$7
There is no shortage of happy hours in Vancouver, but we have never been much for doing things halfway. A great afternoon should not feel like an afterthought — it should feel like a celebration. At Sula Indian Restaurant, our cocktail program was crafted by world-class talent, and our street food bites come from the same award-winning kitchen that handles our full dinner service. Whether you find us at happy hour on Commercial Drive, stopping in on Main Street, or winding down in the West End at Davie Street — it is an invitation to slow down, explore new flavours, and enjoy the company you are with, every single day of the week.
Sips Inspired by the Subcontinent
Our cocktail program is a love letter to Indian botanicals. We have used ingredients like fragrant makrut lime, creamy coconut, and the natural purple of pea flower tea to create drinks that actually sing alongside our spices. Whether you prefer a 1oz or 2oz pour, these are built for sharing and discovery. For the full lineup, check the Menu Discovery page.
Spicy Laguna Lime
$8 / $10.50
Our legendary take on the margarita. Built with tequila, jalapeno, and agave — refreshing, a little spicy, and genuinely hard to put down. The most-ordered drink across all three Sula locations during happy hour.
Classic Giggle Juice
$9 / $11
Pure joy in a glass. Moscato, vodka, strawberry, and lime come together for something light and fun. The one your friends who do not really drink cocktails end up falling in love with.
Nimbu Garden
$7 / $10
Mediterranean lemon gin meets fresh mint and soda. Clean, botanical, and the perfect palate cleanser. If you are ordering the Veg Pakora, this is the match made in heaven.
Very Cherry Sangria
$9 / $12 (Pitcher $26)
Rich Merlot and cherry brandy layered with triple berry soda. This one has real depth. If you are here with the whole crew, a pitcher at $26 is the best way to share the love.
Sunset Slush
$9 / $12 (Pitcher $26)
Rose, orange, and honey — a Vancouver summer in a glass. Light, summery, and absolutely beautiful when it lands on your table. The name fits.
Birds of Paradise
$9.50 / $12.50 (Pitcher $26)
A visual masterpiece. White wine and lavender meet pea flower tea for a natural vibrant purple — no food dye, just the botanical. A total conversation starter with flavour that backs up the looks.
Monsoon Season
$6
Makrut lime, honey, and coconut soda. We put just as much thought into our zero-proof drinks as our cocktails — it is a botanical journey without the buzz, and genuinely one of the best spirit-free drinks you will find at a Vancouver happy hour.
Mango Passionfruit Bellini
$7
Crafted with Alfonso mango — the sweetest Indian variety — and bright passionfruit. A tropical, aromatic escape in every sip. Try it once and you will not go back to a standard mango drink.
Sula House Lager
$5
Our very own house lager at 5%, served as a 16oz draft pint. Crisp, approachable, and the perfect companion for a long afternoon catch-up on The Drive, Main Street, or the West End.
House Red or White Wine
$8
A solid, unpretentious 6oz pour. If you are snacking on our Tandoori Wings or Chicken 65, the house red is a surprisingly perfect partner.
Street Food That Steals the Show
In India, street food is the heartbeat of the city, and we have brought that same energy to our happy hour. These are not just bar snacks — they are proper bites from our kitchen, prepared with the same house-ground masalas as our dinner menu, the same ones that are behind everything on our Menu Discovery page. Order a few, put them in the middle of the table, and dive in together. That is the spirit of it.
Vegetable Pakora
$10
Tandoori Momos
$12.50
Onion Bhajia
$10
Mumbai Vada
$10
Railway Vada Pav Sliders
$13
Chicken 65

Tandoori Wings
$12
Dahi Puri

Sev Puri

A tip from our family: If you are sharing with a friend, grab a cocktail each and split the Tandoori Momos and Onion Bhajia. It is a Gold Award-winning feast for about $25 each. There truly is not a warmer way to spend a Tuesday afternoon in Vancouver.
Happy Hour Bowls
If you are staying for a while and need something more substantial, our happy hour bowls are the answer. These are the same generous portions as our dinner service — basmati rice, salad, onion bhajia, and raita all included. Perfect for those skipping the snack phase and heading straight for comfort.
Channa Saag Bowl
$19.50
Slow-cooked chickpeas in rich spinach gravy. The ultimate hearty vegan option that does not compromise on flavour.
Butter Chicken Bowl
$21
Our most-loved dish, served as a complete meal. Same creamy award-winning recipe, nothing simplified for the happy hour window.
Chicken Tikka Bowl
$24
Tandoor-fired chicken with all the trimmings. The premium choice for when you are staying on into the evening.
How to Happy Hour Like a Local
Whether you are with a date or the whole office crew, here is a roadmap for the perfect afternoon.
Catching Up with the Team
Grab a pitcher of Very Cherry sangria and a mountain of Onion Bhajia. It is the fastest way to turn colleagues into friends. You will be out the door happy for well under $25 per person.
Date Night Pre-Game
Order the Birds of Paradise — the natural purple hue is a total conversation starter. Share a few Railway Vada Pav Sliders as the perfect icebreaker before dinner on The Drive or in the West End.
The Zero-Proof Choice
Start with a Monsoon Season — crafted with the same botanical care as our cocktails, not thrown together as an accommodation. Pair it with the Mumbai Vada for a full happy hour experience without a drop of alcohol. Nobody at the table will think twice.
Staying for Dinner
One cocktail and the Chicken 65 during the happy hour window, then carry on to a main course and naan. Happy hour pricing on drinks and starters, then a full Sula dinner to follow. A thoroughly good evening.
Three Locations — Same Menu, Different Energy
The happy hour menu is the same across all three Sula locations, but each neighbourhood brings its own energy. The heritage feel of Commercial Drive, the community warmth of Main Street in Riley Park, the buzz of downtown Vancouver on Davie Street — same cocktails, same food, different vibe every time.
Commercial Drive
1128 Commercial Drive, East Vancouver
Mon-Fri: 2:30-5:30pm Sat-Sun: 2:30-5:00pm The original Sula — open since 2010
