I am so glad to share this expierence I went to Twist of India today and the visit was absolutely worth it.... We ordered Triple Schezwan rice, Manchow soup and Chilly paneer gravy ... All 3 were superb in taste and by far the best in halifax ... I have to agree it had indian chinese flavour which was the best...Also we were so grateful to Shivam He was so supportive on suggestions and also we wanted food less spicy and he made sure that food was less spicy....Also during whole dinner he was quite alert towards us even when he was sitting far so that he does not miss our any call for help or order....Overall 5 star to restaurant 5 star to food 5 star to Shivam 5 star to the chef....
We loved the food and service at Twist of India. The chicken tandoori was juicy and very tasty. The triple Schezwan fried rice and chicken in hot garlic sauce reminded us of Indian Chinese. Will surely visit again.
Enjoyed Diwali special Thali. Excellent food but service was bit slow as we waited for almost half hour for our food. But it’s mainly due to the fact they were super busy that night. So, not a big issue. Staff was very friendly. Will definitely visit again.
10/10 loved the food!! The tandoori chicken was so juicy and tender. Everything was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavour. Customer service was excellent!! They helped us pick dishes and made our evening a wonderful dining experience. You need to try this place! Bre Bre_HfxFoodie on the gram
Great atmosphere. Even better food. Certainly a place I would recommend anyone if an authentic South Asian experience is what they desire.
I recently visited The Twist of India Restaurant Bar in the heart of Halifax, and while I had high expectations, my overall experience was mixed. Starting with the positives, the service was excellent. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly, and the staff, particularly our waiter, was polite and always had a friendly smile, which made our dining experience pleasant. Their hospitality was definitely a highlight of the visit. However, the food, unfortunately, did not live up to the standard I had hoped for. I ordered the dragon chicken with butter and garlic naan, but the gravy was overly salty. I requested the dish to be made less salty, and while the adjustment helped, the dish still lacked the authentic flavor that I expected from dragon chicken. It felt like the true taste was missing. I also tried the chilly paneer, which had an average taste and didn’t stand out compared to other Indian restaurants I’ve visited. For dessert, I decided to try the jamun pista kulfi, which was an interesting and unique variety. It was probably the best part of the meal and added a nice touch to the otherwise mediocre food experience. One minor inconvenience was the parking. It’s quite tough to find a spot directly in front of the restaurant, but there’s a paid parking option in a nearby building, which worked for us. Overall, while the service was great, the food left much to be desired.
This was a wonderful experience. Starting with the food, it was scrumptious. We have eaten a lot of Indian food and this is one of the best. Portions were generous and everything was fresh and well spiced. Our server, Shivam, was lovely and oh-so fast. We never wanted for water, we were able to order quickly and the place wasn't quiet! Finally the venue is well decorated and cozy. Also, a very good bar menu that we'll have to try next time.
The food was absolutely delicious. The server was kind and helpful. We were sat, and had our food and ate in less than an hour. And the portions were great. Would recommend!
One of the few good indian restaurants in the city. This is a great place for Momo and Chaat. We are yet to try the Curries/Naans but I am pretty sure, it will be good as well(Will update after I try it). The service is great. A must try! Dietary restrictions: I asked for less spicy and the chef prepared exactly how I wanted it and the food didn t loose its flavor

I visited the Twist of India to try their Indian cuisine. Standout dishes were Dragon Chicken, Lamb Rogan Josh & Rose Jamun. Reasonably priced for quality & portion. Service was friendly & attentive. Must visit a place for good food & warm ambience.
We had the lamb Rogan Josh, butter chicken, lamb biryani, garlic naan, and dessert. Everything was excellent and the staff were so kind. Our new favourite Indian restaurant.

Restaurant was charming, eggplant bartha was excellent, and the server recognized me and my partner as a couple and sat us at a booth. Would recommend.

I went here with my partner for dinner and it was so good!! The server was very nice and the food was great (and lots of vegetarian options)!

Very glad I stopped in! Good selection on the menu, plenty to choose from but not overwhelming. Very flavourful, well seasoned and good level of spice. Service was great and helpful, and frequent enough. We had the veg momos and two different paneer dishes, and both were good. Would recommend if you re looking for a good Indian restaurant! Vegetarian options: Plenty of options here, about half the menu had non meat options.
Delicious food, attentive service and a very comfortable vibe. Will be back!

Great food with peaceful atmosphere.
It was my first time visiting this place. The ambience was great. The food was awesome. I will definitely recommend Murg Reshmi Tikka, by far the best tikka I had in recent time. We also had Panner Do Pyaaza and Chicken Do Pyaaza, which were good too.
The food and service was amazing. . The ambience was very good. Love the place. Will definitely visit again.
Good food and service! will come again

Tasty food, and nice service
The service at the table was amazing. The server was lovely. We needed to run to a Neptune show, or we wouldve stayed longer. Vegetarian options: Amazing selection of veggie options for my friends
Had the momos and moilee which was very good.
Tasty food literally. Loved it absolutely loved it. Thanks for your great service and even greater food.
Yesterday I ordered dal Bukhara and paneer butter masala and butter naan which was not good at all.All three items were ok ok
Very friendly staff and delicious good
Every now and then one gets to have a great experience. Twist of India s butter naan made this experience fantastic for me of all the butter naan I ve had in Halifax so far, I can say that this is the best. The curry (I had paneer do pyaza) was well balanced, with authentic flavours. Overall, a wonderful meal! I typically wait to have tried a place at least twice before posting reviews. But the butter naan experience made me think to write the review after trying this place just once well done team. I hope your food remains consistent and delightful!
With the exception of actually eating in India, this the fullest Ive felt when leaving a restaurant. Heavily recommend.
Amazing good , friendly people and great experience !!! Highly recommend! Vegetarian options: Great selection !
We had craving for hakka Chinese, which was very well satisfied at this place. Felt like we were eating on streets of Mumbai. Authentic taste & cozy ambience. Will definitely be back. Thank you guys for delicious food & being so patient with our 1 year old
Would 100% recommend this place. The service was good nd the wait time for the food wasn t too long. The servers were nice and the owners were very friendly too. I would recommend the rose jamun icecream. I have never tried something like that b4 it was innovative nd delicious. The dishes taste almost exactly how they are in India. Very enjoyable experience!
Twist of India serves delicious food and they provide great service too. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Definitely one of the best restaurants we have in Halifax
We have food allergies and the chef came out to speak with us about the options. The food was amazing and the service was also very good. Highly recommend. Vegetarian options: Plenty of options Dietary restrictions: Chef came to speak with us and was able to accommodate easily.
The place has good options for Indian food. Ghe variety and spice level is also worth the price. Just a tad bit dissapointed with the service. Takes quite some time to bring out food if you are a large group. But they compliment it. They were late with our orders but left us smiling with complimentary gulab jamuns when we left! Else a good place to explore Indian food!
Vegetarian options: Good paneer starter options. Good veg food. Food
If I could give the food a 4.5 stars, I think I would. The curry we got was very good. Unlike most of the other Indian curries I have tried, this one contained a lot of vegetables rather than just pieces of chicken. However, the garlic naan we got was just okay. It felt a bit too garlicy and not very buttery, and it was neither crunchy nor soft. Somewhere in between. Parking: We parked on the streets somewhere nearby and walked over.
Outstanding Dining Experience at Halifax Twist India Today, we had the pleasure of dining at Halifax Twist India, and it was nothing short of exceptional. The food served was simply amazing, with flavors that truly captured the essence of authentic Indian cuisine (Shivam ). Chef Mandeep deserves special praise for crafting dishes that were not only delicious but also perfectly spiced to our liking. The service was top-notch, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. We absolutely loved every moment of it and can t wait to return for another delightful meal!
All the food was very fresh hence the food was amazing

Delicious! Best Indian in halifax
Such good food ! So authentic and could tell it was made with love :)
Great food - very tasty! Will be back.
Food is good we have been coming here bcoz of the consistency in taste but what we have observed that they have one staff and that guy runs helter skelter to fetch everything been seeing things like in most of the Indian restaurants to be specific and how they exploit their own kind to earn big profits is like a joke !!! and it s happening in canada locals need to take a serious note of such things
Shivam was an excellent server and Mandeep preparation of food was awesome
Had an amazing dine-in experience at the Twist of India restaurant. The food here is outstanding and the staff really courteous. Best place in town for Indo-Chinese cuisine along with the spectacular Delhi style Butter chicken. A must visit for all food lovers!
Delish! Unique dishes! We will be back
The best Indian food ever with less oil and loaded with flavors.. Highly recommend
The food is fantastic! Fresh and delicious. Would highly recommend. Food
The food was fabulous, all dishes prepared to spice preference and full of fresh, authentic flavor. I would highly recommend Twist of India. If you get a thirst, order 2 drinks at a time as although the service was attentive, had to chase for drinks.
Very good food and very good service. Vegetarian options: Lot of vegetarian options Food : 5/5 |
Food was great

Awsome place! Will be back. The dessert ( free) was like a warm hug.
Lamb Rogan Josh was tender and the perfect amount of spice (mild I ordered but still perfectly spicy) - the Cumin rice was an added touch and the garlic nann was fresh, buttery and a nice light dough. I loved the intimate atmosphere and the cute, friendly staff were great from start to finish.
This was the best Indian meal Ive had in Halifax in recent memory. All apps and mains were delicious. The lamb and garlic naan were cooked to perfection. The staff were extremely friendly. I would highly recommend this place. Ill be back!
Food is quite delicious And the service is also good Food
We went there on Sunday night and the food is great and the service was awesome. Special thanks to our host, Shivam!!! He was great, suggested us some good choices and was just amazing with his conversations. They even gave us free Rose gulab jamus that are to die for. 10/10 recommend!

Authentic Indian food, with friendly staff!
We just had that desire for a really good curry, being Brits and all, so started googling Indian restaurants in Halifax. Twist of India came up on our radar because of good reviews and boy, were they right! We took our 2 young kids in, which can always be a challenge, but it was fine. They made both of their meals extremely low spice but both were still fabulously flavourful. My partner and I tried some new stuff, and a familiar dish also. The 2 starters, Chicken Tandoori Momos & Hara Bhara Kebab were fabulous, flavour and textures and spice level. The Prawns Moilee was good but not sure I personally liked enough to order again. The Chicken Do Pyaza was amazing. I would pick it slightly spicier next time, more like a medium hot instead of medium but that would be my only criticism (and that was on us not them anyway). The garlic naan was thin, crispy and garlic buttery, and I am not sure what the mango lassi was like as the kids drank it too quick. There was also colourings and chocolates for the kiddos!!
Amazing Vegetarian options: Amazing food Food : 5/5 |
Amazing food and we appreciate the hospitality given by staff, highly recommend
We enjoyed a wonderful meal today and excellent service
The food was fantastic! My family and I loved it. The chef explained the dishes in a very professional manner. We highly recommend this amazing authentic Indian restaurant.
A must visit. The sauces are exquisite and subtle enough however, with fragrance that pops. Chicken is so tender. Naan is freshly made and be sure to pair with it all with a Nova Scotia Tidal Bay wine! Vegetarian options: Food was amazing
Excellent food, service and atmosphere! Highly recommend!
Every thing was delicious. I will definitely come back .
This quiet, out-of-the-way restaurant deserves better then the hard to spot alley way entrance. The food was a delicious mixture of savory and spicy, with meaty, vegetarian, or mixed I love from Indian cuisine! Greatly recommend, will come again! Vegetarian options: Love the chickpea and lentil options, delicious and healthy!
Super good little restaurant run by the owners. Excellent traditional Indian cuisine. Warm welcome and relaxed atmosphere.
Absolutely phenomenal food, couldnt recommend it highly enough. Vegetarian options: Chana Masala, Paneer Masala, Eggplant curry, Fish Curry. Food : 5/5 |

This was a truly delicious meal! Honestly didn t expect much going in, but the atmosphere is quaint, the music is great and the food was absolutely AMAZING! And not crazy expensive either. Highly recommend.
Authentic Indian food. Good services. Highly recommend Vegetarian options: Good choices Food : 5/5 |
I recently dined at here, and I must say, the Paneer Butter Masala was outstanding! The paneer was soft and fresh, and the rich, creamy gravy had just the right balance of spices. Pairing it with their soft, buttery naan made for a perfect meal. The flavors were authentic and left me wanting more. I highly recommend this dish to anyone who enjoys a good North Indian meal. The ambiance was pleasant, and the service was prompt, adding to the overall great dining experience. Definitely a place I ll be visiting again!
Amazing food. Staff was exceptional and took pride in their service! Highly recommend.
The fried momos and Schezwan noodles was so delicious .
Vegetarian options: All good Food
Food was great as well as service. Must go place.
This restaurant was by far one of the best Indian restaurants I ve been to, and I ve been to a lot of them!! I tried the chickpea masala with cumin rice, and garlic bread and it was sooo good!!
Exceptional food and great service. If I ever come back to Halifax. Ill definitely stop by. The vegetarian menu is very good.
