Reviews for East Is East in Vancouver, BC
Absolutely a must visit for anyone who enjoys eastern flavours.. their unlimited menu option (or as we Indians like to call it -... unlimited thali) is perfect and allows you to try the various delicious things on offer.. the mango prawns were my favourite.And do leave space for dessert! A 10/10 for service, ambience and the live music too! Read more
A delicious dining EXPERIENCE! Take a magic carpet ride and be transported to an exotic land..we did not expect any of this, as... we stopped in casually, having neglected our bodies’ needs for nourishment past noon..luckily we ended up here, it was notbusy as we entered, but filled up as we sat down. Servers were efficient and polite, dressed in beautiful ethnic styles. Foodwas beautifully spiced. I enjoyed the eggplant & potato-cauliflower wraps, hubby had lamb curry. Chai tea was supremely hot &perfect, not too sweet. They give you a little sample while ordering, which of course, led us to ordering fullcups..scrumptious! Most impressionable was the decor and ambiance with carefully thought out details, and none of it would havehad the same appeal without the impeccable food. Read more
East is East. A little out of the way for us but I have wanted to come for a long time now. Finally tonight was the night. ... There were musicians playing, making for a delightful evening. The service was a warm and authentic. The vibe of the place isamazing and the food was completely off the charts. When we were seated we were offered tea as a welcome and that set the tone. The staff were attentive and helpful in figuring out the offerings. The chairs are meant for small bottoms so get a booth ifyou can. Well if you need to. I have to say. This is a must visit restaurant for Vancouver. With outstanding vegetarian andnon vegetarian dishes. Read more
Delicious unlimited food if you order the Chai Feast tasting menu, which allows you to try everything on their menu in small... portions, which is exactly what I love to do regardless of what restaurant I go to! I personally prefer to get lots of differentitems and try more things, so usually that means needing to come with a group of people and sharing plates, but in thisrestaurant, it makes it great to be able to come to alone as well as with a group because there are so many options to try! Ialso loved the unique detailed decor and the whole atmosphere of the restaurant too, it was a fusion unlike anything else I'dseen before, and would definitely come again! The waitress even heard it was our friend's birthday after we had finished eatingand paid, and gave her a free dessert to go before we left! Read more
Lovely ambiance and piping hot chai. We elect to dine during the musical performances over the flamenco, but it’s a lovely... atmosphere any time - from the Himalayan salt walls and candles to the rugs and ceiling decor, it’s a beautiful space. Thetasting feast is your best bet for trying a little bit of everything off the menu. Portions seem small but are perfect tastingsize (unlimited eats so bring an empty stomach!) Service is a little lackadaisical, but this place still deserves 5 stars. Read more
Great ambiance and decor. All wood and pink salt rock wall. Beautiful everywhere you look. Music was relaxing and soft on the... ear. Food was amazing, great levels of flavor and color. Everything was delicious. The staff was very nice and helpful. Look outfor performance night and shows. Read more
We went there for New Year’s Eve and the location was great and staff very friendly. Food was ok but we were pressured to... finish due to kitchen closing. But the decor and atmosphere was great. Live band was really good and made for great backgroundmusic. Desserts were not good at all. We didn’t eat either and told them but they still charged us. The ginger apple chai teawas incredible. All in all a pleasant experience Read more
Amazing! Amazing food, the multi course dinner suggested by who I believe was the manager was a great choice, I got to sample a... variety of foods that were all consistently delicious, even the mango chicken was amazing and I don't like mango ???? the musicand dancers they had as entertainment were fantastic, truly something Im glad I didn't miss! Despite being a busy time the waitstaff were diligently trying to keep everything ordered and everyone happy, I waited about half an hour to get in and I am veryfortunate to not have given up because it made my night! If I wasn't from out of town id go again and bring my family becausethat was just a highlight of my trip! Read more
