What people say, in short
Most people recommend Sula, and many name it as their pick for Indian food in Vancouver, with several saying they love it or that it is their favourite. Several say the food is good or great, and two say takeout or delivery arrives spicier than dine-in. Sula has several Vancouver outlets and the outlet listed here is the Main Street one; commenters also name Commercial Drive and a downtown outlet near Stanley Park.

Less favourable voices include one who found it bland, one who says it has let them down in recent years, and one who thinks it gets too much praise for Indian food on Commercial Drive.
