Indian Restaurant on Commercial Drive, Vancouver

Set in the heart of East Vancouver at 1128 Commercial Drive, Sula is our flagship Indian restaurant on Commercial Drive and one of the best Indian restaurants in Vancouver, a heritage-inspired room of hand-carved wood, warm earthy tones, and garden-lit calm on The Drive. Every plate begins with six mother gravies simmered fresh each morning and finished with house-ground garam masala, so the regional curries, tandoori classics, and street-food favourites across our Indian menu on Commercial Drive carry the depth of a kitchen that still cooks the traditional way.
