I tried calling for a pick up order, first time person who received the call immediately disconnected the call without giving me an opportunity to speak. But on second time, I was able to order my food (around 7.15 PM) and had been told that order will be ready by 8:00 PM. Considering their busy hours and finding parking can sometimes be a problem, I reached there at 8:30 PM. To my surprise, the person at the counter was first clueless about my order and then asked me to wait for another 15-20 minutes (making order time approx. 1 hour 45 mins). We had never tasted Malayalam food before and ordered Vishu Sadhya thali to get taste of the traditional Malayalam food. As this was our first time trying it, not sure how authentic it was. But I food was good and I especially liked combination of pappu and rice. Thali was full of variety of food items and was enough for 2 moderate eaters. Overall, I was satisfied with food but service could have been better (I would like to give them benefit of doubt due to their busy hours considering it was Malayalam festive day).

Went in on a Monday for lunch. Asked the server is dine in open. She said yes. Sat on one of the tables. She gave us the menu. I asked her if I need to show my vaccine and she was like okay! So we read the menus, seems like they have good amount of options. Ordered a plain dosa, paneer dosa and paneer 65. Paneer 65 came out in like 15 minutes. It was literally coated and fried and served with a sweet chutney. Not sure how that works and did not enjoy it at all. (Also, I had to ask the server if we would be getting some cutlery). Then came the dosa with sambhar and some yellow chutney. Plain dosa was super thick and sambhar was bland. Literally the worst I’ve ever had. Okay, then tried the yellow chutney which was not bad. The server never came to ask how the food was. Then I had to ask one of the cooks(who was out of the kitchen) to come and told him that I won’t be able to eat this dosa since it’s not edible. The cook said they would not be charging me for the dosa. Assuming it was a South Indian restaurant, we ordered dosa and it was just a disappointment. One of the pictures shows how much food we gave back. Anyway, I ordered a kerela chicken biryani to see if atleast that’s good. Paid the bill at the counter and left. Came home, heated the Biryani and had the raita first which was pretty delicious given how other food tastes from the restaurant. Tried the Biryani expecting it might be spicy. It was literally sweet. And the masala from it have a little spice for the after taste but still very disappointed. This is literally the worst dine in experience I’ve ever had in Canada and I do not go complaining( you can see my other reviews). But where it has to be said, it has to be said. WORST SERVICE EVERY. I’ve never seen a server so negligent and uninterested ever. Would never return.

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING PLEASE READ BEFORE GOING THERE: I had ordered masala dosa, little did I know I would be having burnt potato rubber dosa! I went there as I was really craving masala dosa and my favourite restaurant was already full, I thought of trying this restaurant. Firstly they brought the dosa for me, It was very very thick and chewy, my jaws started hurting by the end of the meal. Secondly, the potato they got with the dosa was cold, even cooler than room temperature as if they got this from the fridge. I called the waitress and told her the potato was super cold, she hesitated and said OK, um um um I will take that, she took that, and GUESS WHAT!! AFTER 5 MINS SHE BROUGHT BE BACK BURNT POTATO!! It is not her fault it is clearly the chef. I did not know till I ate half of the potato masala. Like shown in the photo I found those brown hard pieces in the potato. I literally felt like throwing up at that point. HAVE you ever heard of a restaurant serving you cold food and taking it back and serving the same food heated in a microwave? Even the Sambar was so thick with only visible pumpkin pieces, it was disgusting. That's that. Thirdly, my father and mother are both executive chefs, I know the tastes of almost every cuisine. I have tried every single Indian restaurant in Halifax and by far this is the worst experience I had. The restaurant has no source of music, no TV poor decor and poor staff. Horrible, horrible, I cannot explain. I have tried chicken pakoda, it seemed tasteless too, their mango lassi was weird as well. If you want to enjoy your meal with good atmosphere and fulfil your tummy with good food, DO NOT GO HERE. That's all.

Update 2023: They refused to allow us to sit at 10:30 pm. The server told us that we could order online and it'll be ready in 30 minutes. We ordered on Uber for pickup, the initial time was 11:10 pm. They then all of a sudden changed our time to 11:40. I went inside to ask if they can make it ready earlier but they refused. They also said they cannot cancel the order despite wasting my time. I had to ask Uber to cancel it. I waited 40 minutes and left hungry. All other restaurants closed by that time. I had to eat poutine. Do not recommend this place to anyone. Please avoid. It took a forever to receive the order. I waited around 1.25 hrs for the order to be ready. Ordered at 6 pm, told it will be ready by 6:30 pm, reached there at 6:40 and had to wait another 30 minutes as it was not ready until 7:10 pm. The chicken dosa was okay, I've had better in Halifax. The chicken 65 was not good at all. The dum biryani had poor quality rice and hardly any taste. I really don't understand what people like about the biryani.

Guess what i ordered kadhai paneer and tandoori naans from this restaurant. And i am amazed what i have got. A totally disgusting kadhai paneer i have ever eaten in my life. Like are you guys serious? You guys are giving kadhai paneer in makhni sauce with some bell peppers in that. Also, the naans were rotten. Not well cooked. Please look after your kitchen staff. Hire some good chefs rather than hiring some students. I’m also from kitchen background but this is disrespectful and disgusting. I hope the management will look after it. If you have some trouble with recipes or something then please do let me know while replying to my review. I will be more than happy to help you guys with the correct recipe rather than giving something wrong to customers.

This is the best chicken tandoori I’ve ever had! Our favorite indian restaurant in Halifax. My husband and I are regular customers and we come here at least once a month. We always buy chicken tandoori, garlic naan and chicken biryani. They have big serving size which is good for 2 people. Great food and great people!
