Vij's · Restaurant · Vancouver
Vikram Vij's Cambie Village room, home to the wine-marinated lamb popsicles in fenugreek cream sauce.
Vij's is a Vancouver Indian institution. Vikram Vij opened it in 1994, and it has been rewriting what Indian food means in the city ever since, now from a striking purpose-built space at 3106 Cambie Street in Cambie Village.
Vij's holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand in the Guide's Vancouver selection, and Vikram Vij stands as one of Canada's best-known chefs, an India-born restaurateur who helped redefine how the country eats Indian food. His kitchen treats Indian technique as something that keeps evolving.
The signature is unmissable: wine-marinated lamb popsicles in a fragrant fenugreek cream sauce, a dish so identified with the restaurant that regulars order it on reflex. The menu changes with the seasons and the market across both vegetarian and meat dishes, so the smart move is to order broadly across the table and let the kitchen show its range.
Vij's is popular and the room turns steadily, so weeknights are the best shot at an easy table while weekends fill fast. Walk-ins are welcome, with the bar a fine place to wait, and a private dining room is available on request for larger groups.
