He suggested the Tikka Masala Chicken for my meal and it was bursting with flavours, perfect heat and delicious. The samosas were by far the best I have had, the filling was bursting at seams and extremely well portioned and for a great price. Naan was crispy and chewy and perfect cooked! Their entire menu is extremely well priced, which was a pleasant surprise. The next visit will be happening sooner rather than later

You get your money's worth at this place. Also, I appreciated that our food came out piping hot and continued to stay hot throughout the course of our meal.

Lol. 10/10 would come back if we were in the area again. *Hard to see off the main street but follow the signs by the stairs and you should find your way.

It was decent, providing a mild and edible baseline, but nothing memorable. * **Kadhai Paneer:** Marketed as a house specialty, yet it completely missed the mark. The dish was a total mess featuring an overly rich, heavy-handed gravy that swallowed any authentic flavor, completely missing the signature crisp bell peppers that define the dish. * **Baingan Bharta:** Suffered from an identity crisis, containing far too many peas rather than focusing on the smoky roasted eggplant base. * **Naans:** Dense, rubbery, and a sorry excuse for traditional Indian flatbread. Save your appetite and skip this restaurant entirely.

We wanted to try some Indian food while in Victoria. We love the spices and found Sizzling Tandoor…read moreon Yelp. Mostly five star reviews so we decided to give it a go. We had a high bar because we had just gone to an Indian restaurant in Chicago that was over the top good. Sizzling Tandoor met that bar. It was just as good as Chicago. Many reviews mentioned the Rogan Josh Lamb so we ordered that and balanced it off with Chicken Tikka Masala. We each ate half of each entree. A side of plain Naan completed the meal. We like hot food and we're going to order hot, but our server, Muskan, convinced us to get medium hot. It was perfect. Muskan was attentive but didn't hover. She engaged us in a nice convo after our meal and was very pleasant. The most difficult part was deciding which we liked better. The lamb won, but only by a small margin. Both were excellent.

My wife ordered chicken biryani and I order the chicken vindaloo extra hot! They were both so so so dang good. I finished my entire dish and have no regrets. Lol!

The hosts recommended it and we made a date night of it. Mango lassi was delicious and the Kingfisher beer hit the spot, too. Then we were ready for the meal.

Ambiance overdelivered. I'm sorry we're leaving town tomorrow, or I'd be tempted to check out the lunch buffet. On the next visit, I'll be back.

Asked the server for recommendations and settled on tandoor chicken. It came out sizzling and was delicious! Especially enjoyed the nice mint sauce for it too. My son really enjoyed his chicken curry too. We also had some naan bread - nicely made with garlic and basil. My son opted for the take out samosa which was nicely mixed and full of flavour and came with a nice sweeter sauce. We finished the meal with rice pudding and a chai tea. Definitely plan to return. It is so nice that they have mild, (truly mild!!!), medium and hot for those far braver than me! (My son had medium ). Thank you for a cozy meal!

Nice little Indian eatery in the heart of downtown Victoria. The restaurant serves both vegetarian…read moreand non-vegetarian dishes. There is street parking available. The restaurant is tastefully decorated. Excellent design and comfortable sitting. We ordered the vegetable samosa. It was amazing as was the chutney. We also had some Amritsari Kulcha. The Kulcha was not quite as tender as expected, but it had been overcooked, and the Chana (chickpeas) had not been properly cooked, since they nevertheless remained tough. We would, however, give this restaurant another shot. The service could also be improved. There was only one waitress that were looking after three other tables. Great ambiance as they played some Indian Bollywood songs on tv, which was enjoyable. If I had to select one drawback, it would be that the restrooms require some attention, and that they be kept clean because they were unclean!

The food here is great! The dosas were lovely. Dosas are like thick crepes made from chickpea flour so it's great for gluten free people. We had the South India combo and the butter chicken dosa. Both were very nice. We also ordered the beef madras which was my favorite. I like a good curry and the ladder was very nice and not too hot at a medium spice level. We also had sukka coffee with a nice ginger flavor and tasted like a wee bit of sugar in it. My friend, fancies it and it was delicious. We had asked for that to come out before dinner and it came out about halfway through. But that takes a while to make and better ill-timed coffee than cold food. The food as it was was delicious and piping hot. The staff here is very sweet and helpful. Very kind with explanations of the meals and Indian geography and history. We got a little lesson, which we both loved. I would absolutely return to Dosa Paragon!
