Silk Lounge<\/a> is a new restaurant in Gastown that offers a unique blend of Indian and French cuisines.\u00a0 In the kitchen, they proudly use only locally sourced organic produce and protein, with no added sugar, preservatives, and modified ingredients.<\/p>\n

They are also known for their incredible aesthetic interiors, spotting ancient Indian Hardwoods, hand linked chandeliers, and an array of Buddha statues. Visiting guests find themselves dining here with a calm atmosphere, blended with aromas of fresh herbs, and Indian spices, which they have also incorporated into their beautiful dishes and crafted cocktails.<\/p>\n
