Sabri Indian Cuisine - Saanich

My family used to frequent Sabri's when I was a child and we always loved itWe went back recently and it was still amazing.

First off, I really wanted to like this place, but now that I've tried them I am utterly perplexed as to why they have such a good ratings on other

I'll never return to this place It's gone down hill It use to be delicious and priced well.

First off, I really wanted to like this place, but now that I've tried them I am extremely disappointed. I ordered the butter chicken, pakoras and Lamb curry. Both the Lamb curry and the butter chicken were absolutely SWIMMING in oil, if I had a dollar for every circle of oil I would be very rich. My biggest issue with this joint were the sauces; they were not creamy and thick, which is what you would expect from a curry, nor were they spicy, which is what I requested. Both sauces were the consistency of water and the spices were almost non existent. Unfortunately I can say that the store bought sauces / curries are much better, and I don't even like those very much, so that's saying a lot. The butter chicken had cloves in it left and right which I constantly had to spit out for fear of choking . The rice was... fine and the pakoras were decent, but its pretty difficult to mess those up. I am from Surrey, so I may be a bit spoiled when it comes to Indian food, but this was just disgusting and quite possibly the worst Indian food that I have ever had. I hope that this criticism is constructive.

Poor quality lunch buffet with many items on the cool'ish side. Doughy and dry (weirdly at the same time) naan that was simply terrible. Chalky dal. Friendly server and very cheap pricing isn't enough to convince us to return for a second try.
