The Vancouver area seems pretty good for Indian food too.
The big difference I find with Asian food here is that there's a full spectrum of options with different menus catering to different tastes and different pricing levels. You can find more or less adventurous offerings and lots of affordable places because there's a large local Asian population that supports all of these restaurants. Toronto is like this too. In Halifax, by contrast, Asian food is seen as somewhat special and high-end, although sushi has moved downmarket a bit (and this is in a town with plentiful local seafood that is conducive to this sort of cuisine).
