They’re bringing ‘tiffins and meals’ to Broadway and Cambie.<\/p>\n
A new restaurant is taking over an empty space on West Broadway.<\/p>\n
Mandhras Cafe<\/a> has signs up at 382 West Broadway, just steps from City Hall Station (which will soon include service from the Broadway SkyTrain extension).<\/p>\n The new restaurant advertises “coffee, dosa, soup, soul” on the signs, while online<\/a> it promises to bring “South Indian soul to Vancouver.” The focus of the new cafe appears to be a quick-service restaurant with coffee and South Indian dishes, but a menu hasn’t been released yet.<\/p>\n “At Mandhras, we aren’t just serving coffee and food; we\u2019re redesigning the South Indian culinary experience from the ground up. We\u2019ve taken age-old family recipes and integrated them into a modern, high-efficiency cafe model that never sacrifices authenticity for speed,” reads the restaurant’s LinkedIn bio<\/a>.<\/p>\n While the brand is new, the goal is to open multiple locations.<\/p>\n “We provide consistent, affordable tiffins and meals using traditional recipes and modern efficiency. Perfect for campuses and offices seeking a unique cultural connection,” reads the LinkedIn page.<\/p>\n Tiffins refers to quick and easy breakfast and lunch options.<\/p>\n The new restaurant is replacing The Greek on Broadway<\/a>, which opened in December 2023, after\u00a0Heritage Asian Eatery closed earlier that year. The space has been empty since September 2025.<\/p>\n
