My boss recommends this place. We come here when we visit Whistler. They used to lunch years ago. They do just dinner maybe they changed it since Covid.Still love this place. Good taste and volume, friendly service.I had lamb vindaloo. I should ask spicier, I said 2"

Does anyone realize how hard it is to find employees these days? Or afford them in this day & age? I'm so disappointed by how many bad reviews there are simply because of the slow service! Everyone is short staffed, have some compassion.THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! I love indian food and this is by far some of the absolute best my boyfriend and I have both had. We feasted and cant wait to come back for more! Come here for a delicious meal, friendly staff, a chill atmosphere and a full tummy. Give yourself some time, not everything has to happen as instantaneous as your phone - good food takes a little time. Thank you for the amazing meal!

By chance, came across this new little gem. The wonderful aroma of the exotic spices tantalize all your senses from the moment you walk in, bringing your taste buds alive! The chef/owner greeted and seated us. He was very personable and attentive to our needs. It was our 10th wedding anniversary and he treated us to a lovely dessert to complete our meal! My husband had the butter chicken, rice and we shared the garlic naan and I had the most delicious chicken Tika Masala ever! We ordered medium heat, which was perfect for us. I cooked my palate with a smooth, creamy and lightly sweet mango Lassi, while hubby enjoyed an IPA. I wish we lived closer as we would definitely be regular customers! We highly recommend this authentic, but original restaurant. Essence of India, is the perfect name!!

This is the only place to get Indian food in Squamish. It's so delicious and the chefs and staff are so kind. Do it. And then go back again!
