Reviews for Dhaba Express in Halifax, NS
Food is tasty, but butter chicken had a sweet and sour taste did not like that. Thandoori chicken curry is also very delicious.... Butter naan is super big, One is enough to fill your stomach. Authentic Indian taste. Read more
With all the varied reviews for this place I was a bit hesitant. But had been craving an Indian dish for some time. Went for... take-out. Decided to eat in. Table for one. Please. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Had the Tikka Masada and garlicNaan. Asked for extra spicy. Was perfect. Naan was pillowy and pulled apart like a dream. Was it that I had low expectations? Idon't think so. Halifax doesn't have a mecca of great Indian food to choose from. But I will certainly be back! Couldn't stagethe table for the pic as needed to dive in! Read more

I ordered take out - Lamb biryani from Dhaba express For all the biryani lovers, we know that biryani is not only food for the... stomach but also for the soul. Unfortunately! this biryani from Dhaba spoiled everything today. When I open the thin round boxof biryani all that is visible was cumin which is Jeera Basmati rice, 2 raw green cardamom (no sign of ever been cooked withbiryani), yellow colouring rice and boiled lamb meat, of course oil at the bottom. It was lunch closing time between 3-4pm andI went back after 4 to speak with the manager. The manager was kind enough to put me through to the owner. I had ordered biryanifrom Dhaba before and it was gorgeous. (With no cumin) The owner did admit by saying that?s how they have been cooking thebiryani as they mixed it with cumin/jeera. I told him cumin does not go with biryani and he was loud and adamant that?s whatthey have been doing and he said to me that I probably don?t know how to cook biryani. I don?t have to know how to cook biryanibut I sure do know ?how to taste one? Hence, according to the owner cumin rice mixed with yellow rice is their biryani. Well inthat case I highly recommend to order biryani from somewhere else where they make it the right and authentic way. Who vote theseguys best in HRM? Jeera rice is $5.99 versus biryani at $17.99. Thanks for hearing me out Read more
Order combo(roti+dal+ Veg sabzi) via Uber eats as I was sick and unable to cook. The dal and sabzi quantity was very less, taste... was ok. The roti?s sent was ready made which we find in Walmart. This was very disappointing, being Indian restaurant theycannot prepare fresh roti?s. This meal was honestly worth 6$ but meal price was 12$ as it was with Uber I paid 17.50$. I willnever order from here. Read more
The worst Indian meal we have ever had and we have eaten at many excellent Indian restaurants. This is definitely one of them. ... Where do we start - the ?nan? is unlike any we have ever eaten it is more like a flat bread. The curry had loads of grease andhardly any chicken. The rice is not like regular saffron rice, which is much finer. The pics speak for themselves. It wasexpensive for sub-standard food and we won?t be returning. Read more
I cancelled my staff lunch at a sit-down resto because of sharply rising Covid cases, then had to find a take-out option that... wasn't fast food. I had never been to Dhaba and took the chance. Great food! Authentic, delicious, generous servings and fast!This will become our staff lunch meeting go to :) It smelled so great and I ate it so fast I forgot to take a photo; just had abit of the yummy rice left when I remembered.

Really terrible food. Ordered chicken tikka garlic naan, tawa roti. Chicken pieces used in biriyani and tikka masala are the... same not sure stored from how many days , really dry and felt like rubber . After informing them they took the biryani off fromthe bill but the experience is what ruined. Not coming here again neither suggesting any one to come here either Read more
