Haven't had Indian food in ages so dropped in for dinner tonight with friends…read more I knew we were in the right place when I noticed we were the only non East Asians in the place. Service was great, knowledgeable and quick. Started with a beer then ordered jeera rice (super fluffy), coconut curry chicken, prawn vindaloo, butter chicken, naan, lamb rosha, and aloo gobi of course. Every thing was excellent. Very flavourful with just the right amount of spices. Loved it. Will definitely be back our next trip to Halifax.

I had to get up to ask to place my order to the person in front on the phone taking an order. Food came out and looked good with nice sized portions. Meat was tender but I wish the curry had more depth of flavor. Tasted a bit watered down. Naan was soft and a nice size. Service was more attentive after that. Wish I lived it, but can report it was ok. I appreciate the hard work behind a business and hope for the best.

With multiple international franchises, we relentlessly scour the globe in pursuit of the crispiest papadums, the tastiest sauces and spiciest curries.On June 17th, 2022 the OCC Nova Scotia reviewed Red Chillies as part of our hunt for the CHOTY (Curry House Of The Year) and in search of the fourth OCC approved curry house in Canada. Members vote anonymously on 5 categories - and an average score is given to each restaurant we review. For Red Chillies: Quality - 7.6/10 Service - 8.0/ 10 Value - 7.9/10 Customer Care - 7.6/10 Atmosphere - 7.0/10 With an average score of 7.6 Red Chilies makes the grade as OCC approved! After a quick change of venue due to a lack of Kingfisher, Red Chillies welcomed us with open arms. the atmosphere was what you would expect from an OCC approved Curry house. promptly greeted and seated, even the owner took time to chat with us before we feasted upon the mostly authentic dishes at hand. Excited to fill our bellies and warm our souls, the wait staff recommended many dishes including a bit of a host specialty. Starting with a Soya Chaap Tikka, Kerala Paratha (and of course crispy poppadoms), a creamy at delectable specialty served by Red Chillies and a common Indian Street food fantastically done. It was followed by beautifully cooked naan with a peshwari flavour, which was a real game changer. This was followed by paneer tikka, lamb vindaloo, shrimp biryani and a beautifully spicy butter chicken. The favorites among the group must be stated as the shrimp biryani and butter chicken offered something that the group had not experienced at other Curry houses in Nova Scotia. While sometimes left to our own devices, the Kingfisher was readily available throughout the evening to compliment the beautiful space of these mostly authentic Indian dishes. Red Chillies became the 2nd Curry house to be reviewed to not run out of Kingfisher throughout the evening! The value in overall customer care is what you one would expect from an OCC approved Curry house, consistent atmosphere and quality that will not leave you disappointed. We have faith that moving forward Red Chillies will put up a fight for CHOTY (Curry House of the Year) and takes the top spot in the Bedford area for the time being. In summary, we are pleased to make Red Chillies the 4th OCC approved Curry house in Nova Scotia and in Canada. Expectations were met and we would certainly recommend Red Chillies to anyone in and around Bedford looking for and authentic Indian Curry experience

It's been in operation for a couple of years and I've been meaning to give it a try for a while…read more Located in a small plaza at Mill Cove, it's a plain space, cheered up with a splendid print of a jungle river on one wall. Small bar at the end, maybe 40 covers, it's not much to look at, but that is often a good thing. As is the fact well over half the patrons were Indian/Pakistani on the evening I was there. I went for the Rogan Josh, aloo ghobi and a splendid Peshwari naan, plus garlic rice and a Kingfisher. The curry was properly spicy and nicely bitter. The ghobi was good and the rice not at all bad. Portions are generous, with plenty to take away for tomorrow's breakfast! Bill came in at a little over $50, which might be on the high side, but for what amounts to two whole meals, not too bad. All in all, an authentic curry house and a nice addition to the growing choice in Halifax. Recommended.

NEW OBSESSION. This…read moreis located on the basement floor of spring garden place and I had no idea it existed until today. This place has a diverse menu beyond your typical butter chicken and rice (although they have those too). They have dosa, different chicken dishes every day and 2 vegetable curries as well.. they also have butter chicken poutine! I initially wanted to get a combo plate of chicken and veggie curries, the gentleman at the counter gave me a sample of the sauce on the chicken and it was awesome.. but I saw masala dosa on the menu and opted for that instead.. and then at the last minute decided to get the combo plate too. I also got an Indian bread pudding. The dosa was awesome. He added something spicy to it at my request and it was perfectly spiced and the outside crepe was so crispy, and the portion was HUGE, I had enough for supper, I ate about half. It came with what I think is a coconut chutney and I think daal. The chicken curry was AMAZING. It was just insanely flavorful and heavily seasoned but not spicy If that makes sense. The veggie curry was a Matar paneer and was a bit spicy but also super flavorful. The bread pudding was interesting as well, it had a cardamom cream sauce and nuts in it. Very sweet but very tasty. The service here is also great. They were super friendly despite being quite busy! I can't wait to come back and try some of the other dishes!

I've had takeout two or three times and found the food to be first rate, but recently I dined in for the first time with the wife and a friend from UK. It's a small space, fairly plain, but comfortable enough. The food is mainly prepared at the main restaurant as I understand, with finishing touches applied here. The menu isn't as extensive, but any curry fan will find all they need and there are even some surprises, particularly in the breads. It was Saturday evening and two of the other tables were occupied, and I've noticed before that a lot of their customers are of Indian/Pakistani heritage, which is always encouraging. I went for the beef vindaloo, which was well spiced and nicely bitter. The others tried the chicken tikka masala and reported full satisfaction. We also had the aloo ghobi, dall, rice and a quite superb, huge naan. The poppadom to start were also excellent. Crispy, warm and tasty. All in all, exactly what we needed and there was enough left over to feed the two of us the following night! Price was just fine, especially given how much food you get. Will definitely be back.

My first visit to the main restaurant in a fair old while, having been frequenting their offshoot…read morein Bedford recently when the curry craving hits. It's larger than it was first time I visited, but still in the little strip mall off Chain Lake Drive. There are two rooms either side of the entrance, both cool, subtly lit and cozy. It was just after they opened on a summer's Thursday morning, so I was the first customer and quickly ordered the meat thali. This comes in six segments. Two meat curries which change from time to time (today it was beef and chicken). A very nice dahl, a good portion of rice, chickpea salad and a quartered plain naan. All very tasty and overall quite a sizeable portion. I was on the ravenous side of peckish when I arrived and left thoroughly stuffed, so you definitely get your value for the $23 with tip. It's not licensed, but has a nice line in cold drinks should you so desire. It's no surprise this place is consistently voted No.1 curry house in Halifax, though it has a lot more competition than it did when it first opened. Thoroughly recommended.

Tawa is a Nepalese Indian restaurant with an extensive menu of Indian and Hakka specialities. And…read moresince it's located in Halifax, many traditional dishes include seafood such as the chili fish ($16.50). Flakey tender pieces of cod were tossed in a sauce that had just enough heat to salivate the tongue without scorching. Arriving piping hot, the fragrant ginger, garlic, green onions, bell pepper, and chilis combine into a wonderful sauce covering the still crispy fish. You'll need an order of plain basmati rice ($5) to balance off the dish's saltiness. For diners who love saucy dishes, the creamy tomato-based curry in the kaida chicken ($16.50) is lovely for slathering on rice or dipping naan into. Of all the dishes, it held the least heat but still incorporated enough spices for flavour. There were generous chunks of chicken steeped in the gravy, but I would have liked dark meat better as the chicken breast was a little tough. Tawa's shrimp biryani ($17.99) was huge and while the shrimp were overcooked the rice was moist and flavourful. I couldn't get enough of the dish and had bowl after bowl despite being stuffed. You will not leave hungry. Even their naan ($3; two orders in picture) was sizeable and seemed like it was coming from a never-ending basket. Do yourself a favour and start with one then add on as needed.

The place is small and is located inside of a mall so it was a bit annoying to find. I had never had Indian food before and I always wanted to try it. We got to the place and he helped me order since I didn't really know what things were. I went with a butter chicken poutine and he ordered some garlic naan as well. I don't do well with spicy food and they said they could only do medium cause it was already marinated in the sauce so I decided to try it. The spice was actually not horrible and I could handle it. The naan helped a lot. I would much rather something less spicy but medium was the lowest they had for all the food. That's why I took off one star. The flavor was very different but not bad. I don't think I would ever order it again tho. I might go back if I'm ever there again to try something else but who knows. It was good so I give it 4 stars.
