Agra Tandoori Express

The customer service here is terrible. I walked into order food and I walked in on the staff sitting in a chair laying on their phone. They continue to sit there and looked up at me as if wondering what I'm doing in a business that serves food. And how could I interrupt her. Cuz she's so busy trying to become a famous tiktoker! This person needs to be fired whoever they are. I didn't stick around to give him the time of day, I just turned around and walked right out when I saw this selfish person was there.

The worst Indian restaurant in BC. This was my first and last order from this restaurant. They don’t even deserve one star. The restaurant is just full of stale food that been sitting there for long. The food is stale enough to make you sick. The guy who was working there was not so happy with his job . His only job is to microwave stale food and he is not happy with that. I’ve visited many restaurants all over Canada in last 4 years and I can say this is worst among the all.

Today, I ordered dal makhni, shahi paneer and naan for take out. When I call to the restaurant and the employee who was assisting me seems like he didn’t want to take the order because he asked me three four time to cancel my order. When I reach there to collect my order, he prepared stale food for my order. When I asked him to make a fresh food. He replied,” he can’t make it”. After that, when I opened the bag. There was chicken. I went all the way go back from the downtown to Agra tandoori express. The guy was just sitting on the chair and when I asked him,” what was my order?” He knew what I ordered and what he gave to me. Even he didn’t felt sorry for that. I can’t eat chicken because of my health issues. If I eat it because of his mistake than I could have to face health problem just because of this guy. This is my first and last order from this restaurant.

Ordered a samosa, it was tasteless tbh, not enough spices, even a bag of Lay's chips is more satisfying. Also ordered lamb curry, honestly it was SOoOo **watery** and virtually no spices or taste, I called the store to complain. Save your money, and more importantly, time and just go somewhere else.

Firstly, they have THE OUTRAGEOUSLY BEST food. I had ordered butter chicken and now I can't stop craving for it. Secondly, the people there are so warm and friendly! No complaints, just the best place for Indian food!

Great value for price. Really tasty and they told me how to prepare each dish properly if I took it home cold. Excellent rich but refreshing mango lassi. Chicken samosa ~3$ with af flaky casing and fresh mint chutney. The Lamb curry was pretty good. What I discovered today was the paneer. I took it home, heated 3 or 4 at a time added the spice after heating, as recommended and I kept going until it was gone : the tamarind sweet and sour sauce is so good I'm going to look up the recipe to use on my home cooked dishes. It's exciting because I just found tamarind and have been contemplating what to do with it This place is so small and I imagine overlooked but I hope with covid 19 fading there will be flocks of students and others to boost this lovely little place up.

The restaurant business is such a complicated enterprise. Take Vancouver, hundreds of Indian food restaurants all competing for your hard earned bucks, and battling all kinds of external situations, pandemic-related, etc. My point is, you'd better be good, otherwise you are doomed. Well, Agra Tandoori Express is not good. Ordered a few items from their menu and it was all bad. Started with vegetable pakoras, hard and flavourless old?. Butter chicken is a watered down sauce that is far from the original. Chicken biryani that looked like it had been cooked a week ago and only put in the microwave a few minutes before pickup. Even their Naan bread was hard as a rock. This is not a cheap option either, but definitely not worth it. Not coming back...

Very disappointing. The below average food is only made worse by the fact that everything has been sitting out far too long. The stale chicken pakoras I ate tasted like gravel that someone had tried to microwave. I couldn't even finish the tiny 10 dollar portion I ordered. The butter chicken somehow managed to taste both incredibly dry and watery and diluted at the same time. Save yourself the stingy overpriced mediocre food this place serves and order from one of the authentic high quality Indian restaurants nearby.

Felt like I have to say something after seeing all these negative comments. I would say this place is not too bad at all. Had the butter chicken curry and it turned out to be savoury and delicious. Most importantly, this is a budget-friendly spot to grab some food. A bowl of butter chicken costed me only 7.30$, which I considered way too inexpensive and affordable for students. I don’t get why this place got so many 1 star reviews.

The worst curry I’ve ever had. Terrible value; for $11 I got 4 pieces of meat the size of dice and over cooked as well. Extremely watery and mediocre taste. You’ll have more than half the rice left when you’re finished with the meat. Stay as far away from here as you can. For the cost saving students that’ll be unfortunate enough to eat here, I truly feel sorry for you.
