More infoSizzling Tandoor has been voted Victoria's best Indian for the better part of a decade, and this family-run room on Johnson Street makes the case with tandoori straight off the coals, rich butter chicken, and naan that arrives blistered and hot and argues immediately for ordering more. It's a share-everything, gauge-how-they-handle-heat dinner. Dinner-only and reliably busy, so book ahead and arrive hungry.
Book ahead, this family-run downtown room has been crowned the city's best Indian for years and fills reliably, then settle in to pass plates and compare heat tolerance. Order the butter chicken, something off the tandoor, and the blistered naan you'll fight over, plus one curry braver than the other for the table. It's generous, comforting and share-everything, so budget around 90 minutes; downtown Victoria's right outside for whatever's next.
