So many options and all of them good! I had the spicy veggie and avocado frittata, while my partner had the one with sausages in it! Packed with lots of flavour, and spicy enough where it’s not overpowering, but there is still a kick. We also had the chai latte and the Thai milk tea, the latter being my choice. The prices are very reasonable as well, and I left with extra

Your review is already great! I’ve just made a few small tweaks for smoother flow and readability: Had an amazing experience here! Only U Cafe is clean and well-maintained, with bright colors and an inviting interior that makes the space feel warm and welcoming. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always there when you need them. We couldn’t decide between brunch or Indian food, and this was the perfect place for both! The food was beyond our expectations - they offer a large selection of beverages and dishes, with generous portions at a great value. What really surprised me was how well they execute both Western and Indian cuisines. Whether you’re craving classic eggs bennys or a flavorful Indian specialty, they do both exceptionally well. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality food around UBC Village!

The place is very nice that is for sure, and the food was pretty good. The employees were kind and friendly. Though, it is quite expensive. Paid 15 dollars for this:

I can not recommend this restaurant enough. Staff are always so welcoming and friendly. My personal favorite from the menu is the spicy egg ciabatta with bacon and avocado, with hasbrowns. It has to be the best lunch spot in UBC for sure!! Also, I have tried many of their Indian dishes, and they are so tasty and authentic. Butter chicken is amazing!

Went in a few minutes AFTER closing without realizing that they were closed. They were so kind and offered to make eggs Benedict for me anyways, even though it was after closing time! The food was delicious.

Wow! This was an awesome experience. It's a great place to have some Indian food near campus. I had the kadhi pakoda plate and it was great! The Indian wedding style filter coffee that Avane specially made was phenomenal! The most awesome part of the experience was the owner Avane Chang. He is gem of a person. God bless him and his family! Their family has restaurants in India and he can speak multiple Indian languages! Would love to come back to this restaurant and meet Avane again! Cool fact: His family specifically Nelson Wang invented the Manchurian in India. Whenever you have Manchurian next, remember it came from his family and was invented in India Highest recommendation for the overall experience. This is the best place I know for Indian food on or near campus Bests Aditya
