Mirchi Tandoor has some great Indian food but it seems quite pricey compared to other Indian restaurants here. The taste and portions are amazing and the staff are welcoming too. Their chicken biryani is amazing and the lamb shank curry is unbelievable!

The place, the staff, the food, everything is amazing here. I am from Delhi and I have never yad food similar to Delhi or better in all of Halifax, but this place has similar tastes as well as makes you nostalgic. The food tastes so good, nowhere else do I get such good food, it just puts me in a great mood. Also, the staff as well as the owners are great, humble and amazing people. I always get family like treatment as well as satisfactory answers here. They always take care of my needs and treat me humbly and respectfully. I love this place!🫶

I ended up ordering from this restaurant one evening while on business in Halifax Nova Scotia. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the chicken vindaloo was. For dessert I ordered the gulab jamun and Rasmalai. The Gulab Jamun was very good. The Rasmalai was actually pretty good as well. One thing that I was pleasantly surprised about is that the chicken vindaloo came with potatoes which appears to be a rarity in Halifax. I previously ordered from another local Indian restaurant and no potatoes were provided. One of the reasons for ordering a chicken vindaloo is for the potatoes. I will definitely be ordering from this restaurant if ever in Halifax in the future.

I have tried masala dosa there. They serve it with 2 chutneys and dal . It was really good and Crispy. They do serve it during specific time of the day 12 to 2 in the noon and 5 to 8 in the evening . I also tried the pav bhaji here, but unfortunately, it didn’t meet expectations. It leaned more toward a tangy flavor and lacked the authentic taste of bhaji. There’s definitely room for improvement in this dish. But, I would definitely recommend dosa.

Mirchi Tandoor, located in the heart of Halifax’s busy center, is an Indian restaurant that delivers authentic flavors and an unforgettable dining experience. I recently had the pleasure of trying their Tandoori Chicken with Garlic Naan, and it exceeded all my expectations. The chicken was incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with rich, smoky flavors from the tandoor. Paired with the garlic naan, which was soft and flavorful, it made for a perfect meal. I highly recommend this dish to anyone visiting the restaurant. Mirchi Tandoor offers a wide variety of Indian dishes, but I would particularly recommend their chicken dishes, as they seem to truly excel in this area. Whether it’s Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Curry, or Chicken Biryani, you’re sure to enjoy a flavorful experience. Additionally, their naan and roti are excellent accompaniments, baked fresh and served hot. One thing to note is that parking can be a bit challenging due to the restaurant’s central location on a busy street, so it’s best to plan ahead. It’s also a good idea to make a reservation, as the restaurant tends to fill up quickly, especially during peak hours. Overall, Mirchi Tandoor is a fantastic spot for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Indian cuisine in Halifax. From the delicious food to the cozy ambiance, it’s definitely worth a visit, especially if you’re a fan of Indian flavors and fresh naan.

Every time we have out of town guests, we must bring them to Mirchi Tandoor. The food here is amazing. The butter garlic naan is so fresh and hot. We have learnt to come at around 5 or 5:30 to get a table. The restaurant does get very busy later at night.

May 2024 5* Visited the place with friend to find good Indian place. The restaurant is not big and has limited seating space so it can be busy during weekend. You may need to wait. You can not reserve place in advance. It is first cum first basis. Here is our food list: - Soya Chaap masala ***** - Dal Makhni ***** - Garlic naan ***** - Jeera rice ***** It is not fine dining place and not wheelchair friendly. Staff is friendly. The manager had a cradle next to counter and baby was sleeping while she was working. Very heart touching. What need to be improved? Little bit customer service and reservation process. The place can be busy so you may need to wait. However, there is no system to manage the wait list and done informally. Someone tried to jumped the queue and I complained to manager. She asked those people to vacate the place. It upsets them. Manager was upset that I asked. Later she did not talk properly even after leaving good tips so I was not happy. No one was happy in the end 😖

As this is my own opinion I will always recommend that you try it for your own experience. I was hyped for this place as Id been told by a number of people it was a must try location. Well Ive tried it and likely will not bother to go back. The chicken vindaloo was ordered and I asked for it to be extra spicy. As an already spicy dish it was rather disappointing. The naan bread was small and dripping in garlic butter so hard to eat with. I guess I just expected so much more. Glad I tried it though and it was very busy there so they must be doing something right.

The menu had good variety. The food was flavourful and fresh.The restaurant was full, and there were take out orders being picked up frequently, so the two servers were kept very busy. The only drawback was when the door to the restaurant would get held open for people to come and cold air would blow in. Brr!

I really like their food especially the masala chai. I have tried their fried rice, kadhi chawal, noodles and chai and they all taste good. The quality of the food is good and the prices are reasonable. The servers are all very hardworking. They have only two servers on the busiest nights and we never had to wait too long for the food. I always vone back for their madala chai. The lady at the front is always very nice and friendly. However the sitting area is very tight and congested. It doesn t feel like you can relax and eat. That s the only thing I don t like about this place so i started ordering take out instead of dine in

I recently visited Mirchi Tandoor on Blowers Street, Halifax, and had a pleasant experience. The restaurant offers a wide variety of authentic Indian dishes, including flavorful butter chicken and lamb rogan josh. I particularly enjoyed the fresh garlic naan and the refreshing mango lassi. The spice levels were customizable, which added a nice personal touch to the meal. The cozy ambiance, combined with friendly and attentive staff, made for an enjoyable dining experience. The vegetarian and vegan options were a great addition, catering to diverse dietary preferences. While the flavors were impressive, the lack of alcohol options and limited lunch hours could be seen as drawbacks for some diners. Overall, I would rate my visit 4 out of 5 stars. The food quality and service were excellent, but a few improvements could make it even better. I would recommend this spot to anyone craving delicious, authentic Indian cuisine in Halifax.

I recently ordered chaat papdi through DoorDash, and unfortunately, it was quite disappointing. The dish was not crunchy due to the curd and chutney, which had already been mixed in, making everything soggy. It would have been much better if the dahi and chutneys were served on the side, as is common practice with other restaurants in the city. The rest of the order was okay, but this really affected the overall experience.

It s really disgusting something to see which you don t like to see in ur food. Ordered food from mirchi tandoor via Uber eats and it s really disgusting to see a hair in curry. As soon as I noticed I have called the restaurant and informed about it and he was least bothered about it and told me to call Uber about the issue and hung up the call without any further explanation. It feels sad when we spend our hard earned money just to have some good food and these restaurants are doing things like this and moreover he didn t even apologized about the issue and hung up the call. Really sad to say that this is gonna my last order from this restaurant for ever.

This is my detailed review about one of the Indian restaurant situated in the heart of Halifax, Mirchi Tandoor. Starting with the most important part of the review, the food, and no doubt food here taste brilliant, no complains on that, although it might be little sweet for many people, so I would suggest asking for spicy or extra spicy depending on your appetite. I personally ordered their Chicken Lababdar and Chilly Garlic Naan, can be seen in photo, this my third time ordering the same curry, and vollaaa, what a taste, I would suggest going a option of with bone as you will get 4 chicken pieces which are worth it, also chilly garlic naan was good, I just felt it was little priced, if they offered it for $3 it will be worth it($4.99 original price). Moving forward, they have decent Indian cuisine menu, you can find enough options for vegetarian people as well, for non vegetarian people they got plenty of options. The restaurant is quiet small in size, hardly can accommodate 20 people at once, and some how they have managed to keep 7-10 tables in the space, but considering its location in downtown, I got no complaints. For serving they have brilliant and well trained staff, so no improvement in that area as well. There is NO onsite parking, you can park you on street but they don t have a parking lot. Lastly, here s my detailed rating for each thing: Food( compared to price ) : 4/5 Food (in taste) : 5/5 Service : 5/5 Overall : 5/5 Recommended !!

Have been visiting them for a few years now but dont think Id prefer going there again. We had to send back undercooked prawns only to get undercooked ones again. Same thing happened with the Chicken biryani too. The chicken was fine but the rice was way undercooked. When we complained about it, they took it back and got another undercooked one yet again. We had to wait for almost an hour overall, only to get undercooked food. Realizing that theres no point in complaining again, we had to pack the food and leave hungry to recook at home again. Such a disappointing experience.

Title: Heavenly Flavors: Mirchi Tandoors Lamb Rogan Josh, Prawn Karahi, Chicken Methi, and Laccha Paratha Rating: (5/5) Mirchi Tandoor Indian Restaurant is an absolute delight for food enthusiasts seeking a taste of authentic Indian cuisine. I recently had the pleasure of indulging in their Lamb Rogan Josh, Prawn Karahi, Chicken Methi, and Laccha Paratha, and I must say, my taste buds were overwhelmed with joy. The Lamb Rogan Josh was a melt-in-your-mouth experience. The tender lamb was cooked to perfection in a rich, aromatic gravy, complemented by the perfect balance of spices. The dish had a depth of flavors that left me wanting more an absolute must-try for all lamb aficionados. The Prawn Karahi was a true masterpiece. The juicy prawns were cooked in a flavorsome tomato and onion-based gravy, infused with aromatic spices. Each bite was filled with a burst of flavors, leaving a lingering taste that kept me craving for more. This dish is a testament to the culinary expertise of the chefs at Mirchi Tandoor. Next on our culinary journey was the Chicken Methi an absolute winner. The succulent chicken pieces were cooked with fresh fenugreek leaves, resulting in a delightful marriage of flavors. The dish had a perfect balance of spices and a distinctive aroma that left us utterly satisfied. To accompany our main dishes, we opted for the Laccha Paratha a flaky and multilayered bread that was an absolute delight. The paratha was cooked to perfection, with just the right level of crispness. Its buttery and rich texture complemented the curries impeccably. Overall, Mirchi Tandoor Indian Restaurant has nailed it when it comes to flavors and authentic Indian cuisine. The Lamb Rogan Josh, Prawn Karahi, Chicken Methi, and Laccha Paratha were exceptional dishes that left a lasting impression. The quality of ingredients, the skilled preparation, and the attention to detail make this restaurant a must-visit for anyone craving an extraordinary Indian culinary experience. The friendly staff and warm ambiance further enhanced our dining experience. The attentive service and knowledge about each dish made us feel welcomed and appreciated as guests. If you have a love for Indian food and want to be transported to a world of incredible flavors, I highly recommend Mirchi Tandoor Indian Restaurant. Prepare yourself for a memorable culinary journey that will leave you craving for more, i had to even do a take out order .

I ordered tandoori chicken. I am very disappointed as the chicken was not cooked properly. The masala paste was still outside the chicken with oil filled. Worst purchase ever. Never going back.

April 22, 2024

Bought their tandoori chicken and it was undercooked with oil all over. Please save your money and buy your food from somewhere else.

Have eaten here twice. It is the best sign when the people of the culture eat at the restaurant! I am not at all tolerant of spicy while some of my family can do Indian spicy and the kitchen is very accommodating to a wuss like me! Everything was absolutely delicious.

I have been going to this restaurant from last 5 years.Their food has been good but this time. I went to the restaurant around 12:30 pm ordered Noodles and Manchurian.It was stale. The taste was awful like nothing was prepared fresh.I just couldn t finish. I complained about getting stale food and was offered to change the portion but this the only change i could see was they added crisp veg rest was same.I ended up falling sick.Not a good experience.

Vegetarian options: The restaurant is charging more for less portions of the food. The full plate is half of other restaurants as we compared with other restaurants. We had starters and main course but the food quality was not great. Chilli naan and garlic naan put in the same plate. Some customers don t eat spicy food they still put together. Mirchi tandoor please increase portion size and food quality as well.

Amazing taste with lots of of good spices. I love their lamb biryani which is my favourite . Also their mango lassi is the best in Halifax Always ready to serve and quick service.

We had visited for Sunday dinner. The place was overbooked but I informed my friend that the wait will be worth it. We had ordered chicken biryani, butter garlic naan, chilli garlic naan and butter chicken. All the dishes were top class. Food was really tasty. Got the similar vibes of having food in india. Quantity was good too. Hats off to those 2 girls Serving and cleaning the tables who were having a smile on the face and excellent service manners at that heavy rush. The lady on the counter to was sweet too. A must visit Indian cuisine restaurant in Halifax!

One of the WORST place you can dine in to experience Indian Cuisine. The biggest thing about Indian culture is their hospitality and this restaurant lacks in it big time , they won t take your order and will ignore you until your whole group is at the place. We ordered our appetizers and the moment we started to eat it , the waitresses was on our head to ask for the main course food if we want to. Kept on checking on us after every 5 minutes to see how much time we are going to to take to finish our food so that they can prepare the table for the other people who are waiting. If you cannot serve people , why would you offer to dine in ? The place is small , chaotic , and tables attached to one another with small spaces. You can literally listen people talking. I won t recommend this place for dine - in . One of the worst place to when it comes to hospitality and service. Most of the food item are pre cooked and tasteless. There are far better restaurants available in the city .

Last weekend I and my friends had dinner at mirchi tandoor on the occasion of my brothers birthday. I really appreciate the services provided by the mirchi tandoor as they serve services to all people equally because I have observed it they serve so quickly, we ordered lots of things on that day and I think we got our food after 20 minutes approximately after ordering it this is the reason it is one of the famous restaurants in halifax and so many people love to visit here. The main thing of food is taste which is brilliant hats off to the chief and his team who cooks such a good food. If you visit there then you should try each and every dish because all are tasty specially the soya chap tandoori, kadai panner, pav bhaji, samosa chat these are the best dish by him which I liked the most. Even, my brothers loved the non-vegetarian food made by him. So, In my perspective all should go and try food there. Also, they present food in punjabi dhaba style which remind us memory of Punjab. Even, the owner comes to everyones table to confirm all is good did which is also a good point . Overall, I suggest you to go there to enjoy there brilliant services and best taste. Vegetarian options: They have many options for vegetarian you can check on menu.

Amazing taste with quick and efficient service. Both veg and non-veg dishes were perfect. Chicken Madras and Chicken Lababdar were two must try dishes here if you love non-veg. Vegetarian options: Restaurant have good range of vegetarian dishes. Pav Bhaji, Veg biryani and Kadhi Pakora are few must try vegetarian dishes here. Parking: There is a paid public parking lot at Argyle street, next to the restaurant but have very limited spots. But paid street parking is available or if you don t mind 5-10 minutes walk there is paid public parking at Hollis Street and lower water street.

I must tell you the taste was delicious. We have visited many indian restaurants in Halifax but this one stood out no.1 among others. Specially the girl who took our order and served us food was very hospitable. I definitely recommend to try this place it has a wonderful menu and delicious food which they offer.

We happened upon this place that was close to the hotel. I love Indian food and this place did not disappoint. The servers there were really friendly, they were also considerate as they offered less spicy versions of their dishes which I declined as I like spicy food. I had the onion Baji as a starter and the lamb vindaloo with rice and the really delicious garlic naan for the main. My plates were empty and Id love to have more but I was too full. Id definitely be making a return visit on my next visit to Halifax.

Wry enjoyable experience and will be back again!

Very delicious Indian food! We had Butter Chicken, Paneer Butter Masala, plain rice, two orders of garlic naan and mango lassi! All so tasty. When we ordered, the server asked Normal spicy or Indian spicy? We loved that question! The normal spicy was spicy enough for me!! The flavours were so rich and deep; the sauces for both dishes was sooo yummy, we were spooning it up. The butter chicken was very tender. My first time having paneer, it was delicious! The restaurant was very busy but the staff were on top of things. The food came out within 15 minutes of ordering it. Wait staff were very attentive, checking in multiple times and clearing our dishes quickly. Overall a great experience. Will definitely return!!

I have spent about 150 $ on the food and it doesnt taste good, really low quantity and I wanted to return a drink because I didnt even open it yet they didnt take it and they charged me 3x times the actual price of the Coke. And the food is so overpriced compared to the taste and quantity. DO NOT RECOMMEND GOING HERE.
