Ziggy's

Ziggy's Spice House has been cooking on Carlton Street since 1999, building one of Halifax's longer-standing reputations in the South Asian takeaway scene. The menu combines Indian and Pakistani curry-house staples with pizzas and doner kebabs — an honest mixed-grill-and-balti offer aimed at the regular rather than the first-timer. Reviews on Restaurant Guru give it 4.1 out of 5 across 440 ratings, and curry bloggers have ranked it among the top curry takeaways in Halifax. Regulars return for the properly spiced balti dishes and the Ziggy's house specials, which tend to run hotter than the standard menu suggests. An established and reliable performer in the Carlton Street area, a short walk from the town hall.
