Best curry in Halifax
 

Okay, I did a search for this as I remember reading something in the past but I couldnt find the thread - sorry.

The wife and I are planning to go out for a curry tonight - which is the best place in Halifax for an authentically British curry? We cant decide between the Curry Village and Taj Mahal - anyone been? Are there others?

Go to Canadian Superstore.....buy a jar of Patak Biryani (not tin).

I use that as my spices to add to the chicken and lots of onions. I also add tomatoes, we like Rogan Josh.

If you like hotter curry's, the Madras it good :thumbup:.

Three years in Canada, it's the best I have had!!!!

Good luck.

<chuckles recalling distressed daughter's description of Halifax>

"Daddy, it's just so white, they don't even have curry"

Thanks for the tip but we were actually hoping for a night out without children!

A night out without the children? What's that then?:blink:

I seem to think Val50 recommended the Taj Mahal to me, does it look a bit "dodgy" on the outside?

I think that this is the thread you were thinking of http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=465223

The Taj does look favourite. Let me know how it goes.

Hope you have a nice meal.

There are some Thai sauces in tins at Superstore too. The Yellow Curry one is brilliant.

But I do great ones myself using curry powder (and a sprinkling of chili powder) and some Campbells cream of mushroom soup (undiluted) to thicken after it's cooked through.

I'll have to give that a go!!!!:thumbup:

Errmm.... I've lived in Britain all my life and I've never heard of an authentically British curry; what's in it?

Re: Best curry in Halifax
 

most of the curries we eat were created in the UK.

'Chinese' curry is quite different to 'Indian' curry. I like Indian food but I prefer a Chinese curry. However, Canadian Chinese curry is quite different again.

So to speak of a British Curry may not be as strange as it seems. ;)

My wife had never heard of a Chinese Curry in Quebec. Some Chinese places in NB have them, but they really are different to those I had back in the UK. They're more like a curried stir-fry. Nice enough, just not the same.

Been to both, much prefer the Taj Mahal

Not a recommendation for eating out, but a good tip for all DIY curry makers - there's a spice shop with large bags of every kind of spice you'll ever need, plus sacks of basmati etc, over on Main Street in Dartmouth.

It's called Curry & Spice (I think), and it's on the left, in the small strip mall just after Major Street as you head out of Dartmouth from downtown: link here.

The prices seem to be a bit better than Superstore, and it's nice to support a local outlet for this kind of thing (especially on Main Street!) so we don't have to go to Pete's every time!

Taj Mahal is good, but certainly not British and IMO it's really expensive. I gave up and learned to do it myself so I believe the best curry in Halifax is at my house on a Friday night after the kids go to bed. :D
