Punjabi isn't a religious affiliation, it just means you're from the Punjab, a province of India. You could be Punjabi and Muslim, Hindu, Christian or whatever. Punjab does happen to be a Sikh majority state, and I think Vij comes from a Sikh family.
As far as what meat a restaurant serves, a proprietor's religion doesn't always trump commerce. Just because one doesn't eat, doesn't mean one cannot sell and serve to paying customers. Then there's always folks that are lapsed. They eat, drink and smoke whatever the fuck they want...

She described this as her "third daughter" in the family after Vij and Rangooli, and emphasized she wants it to have a menu that is distinct enough from the other two places that you'd still want to visit them when you're up there (she said fully 10% of their customers in Vancouver were from the Puget Sound area). Some of the menu favorites -- she mentioned the lamb popsicles specifically -- would carry over, but she wants this place to be distinct from the others.

She's also really passionate about local and sustainable sourcing, and cited that as one of the hurdles when I asked about seafood on the menu.

And then we had some food. It was all vegetarian, as they weren't cooking any meat dishes at the time, and they didn't have plates yet so we ate out of the to-go boxes with plastic cups of water. But the samosas were just about up to her high standards (they certainly exceeded mine) and one mushroom dish was a real standout (and I say that as someone who isn't particularly fond of mushrooms).

I've eaten at Vij's several times, and once at Rangooli, and this looks like it will be just as good in its own way (especially in a few weeks after they have all the kinks worked out) and worth seeking out as often as your budget allows.

@11, looks delicious. The best Indian place I went to in NYC was dirt cheap and run by a Bangladeshi.
