- SShastineSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 4, 2023The food was excellent, complex flavors, fresh ingredients, spice-level was as requested. The restaurant was in a fairly nondescript building and the decor was humble so we were expecting to have a perfectly acceptable but not exciting meal, we were very pleasantly surprised. It was a great meal! I won't say "for the price" because that implies it was not as good as food we might have paid much more for. The truth is it was as good or better as many high-end, high price Indian restaurants I have been to over the years.More infoHariyali Express Indian Cuisine & BarPrice: Moderate• Indian• North Vancouver•4.2
