REVIEWS OF Thali IN Ottawa

Kishan Gandhi

I went with a friend and we had a waiter by the name of Ray. He was very kind, polite and enthusiastic. The food was delicious and the ambiance was very relaxing. I can't wait to come again.

Joseph van Blokland

Awesome, delicious food. We asked for spicy and we got it! I confirmed and was really happy to know that this is by the same chef as coconut lagoon. We visited CL about 3 years back and were very happy with the food. This time around the CL is temporarily closed and didn't really know where to go for lunch. Thali is a blessing in disguise ????... we recommend to everyone, do visit when in Ottawa.

Margot Barthelemy

Excellent food. Very fresh. The entire restaurant and washrooms and kitchen are sparkling clean. Justin did a very good job in serving us, and even accommodated my request to give me a teaspoon of pickle with my tally as I did not wanna order a pickle platter separately. Suggestion to the owner to add a little bit of pickle in every thali ☺️ I really like the energy of this place

Samiha Versi

Delivery was early (which was great). Food was okay. We would have liked more information on the menu and when calling to ask questions. The person on the phone barely spoke any English, which made it hard to get more details about the dishes. That said, most of the food was okay!

Paméla B. (Pam1256)

Amazing dining experience, probably one of my favourite spots for Indian food in the City! Their Lobster Masala is 100% worth getting

Aravamudan Srivatsan

Great place for Indian food. Flavors are amazing. I will definitely recommend it if you have never been!

Setup looks like Apple store, clean, servers were friendly. Food was average, couple of curries weren't very flavourful. The thali presentation was great.

Jason Charron

Great variety of food and the wait staff were super helpful and friendly. Mango Lassi was delightful!

Sidd Dulal

Such a wonderful experience! The food is delicious - would definitely recommend the Ooty Mushroom, Porathas and Indian Chai - and the atmosphere is so cozy and relaxing. Lovely wait staff who are always friendly and a pleasure to interact with. Definitely one of our new favourite restaurants!!!

A wonderful ambiance and a good service! We were craving for a thali food in Ottawa and came across this restaurant. Sadly, the Food did not taste like what we expected. The portions were quite small and there were no salt and spices in food. We are ok without spices, but we want flavor which it completely lacked. The rotis tasted like the frozen ones. No salad and pickles in the thali. We just could not eat 3 veges from that thali as they were just sooo tasteless. Very expensive for the quality and quantity of the food we got. Overall, if you have desi tastebuds, I won’t recommend it.

I searched for Thali in Ottawa and Thali restaurant popped up. I saw the pictures online and I thought "wow, authentic Indian Thali" I loved the ambience, decor, hospitality and location. It is a busy restaurant and when I was there it was at full capacity. As for the food.. I was really really disappointed. It is nothing like an authentic Indian Thali. It looked good. But taste wise it lacked spices and flavors and SALT! It wasn't hot/spicy none of the dish was and I am okay if the food is not spicy but I would appreciate it if it had flavor.. it lacked taste. Taste as per indian cuisine standards. Now, a local/ Canadian would rave about it because the spice level and taste is for the Canadian audience but as an Indian I would not recommend a fellow indian as a must try for Thali. Especially for the price of it. Overall Food: 1/5 Price for food: 1/5 too expensive for the food served Ambience: 4/5 Hospitality: 4/5

Generic Stuff

Lately we have been getting take out from here but we always go for the thali and I must admit, their take out thali containers are super cute with all the tiny compartments. The food is really good and service is good. I am obsessed with their parathas. And their Eggplant curry. I wish they would stop giving the mango dessert in the to go container as I prefer their other desserts. Next time I plan on asking for a switch. Let's see if they do it. Overall a really nice place and I would love to go again with my family.

Fahd Pasha

Amazing dinner with healthy proportions (the Thali can be split between two unless you have a big appetite). Really good and spiced well.

Sanaa Mraiheen

Ordered the traditional Thali with shrimp: it was excellent! Loved it, highly recommend their mango lassi and roasted pinapple too.

Chaitanya Uttarwar

AMAZING FOOD!! a great way to change your taste. The chicken curry (make sure to order spicy) is AMAZING. I was hesitant but I loved it!!

Jordan Rideout

Thali tasted fairly good but portions were small for the price. They didn't have several of their featured beers available. Lamb chops were delicious.

Ali Madi

Service

Jacques Ledoux

Excellent Indian food in the downtown core, and I appreciate that, but not the place for a quick lunch. $5 for a bowl of rice? This restaurant is better for a slow enjoyable meal and drinks with colleagues. Ottawa needs a place where we can just get simple Indian meals like rice and daal.

Anand Ramaswamy

Food was fine but the service was a bit disappointing. The options in the lunch Thali that were mentioned to us were different from what was served. We also wanted to alter our options but there was no difference options when we got served. I addition 2 of the Thalis had the same thing served twice. The good thing is we asked to change and they happily obliged. The other thing that bothered us what that we ordered extra rotis which took them some half an hour to serve after we had to remind them.

We were a big group and the service was friendly, the food was very flavorful and the prices reasonable. I would definitely go there again to try out more of their delicious looking meals.

AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Great food !! And great variety !! I love this place. One only thing is that their bread is overpriced if you order extra.

Pradyumna Gujjar

Located in the heart of downtown, Thali has a wonderful ambience. It has a simplistic yet a very elegant set up both at the indoor and outdoor dining space. We tried their Vegetarian Thali and spiced buttermilk and was not disappointed when it came to how the food tasted. Where I was disappointed was when I was told that they don’t do refills. Authentically, Thalis back in India are served with multiple refills and if not, they have that explicitly mentioned. To be fair, the charges for the extra portion was very nominal. However at the price point, I would have expected the restaurant to offer at least 2 refills. I would defiantly recommend this restaurant for anyone craving for some good Indian meal!

Mariyam Zafar

My husband and I ate here on November 7, 2021. We were in Ottawa only for the weekend, and we read great reviews for this place. My husband is a big fan of thalis, so he was obviously very excited. I had a bit of a mixed experience here. The place is beautiful and the service was great. We both ordered non-veg thali which came with a bowl of rice and 1 tawa roti. I really liked every dish, especially the mushrooms. However, the biggest dampener on the meal was that the "tawa roti" was literally the store-bought frozen chappatis we get at home. I really was not able to enjoy my meal because of that. The rice was disappointing as well, it felt a little dry. However, I was able to communicate my disappointment with the manager. I am not the one to call managers to complain about food, but he was going from table to table asking for feedback, and he thanked me. I am also impressed that he did not try to refute me. Their service really is very good (would that lead to any change in the menu? Perhaps not, if I am the only person who minds the frozen chappati). Also, my husband had a gala time. He loved everything and he finished everything on the thali! He didn't eat the roti but he didn't mind the rice.

Sachin Manjaiah

We were so impressed with the service at Thali! We celebrated a birthday and the staff brought out the cake we brought on a nice plate and went above and beyond by decorating the cake with icing sugar and added some candles (I forgot to bring our own). The food was fantastic, definitely recommend the crab cakes! Thank you for making our night special!

Chris John

Thali hits all the right spots a good restaurant should: 1. Good decor and vibe 2. Welcoming and professional staff 3. Good and flavourful food 4. Good service

Brijesh Khokhar

Ordered amazing takeout for my birthday . Lamb, chicken, veg and biryani. Everyone was very impressed. Even the non lamb eaters like the lamb :) Have been there multiple times for dine in. Always happy with food any service.

Mars N

At Thali, the food is always fresh and tasty. The service is also very attentive and they have a nice patio. Thali is our new favorite Indian food restaurant in the city of Ottawa.

Janice Eastman

I've been here multiple times pre-covid and have always loved the space. It used to be just a few mins away from my downtown workspace but working from home, I hadn't had it in a while so when I went into the office I made a plan to definitely visit them. I saw they had rearranged their tables to be little pods instead of the straight rows that were there before. There were a few dine-in customers for lunch so that's always an option. I was there with friends to order take out and was curious what a Thali takeout would look like without the usual platter. While waiting we saw lots of people come in to just pick up orders and I made a mental note to do the same next time. The wait wasn't long and the platter in a custom take out container didn't look as ornate as a Thali plate but it tastes just the same. Of course when you do take-out, you forfeit their usual unlimited vegetarian dish top-ups but it was plenty enough food. The Roti is always amazing. The dishes are always changing and over my visits I have come to enjoy most of them. Sometimes the vegetarian dishes feel like the curry base came first and whatever was the vegetable of the day got thrown in, as opposed to building a curry around the vegetable they wanted to use. This makes for some ok/passable combinations but these are not common. Overall I have enjoyed every visit including my take-out experience. Highly recommended it for South Indian cuisine. Most Indian places are North Indian btw, so I'm grateful for Thali for that variation when the mood strikes!

Samson

Usually second experience is not glorious but with Thali, even better. Nice Indian food with a touch of modernity married to the generosity of the indians. Tried different dishes, same delight

Nazifa Feda

5 star because of the customer service and presentation of the food. It's an great environment for family dinner or with friends. The food was okay some dishes are very bland. If you like indian food but not spicy then it's a perfect restaurant for you. I would say it's a fancy Indian restaurant.

savana bassit

Had very delicious butter chicken and excellent service! Very nice wait staff and attended to our needs and often checked in on our table! I purchased the cookbook as a Christmas present for my mother-in-law who loves Indian food!

Aditi Gokhale

Thali was the perfect spot for our birthday dinner. We ordered the chicken sukka, shrimp kakkan and the traditional thali dish in both lamb and shrimp (respectively). Each dish was better than the last! I highly recommend the traditional thali dish especially if you're indecisive about what delicious meal you'd like to try. The wait staff were incredible and even brought out a happy birthday dessert for my husband. We will absolutely be going back! Thanks Thali team for a wonderful evening!

ianna

Ordered the crab cakes and the lamb Thali! Crab cakes - incredible flavour and very delicious crab meat - 5/5. Thali was composed of mainly vegetarian dishes including mushrooms, eggplants, lentils, rice pudding, yogurt, salad with a hint of coconut and of course the lamb in this case as the protein. Food taste - 4/5 - Lamb tasted a bit too peppery, but overall everything was very well cooked and flavoured. The rice was cooked perfectly. Price - 3/5 - quantities were tiny for the price you’re paying, I understand the aim is to sample everything, but if you divide the price out by the little bowls of all the food, the price per bowl would be ~ $4 and it does not cost $4 for a tiny bowl of yogurt, and $4 for a tiny bowl of coleslaw with some coconut in it…just saying Good place to try on a smaller scale, def recommend trying the crab cakes tho.

Salim Alkhodari

Extremely flavourful taste of veg and chicken thali! Chicken sukka is super scrumptious! Dining here fills the soul! ???????????? recommended!

Siddhartha Siripragada

Incredible Indian food have Just like Coconut lagoon this place is fantastic. A little on higher end side for pricing but you get high quality food. The service is incredible our server was fantastic and quick on everything. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for the best Indian food experience. I had the chicken biryani, coworkers had butter chicken, and one had the Thali all incredible and fresh.

Jason K

Came here because we love Coconut Lagoon. But it was a huge let down. Service was inadequate - we had to ask to order, ask for the bill twice. Food was subpar and overpriced. Ordered crab cakes, which was just ok, butter chicken, which was bland despite the bright red color, lobster masala which was decent but neither dishes came with rice so we had to ask for rice on top of that which was a whooping $5 for a small bowl. How pray tell am I suppose to eat these dishes without rice? Isn't that a basic necessity? Both dishes were also tiny for the price. Also ordered lamb thali - again small portions, lamb was fatty. Unfortunately, this was a miss and we won't be returning.

Mireille Delisle

This is what you get in $22 traditional thali + 1 roti & a piece of gulab jamun. The number of reviews and photos i had seen of their Thali, this is very disappointing. The quality of food was still better but the quantity sucks. I have seen other places where you get the same quantity with at least 2 roti/ naan for $9-$10. They should work on their takeout stuff.

Emma Jarvis

Great supper, aesthetics, staff, and selections. Highly recommended if you like southern Indian food, and great wine pairings.

Elianna Phillips

As someone with a lower spice tolerance, found some of the dishes (e.g. pumpkin soup, butter chicken) a little too spicy for my liking. It would be great if the spice level was indicated on the menu. Otherwise great ambiance and delicious food. Would highly recommend the crab cakes, the lamb thali, and the paratha!!

Zahra Nafar

The staff was very friendly here. Unfortunately many of their dishes contain coconut and my husband is allergic to coconut so we were only able to try the paneer (chef substituted coconut for us) and the eggplant curry with rice. The food was good - again, we didn’t have many options but we felt accommodated. They had very refreshing lime juice which was fresh. It does contain a lot of ginger so it may not be preferred by all.

Foram shah

Excellent food and service!! Staff is very nice, smiling and helpful. Crab cakes are very tasty. Cumin flavoured rice is absolutely scrumptious. The only thing which made me subtract one star is that the “lobster” massala is not lobster, it’s scampi. Still good, but not lobster, as advertised. We ate outside but interior seems quite nice. Strongly recommend!!

Raghuraj Tapaswi

We have been regular customers of Coconut Lagoon and Thali for quite a number of years because the food is so good, but our meal of 2021/10/10 was incredibly disappointing. The first hint something had changed was that instead of the delicious naan, we were provided with what looked like cheap tortillas with small portions. Then the sauces were all watery and the portions significantly reduced. People understand that costs are rising so please don't play games with the portion sizes. Increase the price or add several different sizes if need be. The worst of the courses were the main meat portions of the meals which were uncharacteristically bland and no longer had their previous creamy texture. The meals definitely weren't worth the $24 price. So disappointed!

Went there with some work colleagues. If you want quality and good traditional Indian food, this is the place to go. You will leave with a smile and filled tummy. Clean and fresh food with a nice dining area. Nice service as well. Will return for sure.

SciMMia Sheila

Great place to eat authentic and aromatic indian food in Ottawa. Well presented and well organized. Gr8 ambience. Love it. If you want spice taste than pl..add in advance. Must visit.

Scott Simon (Walis)

Excellent experience! We were warmly received by helpful staff and management. They atmosphere is reminiscent of a tropical southern restaurant with high ceilings and greenery - a node to southern India perhaps.

Dhaval Patel

Picked up takeout and was blown away. This may be the best Indian food I have EVER had. Will definitely be visiting Ottawa again just so I can dine here again!

Siddarth Raja

Thali, lots of expectations before we went there. We were excited to relish Kerala food and most famous in vegetarian is kadala curry and malabar parota. I booked table for 12:30 pm and we were little late so we called in and said that we will be late by 20 mins. When we arrived at around 12:50, we were told that we will have to leave by 2 due to a private party. We felt little bad that they did not inform us when we were on phone that day. We would have either set an expectation or we would have planned for another time. Since we are there with kids we decided to go ahead as they were in hunger. We ordered pumpkin rasam and mango lassi. They tasted really yummy. Our expectations were that kadala curry and malabar parota will be ultimate but kadala curry did not meet our expectations. Ott Mushroom was like a Thai dish not like Kerala dish. Malabar parota was bigger than our expectation and it tasted good. We were again informed by their staff that we need to leave by 2 pm and do we want to place any order. It made us feel as uninvited customer. They should either not accepted us or they should not have treated in that way to just earn money. I did not know in the hospitality world how is it seen. I don’t know if I would visit again due to experience we had. I would recommend if you were to book table please check with them if they have a private party, if so go another time.

Cristian M

It was great, but was surprised when there was no sambar with my south Indian thali! Also I asked for it hot, and it was served mild. But the food was very good and so was the service. Very good staff.

Ankit Sharma

I had visited the ild Coconut Lagoon 3 or 4 years back with my friends and it was the best.I had the buffet lunch back then.But I dont feel that its is as good as the old one.This time I had the Thali which was the only option available for Kerala style meals.I did not really find the food Kerala this time. It was delicious for sure but I wont say it is Kerala food. Also for the amount they charge I am expecting some more shredded coconut in all the curries.

Esteban Naranjo

Ambience, Customer service is good Very less food quantity Poorly cooked no salt, no spices. We ordered Tali and veg biryani food is tasteless. Finally overpriced. I do not recommend this restaurant

Srishti Batra

Authentic South Indian food for a good price! Their Thali is super good.

Akanshu Joshi

Our go to for Indian food in Ottawa. The best! We have been fans since Coconut Lagoon, and Thali is such a great next step. Also, thank you for the mango pudding with our New Year's Eve order.

Excellent location, ambiance and service, backed by a lip smacking taste! THE authentic Kerala taste one can get in the capital! Chose any thali at thali and you will not regret it.

William Gillard

It’s one time visit place. Average food but great ambience in the heart of downtown. Food is not authentically Indian. Bit disappointed. Their dinner thali is nicely served but not worth for the price.

HM Kim

If you haven’t been you have to go. Made reservations for 8PM and waited for 20 min to get in and who can blame them? The place was packed and well worth every minute. I’ve been to Coconut Lagoon several times with family and friends and this place is just an elevated experience. Same chef and owners and so happy we got to taste great Indian cuisine again. We started with the vegetable spring rolls to butter chicken, cauliflower masala and shrimp in a coconut ginger sauce. Finger lickin good and I encourage anyone to try this place out. The hospitality was on par, always checking in and very polite. Recommending this place to all my friends just make sure you make reservations :).

Jamil Khan

The best place to have authentic south Indian thali We took chicken thali, lamb thali and chicken sukha Good quantity and best taste. Ambience - 4/5 Taste - 5/5 Service - 5/5

Brahim Ouzineb

Thali is the quintessence of a bittersweet fine dining experience to put it bluntly. As a spot that champions the most enticing patio you'll find in the downtown core and one that prides in sharing pieces of Indian culture through its graceful cuisine, its noticeably sparing portions, in a way, hold Thali back from fully celebrating India's nuanced flavours with patrons in a fully authentic light. Regardless, the flavour profile on anything in Thali's compact lineup is deep and delightful.

Nilay Lad

I've been doing a number of take outs since the covid but I'm quite disappointed with Thali today . I ordered black pepper lamb for the third time and I'm confident that this was not how it was last year or even this spring. The portion has noticeably decreased but still charging $21 for this dish. Sadly I'm not sure if i will visit again...

Feny Suthar

Amazing experience. Very nice staff and service. Beautiful interior design. Food quality is also good.

Shalini Ojha

I have always hear about coconut lagoon but unfortunately never had the chance the try it. Yesterday I tried Thali which by the same cook.. they were pretty busy for lunch during the week! Luckily there are lots of street paid parking by the restaurant. We had the mango lassi which was soooo good and the Thali lunch special! It’s such a great way to try many things on one tray! You get all vegetarian dishes except for your protein you get to pick and one of the bowls is your dessert which was rice pudding! Loved everything on the tray.. my personal favourite was the mushroom and the lentils! I couldn’t eat anything till the end of the day and can’t wait to try it again! Servers weren’t very friendly nor knowledgeable but other than that all was great!

Gurjit M

Someone with true Indian taste buds would know that food here taste not authentic at all. Each and every dish I ordered was brand and not upto the mark. Gave 2 stars for Ambience and service by my servers

Émilie Chan

Mango Lassi was delicious and the Chicken Biryani too. Will definitely come again. Make sure to reserve in advance, as it gets busy.

Robinson handa

I ordered Vegetarian Thali and the food was below average. Based on the ratings and reviews, my friends and I went there. To our surprise, the food was pathetic. It might be famous for non-vegetarian food, which we don't eat but the vegetarian food was disgusting. The Thali from Thali restaurant which should be mouth-watering (restaurants name is from a dish of different cuisines)- was the other way around. The roti was like the ones we get from supermarket- the frozen or the preserved ones (ready-made from factory). It never tasted like hand-made and was very hard. We had a total bill of more than 200 bucks which I felt like most wasted money. Sorry for being rude, but I am really disappointed as I had higher expectations. I would never recommend it.

bala S

We ordered Thali with paneer as protein. It was really authentic south Indian. Staff is super nice, ambience was good and food was very delicious Overall we had great time and I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to try southern Indian food.

steve leo

Good for people who can handle only very mild spices . Ordered paneer thali and chicken biriyani . I wouldn't recommend biriyani because the rice was not cooked to perfection . It was partially cooked like about 70%.The spices doesn't blend well with the rice . I felt it doesn't looks like the Chicken pieces cooked for biriyani, instead they used the chicken pieces from the curry and mixed with the plain cooked rice. . Thali was good .very mild and good selection of curries . Again the rice was not cooked to perfection. Overall THALI Flavour is good . If you really want to try a traditional Indian restaurant , I would suggest not to try THALI place. My final order was chai,tastes good . LOL ???? I had almost 5 pieces of cardomom in my chai . REALLY . Five star rating for the service . Ambience was good . A good casual dining restaurant vibe .

Lamis Agena

3-stars because while the food is good and flavourful it’s not “very good (4-stars)” or “exceptional (5-stars)”. That said it’s flavourful, homely and like the fact that the veggie items are “unlimited”. Would have appreciated if the roti and rice were also unlimited or option for second serving. Coffee is exceptional!

Casey Bee

Worst place to eat Vegetarian Biriyani. Just the flavour smell was good as you added the flavour essence. Pathetic veg Biryani, do not recommend. I ordered two (43$) and couldn’t even finish half of one. One still remaining in the fridge and no one wants to eat.

Christine

What an amazing ambience and place. Food was Super delicious and great service. For me, the heritage door at the entrance is like cherry on top. I loved the combination of cutlery and plants in glass vase used as an interior decor. Had a great evening with bestbuds✌????????. I would definitely recommend this.

Namrata Barman

I had lamb thali at lunch. Taste was good but portion size was very small. Felt like they are serving kids meal for $24.

Mitul Patel

Taste like grocery store bought indian food, if you went to the food court in a mall and ate indian it would probably taste better and you would be saving money. I gave 2 stars because the interior looks nice. And parathas tasted good as well.

Phani Rohith

Almira Tapal

The thali was good, and so is the Malabar paratha. However, the quantity of the other dishes (starters) was less.

Arjana Siva

This restaurant is great! I would recommend for a date or business meeting. Dishes are all expertly prepared and the presentation is gorgeous, staff are very attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes. The chefs customise each dish to your spice level prefrence. I had the crab cakes and the traditional thali With the lamb. For dessert the rice pudding with the Indian coffee...I loved all of it. Most of the sauces are coconut based (as per the name of restaurant) will be going back to try everything else.

Sophie Barber

This patio is absolutely stunning, you can tell a lot of thought was given to ensure the beautiful ambiance. We started out with the 6 piece veg samosas, they were quite good. As some reviewers have pointed out they are not your traditional samosas, the pastry used resembles rice paper, keep that in mind. For the main courses we ordered Lamb Kurma and the Ooty Mushroom curry. Both dishes were incredibly delicious, just be mindful of the spice level. The standard medium level was quite mild, feel free to ask for extra heat if you can tolerate it. Each of us also had 2 cocktails, bringing our bills to ~$65 each. I would absolutely recommend trying this place out. The staff were wonderfully attentive throughout the evening and the food was incredibly delicious. A final disclaimer, if you're looking for authentic Indian food I'm unfortunately the wrong person to critique in that regard. We will be returning for sure!

Monica Trejo

This was my first time trying Indian Cuisine and I really enjoyed the experience. The food was amazing, the servers are helpful, the service is very timely, and the patio is top tier. Due to COVID indoor dining is closed. Would definitely be going back next time I am in Ottawa.

Karam M

My friends and I weren’t initially planning on going here but it smelled so good walking by that we were drawn. The mushroom curry was delicious and the rice was perfect and fresh. Friendly and quick service too.

Suraj

It's a great establishment! The order included Traditional Thali (chicken), Chicken Sukka, Salmon Curry and drinks! Food was great, and greater was their service! While the staff members were helpful, the manager or owner visited the table , maybe 3 times, in order to ensure that the experience was great! Thank you, Thali!

Melissa Philpott

After India, I tasted one of the best masala recipes here. I tried lamb thali (with extra spicy) and it's really great. My wife ordered chicken briyani and it's not at all worth of its price.

Ottawa Reviewer

First time taking out from here, everything was super tasty! But my family was was disappointed with the butter chicken was missing some spice it was super red. I also wish they had put labels to help understand the platter. All and all everything else was super delicious. Couldn't get enough of the bread! Each dish ranged from about $20.

priyanka ambegaokar

Tried to use the website to order, which was very convoluted. Had to re-set password and several options were rejected by the website as "weak". At the end of it all (30 mins later) it appears that this restaurant does not delivery anymore - only pickup. There was political messaging on the website (concerning alleged status of lands) which was irrelevant to my business there. I will eat elsewhere.

Raja Johnpulle

We ordered paneer thali which had 6 different Indian dishes. This place has a happy vibe and great ambience.

O. Valkyrie

This was my second visit here. I arrived at the restaurant at 215pm (45mins before closing) and there were 3 guests and 3 waiters at that time. The owner took my order (thali) and the food arrived fairly quickly (within 7 minutes). The thali was not bad but lacked some of my favourite items that were served to me on my previous visit. They replaced one of the dishes with mushrooms which I didnt enjoy too much. What disappointed me the most was that the whole time I ate there not one waiter came to offer me water or check up on me to see if I was enjoying the food or if I needed anything. Otherwise, the food, while not mind blowing, is still worth it, but because of the lack of client service my overall experience was diminished.

Wendy Richardson

Luscious, exquisite Indian food that makes you fall in love with this restaurant's food every time. Their mocktails are sensational, especially the raspberry lime crush.

Cameron Lussier

I’ve grown up eating Indian food but this is by far the best I’ve had in a very long time. If you’re ever in Ottawa, and you want Indian food..don’t hesitate to come anywhere else!
