This is our favorite Indian in all of the Kootenays and we come here every time we're in town. You can taste the individual spices in the curries which are super flavorful and while we just got takeout the space is well presented and inviting. Thanks so much!

Such a wonderful experience here. My husband had never tried indian food before (I know, right!?) and I have been bugging him for years just to give it a try. We live 2 hours away, drove to Cusine of India for date night and were extreemly impressed. The food was amazing, fresh, hot and from what we could tell, homemade. The service was 5 star in itself. Our host was so attentive. He seemed to read our mind and knew even before we knew ourselves, what we needed. The portions were substantial. We had enough to take home, which we will be enjoying for tomorrow night's supper. My husband? LOVED IT!! and now has claimed Indian cuisine is now his favorite. Thank you for making our date night so memorable.

Came in for the lunch special and was really impressed with everything. Ordered the lamb curry, tender flavourful lamb and some Chana masala ( chickpea stew) and curried lentils, spiced basmati rice and rice pudding for dessert. Naan was perfectly fresh and buttered. Gentleman who served me was very attentive and didn’t even charge me for an extra side of rice that I asked for because I wanted to clean the plate the food was so good. Only thing I could criticize was that the Indian music was kinda loud, but otherwise an awesome experience. If I lived in Castlegar I would be here regularly. Best Indian lunch special I’ve ever had. Thanks
