Aviyal Indian Kitchen in Lower Sackville

Hi, I was ordered catering for my team and the service was amazing! As well as food! Strongly recommend to try butter chicken - its yummy! Dietary restrictions: Diary free and Gluten free

Food is delicious, portions are tiny for the price, and service takes a long time. That s my tl;dr review.. the rest is below. We ve ordered from here twice. First time we had butter chicken, rice and naan. This time we had chicken tikka masala, lemon rice and naan. First, the good.. both the butter sauce and the tikka sauce were the best we ve ever had. Flavour is incredible and they can make it as spicy or as mild as you like. A bit oily, but that s pretty normal I think. The garlic naan is delicious and fresh. Everything was hot, and the lemon rice had great flavour. Now the bad. Both times it s taken ages for them to prepare the food, although the staff were friendly. And the portion of meat and veggies in the protein dishes was disappointingly small. Both butter chickens tikka masalas had exactly (6) bite-sized pieces of chicken in it, and a few veggies. You pick up the container thinking it s filled with food to open it and find out it s 90% oily (but delicious) sauce with a tiny portion of actual solid food in it. Our friends had butter paneer with the same number of cheese pieces in it.. but the pieces were tiny! The chicken was definitely overcooked, but the sauce countered that. Unfortunately, the sauce didn t help the few soggy peppers in dish. You re done with the actual food in a few bites, you re dipping your naan until it s gone, and then you re all done but you still have half a container of sauce. I guess you can make rice at home to get some leftovers out of it? That s pretty disappointing, because if I m spending $16 on an a la carte protein dish and then extra $$ on the rice, breads etc. I would expect to either be very satisfied, or have some leftovers for lunch the next day. I would much prefer half the amount of sauce and then have extra chicken and veggies to make it up. I wouldn t even necessarily mind paying a little extra for the dish if the proportions were right because it s so tasty, but I just can t justify paying that much money for take out to still be hungry. To be honest, we ll probably try out more of the other Indian spots in town before we come back here.

Excellent food!! Not a dine in restaurant, but they made it work for us .

Quality tasty Indian food ,friendly staff

We ordered chicken biryani, butter naan, and butter chicken from Aviyal Restaurant, and it was truly amazing! The flavors were rich, and everything tasted fresh. The biryani was delicious, and the naan paired perfectly with the butter chicken. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great takeout!

Good vegetarian lunch box for only $9.99. In the time it takes to get a fast food burger and fries, I can get a more wholesome meal for roughly the same price. Delicious!

Very Delicious food specially Tandoori chicken and Malabari chicken curry.

Butter chicken & rice & naan Yum.

This is some of the best Indian food I have had in a long time. It has big flavour and lots of complex spice taste that really shines. 110% worth the money and the service is friendly!

Great tasting Indian takeaway, good value and fantastic service

Really nice food

Delicious food mainly Biryani & Tandoori

Aviyal was our caterer in a small gathering we had recently and they did an awesome job. Our food was ready on time as promised, great service, and all the guests complimented on their Chicken Biryani Thanks, team Aviyal!

Great food and friendly service. The butter chicken and naan were amazing. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves Indian food.

Good restaurant with tasty food. Highly recommended!

This restaurant has to be one of my new favourites. Food was perfect and exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended!!!

Best food i had in halifax .

We placed a large take out order, communication was friendly, thorough and precise. The food was ready on time with a phone call to advise us of such. Most importantly..it was DELICIOUS! Vegan & g/f guests were able to enjoy the options with delight. Thank you for the amazing food!!

Ever best palak paneer had from halifax . Really like mango lessy and butter chicken as well Friendly staff Food

We ordered a wedding rehearsal dinner from a local caterer and made a sizeable down payment. Close to the wedding date the caterer went bankrupt and did not return our money. Our daughter, who had ordered takeout from Aviyal, said their food was great so I gave the owner, Sujith, a call. He was helpful with food recommendations and amounts. With vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free guests, Indian Food was the perfect choice and Aviyal Indian Kitchen was the perfect place. The dishes were all excellent, the price was reasonable and everything was in spill-proof containers. Only regret - that we didn t call Aviyal in the first place.

One of the best Indian restaurants that carries real taste of Indian food. Keep it up! Food

I tried their mutton biryani and the taste was excellent. The staff were very friendly and they have very reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

Love it!

Happy with my decision to eat at Aviyal! Had the lamb it doesn t disappoint

Great food! Our favorite Indian restaurant. Great service, always friendly and very reasonable prices. I would highly recommend!

Food was decent . We ordered malai kofta and naan . Gulab jambun had fungus on them

I eat a lot of Indian food and this is my new favorite spot. The paneer butter masala was out of this world. Our server was super nice and really accommodating. I dont live in this area but Ill go out of my way to go back.

Tandoori chicken and naan was really tasty, and the customer service was very friendly. Please do visit this place, highly recommended.

The lunch is really good

Love this place ever since it opened. Me and my dad love getting indian food as he grew up with it in the 80 s in England, and I love it just as much. They are always so nice and talkative to customers and they always make very good dishes. The butter chicken is my all time favourite, as it is for everyone else and for a good reason! The chicken tikka is also amazing. The rice is always so aromatic and yummy. The naan is just as good. The prices are very fair as well, as you do get a lot especially with the main curry dish if you get one. It always smells so good in there when I walk in and I love it. I hope you guys stay in business!! We need more indian restaurants in Sackville

Best butter chicken and chicken tikka masala in town

I have eaten here many times since i first tried it. The food is amazing and the staff are very friendly. Chicken Vindaloo and the Butter Chicken definitely favorites.

Most authentic Indian in Sackville. Moved from Brampton and couldnt find anything close to the same. This is the only spot Ill eat at now, incredibly nice staff and the taste reminds me of home.

Aviyal is my favourite place when I m craving Indian! Their chicken tikka masala is the best I ve had in Nova Scotia, and the samosas are also tasty. I have also tried the garlic naan as well rosemary garlic naan and loved both. I am excited to try more of their dishes in the future!

The food is extremely good and worth the wait. We wanted to eat there but quickly realized theyre set up for dining in. Staff were friendly and good, but next time well just get takeout.

Great food, each dish had a unique taste!

Very happy with our first order, delicious and fresh. The Pakora are soft and airy, and the Korma was amazing! Nice to have a chance to experience different regional favourites. Well definitely explore more of the menu!

I tried weekend special porotta and beef curry . It was so tasty and loved it so much . I really missed the taste of Kerala porotta and beef curry . For that reason , I tried this special from aviyal. It was out of my expectations .. really tastes like real Kerala food .. thank you aviyal for this delicious food and good service .. highly recommended . Expecting more from varieties from team aviyal

The food quantity was amazing. Very friendly staff and tasty food as well.

Great Service. Great Food. Hope they will open a dine-in soon. We will definitely visit back. The price is cheap, quantity and quality of food is awesome. PS: Thank you so much for giving me some hot water. Food : 5/5

Worst experience !! They said their todays special was kappa biriyani, so we ordered 5 of them, but I guess they only had enough for 2, still they didn t disappoint us instead they made 5 kappa biriyanis with two portion. Also we only got 4 boxes when we reached home. The only place that knows to do Miracle after Jesus. We had a big order which includes chicken biriyani as well, but that was below average. I can t even recommend it to anyone else. I did call them and complained about the same as well.

I shouldn t have ordered at the closing time. I m a biriyani lover and was disappointed with the way the onions and masala was roasted for the base taste. Will try another day during lunch hours and maybe it might be to my liking. My recent experience was unsatisfactory taste. Portion and chicken quality and rice was good.

This is a take-out place only but the owner was nice enough to allow us to eat at the one table they have in the front as we thought it was a dine-in restaurant. The food was delicious and the owner was very accommodating with dietary requests. We ordered the saag paneer, the lamb curry, garlic naan and rice. Im already looking forward to our next visit. Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options.

Got Chance to Try their ,Malyai chicken and Malayi Cofta, it was so delicious

This is the best Indian take out in the area. Big portions, good value for money, tastes great. Their butter naan is really nice with chicken tikka masala and rice.

We ve eaten here multiple times and the food is delicious! We ordered tonight and after getting home, noticed that one of our items was missing from our order. We called to let them know and they ended up delivering the item directly to our door! Incredible service. Highly recommend.

We got chicken briyani, butter chicken with naan, malai kofta, and tandoori roti for take-out. My hubby and I both picked Malai kofta(the white curry) the best among what we got!! If you look for a non-spicy, creamy, nutty, flavorful curry, you should try this one! I am a big fan of spicy food, and their chicken briyani had the right amount of heat for me. It was very tasty! I tried all Indian restaurants in Lower Sackville&Beaver Bank area, and I think this restaurant will be my go-to from now on :)

Just wanted to say this is by far the best Indian restaurant, I ordered from another today for a change while this one was closed and nothing compares! Food

I had a great time to taste Aviyal s delicious food It was so yummy and outstanding. I never miss a chance to taste it again Really I appreciate the hand work for it. thank you so much all the best.

Very friendly service and good South Indian food. Enjoyable experience.

By far the best Indian food i have eaten. Very affordable. Generous portions. Well worth the trip to Sackville for it. 10/10

Oh! My! Gosh! This food, let me tell you! My boyfriend and I were craving butter chicken like mad, so we decided to try here for the first time and it was AMAZING!!! It was so creamy and flavorful. He loved the spice kick his had and I asked for them to make it as mild as possible and it was perfect! I love how easy it was to order online, and it was done when we got there. The woman who got my food was very sweet. Definitely will be recommending this place to everyone!

So I was in the area and I decided to try this restaurant. For me, the staff were welcoming and pleasant. Based on the menu, I felt the prices were reasonable and the add-on of rice for two dollars is really quite incredible. I was a little worried that the rice might be a very small portion, but it was not. The flavours are amazing. You have choice in the heat of your dish, which is something that is nice, especially for families that have a variety of likes and preferences. The reason I gave four stars is, I do eat a lot of this cuisine and the flavours were wonderful and hands-down, as good as I ve had here, but the portion of the main ingredient to be it in my case chicken in one dish and paneer, and another were a bit scarce. Vegetarian options: There is a fair number of choices when it comes to vegetarian options, which is always a good thing to see Parking: There is plenty of parking

Second time ordering from here. Not sure what the deal is with the change in food quantity, just a few pieces of meat and the rest is all sauce, use to be able to share, but thats not the case any longer, rice was a cup size portion not a plate size like last time. Also the naan bread is diffrent just 2 barely sharable pieces. Flavour was nice but not worth the amount of food you get, if youre going to serve a minimal quantity then prices should reflect.

We had Chicken biriyani and Butter naan with chettinad chicken curry. It was so yummy and super tasty food

I can only comment on the food as I used a delivery service, but it was ALL excellent! I did do take out service another time and the service was also very good.

Amazing food order there butter chicken all of the time never fails to me smile!

Very delicious food . Also good atmosphere.

Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options clearly marked on the menu. Everything tasted great Food

Food quality and taste was very good. It will be great if they have dine in. Food

It is so honoured that to tryout a dish from Aviyal restaurant for celebrating Valentine s Day me and my wife ordered tandoori chicken from Aviyal and we request them to home delivery the things which I never expected was Mr.Sujith he him self delivered the food before the requested time it must appreciated from a customer point of view the food was so nice and overall we recommend to others Thank you Aviyal kitchen keep the same taste of food

visited Nova Scotia recently . Had Malabar chicken curry garlic naan and tandoori chicken . Highly recommended

This was my first visit to Aviyal Indian Kitchen and I was not disappointed. I hade the meat sampler and then the Lamb Vindaloo with a garlic naan. It was all top quality and well prepared. I went in to make my take-out order and the service was very friendly. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access.

Best food ever. Every dish is very unique and top notch.

Tasty food and good services,my personal favourite is their chicken Biriyani butter chicken and nan.

As soon as i walked through the door it was as if I had landed in food heaven. The aroma in the air was intoxicating. Clean waiting area and friendly server, Price was typical $20 included a small tip. Chicken biryani spice level met expectations. Worth a visit. Parking: lots of traffic coming and going. just be aware of your surroundings

Have ordered here multiple time over the last few months and everytime it was delicious. I highly recommend!

Great food. Enjoyed it very much. But the kind service was the highlight if the visit. Not much space to dine in, but will go again foe the food.

Disaster chicken biryani

Just tried for the first time tonight and it was delicious! Four stars because the butter chicken only came with 6 small pieces of chicken - I wish there was a bit more, the portions aren t comparable to other Indian restaurants in the city.

Food was tasty. We were from India, Kerala and we were able to taste a Kerala touch in the food taste. Felt nostalgic towards my country ( Kerala state food). And we loved the food and food service.

We ordered Naan and goat Biriyani along with Malabar chicken curry and chicken Chettinadu. Food was really awesome. We had to wait for 45 mins for the order to be processed. Everything was prepared afresh and given to us. It was worth the wait. We were also provided with vegetable samosas as a complement. Really a go to place for South Indian food lovers. Salt and spice level were perfect and we had a good lunch. Thanks to the team for the hospitality and very good preparation. We have been craving to have a good food in Halifax and this definitely meets our expectations. Worth to try and we will definitely come back and recommend this restaurant for food lovers.

Great take out. Super tasty.

Food was packed very neatly and taste was delicious . One of the thing we missed after moving from Brampton Ontario to Nova Scotia is the Indian food but not anymore. Avial is a great restaurant where we can go to have authentic Indian food.

Management is receptive to feedback and improvements and dont shy away from facing the customers. Food quality and quantity is good. Breads are of decent size better than other Indian restaurants in the city. Tandoori starters, appetizers are over priced, they could reach better audience with proper pricing. Main course, sides, Breads are priced well for a good standard quality and quantity. Very consistent with takeouts and presentation of the dishes. As of now overall 5/5. Atmosphere is 4, as they can buy a box of salt during winter and take care of their property, however I think they prefer to wait for the plough truck to salt it, so be careful near the entrance and parking lot. Safety of customers is important so please take the initiatives. Vegetarian options: Good quality Veg food Dietary restrictions: You can customize your orders Parking: No clear markings but plenty of space

The good food with the real taste flavours of kerala.I tried from here chicken biriyani it was Great in quality and for quantity. The behaviour and servicing of the staff members in the Aviyal indian kitchen was very polite and satisfactory. You can get good food with in adequate budjets.

Good food and good service . Had chicken biriyani and I felt which was one of the best in town.

Delicious food and friendly service. Will definitely be back!

The food is so amazing, definitely worth going has all the indian flavours in it.

Amazing experience with new india kitchen in the town....outstanding taste and wide variety of food options...excellent service and appreciable food quality.....Thanks Avial Indian Kitchen

Aviyal Indian Kitchen Vegetarian options: Yes Parking: Good Kid-friendliness: Yes

Have had a good food experience with quality of recipe with friendly atmosphere crew. If you are a crave rider don t miss it pin it on your bucket list. You love it.

Visited this newly opened restaurant today and cannot explain how delicious the food was. Great service with Indian taste. Our server for the day was Vishnavi and she made the overall experience even better. Must try it out :)

We ordered the chicken vindaloo and garlic naan bread. It was delicious. We ve tried a lot Indian restaurants and I can say this was some of the best we have had! We will be back again when in the area.

We bought 4 lamb biriyanis, and it was the best biriyani I ever had in the whole Nova Scotia. Keep up the good work

My Experience at Aviyal Restaurant was truly exceptional. The menu offered a delightful array of dishes. We ordered Chicken Biriyani, Murgh Shahi Korma and Butter Naan. To be frank it was very tasty and every bite was a culinary delight and am eagerly waiting to order more of their other dishes too Highly recommended.

Great Taste full of flavors, with reasonable priced menu. There are many options to choose from most of their menu is gluten free. I will definitely visit again.

Amazing food made by caring people. Delicious Indian food and the people were just so nice

Butter chicken with rice was amazing. Ill be getting food from here again!

Very good. Good taste and good quantity. . Keep it up...

The food was great. We had goat biryani and panneer thikka with naan. The lady at the reception was gracious and made us feel at home. Dont forget to try the Mango Lassi!

Hands down best Indian food Ive ever had! Generous portions and very kind staff. Highly recommend

Super excited an Indian resturant is closer by in sackville our food was very good not one complaint the mango Lassi was delicious and one of the owners was telling me that they get all of the spices delivered from India ..check this place out you will not be disappointed. Thanks again guys and Goodluck with business.welcome to our community

their food is awesome we were stoked that this place was opening and were so impressed with the quality of the food. the staff are awesome and are quite friendly and passionate about making sure their business succeeds.

lamb biryani was great

I recently visited the Aviyal restaurant and was truly impressed by the authenticity and flavours of the cuisine. The menu showcased a variety of traditional indian dishes, each bursting with rich and aromatic spices that captured the essence of Indian cuisine. The standout dish for me was the fragrant Butter chicken, perfectly balanced in flavours

Incredibly delicious, wholesome food. Will definitely return for more!

Food was absolutely awesome!! Excellent taste and every one enjoyed in my group and great customer service. We will back again.

Delicious food, great service, and great value:) well be back soon.

Wow this place is amazing. Its starts with the customer service of Aishu at the front and the chef in the kitchen Sujith and the rest of the staff We had butter chicken with rice and it will make your stomach want more. Best indian food around . Paul Parking: Lots of parking

I have ordered first time take away from Aviyal Indian Kitchen today. Usually we order butter chicken or butter paneer from any Indian restaurants for a change I have ordered Amchur Murg curry combo, Avial Chicken Sampler and tandoori roti. The food and taste is excellent. I will blindly recommend anyone to have their dishes ordered. I am looking forward to ordering from here again soon!

Absolutely phenomenal service! This place is takeout only, but wed just arrived from our flight and didnt have a place to eat, so the owner was kind enough to set us up with a table and chairs and some paper plates! Also gave us plenty of advice for places to see! Food wise the naan was some of the best Ive had and the curries were really good! Would highly recommend visiting if youre in the area :)

delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, adequate quantity, reasonable price, I recommend to everyone! I would like to come back here again and again... and thanks to everyone behind this, for giving an opportunity to experience the taste of India....

Briyani is just wow !! I was part of our old friends get together around 70 people . One of our friend suggested aviyal. They didn t disappointed us great quality . Chicken portion is topnotch. Rice is well cooked . More over reasonable price for a big catering . Thank you team aviyal for great work. Keep it up

I went in and I got greeted by a very nice worker and the food was cheap compared to other places and when I got the food I couldnt handle the spice and the young women working at the cash register got me some ice cream free of charge and she also opened the door for me because of how hot it was she was very sweet and the food was very good definitely recommend

This place was an excellent find when traveling thorough the area. The food is outstanding. We have had curries all over the world. This guys the mark. The owners are friendly and helpful.

Ordered for the first time today and I think this might be my new favourite restaurant. You KNOW it s good food when you re still thinking about it hours later. I tried 3 different dishes and the garlic naan and I don t think I could pick a favourite if you asked me to. Everything was so flavourful and aromatic that you could taste the layers in every bite. The chicken dishes were very tender and had great portions. I love that Sackville has a place like this now and I definitely will be making myself a regular customer!

Love the food here! So glad they opened in Lower Sackville! One of my new favourites!!!

We order Butter Nan , Tandoori Chicken , chicken biriyani and Malabar Chicken curry. The food was awesome. Specially the customer service everything was awesome. Even though it was a take out the food was hot and was tasting fresh . Giving a 5 star because they deserve it. Hats offf team Aviyal

Incredible food! Everything had so much flavour! Can t wait to order again.

Whenever you get a chance go and grab a Malabar chicken curry from Aviyal. I had it today for dinner . It was flavourful ,good spicy and good quantity too.

We had a veggie dish and a lamb dish, it was out of this world, the lady on the counter was very nice. Id defo go again 9.9/10

We had a great experience in Aviyal Kitchen. Food was very delicious. I would definitely recommend Aviyal Kitchen to those looking for authentic Indian flavours. We ordered biryani, kebabs, naan, chicken makhani and mango lassi. Quality and freshness of the ingredients they are using is really appreciable. Tenderness of the meat and authentic flavor of Indian spices made the dishes delicious. Even though it was a takeout food was packed very well and freshness lasted for long. Moreover I loved the way they treating customers. Kudos to the team for your efforts and wishing you all the very best for establishing to a fine dining restaurant.

Really enjoyed all of our dishes good flavour. Good quality food. Rarely order a chicken biriyani but it was great. Coming from the UK this had certain dishes wed be used to seeing there and it met expectations. While theres a few tables to eat in its more a take out place. The staff were all friendly and it was bang on time. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options and they were all tasty. Very good Naan.

Last night we ordered Butter paneer Masala on uber and it was super delicious . We will come soon for dining too.

We tried this restaurant recently for takeout and everything about the experience was great, so delicious! Highly recommend. We called to order and the person on the phone was super nice; they made suggestions and verified our order. It was ready within 25 minutes. Very quick! Taste was perfect. I do not tolerate overly spicy food so it was made mild like I requested. I had previously never found a restaurant with Indian Cuisine able to accommodate mild, or even medium. We ordered quite a few dishes to try a variety of items, everyone enjoyed it all. So much flavour! The only downside is that it would be a really awkward spot to dine-in as there was only one small table. It seems like 4-5 tables could fit in the space. We live close by so will personally always have takeout. Can t wait to try it again!

To be very clear: this place is NOT a sit-down restaurant. They have only two small tables, no bathroom, paper plates, and plastic spoons. It seems to be pretty much takeout only. That being said: the food was quite good. I had the goat rogan josh which was flavourful and tasty. I asked for medium spicy and I found it to be mild, but thats okay. There seems to be a lot of things on their menu that I havent found at other Indian restaurants. Ill likely be back, and, next time, Ill get my food to go. Vegetarian options: Lots of veg options Dietary restrictions: Lots of things were clearly labeled GF or DF or both Parking: Less than 10 spots, but its takeout, so, not a big deal. Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level, no steps

We havent dined here but the reason I am writing this is simply to let you know there are only 2 smallish plastic tables and I wouldnt fancy eating in here. Dont plan for a nice sit-down meal. But I have heard its incredible for takeout and you can easily take your food to the Ol Biddys pub next door where they have tables and beer!

Amazing food! Their goat curry was exceptional and that tamarind chutney was so well done. I will be ordering here again sooner rather than later! Vegetarian options: They have a whole vegetarian section on their menu.

Staff were very welcoming and goood foood!!

My family loves Indian food and when Aviyal opened up, we were curious. Simply put - some of the best food we have had in HRM. This simple takeout setup hides absolute gems! The chicken vindaloo and tandoori was so flavourful and rich - we ordered extra spicy. Aviyal didn t disappoint. The staff are so warm and friendly - we really hope to support this local treasure and hope Aviyal is here to stay - they deserve it. Thanks for the great meal we will be back!

The food at Aviyal was absolutely delicious and the staffs were so friendly. Special thanks to Chef Sujith Sathyan. We all enjoyed the delicious food with family specially the Murgh shahi korma and Rogan Josh with Garlic naan.

I highly recommend this restaurant for everyone who was eagerly waiting to experience the taste of indian foods. It s finger licking good

Food was so flavourful and tasty. Service was very good and friendly!

So glad I finally go to try it here I wasnt disappointed at all food an service was amazing, will definitely be back and hopefully onion bajjis will be on the menu too

The food they serve is so tasty and healthy.Overall great ambience while inside the restaurant and enjoyed the time staying

Lower Sackville is lucky to have this addition to our community! Delicious, delicious, DELICIOUS food. Everyone there is so friendly and welcoming. Do something nice for yourself and your loved ones and go see these folks!

Chose milder options since it was the first time ordering from here; everything was delicious, but will amp up the spice level next time! Could be more generous with the amount of chicken in each dish, but understand with todays prices.

The tandoori chicken was so good the food is really good portion and delicious. Must try.

The butter chicken is the best I ve ever had and the staff are very friendly!

Must try Goat Biriani. Delicious

Tried it for the first time tonight - absolutely delicious takeout Indian food. My husband says the best saag paneer he has had in Halifax.

After reading the stellar reviews here I decided to try them out. Amazing authentic Indian food. And the staff is amazing and friendly. Only take out but give them a try. You wont be disappointed. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options to choose from.

Great food and service. Chicken Biriyani was delicious, loved it . Food

I am not sure why this place has such a high rating. I ordered paneer pakora which were burnt with a very weird taste. Garlic naan was decent but saag paneer was like soup with a watery gravy and very terrible taste. I think reviews might reflect non vegetarian food but unfortunately I would not recommend vegetarian dishes.

We tried their chicken Vindaloo Although the food was good, it wasnt worth it because the quantity of curry was significantly less than at some other Indian eateries.

Nice food and excellent customer service by sandra and vaishnavi

Really good food. Fresh made. Give them a try. Well worth it!! Their dishes are very tasty and their naan bread is great! Great portion sizes. Vegetarian options: They ve got a good selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes.

Today I had an opportunity to try out my favorite dish from near by restaurant serving indian cusine. it kind of made me remember my moms food. Thanks to aviyal Food : 5/5

Biriyani! Biriyani! Biriyani! The best Ive had in a few years after moving to Canada. The portions are good too. Tandoori chicken was also very good. The meat was very soft and juicy. Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie options for main course and sides. Parking: Its next to the convenience store. Opposite to Nova Scotia works. Lots of parking space and not busy. Kid-friendliness: Spice levels are customised so can have very little spice for sensitive kids Wheelchair accessibility: The shop floor is the same level as the parking so wheelchairs should be easily accessible.

Had the Malabar Chicken, Tamarind Rice and Garlic Naan. The naan was as good as I ve had anywhere (Middle East, UK etc). The rice was really good as well although I couldn t discern a strong tamarind flavor. I ve never had anything quite like the Chicken Malabar before - very good and can t wait to try more on the menu. Went again end September, tried the Chicken Chettinad, Aloo Ghobi, Daal Makhani Shrimp Chicken Tikka Masala & Chicken Tikka Masala. Chettinad, Alooo Ghobi & Daal Makhani were absolutely excellent. The tikka masala sauces were a bit of a let down - a flavor that reminded me of tomato soup and there were only 4 shrimp in the shrimp dish.

I have ordered a chicken biryani online last weekend thinking that I m going to get some authentic and delicious food. However, when I got actual biryani, it was white boiled rice along with some pieces of chicken. It didn t taste like biryani at all.

We got our order to go and it was incredible!! The price was very reasonable too So hot and fresh and the taste was AMAZING. This is our new favourite hands down - thank you Vegetarian options: My daughter is vegetarian and she loved her order!

I just recently relocated to Halifax after living in Toronto. Finding a restaurant in Nova Scotia that serves biriyani was really difficult for me. I eventually arrived at Aviyal Indian Kitchen. The biriyani was also excellent. I loved food a much. I also told my friends about this location. This restaurant will undoubtedly become my favourite for biriyani, I swear.

One of the best biriyani which i had in Halifax.

I came to Nova Scotia just couple of weeks ago and I was searching for a good Indian restaurant to get an authentic Mutton Biriyani with all Indian spices in it. Fortunately, my friend suggest me Aviyal and I ordered a mutton biriyani from there. To be frank, it was one of the best mutton biriyani I ate from here.

Tried the biriyani there and the food was truly great.

I enjoyed one of Halifaxs best biriyanis here.

These guys cook and serves best Indian food in HRM

Great Indian take out! Amazing food and the staff are very knowledgeable about dietary restrictions.

Top notch Chicken biryani. Authentic & perfectly spiced. Will definitely be back. Thanks guys.

Amazing food and good portion sizes! Had the butter chicken with garlic/regular naan and I will be back to try more.

We had two vegan dishes and they were delicious. Great spice level of medium allowed us to taste the food and also have a nice hint of heat. Generous portions and the lovely staff at the counter was very nice. We will be back thank you Dietary restrictions: We ordered two vegan dishes that were also gf though they were not specified as such on the menu. We understood what ingredients were in the dishes

Very tasty butter chicken and garlic naan! Good size portions and good spice level for the medium spice

I really loved my experience in Aviyal Restaurant, they are awesome. I ordered Sali Boti and 2 Butter Naan last day and to be frank iam in love with their dishes as well as the customer service. I believe customer service is a main part of every business and they really doing a great job and i must thank the Chef who cooked these kind of delicious food for people, the quality and quantity is excellent.

Great food and awesome staff!

Both the veg and non-veg options were amazing!! And super friendly service. Will definitely be back! Vegetarian options: Vegan options too!

Visited this gem on Sackville Road and was thoroughly impressed! The food is authentically delicious, capturing the rich flavors of India with every bite. What sets them apart is their warm and friendly staff, ensuring a memorable dining experience. Highly recommend!

Best Indian food I ve ever had!!! Their butter chicken and naan is crazy good!

I ordered Dal Tadka and Vegetable Biryani, and it was absolutely delicious.

Ordered chicken biriyani and malabar chicken curry, it tasted so bad, the chicken was not even cooked properly, and the biriyani masala taste the same as the chicken curry, never gonna order from here again

Samosa chaat was not good and instead of paneer pakoda there were mix pakoda. Very disappointing

I Like The Service Sooo Much, Everything Is So Neat and Clean with Peaceful Environment. The Food Is Finger Licking

Its my first time I go there with my friend to eat indian cuisine. Seriously what a amicable staff and the service they give is extraordinary.I ordered muttar panned with naan and rice pudding. The price is reasonable and food quality is finger lickin

Really really great tasting food! We loved it! They took extra care with making sure it was celiac safe/gluten free for me. I will definitely be back!

Great food and service

I ordered the goat Briyani and it was so delicious. Beautifully spiced and tender. Vegetarian options: Aloo golbi was amazing. Medium spicy

Great quality food with affordable rate too! Totally recommended

One of the best lamb Biriyani I ever had. The customer service was amazing and very reasonable pricing as well.

Wife and I shared three dishes and got two suppers out of them. 10/10 would recommend. Best Indian food around.

Fantastic vindaloo, my new favorite in town and always great value!

For those who wish to have Indian food,I highly recommend this Indian restaurant and its a must go place.Their cust service is amazing!!! I tried their Lamb biriyani, garlic naan, butter chickn and the mango lessi...trust me no words to explain the taste, quality and quantity of these dishes....

I ordered chicken biriyani from this restaurant and it was delicious. An excellent customer service with friendly staff add-on to the experience here. Only the take-out option is available right now, but I would say its worth the price.

Tried their Murgh Shahi Kurma and Garlic Nan. Great and consistent taste every time.

We ordered take-out tonight and it was AMAZING! Butter chicken and naan bread was delicious. Definitely ordering again!

I was out there hungry and I wanted to eat spicy Biriyani I walked into this restaurant and asked if they would serve one very spicy , and trust me within 10 minutes I was served with the best biriyani I had eaten in Nova Scotia . Amazing Service and amazing taste . Must try place !!!!!

Being from the UK were always trying out Indian restaurants and this one is the best so far!! We had a take-out and the food was still hot when we got home. Naan breads were perfect and the level of spices were just right for each of the dishes - Biriyani, Tikka Masala and Malabar were just great. Going to be a regular!

I ordered lamb biriyani for small party. Its tasty

We have been ordering from this place on weekly basis, however, we have noticed that their food quality started dropping down. I hope they get that fixed, and bring the same quality and portions back to their first days. The curries are more watery now, and the goat dishes have barley any meat, all bones, like straight up bones with 0.5% meat. The quantity of the chicken in the cury dishes or byriany is not enough comparing to other Indian restaurants in the city. One thing I really love and cant find it anywhere is the Kashmiri rice, still over priced for just plain rice. The chicken tandoori is good here too. Its easy to start, but hard to keep it up. And I am sure they will be able to fix those issues and continue with the same quality and quantity they used to be. In general, great service and very welcoming.

The food was really good and the people were really nice too. If crave good Indian food you should definitely try the food here!

The food is amazing. They have a Garlic, rosemary Naan bread thats to die for. Tried the shrimp korma and the butter chicken both were incredible. Going back to try more. Food

This was our first time getting take out from here, recommended to us from a friend, food was absolutely amazing! I don t think I ve had better tasting food, quality was superb. Quantity could have been a little more but as a family of 4 with two little ones who don t eat much, it was perfect for us. We ordered butter chicken, paneer butter masala, garlic naan and aloo gobi. We definitely will be ordering here again!

Aviyal is a refreshing new dining option for Sackville and its surrounding areas. The menu has reliable Indian favourites as well some great dishes we have not seen on some of the other HRM menus. We have been ordering almost weekly since they opened. The dishes have all been amazing, especially the Dal Saag. The orders are always ready for pick at the time expected, and the staff is super friendly and appreciative. Big fans. Love having Aviyal be part of this community.

These guys deserves an excellent review and five stars for their delicious paneer butter masala and garlic naan and their service is tremendous i was late to pick up my order and they were about to close but it was so nice of them to arrange a pick up for me next door at jessys Thank you for the food and your great service. 10/10

I would definitely recommend this restaurant, you should must try their garlic naans. They make it fresh and delicious.
