"Friends said that they had discovered an excellent Indian restaurant in the area, so we joined them for dinner at the Pawans Indian Kitchen. Before going to the restaurant I checked the reviews here and in oher sites and the vast majority of the reviews were excellent and near excellent. I was therefore eager to try it. It is a small restaurant with at the most 36 places and decorated with modest furniture, so the ambiance is very domestic and simple. Moreover, for some unknown reason they have a television hanging from the ceiling with no sound. It does not add to the atmosphere and is a visual interference. If they wanted a tv in the premises they could at least have it playing Indian dances and music.I found that it was not such a good value as each plate is around CAD$17 or 18 with addition of naam and something to drink. We were four people and two of us had just tap water. In the end the bill before tip came to CAD$80. We had no dessert. As for the food, I ordered a lamb dish which was just ok while another person ordered a chicken dish which was a little dry. I won't think I will go there again as there are many Indian restaurants in the area. A better one is the Swad Indian restaurant in West Vancouver with a better ambiance and food. It would cost about the same or a little more but it offers a better meal experience. I was disappointed with this restaurant and cannot understand why it has been getting so many excellent reviews."
