I had a fantastic experience at Adda Indian eatery! The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The variety of dishes on offer was impressive, catering to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. I especially loved the [specific dish you enjoyed], which was perfectly spiced and cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly, attentive, and the service was quick. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, making it a great spot for both dine-in and takeaway. Overall, it's a great place for a quick, delicious Indian meal. Highly recommend!

I adore adda. The curries were perfect and delicately spiced. I’m not that familiar with Indian street food but the chaat was perfectly sweet sour and salty. The hakka noodles were perfect.

We tried Masala Dosa, Chhole bhature and the best Masala tea ($1deal of the day). We enjoyed our food. Service was quick.

Adda Indian Eatery in Halifax is one of the best Indian restaurants we’ve ever visited. The food was absolutely fantastic, starting with their Masala Dosa, which was the best we’ve had. We also tried the Fried Rice and Chicken Manchurian, both of which were outstanding. The Kothu Roti was another highlight—delicious and full of flavor. To top it off, their Masala Chai is a must-try. Overall, this restaurant delivers an exceptional dining experience, and we highly recommend it!

Came in for an early lunch at around 11:45. They had a board of specials but apparently they start at 1; I’ll have to come back to try the paneer fry biryani. Got the grilled paneer sandwich and a masala chai. The sandwich was great! Spicy, creamy and flavourful, served with potato chips. I wound up putting the chips on the sandwich for extra crunch. The chai is nice - mild, but warm and comforting. Comes unsweetened but they do have sugar for those who’d prefer. Simple, good food for a little place tucked into the basement food court of a mall people might not even know exists.

This place is situated inside a huge Mall/Food Court just off Spring garden Road. You may need to ask help to find it after following the initial main St sandwich board instructions. The food is excellent with many items i have never seen in our legion of Asian restaurants in Scotland.The girls serving are really friendly and helpful. After mistakenly ordering a wrong dish, they changed it for me with no fuss.everything was of highest quality and not too spicy. I especially enjoyed the chilled Mango Lasse.A great place.Do seek it out. Not too expensive either.

Wow -- delicious Indian food!! I ordered the Chaat Chana Samosa and it was among the best Indian food Ive ever had -- such a tasty combination of flavours with a perfect spice level for me (I love hot, spicy food). The mango lassi was also very nice: very strong in cardamom, but I love cardamom! Would totally recommend. :) Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options!

I tried Chole Bhature (Aug18) and Veg Hakka Noodles (Aug19). Food was always fresh and service was quick. Chole Bhature: The flavour is nowhere close to classic Delhi Style Chole Bhature. The Chole were essentially cooled how any other Indian gravy vegetable is made. Infact, it was a bit sweet and Chole were undercooked. Bhature were good and slightly fluffy. Quantity was also good for the price. Store bought pickle/achar can be avoided and replaced with fresh onions and chutney. Veg Hakka Noodles: This was just not good. Very bland, almost no flavours or spices. Nowhere close to Hakka Chinese flavour. Very less quantity for the price. Not recommend.
