked to be moved inside when it turned out to be cold but they couldn't seem to manage to do so. My son and I were seated in a small corner table outside. The food was still delicious especially their pistachio ice cream dessert and naan bread. The pakoras are tasty. The naan bread fresh.

So glad we stumbled upon this restaurant on Commercial. All of the food was tasty, server amazing and decor beautiful. Lovely for a date night or big party. Will be back.

I've come to Sula about 4-5 times now, and everytime I visit, the dishes really hit the spot! We made reservations, so we were seated right away. I'm not sure how fast walk-ins would be.

To start, the potato and pea samosas were crispy and full of flavour. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the samosas - took half of it home for the next day. The chana masala that came with it was so delicious! So much depth and spice in flavour. I will definitely be back to have this dish alone. I enjoyed the cilantro chutney; not so much of the other one that was sweeter, but that is personal preference.

The Tikka masala had a lot of depth in flavour as well. It was spicy, savoury, and creamy, with a hint of sweetness to round it out. Paired with freshly buttered naan, it was such a treat.

Service was decent, although sometimes it took awhile to get the attention of a staff member. Portion sizes are good, given the heaviness of curries. I always think I can eat more than I actually do!

Can't wait to keep coming back to Sula!

We went there for dinner on a rainy evening, luckily the food, the ambiance and the service elevated our spirits. We ordered a bunch of vegetarian and non vegetarian items and they were equally delicious. We especially enjoyed the vada pav in the appetizers, all the main course items were a hit too bhindi masala, butter chicken, daal makhani. Oh and a special shout out to the Tamarind mazcal cocktail, desi and delicious. I also want to mention our very cordial server Misha, who was very informative and kind even though the kids were pretty noisy. A wonderful dining experience! Thank you Sula we have bookmarked you for our future trips to Vancouver. XO

This place is sooo hyped we had to try it. We came in on a Saturday afternoon. We ordered:
Vadapav sliders: they were okay! The vada itself lacked flavor and could use more chutney and spice.
Vegetable Kadai: the vegetables definitely needed to be cooked more. They were still raw and crunchy.
Manglorean chicken: this was good but it just tastes like your basic chicken tikka curry. Was expecting something very different.
Filter coffee: very watered down and I wanted more flavor
I gave it two stars because the ambience was nice (I loved the decor and outdoor seating layout) and the servers was super kind.

I didn't try any of the cocktails but they looked really delicious! If I was to return I would definitely update my review to include those.

I came to Sula Indian Restaurant for a work lunch and they were very accommodating of our large group. Originally I had picked something off their dine in street food menu but then they said it wasn't available so decided to go with the lamb biryani instead. Overall I found the dish a little bit too spicy for my liking and I may have to ask for less spice the next time around. The yogurt did help and I thought that the lamb was soft and delicious. A great option for Indian food if you love spice though!

We loved this restaurant Sula Indian. We've traveled the world and eaten at many Indian restaurants and this is far better than most. Absolutely delicious food and great atmosphere and staff. We hope to return on day soon!

The tandoori chicken was perfection as was the tiki Marsala chicken. In love with the potato naan. Oh my goodness! Yummmmmmm

One of the things I found out about Vancouver is the eclectic cuisine, especially the Asian cuisines. I enjoyed it so much that I sought it out at almost every meal turn that I got.

That includes this Indian restaurant. Generous portions of meat with plenty of flavor, some really tasty drinks, a delicious Gulab jamun, it really works well for anytime.

My only gripe is the lack of free naan. I got it as an appetizer and it is fairly cheap, but it is delicious. I want all the naan my stomach can handle. That pillowy cooked dough that can clean up any mess is just perfect every time. It should not cost me anything to have on the table. Naan on the table is like free bread at an Italian restaurant, or chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant, or crispy wonton noodles at a Chinese restaurant, it has to be there.

Enjoy blissfully.
