Best indian buffet in ottawa hands down. The food is well spiced and fresh. The staff obviously take a lot of pride in their food. I went again today and was reminded of how nice it is to like every dish in a buffet, even the vegetarian dishes, which is a big deal for me ;)
We order take out, food is consistently good. The restaurant is quite full many nights so people enjoy it. I love the Lamb Sag Gosht and the Vegetable Bhaji. Only thing I dislike is they put quarter chunks of fresh tomato as a space filler in the carry out so you don't get as much product. Kind of feel cheated.
I would recommend this place to anyone!! Delicious and authentic Indian food in a warm and cozy environment. The service was incredibly kind and helpful with the menu and you certainly get what you pay for in terms of food, as we all had lots to take home. I will be back!!
Best Indian Food in Ottawa. After eating here regularly for nearly six years, their quality and consistency is second to none. Each time I take someone new, they are always impressed. My favourite dishes (I am a vegetarian): begun bhaji, sag aloo bhaji, aloo gobi, tarka dhal, regular and garlic naan, chai. My kids love their butter chicken. The buffet is the economical choice.
One of my new Fav places. Not much to say other than this is fantastic Indian food. Last time I had the butter chicken and Lamb Dhansak with Naan and the Begun Bharta Puri to start (which had a very subtle and savory flavour to it). The Dhansak is a must try IMO. The service was notably good with the staff having a superb knowledge of the menu and willing to help you decide what you want. Suggest making a reservation if you're looking for a table after 6 as we arrived just before 6 and was dead but afterwards people flooded in and there was literally a line-up out the door to get a table.
Miss it !!!!. We used to live in the Glebe and dined here at least once a month. The food, the service and the atmosphere are second to none in Ottawa. In deed the food is about the best Indian that we have had. Now that we live in the country, we miss the Light of India. It is an absolute treat when we have the opportunity, while in Ottawa, to go downtown to pick up a take out , bring it to the country and savour it!!!!!!!
I get cravings.... ...for the Light of India's eggplant bhaji with the naan...oh and the butter chicken....waiters are so kind!
Best in ottawa. Best indian food in town and friendly staff will go back again.
Best indian food. .. Period. Seriously, thick, rich sauces and tender meat. Highly recommend the garlic naan and the multigawny soup to start. Lovely owners, staff, atmosphere and the food is life changing!
This restaurant serves really good food, great staff and owner, the only thing I would change in this restaurant is the décor. I will absolutely go again
Light of India is hands down is THE BEST Indian food we have eaten. Our family have been regulars for over two decades. They prepare our meals “vegan” as we have requested with no issues or loss of flavour, absolutely delicious every time. Highly recommend!
The ABSOLUTE BEST INDIAN CUISINE I’ve ever had. Being from Montréal every time I visit Ottawa I must order at least once from here. The shrimp korma, the vegetarian Briyani the naan, everything is flavorful and fresh upon order. They are also polite and professional. I’ve brought many people and they to agree with me.
This food was absolutely delicious. So fragrant and fresh! Real whole ingredients. Very authentic. 5/5 experience! Fully recommend!

This place is really lovely, it looks, smells, and feels very authentically Indian for sure, and I am saying this as a very high compliment to them.
It is conveniently located and had a definite, distinct charm and aura.
When you enter you are greeted exotically with colorful art, quiet background ambience, accommodating seating, and incredible service.
They go the extra mile to really serve you well.
We had some appetizers, which in themselves were quite excellent in quality and quantity, the onion bhaji (sp?) were great as was the prawn topped bread.. spicy and perfect. Their naan in fact is actually Incredible, and would make a fine meal of itself, that's my own opinion.
If you like naan, these guys rock!
We ordered a couple dishes which were delectable and quite savory. These people know how to really stay true to both sweet and spicy. The dishes were very palatable and we ordered extra basmati rice too. There are enough mild, medium, and hot dishes available.
We even sampled some different beers.
Cheetah brand is actually very fantastic and I highly recommend it. Tiger is good too, it was unfortunate they had run out of Kingfisher, but no worries.
There were ample wine selections too.
This restaurant has a good menu and something for everyone, if you like Indian. Tasty treats galore!
Their service, as stated prior, is top notch.
The complimentary watermelon mini bowl with grapes at the end was a cute touch, and the chocolate mint, after-dinner sticks.
Those little efforts mean a lot and go a long way.
We will tell our friends, and be sure to return!
If you like authentic Indian, these people will probably satisfy your cravings very well.
It was full when we went on Saturday night, and many people came in for take out.
It says a lot.
Certainly was peak hours.
See you guys again!
😉✌
