Food is good but a bit expensive compared to other restaurants, they need to work more on the chicken tikka as it’s chewy and have all staff wear a hair net as I found hair in my food but they were nice to replace it and not charge for it

Best Indian cuisine in Victoria. Food is fantastic and service is even better. Our go-to restaurant.

The tandoori fish was such an excellent recommendation

We just ate there tonight. The food was delicious. Our waitress was friendly and kind.

Superb food. Visited on Canada Day and as it’s away from the main events put on by the city it was a little quiet, but all the better for us. Everywhere close to the harbour was rammed, we got great food with impeccable service.
Visit, you won’t be disappointed.

Went here for my bday with my partners family as well as mine. Two toddlers and 8 adults were easily accommodated. The food was fantastic, service was excellent and probably especially, Wiscon (Viscon?) who was so sweet with the children as well as a very attentive server. Perfect experience.

The food was great, we will definitely be back. We had pakora, tandoori fish, veg cashew curry and fettucini. Servings were generous and we are all still thinking about the fish, it was amazing. It's not visible from the street but the decor was lovely! Our server was very considerate of the younger member of our party which we really appreciated.

HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE FOR A VEGETARIAN

As a lifelong vegetarian, I was appalled and disgusted to be served CHICKEN instead of paneer in paneer tikka masala. This negligence is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE and has caused me immense distress.

The manager apologized for this. Nevertheless, I demand immediate action to prevent such gross experience from happening to anyone else.

Vegetarian options: If you are a vegetarian, it is best to go eat at home or go for a pure vegetarian restaurant or if you decide to go to Sizzling Tandoor, make sure to go inside the kitchen and watch while the food is being prepared. We had a disappointing experience where we were served chicken instead of paneer in a paneer tikka masala. Common gravy and common utensils can be used for both vegetarian and non vegetarian food preparation hence it is best to monitor food preparation live.

Lily was one of the best servers we’ve ever had and made sure we had a great experience. The drinks made by Peter were also a major highlight. We definitely recommend and will be returning for more great food and service!

The whole place had a very nice atmosphere. The food was incredible, we even had enough for leftovers. Our server Lily was very friendly, and the drinks made by Peter were some of the best I've had.

We got takeout so no reviews on vibe but the Shahi paneer was probably the best I've ever had. Perfect spice and heat and I have this dish at EVERY Indian restaurant I go to.
Naan was super warm and fresh. Panoramic was a bit salty and over fried but otherwise I'd 100% order from here again and suggest it to friends.
