The Fraser Valley is known for its breathtaking landscapes, vibrant communities, and diverse food culture. But for those craving the authentic taste of India, there’s one name that locals turn to: Cardamom The Indian Kitchen in Aldergrove.
At Cardamom, we don’t just serve food—we bring the heritage, spices, and warmth of Indian hospitality to the Valley. Here’s how we make sure every bite is as authentic as it is delicious.
1. Using Spices the Traditional Way
Indian cooking is built on spices like cardamom, cumin, turmeric, and coriander. At Cardamom, our chefs grind and blend spices in-house, ensuring the aromas and flavors stay fresh. From the smoky flavor of tandoor-grilled kebabs to the creamy richness of Shahi Paneer, every dish reflects centuries-old culinary traditions.
2. Recipes Passed Through Generations
Authenticity comes from staying true to roots. Our chefs recreate dishes inspired by family kitchens, Mughlai courts, and Indian street stalls. Whether it’s a comforting Homestyle Chicken Curry or the royal Lahsuni Palak Lamb, the recipes honor the real flavors of India.
3. Vegetarian & Vegan Richness
The Fraser Valley has a growing vegetarian and vegan community, and Indian cuisine naturally fits in. With dishes like Baingan Bharta, Tandoori Vegetables, Dal Makhani, and Vegan Chole, we bring plant-based options that never compromise on taste.
4. The Tandoor Experience
One of the things that makes Cardamom unique in the Valley is our authentic clay tandoor oven. From Tandoori Murgh to Paneer Tikka and Garlic Naan, the tandoor infuses food with a smoky, charred flavor that can’t be replicated any other way. It’s the heart of our kitchen—and the soul of many Indian meals.
5. A Menu for Every Occasion
We know Fraser Valley families love to celebrate. That’s why our menu is designed for all occasions:
Family dinners with comforting curries and fresh naan
Date nights with dishes like Dill Wala Murgh Tikka and Salmon Tikka
Street food cravings with Gol Gappe, Chaat, and Pav Bhaji
