I went in with no expectations and found myself really enjoying the food. The food came out promptly, the servers were available and checked in often. The atmosphere was chill, it was a quiet rainy evening but I felt so content.
The food was presented in a unique way and delicious as well. I had the Veggie samosas, garlic nan, Shahi paneer, and a bed of rice.

By far the best Indian restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. I’ve dined at places all around the world, including North America, Asia, and Europe, and this exceptional spot stands out. The spices were perfectly balanced and authentic, with flavors dialed in to perfection. The host was amazing, providing clear, helpful information about menu options and recommendations tailored to our needs. The mango lasi was spot on, delicious and well-curated. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable meal. If you’re seeking an exceptional Indian dining experience with attentive service and genuine flavors, this is the place to go.

Best Indian cuisine in Nanaimo! Fresh & super delicious food, and huge portions! Great price for the excellent quality of food. Owner is very friendly and humble. Staff is attentive and friendly. Environment is clean and not noisy… I often eat lunch here with a friend after church. Acquaintances who tried a variety of foods here (from my recommendation) were not disappointed & kept coming back! My favourite is shrimp biryani, but everything here is just fantastic!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance is cozy, and the aroma of spices instantly sets the mood for a great meal.
The food was nothing short of incredible. Every dish was packed with authentic flavors—highly recommend the combo meals as each comes with pakoras, a main dish, rice or naan, a drink and a sweet dessert called Gulab Jamun! The portions were generous, and the presentation was lovely.
What really sets this place apart is the impeccable service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and answered all of my many question. You can tell they take pride in what they do.
If you’re looking for a fantastic dining experience with authentic Indian flavors, Paradise Indian Cuisine is the place to go. Can’t wait to visit again!

I visited last week while passing through from Calgary. Delicious food rich in flavours and colours. Everything was great! I had chicken, beef and shrimp dishes with Naan. There was more than enough and I took some away for a meal the next day! It was exactly what I needed. Very pleasant staff and environment.

Ordered several dishes and was impressed that each one had its own distinct flavoring. They nailed the spice level exactly as requested, and the portions were generous—great value. The meat was cooked perfectly (not overcooked, which is a win!). A couple of small notes: I wished the garlic naan actually had more garlic flavor, and it would have been nice to get a refill on my soda. Overall though, really good food and worth recommending. I’d definitely suggest giving them a try.

Tried this place for the first time on my visit to Nanaimo. Fortunately, all other Indian restaurants were closed, and we got to try this 1. Their menu is extensive, and the food was pretty good, too. I ordered the combo, which comes with pakoras, and, 1 main dish, gulab jamun, and a pop. We also got garlic chicken Tikka and chicken kulcha + lamb keema Naan. I highly recommend their Naan as it’s the best I have had so far. Their Naan is next level. Service was great by Gurleen. Prices are also reasonable. Their kitchen is also kinda see through and the seating was comfortable. I highly recommend this restaurant if you live here or are planning to visit Nanaimo.
Visited again, twice in 2 days, food is amazing, and the service is good. Manisha and Narmada served us this time, and they were very friendly, accommodating and polite. Must visit!
