4 /5 Midhun Mohan: I recently had a delicious beef roast from Vijay India Restaurant. This is my 4th or 5th time visiting just for their beef roast, and it never disappoints. The beef is clean, tender, and served with a good amount of meat, onions, and curry leaves garnish... We also had masala tea, lime juice, and porotta, which made the meal even better. Everything was satisfying and well-prepared. Highly recommended for beef lovers!

4 /5 Christine Mejiliano: Food is really good! We slightly waited for food to arrive, or maybe the place was packed hence the long waiting time. Otherwise staff were friendly & prices were very reasonable.

5 /5 Patricia Jimeno: My experience is just....wonderful! So pleasure! Just my dad and me ate so much so delicious and an amazing price!

5 /5 Metanoia Nuerotic: If you’re looking for an unforgettable culinary journey through the flavours of India, Vijay India Restaurant is a must-visit. From the moment you step inside, the authentic ambiance transports you straight to the heart of India. The decor is thoughtfully curated, with traditional Indian elements that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The service is exceptional—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home, offering helpful recommendations and ensuring a seamless dining experience. Now, onto the highlight: the food. Every dish is a testament to the rich culinary heritage of India. The spices are perfectly balanced, the flavors vibrant, and the ingredients fresh. Whether it’s the buttery, melt-in-your-mouth chicken tikka masala, the fragrant biryani, or the perfectly crisp samosas, each bite is a celebration of authentic Indian cuisine. Special mention must go to their naan, which is soft and pillowy, and their desserts, especially the gulab jamun, which is the perfect sweet ending to a meal. The mango lassi deserves a special mention. This creamy, refreshing drink strikes the perfect balance between sweetness and tanginess, making it the ultimate complement to the meal. The prawns puri is another standout—succulent prawns cooked in a spiced, flavorful sauce, served with soft, fluffy puris that soak up every bit of the delicious gravy. And for dessert, the carrot halwa is simply divine. Warm, rich, and perfectly sweetened, it’s a comforting and indulgent treat that rounds off the meal beautifully. Vijay India Restaurant is a gem that excels in ambiance, service, and flavor. Whether you’re a seasoned lover of Indian food or trying it for the first time, this place will leave you craving more. Highly recommended!
