  • An Indian Affair : Expanding Culinary Excellence

An Indian Affair, nestled in the heart of Langley, has embarked on an exciting journey of expansion, driven by a passion for delivering exceptional dining experiences and a commitment to culinary innovation. Under the visionary leadership of owner Gary Bakshi and his son Karan Bakshi, the restaurant has undergone its third expansion, truly spicing things up. 

Introducing the mastermind behind An Indian Affair restaurant! Gary Bakshi honed his skills at the Maurya Sheraton Indian 5-star hotel, and has since showcased his culinary expertise in top-notch restaurants across the United States and Canada. Through his extensive journey, Gary has revolutionized Indian cuisine with his 30+ years of experience, aiming to present authentic flavors with a contemporary, health-conscious approach, as reflected on the menus of An Indian Affair.

The decision to expand An Indian Affair was inspired by a desire to accommodate the growing number of patrons seeking an elevated dining experience. Gary Bakshi shares, "As our business and clientele is growing, to deliver ambience and more comfortable, modern seating, we have expanded the restaurant. We have a beautiful bar, private dining, and more!" With a keen focus on creating a seamless transition for diners, the team at An Indian Affair meticulously planned every aspect of the expansion. Despite the renovations, efforts were made to minimize disruption to customers, ensuring that the restaurant continued to offer its renowned cuisine without compromise.

Central to the expansion is the introduction of a new menu, crafted with innovation and culinary flair. Gary Bakshi elaborates, "We are always creating. Now, customers will see that we have a different way of doing cocktails, accompanied by some innovative dishes. For the expansion, we have tried to deliver the very best to our customers. We are not just saying this for the sake of saying it, innovative, modern Indian cuisine is genuinely at the heart of An Indian Affair." This commitment to culinary excellence reflects a vision of offering authentic Indian cuisine with a modern, healthy twist.

Ultimately, what sets An Indian Affair apart from other Indian restaurants is its unwavering dedication to providing an unparalleled dining experience. Gary Bakshi emphasizes, "Indian Affair is not just a regular Indian restaurant. You come in and you feel the difference. The vibe is more inviting and modern. From a service perspective, my team customizes offerings to suit customer needs. There is something for everyone." From the warm and inviting ambiance to the attentive service and innovative cuisine, every aspect of the restaurant is designed to delight and captivate diners.

That said, at An Indian Affair, the team’s dedication to culinary innovation extends beyond their menu. Gary Bakshi continuously strives to create a top-tier atmosphere for guests, where they can indulge in flavorful dishes while forging memorable connections. Holistically a best-in-class experience, customer satisfaction is top priority, inspiring an elevated dining experience with each visit.

Moreover, An Indian Affair has also enhanced engagement with the community by participating in numerous food festivals and events, and the team intends to maintain this involvement in the future. As customers take a seat, unwind, and savor their tantalizing Indian dishes, meticulously prepared with customers’ health and well-being in mind, the chef’s unique culinary approach can be truly tasted, as dishes blend traditional cooking techniques with a distinct style to deliver a delightful dining experience. An Indian Affair committed to excellence in ensuring that their cuisine appeals to all, whether one is a connoisseur of Indian fare or simply seeking a fresh culinary adventure.

Looking ahead, An Indian Affair is poised to continue its legacy of excellence, guided by a commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. With a string of accolades to its name over the past decade, including being voted Langley's #1 Indian Restaurant, showcased as the best buffet in town, recognized for the best cocktails, and awarded for the best vegan food, An Indian Affair remains at the forefront of culinary excellence.

As An Indian Affair embarks on this new chapter of expansion, patrons can look forward to a dining experience that is as unforgettable as it is delicious.
