Vikram Vij Net Worth

A strict no reservations policy that was inspired by Mahatma Ghandi’s philosophy that we are all equal has led to a nightly never-ending lineup outside Vij’s doors. Celebrities who’ve lined up for a seat in his uber popular eatery include Martha Stewart, Pierre Trudeau and Harrison Ford. New York Times food writer Mark Bittman said Vij’s was “easily among the finest Indian restaurants in the world.” In 2004, Vikram and his wife, Meeru, opened a second restaurant called Rangoli, serving a more casual dining experience. His third concept, My Shanti by Vikram Vij opened in March 2014 in White Rock, BC and also released a line of his dishes that are available in a gourmet food truck that services the Greater Vancouver Area. In addition to his success in the restaurant arena, Vikram also launched his own line of gourmet prepackaged curries, which are based on his restaurants’ most popular dishes. In order to keep up with the growing demand for the packaged meals in Canada and the US, Vikram constructed a 28 thousand square foot food processing plant in Surrey, BC and his ready-to-eat meals are now available across Canada in national grocery chains. He and his wife have also published two best-selling cookbooks titled Vij’s: Elegant & Inspired Indian Cuisine and Vij’s at Home: Relax, Honey.
