This is my number 1 foody place since I came in Canada. Apart from their mouthwatering food, they provide you very good service. Especially Samad bhai, Zillur bhai, Mahi and famous Apa they'll threat you as a family member.

Food tastes really good and authentic. We often go and order their goat kacchi biryani that comes with decent amount of meat. Also beef bihari kabab which tastes like deshi street (shikh) kabab in Dhaka. Note that this restaurant is a casual dining set with very reasonable prices and excellent service.

I recently visited Red Hot Tandoori, and I was very impressed with the quality of their products and the changes under the new management. The meats are always fresh, and the grocery section is well-stocked with essential items, including hard-to-find specialty products. The friendly and knowledgeable staff make the shopping experience pleasant, and the store's cleanliness and organization, particularly in the meat section, are commendable. Prices are reasonable, offering excellent value for money, with occasional discounts and promotions. Conveniently located with ample parking, it’s an easy stop for both quick and extensive shopping trips. Highly recommended for quality halal meat and groceries!

I ordered one beef biriyani, it comes with an egg! But the thing is the egg was rock hard and frozen, and according to the rice portion beef was only 15%. And most of them had fat in it. Overall it wasn’t that bad. Maybe i will go and try something else .

★★★★★

The food is absolutely amazing. You'll get to taste authentic Bengali delicacies at a pretty reasonable price. I would highly recommend the Chicken Biryani, the taste is delicious and the portion is more than one could eat, you also get a boiled egg with the Biryani. The staff in the restaurant are extremely helpful and warm, you would feel like home.. in evening hours if you want to pickup food you can call and order beforehand so you don't need to wait longer.

Pretty decent place. We had the singara which was really flavourful and authentic; wasn’t a big fan of their pakoras though (i think a dipping sauce would really make it better). Overall great customer service, and great place for quick snack; will definitely go back for other items coz the menu looks really good.

I really liked their Kacchi Biryani. It tastes like Dhakaiya Biryani. I would recommend highly about Red Hot foods and customer services.

We went to try the kachchi biriani (goat biriani) which is currently available only on Friday and Saturday and you have to call beforehand to ensure they are making a fresh batch. This is perhaps as authentic as you can get, so far away from Dhaka; flavor, tenderness of meat, generous quantity and all the good things you can imagine in a plate. Highly recommend. Kid-friendliness: The owners were very friendly to our kids.

This restaurant is not suitable for the customers rather this is for the suckers. This restaurant environment is not good enough. And the service is out of demand

February 22, 2024

Poor taste of food, bare minimum service. And the naan I ordered was just a pre-made naan you get in grocery stores. And don t even talk about Butter Chicken!!! Complete waste of money.

★★★
January 22, 2024

The interior gives off a very bangladesh restora vibe with water filled plastic jugs on every table. It is self serve. It took more than 20 minutes for our order to arrive. Naans are of decent size and taste. The paya and beef haleem tasted good but nothing noteworthy. Duck curry and khashi rezala were okay, not to die for. The main selling point I would say is their cheap pricing. Overall a 3 star for me.

Went here for lunch. The food was great. Rice, beef curry and daal (lentil soup) and a plate of beef tehari. Spices and chilly just right. I quite enjoyed the daal. Service took a while to prepare but it wasnt so bad. What I didnt like is they serve everything on cheap disposable plastic plates. If Im sitting down to eat in a restaurant I would expect to be served on proper plates and cutlery. It certainly takes away from the dining experience.

Today when I checked my transaction history I saw that they charged me they charged me double all over they char Me $21.45. I called them and now they re asking receipt which they haven t given to me.

December 22, 2022

I was a fan of their Khichuri and spread the words to my close circle to try them on to have a deshi test. But for 2nd consecutive time, the taste and amount of beef in khichuri is so low that it kinda makes me liar to my close ones here. No gonna try it in near future. Complete wastage of money and appetite.

We waited over 2 hours patiently for biryani and it was still uncooked. For the money the quality went down!! Also, the owner was talking to this L guy and the guy seemed like giving a speech like Bengali politicians. It was not annoying. We told owner and the lady who was working there 3x if food was ready and after close to 1.5 reminder them we were waiting, they went to check and still forgot our orders. Then they gave us the wrong order and chicken biryani was chicken curry mixed with rice so awful and we were starving so ate and never going back! We are a regular customer, go there at least 2X a month. We will going to Adda at least the owner is available and service is amazing!! May be u guys can learn something about running the business from them! Parking: None, park across from them in the metro parking area

I was really skeptical about this place when I first went it. There was this guy just standing behind the counter but he didnt even say hi or anything and I was turn off. But it seems that may be that man didnt work there or something and after like 5 min, another guy came out and he was super friendly. We paid for our food and me and my bf was thinking okay let see how the food turns out! Boy! The food was so good we cannot even complain at all. Tandoori was perfectly season and garlic naan is superb. Hands down amazing creamy butter chicken. It doesnt taste like store bought sauce which most indian restaurant sells. I definitely recommend this place!

Another day, another good food. Its about Haleem, only 5$. So good, real BD taste. 3rd visit at Red hot tandoori, yummy Beef tehari with mustard oil which is BD special.
