Ember Kitchen

I have family in the area so whenever we visit we often either order takeout from here or go in to eat. They’re very knowledgeable (I think I’ve been told that the owner’s wife has celiac disease) and a large portion of the menu is GF. Unfortunately they don’t have a dedicated GF fryer so the samosas, pakora, etc. are not GF. But if you’re placing a large dinner order for takeout, if you call around 4:00pm and they’re not yet busy, sometimes they will make a special batch of pakora for you in fresh oil on the stovetop. They can’t always do it but sometimes they can. Everything is delicious and even though it feels a bit pricey for the portion sizes, Richmond and Steveston are a wasteland for GF food so I’m happy to have this place as an option. And if you’re dining in, it’s a bright room with a lovely view of the Fraser River.
