Nestled in the heart of Downtown Vancouver, Silk Lounge (132 Powell Street) is a sanctuary of elegance and flavor. From the moment you walk through its doors, you are transported into a world of luxury, where intricate Buddha-themed décor, soft ambient lighting, and plush seating create an atmosphere of serenity and indulgence. Every detail, from the ornate furnishings to the soothing music, is meticulously curated to offer a dining experience unlike any other.

The owner, Gary Sidhu, is a visionary restaurateur from India who has traveled the world for five years, collecting and curating décor to design and build custom furniture pieces. At the entrance of the dining establishment, guests are welcomed by a 135-year-old turquoise teak wood door, embellished with multicolored elephants imported directly from India.

A Culinary Journey of Bliss

Silk Lounge doesn’t just serve food—it crafts an experience. Each dish is a masterpiece, infused with the freshest ingredients with aromatic herbs and spices that awaken the senses. The fusion menu is a celebration of Indian and French culinary artistry, with both traditional and innovative creations designed to delight every palate. Whether you savor a rich, spice-infused curry or opt for one of their many vegetarian or vegan options, the quality and authenticity shine through in every bite.

Bollywood Nights & Tiffin Offerings

Silk Lounge transforms into a Bollywood-style lounge, igniting the night with vibrant energy. After 10 pm on weekends, the venue becomes a lively hotspot where guests can immerse themselves in music and culture—a seamless blend of indulgence and festivity.

Beyond its dazzling ambiance and exquisite dishes, Silk Lounge is also giving back to its community. Their initiative provides affordable tiffins for their neighbors, ensuring that gourmet-quality Indian cuisine is accessible to all. It’s a thoughtful offering that highlights their commitment to both luxury and inclusivity. 

Silk Lounge delivers about 4,000 tiffins each week in Vancouver. Tiffin service has a storied history in India and is an affordable alternative to grocery stores with a distinct advantage over subscription meal kits: You don’t need to cook.

The Ultimate Dining Destination

For food lovers, culture seekers, and those who appreciate the finer things in life, Silk Lounge is the place to be. Whether you’re looking for an intimate dinner, a lively weekend gathering, or a late-night Bollywood-inspired escape, this hidden gem in Vancouver delivers an experience that feeds both the soul and the senses.
