Biryani Palace has delicious and authentic Pakistani food. The couple that owns the restaurant are so nice and all the food is prepared fresh daily. I would recommend the Aloo Tikki Chaat, it is very flavourful and comes with a generous amount of sauce to dip in your Naan bread. The chicken 65 was also one of our favorites. Happy Eating!

Consejos para la ciudad
Cómo moverse
Getting Around
There are a few ways you can get around the city. Personally we recommend you walk downtown as we are so close. If walking is not for you try taking the bus right outside our house on Cook St. You can find all you need to know on the BC Transit website, www.bctransit.com.
