The Vision Behind Vancouver’s Chef‑Driven Indian Cuisine
At Hariyali express, we serve you the best of Indian comfort food, slow-cooked curries, smoky tandoori bites, biryanis and street-style chaats packed with punchy flavours. Inspired by the bustling food stalls of India and crafted with care right here on Commercial Drive, it’s a feast that’s bold, vibrant, and made to be shared.
At the Tandoor, Inspired by India
Chef Anil Rawat’s journey began in the kitchens of India in 2004 and took him across Germany before finding home on Vancouver’s vibrant Commercial Drive. With over 20 years of global experience, he brings soul to every plate blending tradition with modern flair.
Specializing in smoky Tandoori Chicken, tender Afghani Malai Tikka, and hand-crafted breads like Punjabi Tandoori Roti and Lachha Paratha, his menu reflects a deep respect for Indian roots and a love for fresh, local ingredients.
Whether you’re here for dine-in, takeout, or Indian catering, Chef Anil’s food delivers bold flavour, heartfelt hospitality, and a taste of India worth sharing.
The Curry Craftsmen
Chef Surinder Singh is a master of Indian curries each one a tribute to the rich culinary traditions of the subcontinent. From the smoky depth of Amritsari Butter Chicken to the coastal heat of Goan Prawn Curry, and the slow-simmered comfort of Kashmiri Rogan Josh, his dishes are layered with history, spice, and soul.
With over 20 years of experience spanning India, Singapore, and Vancouver, Chef Surinder brings both authenticity and innovation to every plate. Since 2007, he’s helped define chef driven Indian cuisine in Vancouver, now co-leading our family run restaurant on Commercial Drive. His curries are the heart of our menu and the reason guests return time and again.
A Taste of Tradition, From Noon to Night
At lunch, our tables fill with the aromas of freshly baked naan, fragrant curries, and hearty North Indian thalis. Each dish crafted with age-old techniques and high-quality ingredients. Sip a hot masala chai, tear into soft tandoori roti, and let the spices do the talking.
By evening, the space comes alive with laughter, conversation, and the comforting scent of slow-cooked curries, tandoori grills, and steaming biryani. Meals are shared, stories exchanged, and plates passed hand to hand just like back home.
Whether you’re joining us for a quiet lunch or a lively dinner, we invite you to enjoy authentic Indian food in Vancouver, served with heart, heritage, and a little extra heat.
