Indian cuisine in Kelowna

There is a new addition to the restaurants offering Indian Cuisine in Kelowna and I had the opportunity to try this restaurant the very first day after its grand opening. I must say the food at this new place called 'Samosas' is delicious and ambience is purely Indian. We already have two other popular Indian restaurants in Kelowna i.e. Dawett and Chutney and now we have another feather in the hat 'Samosas.' This new restaurant drive its name from a tasty indian snack 'samosas' which is a crispy and spicy triangular pastry filled with potatoes ,onions and sometimes peas and cottage cheese. This colourful downtown dining room beckons with spicy offerings at very reasonable rates such as butter chicken , chana masala and variety of tasty appetizers. The name Dawett is a destorted version of hindi word 'Dawat' which means feast.

In my personal opinion, although dawett serves authentic Indian food and is very busy during the weekends, it seriously needs some refurnishing as its ambience has lost it magic touch. Dawett and Samosas are both within walking distance from queensway station ,Kelowna and just blocks away from each other whereas Chutney is located on Pandosy street. I would rate the three as follows:-


Based on interiors and decor

  1. Samosas
  2. Chutney
  3. Dawett

Based on food and variety of dishes

  1. Dawett
  2. Chutney
  3. Samosas

Dawett and Chutney are operated by the same owner so there is quite a simmilarity between the dishes. All my friends praise the Mango Lassi of 'Dawett' which is a non alcoholic drink made from mango and yogurt. In 'Chutney', chaat as an appetizer is worth a try and if you happen to be at 'Samosas' for a fine Indian cuisine experience, butter chicken is highly recommended. If you have any questions regarding Indian Cuisine email me at aditi.jasra@gmail.com. Until next time enjoy Indian food.

Mad Mango Cafe and Cafe Soleil, Kelowna


It was a bright Sunday morning and I didnt feel like going to work but I motivated myself, got ready and was off to work. Usually I try to pack something healthy for lunch but today was an exception. I decided to try a new restaurant rather than my usual picks which is often Samosas and Dawett. There are so many lunch options in downtown Kelowna that it's not easy to pick a place. I went to Mad Mango Cafe to enjoy a quick bite as my colleagues often praised their food. I had heard from friends that they have yummy soups and sandwiches. Mad Mango Cafe is located on 551 Bernard Avenue in downtown Kelowna. This restaurant offers chinese and malaysian food as well as some contempary food. At Mad Mango Cafe, you can enjoy a hot breakfast or try one of their lunch specials. I really enjoyed my lunch which consisted of sweet and sour chicken with some rice and spring rolls as an appetizer. Everytime I pass by this cafe, it seems jam-packed with customers. Just next to Mad Mango Cafe is Cafe Soleil. I once tried breakfast special at Cafe Soleil and I regret it. It was not only pricey for a breakfast special but had nothing good about it. Although Cafe Soleil is more spacious than Mad Mango Cafe but isn't that good in terms of food. Breakfast served to me was not only cold, my scrambled eggs looked complete disaster. I wouldn't want to try Cafe Soleil again.
