This is the restaurant that made me move to Vancouver. To give a bit of color around this bold statement let me also say that I had been traveling for over a year, my pocket book was thin, and I was largely eating non-meat meals. This is a place that makes travelers feel at home. The Naam delivered a healthy and generous sized meal in the vegetarian salisbury steak with a miso gravy sauce on top of my mashed potatoes and vegetables. I ate the whole thing, ordered a giant slice of carrot cake, and kicked back and listened to the sounds of a guy jamming on the sitar. That was 8 years ago! You know what, I don't think much has changed. The Naam is still crowded, the wait staff is still slammed, the food is still good, and the music is still interesting.
