    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.

    So it's my first time ordering food here. They serve their pakoras with plum sauce? That's so weird…read moreand it does NOT go together. So maybe its a mistake? I hope it is. 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.

    Had delivery from Naan-n-curry yesterday. Ordered the butter chicken and chicken korma, along with…read morethe garlic naan and the Jasmin rice. Food was delivered by Door Dash so take the delivery with a grain of salt. The food arrived and was a good portion for the two of us to eat. Chicken korma had a really nice flavour. Sauce was nice and thick, chicken pieces were very large. Butter chicken was good, not great. Didn't find it had as much flavour as others we've tried, but for some it may be perfectly fine. Our mistake was not realizing that these two dishes didn't have anything other than the chicken in them - so make sure you read the descriptions if you want to ensure that you get veggies. Last thing, which is more probably an issue with Door Dash, is that we didn't get any utensils with the food - but we made do in the hotel. Overall will try again another time we are in town and choose some of their other many options.

    We ordered a take out form here yesterday. Ordered paneer tikka from the appetizer and matar paneer…read morewith Amritsari Kulcha and tandoori roti. The paneer tikka taste wise was good, however the food color in paneer could have been avoided, there were five chunks of paneer, good size but no capsicum or onion just one of each for five pieces of paneer. No green chutney just a small tiny yogurt dip, again the taste was good but the experience could be improved by adding few more onions and capsicum on the skewer and chutney. Matar paneer was good too, amritsari kulcha was huge bigger than the plate itself, was tasty too. We had it at room temperature after an hour when it was packed so May be that's why it turned a bit chewy but otherwise taste was nice

    During my exile in Ottawa, the strip malls on the Bedford Highway across from local institution The…read moreEsquire (charmingly named Esquire Plaza 1 & 2) evolved into a hub of cuisines from around the world, and I'm here for it! I've checked a few of these places off my "To Eat At" list, and when looking for some easy takeout after a long day, I took the opportunity to strike another name through. Tanoor is an interesting mix of Syrian and Yemeni cuisine, reminding me of the many East Asian restaurants that put multiple countries' food on their menu to expand their business' appeal. Shawarma features prominently, with both chicken and beef, as well as different regional variations including the Canadian-ized version with more vegetables, and the more traditional version of just meat, garlic sauce and pickles. On the Yemeni side of the menu, one of the country's most famous dishes is the star - mandi. Traditionally, this would be prepared by cooking the meat above a pot of rice in a tandoor/tannur/tanoor, and since it forms the basis of Tanoor's name, I'm going to assume that's how they do it here as well. For our order, I went with a whole chicken mandi, which includes rice and zahawig hot sauce, and I tacked on an order of tabbouli to add some green to the meal. It was ready for pickup in quick order, just 15 minutes later. The mandi was an impressive sight as takeout, although I'm sure it's even better when plated for dine-in. A red-hued, spatchcocked chicken lay atop a huge mound of warmly-coloured rice, which had seen some saffron and other seasonings itself. The container is one of those large rectangular aluminum trays you see at pot lucks and the like, so this was a LOT of rice. After serving up the plates, we eagerly dug in. The chicken skin lost its crispness while wrapped for takeout, but it and the meat had a warm, earthy flavour profile not dissimilar from Indian tandoori chicken that we're more familiar with. The ultra-tender (and admittedly a bit overcooked) meat fell off the bones. The rice had its own complementary flavours from the saffron and the cardamom seeds that dotted the dish, while the tangy zahawig brought contrast and a hint of spiciness to our meal. I found Tanoor's tabbouli to be more lemon-forward than most that I've had, with a layer of sweetness to balance out the acidity of the lemon juice. Not a wild departure from a well-known dish, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I may not be out in the Bedford area very often, but Tanoor and many of its neighbours have added a lot to the area's food scene that would have been hard to imagine not that long ago.

    Stopped in for a shawarma to go. Polite and fast service. Friendly too. Delicious shawarma. I'll be…read moreback. There are a few tables. It's all very new.
