   First time as Manzil since change of name. Very lounge feel with the plush blue and green chairs for inside dining. They also have a beautiful patio overlooking their vineyard. The view of the vineyard is incredible. The food was authentic. Best butter chicken ever! So creamy with so much flavour. Was nicely surprised by the kale chaat salad. Our server Bene was so patient to explain/compare the dishes and taught us the complexity of making Indian food with bursts of flavour. Would highly recommend this place. Our favourite in the South Okanagan!

   Amazingly tasty food and very friendly service. We'll definitely be back the next time we're down in the Oliver/Osoyoos area.

   We have dined here many times over the years and it improves every year. Tonight we were served by Bev who was a delight! She suggested the cauliflower & jackfruit appy which was a crispy light snack. Our favourite Butter Chicken was exceptional as the chicken was very tender and the sauce spicy enough for most and an order of a light, thin garlic naan bread. Delicious! Cheers to the chef!!!

   The preparation of baked paneer and mixed vegetable was substandard.The baked paneer was not cooked properly just served like a raw paneer. The menu was not matching with the menu showcase in the website.

   We appreciate the opportunity to offer some clarity. Manzil reopened on April 17, and during our soft launch phase, we were still refining our menu. We intentionally did not publish the menu online. However, we did ensure the most up-to-date version was posted outside the restaurant so that guests could review it before dining. Regarding your note on the baked paneer: we bake the paneer but are careful not to overcook it, as our goal is to retain its natural softness and delicate texture. While it may appear soft, it is always fully cooked before plating. We care deeply about the quality and authenticity of our food and always aim to create an experience that reflects this. We hope to welcome you back for a visit that better captures the spirit of our restaurant.

   Was one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. Food and server were 5 star in my books.
