Dhaba Express

My first visit to the main restaurant in a fair old while, having been frequenting their offshoot in 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 dhal, 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.

I’ve been a regular customer at Dhaba for several years and I love Dhaba’s butter chicken. A couple of years ago, I noticed they started reducing the amount of chicken in their butter chicken, but it was still acceptable. Today, I ordered a kid-sized butter chicken for my daughter and was shocked to find only three pieces of chicken. Extremely disappointed

The worst food I have ever ordered ! The Nan and parotta were soaked in burnt oil. Dal makhni was completely stale, I could smell it even from across the room. Aloo gobhi and halwa all tasted sour and stale and it was completely inedible. You should be ashamed to serve such horrible food to people and putting their health at risk.
