Vij's

Vij's is an Indian restaurant at 3106 Cambie Street in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, run in the tradition of chef Vikram Vij, one of Canada's best-known Indian chefs. It is on the 2026 Michelin Guide's Bib Gourmand list, which recognises quality cooking at moderate prices. The restaurant is associated with modern Indian cooking, in which classic spices and techniques are combined with local ingredients and a lighter, more contemporary presentation than traditional restaurant curries. The signature offering is the modern Indian curry, and Vij's has long been associated with lamb preparations, though the menu changes and the specific dishes should be confirmed with the restaurant. Diners can expect layered spicing, often built from freshly toasted and ground spices, served with rice, breads and vegetable sides. Vegetarian choices are typically well developed, as in much Indian cooking. The dining room is warm and colourful, with an upscale but relaxed feel that sits between a casual curry house and a formal restaurant. The noise level is moderate to lively on busy nights, and dress is casual to smart casual. The beverage list has long been part of the appeal, with wines selected to match spiced food, along with beer, cocktails and chai or other non-alcoholic options. A meal costs about CAD 45 to 90 per person, depending on dishes and drinks. Reservations are recommended for dinner, particularly on weekends, and groups should book ahead. The restaurant's website gives the current booking method. Cambie Street is a main corridor served by the Canada Line, and the restaurant is within reach of the King Edward and Oakridge-41st stations by bus or a short ride.
