Company Profile:
Our Restaurant was established in 2019. We have a passion for the East Indian way of life and want to share it with people, no matter where they are. Our restaurant offers the best Indian cuisine. You will be offered such food as perfectly cooked samosas, butter chicken and naan, Biryani, and a wide variety of Indian vegetation and non-vegetarian dishes. Also offers a variety of Indian deserts. Don't hesitate to try them. At The Curry Culture, you can get a takeaway. The fantastic staff welcomes people all year round. The good service displays a high level of quality. Our prices are too good to compare with market rates. Several visitors find that the atmosphere is lovely here. We do have a second location in downtown Nanaimo in the name of Masala Culture.
To make the service more effective, we are looking for an experienced Food Service Supervisor in this location. You will be joining an enthusiastic and energetic team of Servers, Cooks, and other staff at our location.
