FAMOUS CURRY GARDEN

Truly a hidden gem in Halifax for authentic and tasty Indian cuisine. Definitely a must go!

Bought chicken biriyani from them, it tasted amazing and the staff were accommodating with flavour profile as well even though we ordered last minute.

Called around 7:30pm to see if they were open. I didn’t get an answer, I figured they ‘ Mite of been busy. Showed up around 8pm but they were completely closed even though online says 9pm…

The food in this restaurant was good. However, it alters the GST/HST to 20% on their own. I called and asked for the reason. The staff on the phone just replied "it may be a mistake. You can come and I can fix it." From the break down on the bottom of my receipt, i guess the garlic naan was counted as 15%, and the other two dishes were counted as 20%. Why your restaurant can set the tax rate to 20% for some of the dishes by yourself? I wonder how prevalent this is across the city. It must add up to quite a sum and no one realises. It is illegal. I strongly hope that customers can check their bills before payment. Famous Curry Garden please don't make any alteration on the GST/HST, which should be 15%.

One star because we’ve never been able to eat here. My husband, his parents and I tried to go back in mid-december. It was closed - okay, maybe they closed early for the holidays. Called, no voicemail, no pick up (and nothing on social media). Fast forward to tonight - February 9th. My husband tried calling three times, now answer. We live in the neighbourhood so we thought to walk there just in case. They were, of course, closed. No snow removal had been done whatsoever. I fear this place is closed.

Edit: The menu has changed now with very few items in main course, tried a couple of items they were 3-4 stars. One year ago: Great taste and portion size is good for what you pay. Highly recommended for Indian food. We usually have vegetarian meals here and the taste truly deserves the high ratings you see for this place.

Ordered paneer tikka masala which had a thick layer of oil on it and too much red food color. Chilli garlic naan had chilli flakes instead of green chilli which is crazy. The only thing half decent was vada pav.

Sub par butter chicken and the worst biryani i’ve ever had. FYI just putting some chicken in rice does not make it biryani. They gave me rice with some curry chicken mixed in.

Had it delivered. Excellent quality. So good in fact, I forgot to take pictures. Well done Famous Curry Garden. Will be in for a meal next time!
