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.

Anyway, the pakoras were ok. Butter chicken was very oily. Yes, oily, not butter oil, just oily. (Look at the picture). The best part of the meal is the rice. But even that's not good. It has a nice color to it though. Food is pretty mediocre. I'd come back for a quick takeout but i'd go to other places if I actually want a real, good indian food.

The Oakham Curry Club (OCC) is one of the world's most respected reviewers of Indian cuisine. With…read moremultiple international franchises, we relentlessly scour the globe in pursuit of the crispiest papadums, the tastiest sauces and spiciest curries. On April 22nd, 2022 the OCC Nova Scotia reviewed Mirchi Tandoor as part of our hunt for the CHOTY (Curry House Of The Year) and in search of the third OCC approved curry house in Canada. Members vote anonymously on 5 categories - and an average score is given to each restaurant we review. For Mirchi Tandoor: Quality - 8.5/10 Service - 9.0/ 10 Value - 7.8/10 Customer Care - 9.4/10 Atmosphere - 8.6/10 With an average score of 8.6 (our highest rated curry house so far!) Mirchi Tandoor is OCC approved! Delivering strongly on both quality and atmosphere, Mirchi Tandoor truly put itself in a class of its own by treating OCC members in attendance to the highest level of service and customer care. The OCC membership would agree with Mirchi Tandoor's own description of its staff as "attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly" and that those who choose to dine with them are most certainly "in good hands". Having enjoyed a variety of tasty curries including butter chicken (both mild and Indian spicy), shrimp vindaloo, lamb madras, and dal makhani, the made in-house from scratch tandoor baked naan (3 kinds - butter, garlic, and chili - as is OCC custom) was exceptional and truly brought the meal together. Waitstaff was eager, enthusiastic, very friendly, made sound recommendations, and ensured the cold Kingfisher kept flowing with plenty. Of note, Mirchi Tandoor is the first OCC NS reviewed curry house to not run out of ice cold Kingfisher for the duration of the meet. The ever fragrant atmosphere appropriately complemented the cuisine as the walls were adorned with multiple TVs showcasing Bollywood hits / music videos, along with the use of traditional place settings and serving dishes. In summary, we are pleased to make Mirchi Tandoor the third OCC approved curry house in Nova Scotia and in Canada. We had a most delightful dining experience and would certainly recommend Mirchi Tandoor to anyone in the mood for exceptional customer service and an authentic Indian curry. - OCC Date of visit: April 2022

We went to Mirchi Tandoor on a busy Saturday night, following a tip from a bartender at one of the…read morelocal breweries. That tip turned out to be pure gold! The place was very busy around 8PM, but we got a table right away. The first thing that gave us a great feel was the fact that we were two of the only four white patrons in the entire dining room. I knew we were in for a treat. The staff was fantastic, quickly bringing water to our table and checking to see if we were ready to order. We eat a lot of Indian food, and I've got a lot of Indian friends from many years working in software roles. So, we do tend to be a little jaded on the quality of Indian restaurants. I did see a few dishes and breads we don't typically see at home in our favorite Indian places. My wife has a tendency to order the same dish when we go out for Indian every time, and I have a tendency to want to try different things. I was able to convince her to try the Murg Lawabdar (chicken) entree. I have to say, that may really be the best single Indian dish I've ever had. It was probably smart for us to tell our waitress "medium" when she asked what spice level we wanted. Medium at Mirchi is pretty darn hot and spicy, but by no means unbearable like a Vindaloo can get to. Murg Lawabdar was like a thick curry gravy, with tons of spices and a good heat level. I think using chicken thigh brings even more flavor to the dish, which also includes green pepper, chilis, and a good bit of onion. We split one order of this, and we couldn't even finish the whole thing. Trust me, we tried. I couldn't stop eating, it was so good. We also got the spicy chili garlic roti bread. Oddly enough, not many of our Indian restaurants around home offer roti. Almost all of them offer naan, though. The funny thing about this roti was that it was also spicy, sprinkled with red chili pepper flakes. So, when you tried to cool the fire from the Murg Lawabdar with the bread, it just got hotter! So, make sure you order some raita to go along with your meal. That goes a long way toward cooling you off if you reach the five-alarm fire level with a spicy dish. This place has very low-key cool vibe in a relatively small dining room. The atmosphere is so good, I highly recommend eating in the dining room instead of getting it to-go. This is as authentic as it gets, and I can't stress enough that this was one of the very best Indian meals I've ever had.

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.
