    Wow great flavours and very affordable dining, a definite must try. Spicy Dahl, tandoori shrimp and jeera rice with fresh roti. Friendly staff and the kitchen hit it bang on!

    Went to Lachi for the first time last night for dinner and was not disappointed! We had the dinner for two which could have easily fed three people. The Aloo Gobi was perfectly spiced and the Lamb Rogan Josh tender and delicious. The fluffy Garlic Naan was one of the best I've had. They just moved into their new location which is very clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. Will definitely return!

    Immigrating from the Punjab province in India, owners Surinder and Jaswinder Grewal have made Lachi - Fine Indian Cuisine a local gem since 2009. Newly remodeled location with a cosmopolitan feeling elevates the atmosphere but the same authentic cuisine and warm service everyone enjoys continues! Very much appreciate the new ambiance and stunning menu- it’s our Top few in the whole okanagan! 🇮🇳🏆🥘

    Just wow!! Never imagined I would find exemplary Indian cuisine so far away from India. Their chicken curry was perfect. Good vegetarian options too. Very well priced. Will visit again.

    First day it was a takeout order, food was good but they didn’t put any napkins and cutlery with our food(I didn’t knew that we have to ask for it). Next day Dine in experience was great, their chah was the best. We ordered again same evening, but didn’t like their mixed veg. Attached the picture. Another thing which was annoying me when we went to eat there, server was kept touching her hair, I saw her 3 times taking her hair tie off and putting it back on. You are helping customers and touching their food and then kept touching your hair, no she did not wash them. I’m glad she didn’t serve us. But yes I’ll visit them again.

    Good Indian takeout. We had lamb jalfrezi, chicken korma, rice and naan - all good. For me the sauces both a bit too sweet, but my wife liked that - so depends on taste I guess. Good portions - enough for lunch tomorrow! Thanks.

  • 4/5 DD W. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered the dinner special for pickup. It was ready within 25 minutes. The service was sparse with only 1 attending the pickups and phone orders and payments. Very polite indeed. Food was tasty and spicy. Portions worked well. Price was phenomenal at 35 dollars for 2 to dine. My first time ordering takeout and I'm pretty sure it won't be the last.

  • 5/5 Navpreet G. 2 years ago on Google
    Some of the best Indian food I've ever had. Prices are fantastic for the portions. Mango chicken had just the right amount of sweetness to curry flavours. The texture of the raita was thicker instead of runny and I loved it. Pictured: shaahi paneer, butter chicken, paneer chili

  • 5/5 Ryan M. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been to Lachi multiple times. It is a favorite for Indian food while in pentiction. Great dishes, food is always very flavorful and great quality and quantity is good also. The garlic nann bread is fantastic!

  • 5/5 Lloyd W. 3 years ago on Google
    Great consistent Indian Cuisine

  • 4/5 Roxanne B. 3 years ago on Google
    Très bonne nourriture!! Service rapide!! Personnel très courtois!! Les pains naan sont excellents! Par contre les portions de viande pourraient être un peu plus grosse! Et laJla décoration à repenser. Mais conseille fortement à tous!

  • 5/5 Srilekha E. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing Indian food for reasonable prices. Ordered Veg platter and Chicken biryani while visiting Penticton. Will definitely go back in future.

  • 4/5 Sandra K. 3 years ago on Google
    Lachi's food is so good! Their Naan is made in a traditional oven and is crunchy and chewy all at once. We enjoyed their special - lamb, butter chicken, naan, salad, rice for $24.95. For dessert, we shared their hand made ice cream which tasted like it had caraway, cinnamon, and pistachio in it. The decor is pretty simple and staff were wearing masks and I noticed a server wiping down the chairs as well as the table. We will certainly go back!

  • 5/5 Alex K. 4 years ago on Google

    The food was incredible! I would definitely come back and recommend them. The food was also done very quickly and not super expensive. I was very impressed

  • 5/5 Rosa T. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing Indian food. We ordered the dinner special for 2 and had the Paneer Butter Masala and Lamb Rogan Josh (this lamb dish was SO good!!). The garlic naan bread was also delicious. Love supporting this family establishment.

    Great price, great service, great food.

  • 4/5 Jonny 1 year ago on Google
    Checked out Lachi Fine Indian Cuisine for lunch. They have cheap lunch specials (available until 2:30pm). Their dinner special ($32.95 for 2) also seemed like a great deal. - Aloo gobi adraki ($9.95) - more of a home style, comforting take on aloo gobi. Plenty of rice and the naan (sprinkled with parsley) was fresh. - Lamb saag ($11.95) - lamb was tender and included a couple of chunks. Satisfying, tasty eats at Lachi. Will be back for more next time we’re in town.

    Great Indian foods. Friendly people and a nicely varied menu. Service is fast,and the food is hot and fresh.

  • 5/5 Ashley P. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered the butter chicken lunch special and it was so delicious! It was also a very good deal for the amount of food you got for the price of only around $13/$14!

  • 4/5 Kitty C. 1 year ago on Google
    Indian food usually doesn't fancy me but this one is an exception. Ordered the lunch combo, big portion, food was flavorful and just the right spiciness. Can't believe it's only $12!

  • 4/5 Ryan M. 8 months ago on Google
    Hit this place for lunch based on a recommendation. Lunch was great and less than 15$ which I appreciate. The only thing holding me back for 5 stars as the butter chicken portion was a little light. Would have liked to see more protein in it but overall I’m very happy.

  • 5/5 James P. 8 months ago on Google
    Great new location! Only a few steps from their original! Great Indian food as always, and friendly staff.nice open seating. I would like to see more Indian style decorations around the rest to make it a bit more interesting.

  • 5/5 Janine T. 11 months ago on Google
    Had the dinner for two after a day of climbing, and both were very full afterward. The food was fantastic and came out very quickly, the service was good. The price of the dine for two was incredible. We'll definitely come again when we're here.

  • 5/5 David C. 6 months ago on Google
    Penticton now has an authentic Indian restaurant. Great food with an amazing menu. The staff was super friendly but still left us to ourselves. We had a group of 13 with all sorts of dietary issues that Lachi had answers for every one. The different flavors of foods was incredible and they helped us with choosing an array of different meat and meatless dishes. Our group left with very full bellies. I highly recommend this restaurant. Give it a try!

  • 5/5 Peter B. 5 months ago on Google
    Seated quickly. Service was prompt. Food was excellent! Prices fair. I love good Indian food and Lachi is amongst the best, most authentic Indian food I have enjoyed. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

  • 5/5 Karen E. 6 months ago on Google
    We had ordered food to be delivered, time they estimated to arrive was bang on. The gentleman who delivered our food was courteous and friendly. I had the Curry Chicken, it was fresh and absolutely delicious. Best Samosas I have had in in the Valley ! Most definitely will be going back ! Thank you for an amazing meal !

  • 5/5 Chris T. 4 months ago on Google

  • 1/5 Kb G. 3 years ago on Google
    Found hard plastic in my food But manager or owner did not come forward to acknowledge it on reporting..

  • 3/5 Andy M. 3 years ago on Google
    Did take away and was told it would be 40-45 minutes. That seemed long but whatever, I show up and I'm told they're a bit behind. Then 35 minutes later the food finally is ready. Some is hot some is warm. So all told, food that could have been cooked when I called took 80+ minutes. No real apology for the wait. The food was good but service was terrible.

  • 4/5 Jehad A. 3 years ago on Google
    Good Indian food and great service...always eat here when in Penticton.

  • 3/5 Arthur M. 3 years ago on Google
    Got the dinner combo, Rogan Josh and vindaloo with garlic naan. Tasted good, nice spices in the curry but jesus were they ever oily. We managed to scoop half a bowl of oil from each of the curries. Naan bread the same story, soaked in oil. Cut the oil out and this place would be a winner.

  • 2/5 Louise D. 3 years ago on Google
    We went to Lachi for a dine in experience after a long closure. We were anticipating the delicious food. We were so disgusted by the filthy table top We left with our dinner packed up to go because we felt cleaning protocols were not being met . There were 6 people in their tiny kitchen and not a mask in sight. I hope they concentrate on keeping their customers safe and keep up with safety protocols or risk losing business.

  • 5/5 Hardeep G. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Amin H. 3 years ago on Google
    The service was amazing We ordered chicken tikka masala, vegetables curry, naan and rice. They were quick very friendly and the the atmosphere was great. I noticed the extra cleaning after each table left and they were very conscious of how many people they let in. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Dominique G. 4 years ago on Google
    By far the best Indian food in town. Whether it's at the restaurant or takeout/delivery. It's too good. The butter chicken is the best I've ever had - really flavourful and not super sweet like other places do. Their chili chicken was a very unexpected surprise, I'm now addicted to it. Delicious naan bread. I'm already hungry for the next time I get to go here!

  • 5/5 Laura C. 3 years ago on Google
