Amogha brings regional Indian cooking to Vancouver's Main Street — seven states, one kitchen, no clichés.Led by Chef & Co-owner Ravi Bobba, the kitchen doesn't do generic curry-house Indian, and it doesn't do fusion. We cook the real thing: Chettinad from Tamil Nadu, the river-belt heat of Andhra, Hyderabadi Nizami biryani, Mangalorean ghee roasts from Karnataka, Malabar seafood from Kerala, and the classics of Punjab and Old Delhi. Whole spices, ground in-house. Fire where it counts.Signature plates run from slow-braised Nihari Lamb Chops with hand-pulled Malabar paratha to traditional Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani.Alongside is a full bar treating Indian aromatics — tamarind, cardamom, saffron, rose — as primary ingredients, not garnish: tamarind sours, cardamom old fashioneds, saffron martinis, each built to pair with the food.Seven states. One kitchen. Come hungry.

    Went in their first week of opening. They're still working out some service kinks but overall, great food and drinks. We started with the Main Street Margharita, the chaat masala rim added an nice twist and the Last Rose Standing had lovely floral notes...both were very refreshing. To eat we started with the sesame chicken pakoras, flavourful, large portion for an appetizer, and upon recommendation from our server, Daya, the Hyderabad lamb pepper fry, deep, rich flavours, also a good sized portion for starter share. For mains we had the stuffed baby eggplant and the goat palau. The flavours were good but because we had just snacked on the lamb, those deep flavours made these 2 dishes seem more bland. As we ate more, the subtle flavours shone through more. Was disappointed that there were only 3 baby eggplants in the dish, with 2 people, you would think there would be at least 2 per person, and maybe some other vegetables, or chopped eggplant to fill the dish. To finish we shared the raismalai panacotta, not too sweet and very flavourful. There were a few gaps in service, one drink took much longer than the other and same with the food, but Daya was excellent in her recommendations and the right amount of attentiveness to the table, realising and apologising for the delays. We would go back again to try some of the other dishes.
