Vij’s Menu Prices Canada 2026: What Dinner at Vancouver’s Famous Indian Restaurant Costs
Here is the straight answer on Vij’s menu prices: snacks run $16.50 to $26.50, vegetarian khana dishes cost $21 to $31, and the seafood and meat khana mains land at $37 to $42. Breads and rice are a flat $5. Most people spend about $50 to $70 per person for a full dinner at the Cambie St flagship. All prices in CAD, verified October 23, 2026. I pulled these from the brand-managed DoorDash menu, since Vij’s own site (vijs.ca) posts no price table and routes ordering to DoorDash. The Moti Mahal menu prices article covers another upscale Indian option if you are comparing rooms.
Vij’s Menu Prices 2026: The Full Price List
Vij’s menu is built around khana, which is Vikram Vij’s tasting-style format. You order a few dishes and share everything family-style. The menu is split into snacks, vegetarian khana, and seafood and meat khana, and every price below is what the restaurant itself has set on its DoorDash menu. I have not invented a single figure.

Price honesty note: Vij’s publishes no dine-in price table, so these are the restaurant’s own prices from its brand-managed DoorDash menu. Delivery and dine-in prices may differ slightly. Nothing here is estimated.
The $21 to $42 khana band is what catches people off guard. Two people ordering a snack each, one khana each and bread can still keep things near $110 before tip if you share. And if you are wondering what a standard Toronto Indian restaurant charges by comparison, the Banjara Indian menu prices show the same style of food at roughly half these numbers.

What Should You Order at Vij’s?
Honestly? This is not a place to play it safe with butter chicken. The dishes only Vikram Vij makes are the point of the whole room. Here is my shortlist.
The Frisky and Naughty Alpaca Biryani at $42 is the most expensive dish on the menu, and I would order it anyway. When else are you eating alpaca in Vancouver? The Lamb Rogan Josh at $39 is the crowd favourite for a reason. Deep, slow, properly spiced. And the Garam Masala Chicken snack at $23 is the best value opener on the board.
Vegetarian friends are not an afterthought here. The Eggplant Pakora in Yoghurt Curry at $26 sounds odd and tastes like the sleeper hit of the menu. Skip nothing with “kofta” in the name. And order the coconut rice pudding. The bruleed top on a $16 dessert is worth the drama.
Vij’s Lamb Curry and Naan Prices
Is Vij’s Worth the Price?
Look, $42 for a biryani is real money. But Vij’s is a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant, four years running (2023 through 2026, per the official site). That rating exists precisely for places like this: exceptional food that still costs less than a tasting menu across town.
Is it worth it? For a special dinner, yes. For a Tuesday takeout craving, probably not, and Vij’s knows it. The room, the service and the name on the door are baked into every price. You are not paying for curry. You are paying for Vikram Vij’s curry. There is a difference, and one bite of the short ribs will tell you exactly what it is.
One honest caveat: you cannot walk in and grab a $12 lunch special. This is an evening room, 5:30pm to 10pm, and the pricing matches. If budget is the priority, most Indian restaurants in Canada feed two people for what Vij’s charges one. That is the trade.
