WHERE IT ALL STARTED...At Our Vibrant Restaurant, we take immense pride in curating a dining experience that is unlike any other. With two convenient locations in Surrey Delta and downtown Vancouver, we effortlessly bring together the enchanting flavors of India and China. Indian Chinese cuisine, Chinese Indian cuisine, Sino-Indian cuisine, Chindian cuisine, Hakka Chinese or Desi-Chinese cuisine is a distinct style of Chinese cuisine adapted to Indian tastes, combining Chinese foods with Indian flavors and spices. Though Asian cuisines have mixed throughout history throughout Asia, the most popular origin story of the fusion food resides with Chinese laborers of Calcutta (now called Kolkata), who immigrated to British Raj India looking for work. Opening restaurant businesses in the area, these early Chinese food sellers adapted their culinary styles to suit Indian tastes.
