The making of Chutney Villa has been a labor of love. From the constantly reinvented menu, to the carefully chosen decor, to the hit Tamil music that you hear in the background, the Villa has been pieced together from memories, fantasies, and many visits to India.

The Executive Chef Ms. Muralee and the sous chef's Mr. Ganesh Shanmugam & Mr. Venkat Srirampillai bring their talent and creativity to the kitchen. Their passion for creating food was first appreciated by their many friends and close family over hearty Indian dinners, infused with love. With years of experience in the restaurant industry and a passion for cooking, Muralee's natural next step was to open up a restaurant that would introduce Vancouver to the unique flavors of South Indian cuisine.

Muralee’s enthusiasm for the cuisine and culture of her native land is infectious. Our team at the Villa shares her zeal for Indian food, fashion, and most importantly, the famous Indian hospitality. Our motto at Chutney Villa is “food can fill a stomach, but it takes love to quench an appetite.” The food, service, and ambience at the Villa is filled with warmth and energy, and we hope to make your eating-out experience feel completely at home.
