Food Guide for Granville Island Public Market: Curry2U

By Celine -
Curry2U is your plane ticket to India while inside Granville Island Public Market. As of this post, I have eaten here 70 times (the most in Granville Island). When I was new in Gumstix, we practically eat here everyday.


Curry2U

Curry 2U is the environmentally-friendly brainchild of Shaffeen Jamal, a second-generation restaurateur with a long family history of serving Vancouverites. The Jamal family’s earlier restaurants–the multi-award-winning Rubina Tandoori and Tamarind Indian Bistro–earned a loyal following. We continue that tradition with a firm focus on value, sustainability, and mouth-watering Indian dishes from the heart of the Granville Island Market.

My Pick

This one is easy. I kept coming back for the butter chicken. It has become an unhealthy comfort food during stressful days. We always get the Bombay Box which includes rice, lentil, one vegetable dish, and one meat dish.

Evening Combo

If you love spicy food and if it's available, you should definitely try their chicken vindaloo as well. It's not just spicy, it's tasty.

Tips and Thoughts

  • According to Arun (one of my ex-colleagues), butter chicken is not a popular food in India. It's one of those Americanized (I am talking about the continent) Indian food.
  • He also mentioned that the food is mostly from North India.
  • During Thursday, they have discounted meals called Tiffin Club. There's usually a line during Thursday.
  • Curry2U is one of the cheapest places to get a meal in the Market. A year ago you can get a full meal for less than $10 (including taxes).
  • At around 5 pm, they have an "Evening Combo" which is 3 items with rice for only $8.10 + GST.

Perfect

Curry2U is perfect for
  • Anyone who loves Indian cuisine
  • Anyone on a budget
  • Spicy food lovers

Jomar and I will have our Philippine Catholic wedding in July. To enlighten those who want to have their Sacrament of Holy Matrimony in the beautiful and historic Manila Cathedral, I will share with you how much it cost. Why did we pick Manila Cathedral? I want to say that because it's historic and beautiful. But honestly, it's because Manila Cathedral has relevant information on their website for a couple like us living and already legally married abroad. Ms. Donna also responds to our emails and calls promptly. The bonus is it's historic and beautiful. According to one of my Ninang, " ang haba ng walk down the aisle mo ." I didn't think of that. I'm not sure if I like it. LOL. They also have a dashboard where you complete the forms, and it lists what you need to submit and when. It's pretty impressive. Wedding Preparation Step 1. Reserve a wedding date The first thing you do is go to their ...

San Juan is a small city in Metro Manila, and I have no idea where it is until the time I started riding vans who shortcut around San Juan to get to Makati every morning. Yesterday, I went to the De La Salle to get my transcript then off to the Google Student Leaders Summit  organized by the Google Student Ambassadors (GSA) happening in Orange and Bronze Software Labs Inc.  Mama  +Chelle  gave a talk about the community both the Google Developer Group (GDG) and Google Business Group (GBG) and how the student leaders could volunteer. When +Jomar  and I arrived at the venue, Mamu Chelle called me in front to share how I started in the industry, got involved in the GDGs, and the perks I get from volunteering from GDG. At around 12:30 to almost 1:00 PM, Mamu, Jomar, and I rushed to the GBG San Juan meet-up in The Orange Place Hotel. It was fun! I opened the after snacks session with the topic that I thought of on the way to the meet-up: Google Local and P...
