Judge’s Indian Cuisine

I always get my takeout Butter Chicken and Beef Vindaloo (super spicy) here. They give you free pop too for delivery orders. We’ve been ordering from them for so many years now that they know our kid from when he was first born to now. Our kid actually runs to the door screaming «HELLO!» and «THANK YOU!» to the delivery guy whenever he comes and the guy just laughs and laughs at how big our kid has gotten. So nice and neighbourly. After so many years, they’ve always been consistent and tasty.
Their stuffed Naan with Spinach and Paneer is great and their Appetizer Sampler with Samosas (just like moms) is perfect for a family of three. Generous portions of good, yummy food too — our order usually lasts us for two to three meals. Definitely recommended. I feel like I have to apologize to them for taking so long to post a review!

Great food. Loved it would definitely recommend for a group. My friends enjoyed great night of I din food and drinks. Jorma chicken is my favorite. Mango Lassi was very fresh tasting

I come here all the time with my girlfriend for a casual bite. Great spice, great portions, very tasty prepared fresh, good price point, friendly and honest staff. Would recommend over other Indian buffets in the area.

Great place to have good meal. Inside ambiance is bit dark and set the mood for good meal at night.
I had chicken buriyani. The chicken was soft and tender. They could have marinate bit more to get the flavour in to the meat. Chicken was covered with multi colour basmati rice. Good portion size for adult. There were generous quantity of chicken pieces. The buriyani came with small cup of raytha which is bit watery. 15/​=
Accidentally or due to miss communication, they delivered extra meal. Later, when I talk to the manager looking guy, they took away very professionally.
I felt at the end they were bit rushed (7.30pm) after our meal to clean the table while no one was waiting and many seats not occupied in the restaurant.
My friend enjoyed his meal throughly. No complaints from him.
I will go back again to try something new.

We ordered butter chicken (again). It’s so good. And I ordered lamb korma turn out its just as good as butter chicken.

Entertainment Coupon must go.
The décor is modern, and looks classier than most Indian restaurants. It’s on the other side of the street from Indian Bistro, but somehow, I always walk past without giving this place a second look.
The service was excellent, and for a busy Downtown location, it wasn’t too crowded or loud.
Also, probably the most creamy butter chicken I’ve had so far. Portion sizes were decent too. The garlic naan was extremely fresh. Definitely pick garlic naan over rice!
NOTE: this place has both a mobile and paper coupon in the Entertainment Coupon book/​website.

I love the diner for 1 for only CAD 12. It includes butter chicken, rice and two naans. You can eat in or you can take it home. Perfect for those times you don’t want to cook. You can also make your order online and get two sodas for free. The only thing I can complain about is the selection of music videos they have. They are like 5 – 6 songs in an infinite loop.

I’ve received their delivery a few times. The food is good, and the free delivery (along with 2 free Cokes!) is a really nice plus.
My first time receiving delivery from there though, they forgot the 2 Cokes. I called back, and another delivery was made for the Cokes. A few weeks after, I ordered delivery again, and the exact same thing happened, so another delivery for Cokes was made. Both times, the delivery man looked annoyed that he had to return.
Recently, I received their delivery, and instead of receiving baby eggplants like I had ordered, I received a small container of rice (everything else I ordered had arrived). I called them to let them know what I received, and they kept insisting that it was eggplants, and not rice (it was definitely rice. I even sifted through it, looking for eggplants). Then one employee at the restaurant (it seemed like the phone was passed around a few times), yelled that it was definitely eggplants, because he packed it himself. Then he hung up on me. So I called them again, and started over with whoever picked up the phone the second time. They finally agreed to deliver the right dish.
After these experiences, I won’t be eating there again. I think the food is good, but they seem slightly disorganized, and I felt I was treated poorly as a customer.

No frills Indian food, we had the Malabar chicken curry and the staple Tandoori chicken which did not disappoint. The peas pulao was also great. Their version of mango lassi was awesome! We have a pet maltipoo whom the staff offered a drink of water. He had to stay outside which was fine. Will I be back here? Definitely.

Went here for the 12.95 dinner special
Not bad, not bad at all
Of course not the best Indian around, but suitable for a quick dinner
They serve cheap pitchers of beer, too

The food was ghastly! We ordered pakoras, tandoori chicken, curry, naan and not a single item tasted like Indian food. I should have been tipped off by the fact that the place was rather empty at dinner time!
It takes a unique set of talents for someone to cook that horribly!

Nothing special about this place. Ordered Spicy Chicken Malvani. Wasn’t spicy at all. Also it didn’t have any Malwani spices to it. The gravy tasted like Chicken Madras. Malwani curry is made with coconut gravy and spicy malwani masala. It lacked both the main ingredients. They rather call it Chicken Madras. The Garlic naan hardly had any garlic. And the dal shorba was ok.
Food: Meh
Service :Ok
Ambiance: Ok
Worth the price: O_​o

We just ordered delivery from Judge’s for the first time using their online process. We had a great experience! From the time we received our confirmation call with how long it would take (45min), to the time the food arrived it was actually only 40 min. The driver was polite and friendly and the food was piping hot! We ordered the butter chicken, the veggie korma and paneer pakoras with garlic naan and rice. Everything was excellent and our level of spice was a perfect medium. Thanks Judge’s! You are now our #1 go to for a delivery treat! :)

$ 12.95 dinner for one special = bees knees.
Husband had butter chicken, spicy.
I had goat rogan josh, spicy.
So when they spicy they mean spicy — and I declined on «Indian spicy.» Smart move, eryn!
For $ 12.95 though you get a decent portion of meat in sauce, a heap of delicious saffron minted rice and 3 pieces of naan bread. It was the perfect portion and after we finished I was perfectly full and perfectly content.
The service has improved heaps — my water glass (which I may or may not have been chugging) was constantly refilled, our server was very attentive and sweet.
I was definitely way happier than last time u was here — the butter chicken was way more flavourful (and you had a level of heat option) and rice flavour was perfect — best combination of herb and subtle saffron spice, and perfectly fluffy.
Not the absolute best Indian I’ve ever had but definitely super delicious.
And on weekends — buffet! Hurray!

Worst Indian food I ever had. Ordered chicken vindaloo and it tasted like tomato sauce. Also had aloo gobi. It was mush. I would never set foot in there again.

Been here many times every dish I’ve tried has been amazing! Tomato coconut soup, chopped salad, saag, especially the malabar curry chicken is my favourite! Fair prices always great food and fast delivery.

I go from hungry to malnourished at a moment’s notice, so it is crucial when I order delivery that they arrive prompt. And Judges has not let me down yet.
Most of the dishes I’ve tried have been good. Veggie pakoras, beef malvani and peas pulao were all good. The pakoras especially when drenched in their dipping sauce.
I found their butter chicken and chicken seekh kababs a bit bland. But when it’s a Friday night, and I’m too lazy to change out of my pajamas, I will not complain.

Expect something that looks like spaghetti sauce.
It seems most curries here are phaal, or a tomato-​based Indian dish with British origins. The thick consistency makes it easier to disguise chilli peppers and can pack a bigger punch, if you’re a fan of capsaicinoids. Otherwise, skip it. Phaal fail.

Probably the most coziest & homeliest of all the Indian restaurants on Davie here; found that the Ginger one where you have to walk down a flight of stairs & its quiet atmosphere — nah.
But Judge’s is always bustling, that West End feel. And they sure don’t cheap out on the portions or the servers, alway a few more than usual. Usually I get the butter or Tandoori chicken.
Good-​size, nice décor, & best seats are by the window.
Usual street meter parking or Bute side street.

We ate here in July, 2012. Had Chicken Tika Masala, VERY good! Medium spice was perfect for my husband, I could have stepped it up, but lost nothing with the delicious flavor. We split an order, and this was plenty for each of us, as we were not super hungry. The naan was soft & fluffy, found a good deal on the beer that was promoted on a table tent. Loved the sauces and crisp cracker-​like items they brought to start. Our waiter was VERY helpful to us in both the menu, and in recommending local places to visit while touring the city. For the price, we were extremely happy with the experience; if we lived in Vancouver, we would be return fans.
Just a note on a recent review, although he may never see this… it’s absolutely inappropriate to leave a server with no tip if the SERVICE was acceptable! Never punish the server for food quality/​taste unless they abandoned your food in the window for too long, in which case ask the manager to have it re-​made! A servers income relies heavily on tips, as wages are minimal.
