Jan's Restaurant Pic ‐ The Royal DarIf you love the character of a restaurant set in an old heritage home, you will be amazed with the rich fabrics andglistening chandeliers that welcome you to the Royal Dar, Vancouver Island's premier Indian Restaurant. The lovelygardens, bursting with flowers greeted us as we meandered up the walkway to the Royal doorway. Customizing thetraditional Indian dishes to your preferred heat level is a lovely touch. The Butter Chicken was in a rich buttery creamsauce and the Seafood Goa, with prawns and snapper was cooked in southern, Indian style with ground coconut and coconut milk. We gobbled down thebasket of homemade naan bread, baked on‐site in a clay oven. It was so tasty,we used it to mop up the sauce on our lunch plates.
