" Maduban has become my favorite spot when I'm craving Indian food. Their samosas are crunchy and delicious, and the chana masala is just the right level of spiciness. The staff is also incredibly friendly. I must say, though, during my last visit, the service was a bit slow, perhaps due to the weekend rush. Still, the quality of food makes up for it. I highly recommend trying their sweets too; they’re divine! I'll keep coming back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Maduban has become my go-to for Indian food after a few great visits. Their vegetarian dishes are particularly impressive—a real celebration of flavors. The staff are incredibly warm and welcoming, making the place feel even more like a home away from home. I've also had the chance to try their sweets and was pleasantly surprised by how authentic they tasted. It can get busy, so I recommend visiting during off-peak hours if you can. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Maduban Indian Cuisine and was absolutely impressed by the authenticity of their dishes. The butter chicken was rich and flavorful, exactly what I was hoping for. The garlic naan was fresh and paired perfectly with the curry. The service was attentive without being intrusive, making for a pleasant dining experience. The restaurant has a nice ambiance that adds to the overall enjoyment of the meal. I will definitely be returning! Highly recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Maduban. The food was delicious, especially the sweets, but I found the main courses rather on the sweet side. Yes, Indian dishes can be complex, but I expected a balanced flavor for my curry dish. On the service front, I felt the staff needed to be more attentive, as they seemed to be overwhelmed during the dinner rush. Nonetheless, I did enjoy the environment that was lively and full of energy. I may give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Maduban was something special! We were celebrating our anniversary and decided to try this place based on a friend's recommendation. The service was just ok to start, but it improved once we got seated. The food was absolutely wonderful! The paneer tikka was scrumptious, the naan was soft and buttery, and the dessert was a highlight. It's a warm and cozy place which adds to the overall experience. We’ll definitely return for another celebration. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Maduban was conflicting. While the flavors of the food were authentic—like the lamb bhuna gosht that I craved—the service left much to be desired. It took too long for my order to be taken, and I had to ask for the check multiple times. However, I can't deny that the food quality was fantastic, and I'd be willing to give it another shot simply for the taste. It’s a mixed bag, but I’d like to believe my next visit will be better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Maduban Indian Cuisine is the place to go if you’re in Nanimo and looking for an Indian meal that’s truly authentic. The combination of spices they use is incredible. The biryani was superb—rich and very fragrant with spices. The sweet treats they offer at the end really put the experience over the top. The atmosphere is lively, creating an inviting vibe for dining in. I highly recommend this restaurant, and will surely be back for more delicious food. " (*Curated Review*)
