Had their Sambhar Vada and Momos. Took 20 minutes to make em. And got 6 momos for 10 bucks. Thatd doesn't justify with quality and taste of sambhar vada was terrible. Been here before, not a pleasant experience always with quality and pricing.
Mouth-watering authentic desi Halal food at a reasonable price and generous quantity. Special thanks to the server Prince and chef Ismail!
Exceptional Dining Experience at Passage to India, Halifax Rating: 5/5 Stars During my recent visit to Halifax from Alberta, I had the pleasure of dining at Passage to India, and it was a truly fantastic experience. As a Punjabi, I was pleasantly surprised to find authentic and delicious Indian cuisine, reminiscent of home. Our server, Chandan, was exceptional in her hospitality and service. She was polite, attentive, and ensured our needs were met with a warm smile. Her professionalism and dedication to providing excellent service deserve recognition, and I strongly recommend considering her for a promotion. The culinary team, led by the talented chef, deserves equal praise for crafting dishes that were both flavorful and authentic. The presentation, quality, and portion sizes were all impressive. Passage to India has earned a loyal customer in me, and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving Indian cuisine in Halifax. The exceptional service, combined with the outstanding food, makes this establishment a must-visit. Well done, Passage to India, and keep up the fantastic work!
Very delicious food & friendly staff ♥️ served by Prince
It was not for the first time I was there, but tried chole bathure for very first time came with sliced pickled onions on side. The bathure soft and perfect, chole were fresh I am not huge fan of chickpeas but I really liked the gravy having perfect bled of spices and it was not overdone. I enjoyed my meal and today it was buy one get one free so I paid only for one of the plates and we got pakode (fritters) complimentary with yummy mint sauce. I like their desi spicy Chou min / 🍜noodles I missed their food vale one liners on the walls
One of the best cocktails I’ve had in a while, with fresh mint and well chosen spices giving a unique taste it was quite refreshing after a long hot sunny day. Would definitely recommend.
Not a regular complainer for food!! This is what I got ordering Schezwan Chicken Fried rice. 2 dollar size carrots and bouquet size cauli flowers with Basmati Rice mixed with some sea smelled curry. Not even sauted properly.Cauli flower was mid-stale. Called them. Told them this is what I got from ordered. They told me Schezwan fried rice is prepared 'different' and this is how it is!
BeWARE Customers.. Horrible customer service. Ridiculous behavior . No integrity. No sincerety I waited for 35 mins . The place was not crowded...as you can see in the picture...the lady at the counter told me to wait for 20 mins, I waited for 30, 10 mins extra only to be told that they have still not prepared our food and misplaced the order ..the people who came after us were served and we waited and waited ...when we protested they were RUDE. The old guy with a beard said "I don't care if you give any review".. Arrogant attitude... We are not endorsing for any other food chain, AddA and Bedharam Bar have excellent customer service even when they are crowded....Pride Hath Fall... Please get some wisdom 🙏
The restaurant offers an authentic Indian food experience. Each type of gravy has a distinct, rich flavor that truly stands out. I left feeling completely satisfied and will definitely return for more
We used to come at this place alot but lately from last few times there service has been worst. Everytime i order same things and it comes up with different things.
I odered one dal makhani and 5 roti. I still waiting from one hour. So disappointed and owner need to hire staff. Only one person work outside and one person inside.
Very bad food
Amazing food quality and quantity. Excellent customer service also atmosphere. I will suggest to everyone to visit this place.amazing.
Great Service, Thanks Prince bhai
Terrible food
Very poor taste, there are many better Indian restaurants around
we ordered at late night and Service was excellent from akash and food was better than I expected
One of the best service got last night. Specially by Akash. The food was good too.
We ordered late night take out for food ! The Akash was very nice and kind. They were about to close but the staff still made our food with their best capacity.
I ordered Amritsari Kulcha from Uber, which was part of a Buy 1 Get 1 Free deal. Each kulcha was priced at $10, and with taxes, I paid $28 for two plates. Based on the offer, I expected to receive four kulchas, but only received two. When I called the restaurant to clarify, the person on the phone was unhelpful and kept insisting that since I paid $20, I would only get two kulchas, despite the promotion. This response left me confused, as it contradicts the Buy 1 Get 1 Free deal advertised. I ve dined in at this restaurant before and had a good experience, but this time, I was left disappointed by both the service and the way the issue was handled.
There momos was mouth watering . It is the original recepie without adulteration
I found a screw in my food
Not at all happy with the customer service They were playing so loud music couldn t even talk to each other properly Took so long to prepare our food half of us nearly completed our food and some didn t even get it Not visiting again
The timings and food are wrong
Decent Indian food, cozy atmosphere. Overpriced and medium quality. Attentive service, but excessive upselling.
The food is average. Ordered manchurian today, which was too less in terms of quantity. Service has improved since the last few visits.
Food was really good but servers did not know that whenever they set up glass they should not touch/pick them up from top instead of picking them up from bottom. We have to drink from the top!
Very nice customer service by Richa
I visited this weekend with friends really enjoyed the taste of shahi paneer this time..!!
Once we had amazing Pav Bjaji here, with that impression we went again after few months and the test completely changed. Not good enough to try again. However, they have decent deserts and nice staff.
Their deluxe Thali is yummy
We order vadapav and medu Vada. Vada paav is soggy and sweet and medu Vada is not chewable. Also worst service with rudely answer and not hygiene maintain. Food safety should measure here. Food : 1/5 |
Vegetarian options: Amazing food Food
The most delicious food and amazing service by Prince, the most delightful experience ever in Halifax and amazing prices
Order pav bhaji from uber eats they send spoiled food .
chole bahture is too bad it cause stomach pain
The guy name Prince was so humble and nice .Overall experience at passage to India was so good .
Waste of money Everything was not not fresh it may be the before days Food
Wouldn t be ever interested to order again , 1. Pav bhaji served with burger buns from dollarama , really expensive store to pick the buns from couldn t ever imagine how dry and delicious they were can t forget, bhaji was awesome with luxurious oil on the top and tarka on the bottom, feel like sitting in a pan from long time loved it , 2. Kachori - loved with first look , but when you open then you know the secret inside. Couldn t keep my eyes away. Train wreck. God Really given talented hands to make this all but i think it needs to be returned. Thank you
Best food in the world. So affordable and best experience.
Very great experience after so long time. Great Indian food. Very affordable. Food : 5/5
Food is very delicious and their instant service is appreciating. Their new menu must try is Kebab and thali
Food was really great and we love the service too
Poor customer service. They don t know how to talk. They would take hours for short order and not pick up a call. 4 uber drivers got changed for our order and they again said it d take another hour. Are you kidding, 3 hours for just daal and roti? Next time I ll order one day before since they didn t have enough time to prepare .
Good Vegetarian options: Its excellent Food : 5/5 |
Good food:)
Food was awesome outstanding customer services .. best in town .. please must try it Highly recommended .. Food
Good food Authentic taste Food
Everything is perfect I like dahi Gol gappe very much thank you
The staff is great and so is the food. I find the customer service here quite admirable. They also have monthly tiffin/dinner options for students at low prices, which is quite convenient. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian food, like veg biryani. Kid-friendliness: It has a nice family atmosphere and families do come by with their kids quite often.
Excellent food, best service, must visit place in Halifax for people who are looking for an authentic Biryani
It is a good restaurant for families and friends dining, Some foods are delicious and some are not up to the mark, Also, some days the food tastes good, Especially the biryanis, no consistency, I assume that they use the frozen chicken at times instead of the fresh chicken, Overall is good, but need some improvement
I went with my friend and we ordered paneer burger and Momos. Both were so bad. Momos were so dry and with the taste it was looking like they were cooked long time ago. Specially, paneer patty was so dry . Just waisted our money. Me and my friend got sick. It looks they sold us stale food. Never coming back, I went their a year ago had bad experience. This time again terrible.
I recently tried some Indian sweets, but they werent fresh, which was especially disappointing with the Jalebi. I hope they improve the quality. I have tried the Indian buffet a few times in the past, and the quality is just okay. Its a decent option since there arent many choices in downtown. So, if you just want to satisfy your craving for Indian food, you can visit.
Yesterday I ordered Bhature Chole and veg Manchurian and both the items were very tasty, just the Manchurian was a little tight but the gravy was very tasty Food
Horrible experience . Served burnt dal and when complained about the same , was told that they would take the feedback to the kitchen later but no replacement was offered or nothing . The quality of food was horrible. There are better places in town for Indian food. I couldn t even finish the food offered here .
Customers are treated well here. Food was very delicious. I really appreciate the service of server name prince.
Delicious Food at an affordable Price
I ordered break Kit Kat. It looked nothing like they shown in the picture on their website. It was just plain chocolate missing all its presentation.
Stale biryani ,playing with peoples life
their chole bhature tastes so good. the staff is very friendly too. thank you we had really good time.
Great food and the customer service was also too good. Really recommend it to all.
I told them to make bit spicy punjabi style but these people don t how to cook. They put around 100 green chilies to make it spicy.
Very slow, poor service. Had to ring a bell for someone to come and take my order and even then they took their time coming out from the back (it was not busy at all, I was the only customer). I ordered butter chicken for take out. I was neither informed the butter chicken does not come with rice nor was I asked if I wanted to purchase any rice. After waiting an abnormally long time and paying an exorbitant amount ($26 including 15% tip and two pieces of bread), I got back to work to discover all I had was butter chicken, no rice at all! I ate what I had and it would have been pretty decent if there was rice. Extremely disappointed in the very lazy and complacent service.
I Ordered Dahi Bhalla, no napkin no spoons, taste was also KAMCHLAU. Try other options folks.
Awesome food, nice service
Best food in Halifax..
Good Vegetarian options: Good Food : 5/5 |
Very good
Me and my friend went there to have samosa and masala chai. We asked the lady bunch of questions about the samosa and the nice lady assured us the samosas are fresh and crispy. And after having the samosas I can say those are amazing, one of the best samosas of Halifax. Me and my friend are planning to go there again
Best services in the town..Too happy to dine here..!!
Everything s perfect
They have many options in their menu to choose at very reasonable price. Taste is THE best never had this much yummy food in Nova Scotia before. Anyone missing the taste of india should visit them.
Worth for money and so many varieties with good quantity and quality Vegetarian options: Have many options for vegetarians and also for eggetarians. Food : 5/5 |
Bravooo
Vegetarian options: Good Food
Amazing food is excellent service Must try Food
Amazing staff and service. The food speaks for itself. Mouth watering menu. Always a good experience.
Everything was great.! Had a great fun with my friends
After landing in Halifax, was looking for some authentic Indian food especially briyani.. finally found this place. Had boneless chicken briyani which was so good. Quantity of rice and chicken needs a special mention. Ample of dining space.
One of the best restaurant for indian
Spent 60$ on rotis that were made at least 10 hours ago , next time will starve to death but not eat from here .
Excellent food and really pleasant staff.
Very nice food. Vadda pau was the best. They served it too quick. Must visit
I loved the service and the food was good. Prince was a great server.
The tandoori and Pulao rice is really good! We came here 3 times to eat it!

Amazing experience and delicious food. Highly recommend
Dal makhani, roti, biryani were 10/10 and Prince was amazing. Would recommend 100%
siddharth was amazing excellent customer service

First time visit Passage to india Restaurant in halifax. The food looks really fresh cooked and tasty. The waiting time was approximately 15 minutes . We tried Sanwiches , Chole Bhature, Paratha . The Service was also good . If i get chance i will definitely try other items as well here . My overall experience with this restaurant was good. Vegetarian options: Chole Bhature, Sandwiches, Parantha.
Must try Chicken Biryani! Very reasonable rates for the quality and quantity!
Delicious food and super friendly staff Must visit! Food
Worse food I have ever eaten in Halifax
Delicious food great service by chandan
The owner and the staff is very rude and arrogant, their service is very slow and when food came it was below average. Moreover, they don t even serve fresh food. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone else. Had a Bad experience
Worst restaurant to place order, I placed order and being waited for 2 hrs , they didn t prepared my order with uber eat, staff is always confused with orders and mix with other people orders don t order.. Food
Very good service, food was fantastic
Yesterday ,April 21 at around 2.00 PM ,I ordered a chicken Biriyani from this store .I actually got an Uber offer for buy one get one and so I was so hungry and thought I can use it.I ve been living in HRM area for the past 6 years and I moved from Cape Breton to here .The worst Biriyani I ever had in my life.Im not sure how you guys made it .A total of 3 small pieces of chicken in 2 chicken Biriyani and so no masala nothing it s jus kind of cool plain rice and I ordered it at 2 pm and I got the food around 3.35.After 1.5 hrs .I complained to Uber and so I guess they knew it was late and food was cool down and for that reason they credited me back the money and that was respectful.Well the thing I m not sure is when I have Buy one Get one offer ,Is that because of that reason my food was not worthy at all or the store people thought it s would be okay as it s buy one get one. Of course I got an offer but I was paying for that and tipping for that and my money is worthy for myself. I was planing to open up a restaurant in Halifax and it would never be something like this and my roommates were saying that even they could make better one than this one.Never ever back to this store. I don t have the pic becuse I ve uploaded it directly in Uber else I could ve contacted .Thanks
Pathetic food, Its a disgrace in name of Indian food, Because of restraunts like these the name of Indian food is spoiled. Ordered Hyderabadi chicken biryani :- They gave red coloured rice and one small chicken thigh cut in pieces Samosa :- All i could taste was vegetable oil that too many times used oil. Please save your money and dont fall for their offers because ITS NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!!!
Had food over here last night having worst food poisoning since happened with me last time as well.
Never try Food from there. My Stomach is upset since, I tried there Food. Poor Food Quality.
Worst biryani i ever had its not even a biryani just some rice and chicken and rice thats it no flavoirs at all
We eat many times here . They never disappoint us. Food is always very tasty. Vegetarian options: Veg sandwiches, veg thali , samosa Food : 5/5 |
Biryani and cholay was good. Definitely visiting next time soon
Sometimes good, sometimes underwhelming.
order through uber eats worst biriyani i ever had in my life sad part is i orderd 2
We have tried Amritsari Kulcha and Mango lassi, both were good in taste. It s the best amristari kulcha I have ate in Halifax, authentic made in tandoor. The new BC owner is very polite and checking and taking care of all the customers.We also got complimentary onion pakora.They are providing buffet from Friday-Sunday. Suggestion- The presentation of mango lassi glass if it s surrounded by shredded coconut on the sides of glass than it will look more beautiful and the chunks will add good taste. And I would like to add little pinch of salt in the kulcha masala. Vegetarian options: You can also try vegetarian thali.
I heard that you guys improved but food wasnt good, daal makhni OMG worst daal today & chilli paneer was tasteless more kachchi tandori roti kyu guys kyu logo k saath k kheltey hai aap? Thanks guys for enjoying the food
Very bad food not tasty at all if you want to waste your money go there
Your food was of poor quality. I had a cholle bhature, cholle was having food bacteria because they were older sitting in the fridge. Bhature was uncooked, oily, too much unhealthy maida. I got sick and got diarrhea for next 5 days. I had a very difficult time during those days. I complaint to the Aunty at that time but Being an Indian, I did not complain to the NS food inspector but I quit your restaurant.
Excellent helping staff, best food around, heaven hai bhai try kro
. Don t even know how to treat someone..
I am getting addicted to their food specifically the amritsari naan
They have some of the best Indian food, great buffet in certain days I believe at the mall location great spot on Dalhousie too. They have Tiffin service too. And the owner is an incredible person caring and shares a passion for food and good service.
Had ordered chicken kathi roll too much veggies and too less amount of chicken and no taste
So yummy, I had the butter chicken combo and it was the best Indian food I ve ever eaten.
Food quality- 0, We ordered thali, in name of Naan we where served something but definitely not Naan, I pointed out this to lady who came to ask about food, but she ignored my feedback. Shahi paneer was extremely sweet and seems stale. Worst is my wife had vomiting just 15 min after having this thali. Absolutely no words. Why serve something which is not good or stale, by serving such food you are playing with customers health. Really disappointed, never again.
great vibes lovely staff
Sooo goodd
best food ever!!!
Very poor service even they served us stale chapatti
Its too cold food. I never prefer to come here again. Even their only few things left. Vegetarian and non vegetarian food are mix up. I give only -1 out of 100. Even 3rd class quality Food. Tasteless food. 21.99 $ unlimited food is totally scam. Please don t waste your money in this restaurant. Rude behaviour.
Worst ever restaurant i have visited in my life. Very disappointing experience. Third class food quality & service . There is no taste in food & don t waste your money in this restaurant. Do not ever try food at this place . you may got sick after having food at this place , if you want yourself keep healthy don t go over there .
I wish i could give the points in minus, these guys really needs to learn all the recipes first, i tried buffet and all the items are of same taste , everything is cold. I wish i never entered this restaurant. No quality at all. Waste of money. Showing off only for the good customer service.
one of the best amritsari kulcha i have had in a very long time in canada and the staff went above and beyond to make sure food was okay ..we also got a complimentary pakode which was very good
Very nice food fresh samosas and free pakoras it was great. Prince was a great host
Best place to visit
Had a great experience here ! Food was really amazing and customer service is excellent and fast !
I recently dined at this restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by the delicious food and the warm, friendly staff. From the moment I stepped in, I felt welcomed and valued as a customer. The food was outstanding, with each dish bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. The staff were attentive and went out of their way to ensure I had a fantastic dining experience. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for great homely taste food served with a smile.
Amritsari kulcha was very good. The service was very nice as well, all thanks to server chandan.
Ordered Amritsari Kulcha with chole and egg roll. Food was very good and the service was excellent as well. Special mention: Chandan, thanks for the great service.
Tandoori paneer burger was the best i have ever had in nova scotia and staff was very friendly. Chandan was our server, her positive friendly attitude was cherry on top!!
The food was amazing so was the service
The staff was very friendly and cooperative..... They suggested us the current offers and food quality was also pretty good. We were served hot cholle bhature.. we loved it.... Great place
One of the best place to have indian food here in halifax .. Bravo!
Food is good
i love the food and all the environment out there, best place to be there see you soon

Not good service food is very disgusting no taste nothing specially butter naan not even cooked properly it was like frozen bread i wasted my money and time and wait was too long spoiled my whole day
Best food
Oily food
Great spicy biryani, love the grilled chicken, very tender!
Paneer chilli - Paneer was floating in oil and water . Momos- Their was black small stone and the chutney was watery and so tangy. Will never order it again . Food : 1/5
Not good food anymore
Thanks for your amazing service. I had a doordash order and was worried about my order so I called the store. The person who picked the call was so nice and sweet and told me what was going on. I really love the way the person did the conversation. Thanks so much
Great service
Definitely a place to go for Indian Foodies
Terrible service, food was days old and served to me ice cold. Nasty
Pathetic
Solid options for a busy student. Portions are certainly sufficient. I like the energy.
Awesome service best butter chicken evver
This place is epic
Super yummy food!
Bad service, food quantity is high but quality is average. Naan looks like papadam. I told feedback to then .and that ended with gulab jamun.
Quick, fresh, delicious and right on campus. Not much more you can ask for as a student.
