A diamond in the rough. Basic place on a slightly run-down street in Vanier, but don't judge a book by its cover.
The food here is quite different from the 'typical Indian' (read: Punjabi/ North Indian cuisine) served at most Indo-Canadian eateries. The lunch buffet is a great way to sample a number of items, at a very affordable price.
The owners are are Bengalis and their cooking reflects a mix of Bengali and North Indian styles. While the obligatory tandoori and butter chicken make their appearance on the buffet table (can't avoid these, I suppose), it's the vegetable curries and appetizers where their traditions shine through. The chicken and beef curries are not-too-rich but provide a depth of spice and flavours reminiscent of home-cooked Bengali meals. Finish up with the sweets (home-cooked and medium quality IMO) or soothe your palate with ice cream from the freezer nearby (included in buffet price).
The owner and his wife are friendly and happy to offer suggestions to the un-initiated. Not a fancy or posh eatery by any means......... just a decent place for some home-cooked spicy foods. Enjoy!!
This is our favourite place to order Indian food in Ottawa! If you prefer sweet dishes, I recommend the chana masala or the bengul bhaji. If you like spicy dishes, then the chana bhoona is a definite recommendation. The naan is always hot and fresh and the 20+ times we've ordered from here you can tell it came straight from the tandoor. Other favourite dishes are the saag aloo, onion bhaji, and vegetable curry. Great vegetarian selection.
We recently started ordering from Golden India with UberEats - what a great find! The food is always fresh and delicious, the byriani is awesome. Highly recommend it.
I enjoyed a Rice Bowl and Chicken Curry here at lunch today although my favorite thing on the menu is the Fish Curry! Try this place - you won't regret it.
We went here on a Friday having reserved a table. Probably didn't need to reserve but wanted to be sure! Excellent food and service. We did not feel rushed but were served without fuss in good time. Recommend this place. Definitely good value.
Great service, great food. Tandoori chicken is highly recommended as well as the Raunak E Seekah kebab.. amazing. I come here regularly for it.
The moment we walked into this restaurant, the setting and ambiance were great. The place is delicately decorated and tables were set meticulously. However, we did not decide to eat in, but rather get takeout. I ordered a dry Curry with vegetable and rice which came served with a creamy Curry. It was absolutely delicious and I have no complaints. My partner ordered chicken dansak which was extremely spicy and delicious as well. Food wise, I have no complaints. Great Naan, great rice, everything was perfect. However, we ordered two simosas and they were not in the bag. We realized this once we got home, so we did not bother going back, but this is disappointing. The food was delicious and I would go back, I would double check k to make sure everything is there however.
This place is my go-to for ordering in. The menu is more extensive than many Indian places in town, and there is lots of flexibility regarding the proteins. Pretty much every style of dish is available with chicken, beef, lamb, and shrimp. There is also an extensive vegetarian selection.
I particularly recommend the baingan bharta, a roasted eggplant dish served on a flat bread - this dish made me an eggplant lover, rather that an eggplant occasionally appreciater. A smokey, enticing flavour with a smooth, creamy texture. Other highlights include the muglai paratha, which is kind of like scrambled eggs inside my favourite of the Indian breads. I like ordering extra to have for breakfast the next day.
The one time I went for the lunch buffet, I wasn't disappointed. Everything was fresh and flavourful. It just isn't as extensive as their take out/a la carte menu.
In my opinion, one of the best Indian joints in Ottawa.
Little gem. My favourite for take out, delivery and dine in on great, lovingly made Indian. Location in a strip mall on McArthur hides delectable dishes served with attention to service, in a family atmosphere. Attention: may lead to overeating ...
Let me preface this by saying this is my go to Indian in Ottawa. I love the staff and the food is pretty darn good. My last 2 orders was overly sweet. Not up to par, I hope this is a just speed bump and not a trend.
Great naan and definitely try the Chicken Saag Gosht
I love the Indian food here. The curry dansak is really good but it may be too spicy for some. The menu has sections based on spiciness of the dish. the heating platform is a nice added touch.

I went here for dinner a couple of nights back and had a very enjoyable evening. As half ethnic Indian raised by my Indian mother, it depresses me to see a general lack of upscale Indian establishments in the Ottawa area, unlike say Toronto or Montreal, but I am happy to see this as an exception.
The entrance is nothing to talk about since it is tucked away in a strip mall, does not set a good tone. However once inside, greeted with friendly staff followed by reading through a highlight of some of the menu items on a display, and a substantial bar to the right, I had a warm feeling it was not going to be that bad. At the bar, I noticed a nice collection of whiskers, Scotch, as well as some upscale Indian ones.
The key of course to any restaurant is the food and I will save my superlatives for here. An item that is consistently disappointing in Indian restaurants is the Tandoori Chicken, one that should be simple in theory but seems to be hard to deliver in practice. This restaurant succeeds - I did mention to the server that I wanted it extra spicy and well done, and the kitchen delivered. The curries were well executed as well, but the highlight in the main course was the extra spicy Lamb Biryani. Rather than spoil the surprise, I will let the presentation speak for itself. When you order one, you will know that is one huge plate that is also nicely accommodated with some sort of a vegetable sauce. All in all, it was a fantastic visit and will be back for sure.
Doesn't look like much from the outside, but great once you enter. The food is delicious. I can't handle spice, so I appreciate that they offer a few dishes that are mild yet packed with flavour. My husband has ordered spicier menu items and they have all been great too. We moved across town, but still find the drive worth it, as the Indian restaurants in our area don't measure up.
This place has the best Indian food in Ottawa! The food portions are very large that our entire group had leftovers even while ordering only one plate per person. The service was very prompt and each server appeared to have a personal interest in your dining experience being the best. Will definitely return soon!
Really great family-run business. I have only been for the lunch buffet, but will be back soon for dinner!
The Tandoori chicken and fish curry have such amazing flavour and a chili cilantro sauce that is to die for. Get a chai tea for a great way to end your meal! The buffet has a great variety of options and a couple desserts to choose from. You can really try everything until you know what you like. Pricing is quite fair for all that you could potentially eat!
Cozy and personal atmosphere. The owners are lovely and you can see they care about their restaurant. Try out this gem, you won't be disappointed!
We've been to this restaurant several times, first time was with my wife for lunch buffet. and was very impressed with the varieties and freshness of food. We were quite impressed with the service too, naan bread was replenished as soon as it got low with hot ones, table water was refilled without asking ,overall excellent food and service!
Subsequent visit we were 8 of us and was well accommodated with the same good food, good wine and good service
No doubt, we will make this is a go to for one of our favorite Indian food.
It is a bit far from where we live, nevertheless it is worth the drive .
One of my favourite Indian places in Ottawa along with Host India. The owner is super nice, and the food is incredible. Everything is fresh and tastes fresh. Their sag paneer is the best I've ever had, and the lamb madras is another must try. Be aware, they grind their own spices fresh, which means that a spicy dish can be extra spicy if they get a particularly potent batch of dry ingredients one day.
The beef dupiaza was extremely flavourful, with a generous serving of super tender beef. I absolutely loved it! The samosas fillings are actually spicy, which was a very welcome surprise. As other have stated, the butter chicken is quite sweet and mild. Overall excellent meal, will definitely be ordering from here again!!
