Aarkul is a diverse Indian cuisine restaurant in Nanaimo founded by MasterChef Kulbeer Bhandari, who brings 20 years of culinary experience to dishes ranging from clay-oven tandoori and aromatic biryanis to street-food favourites like samosas and chaat. The restaurant prides itself on hand-crafted décor, a cozy atmosphere described as a 'haven of greenery,' and live music on Friday nights. A wide vegetarian menu runs alongside non-vegetarian options, making it a solid refuelling stop for cyclists of varied diets.
