Palki Indian Restaurant, Commercial Drive / Grandview, Vancouver

Vaneat Passes....fail

Came in, I was expectin' a great meal and service (being it just opened after being suddenly out for 15 minutes).

Sat down anywhere I wanted, cool I thought. Over to my right was a group of hipsters ordering as we sit.
Hand over my passes as I casually glance around the ambiance of the restaurant, "Looks good."

Roughly 20 minute goes by before the first plate comes (samosas and the lamb). The samosas, small albeit, were fresh and crispy. Now the lamb, I'm pretty sure they microwaved it, or let it overcook and didn't time it properly. Either way, the abundance of spices helped masked the situation.

Decent still I think to myself, as I am waiting for the feast.

Shortly after, to my relief, comes the na'an and butter chicken. Stuporly, I glaze at the butter chicken. "Are these guys serious?" 4 pieces of chicken in a mini bowl just slightly bigger than a petri dish. I applaud the nice touch of the mini candle underneath to keep things hot, but seriously?

The bread was sizeable....in which I got full off that. Feeling hungry still, I stupidly have the butter chicken sauce as soup. Not bad.... but not what I expected.

Overall, if i knew I was going to get f'ed, I would have got some lube. I commend the place on some good flavour profile, but their execution with VANEATS was the disappointment. Maybe that's why this restaurant teamed up with VANEATS..or who knows? All I know is, I won't be going to Palki nor trying new stuff at VANEATS.

Gym time.
