Momos are often considered tasty due to a combination of factors. The flavorful filling, usually a mix of meat or vegetables with spices, is enclosed in a thin dough wrapper. When steamed or fried, the cooking process enhances the flavors, making them savory and satisfying.

I recently visited the Can-indian kitchen restaurant and ordered steamed momos. The dumplings were perfectly steamed with a delightful mix of flavours in the filling. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I will definitely visit again!!!

Super helpful, delicious spicy biryani, a little bony but a lot to it, very good portion for $10.

I was disappointed with my delivery experience and wouldn't highly recommend it. It might be my mistake to think this similar to Indian Afghan restaurant in Saudi Arabia. Specifically, the Afghan chicken dish was underwhelming, with 5 pieces, of which 2 were wings and 2 were bones, leaving me wonder if this is the norm of this dish. The photos at the website don't match the photos I attached. The chicken curry came spicy instead of mild. The chicken was not fully cooked. It doesn't taste like curry. The chicken moms were too garlicky. This is an Indian dish, I mistakenly thought it the famous Afghan Manto. It wasn't. I didn't like the taste and texture of the grounded chicken. I paid $ 60 for these 3 dishes. I wonder if Uber Eat is making huge mark-up. When I checked the website the prices are 50% less!:( I wish the management all the best.

I came upon this $10 Indian kitchen by accident. The food was prepared fresh so takes some time to prepare, but definitely worth the wait. So delicious! And good price. The sign on the shop says Downtown Pizza. Don't be fooled. It does sell an interesting array of pizzas - tandoori chicken for example (will try another day). The Can-Indian Kitchen menu is not extensive but we ordered 3 items and all were excellent.

Best steamed momos I ever had in Nova Scotia. Customer service was very good. The girl at cash was very kind . They have a lot of cuisine with only $10. Highly recommended!

So, first of all, let me start with the Momos, it’s been so long since I had the authentic taste of Momos the last time I had something like that was in the Delhi chanakyapuri and the moment you took the first bite with the right sauces mix of mayo, and schezwan Momo sauce you’ll know this is totally worth it. I give 10/10 for this and strongly recommend to try the Momos. They are totally authentic. Just like what we used to have in Delhi. Now the next one the chicken biryani, it was very well made with the well balanced spices not too hot not to bland perfectly good comes with the side salan or you can say side sauce had enough chicken in it and had really good spice mix for Biryani. I’ll recommend that to 10 out of 10. Last but not the least was the tiramisu. They have just introduced that and they give it to as a complimentary. You can see that in the picture it’s made from scratch like how you used to get in a really great Italian restaurant I’ll strongly recommend the owner to put that on the menu And that is for sure please give it a try if you have a sweet tooth like me. 10/10 loved ittt. The place is right in Dartmouth where you see the downtown Pizza that’s where they are located just beside the McDonald

After trying many Indian restaurants in the Halifax area, I tried the Can Indian Kitchen’s AMAZING Chicken Biryani and DELICIOUS Chicken Curry with rice. It took me straight back to my childhood. My mother puts so much love and care into our meals and somehow I felt that here.. it made my visit so special and I don’t think I have seen anyone give this much chicken in every dish at an Indian restaurant! Great hospitality, squeaky clean ambience, and delicious meals at a very reasonable price. Hard to beat anything like this in the area. I already told the owners that they should sign me up as a regular customer. Thank you guys, my parents and I loved it!
