Always in the running for best Indian food in Vancouver, Sami's is still going strong. For a short time there was a second, downtown location, but that restaurant left the warm nest of chef Sami Lalji and went off in its own direction. This means that those wanting to try the original fabulous East-meets-West South Asian cooking will have to make the trip out to a strip mall off West Broadway again. But the food is worth the journey, offering inventive and delicious dishes -- try the Mumbai-blackened New York steak set atop spiked mashers with blueberry coriander jus -- that won't put a large hole in your wallet. Service is efficient and knowledgeable. No reservations accepted; expect a line.
