“Delicious Dal Fry and Kardai Chicken. Rich flavour and texture on both. (But I will skip the raita next time -- too watery!)”
“The experience was fantastic! Super friendly waitress Liz! The food was absolutely delicious and quick refills on my soft drink. We went for the Tuesday Trivia and had a ball! Super helpful setting up and very engaging! Always love the atmosphere here :)”
“Last night was my 2nd time at this place. We showed up with no reservation and asked for a table for 15 people. They made it happen. The food was AMAZING! We split a few platters and everyone was happy and left very full.The prices were very reasonable. Our waiter, Emrah, was super attentive, funny and an overall happy guy! What a pleasure to have him take care of us. Please come check this place out! 🙏🏻”

“This was our second visit in 2 weeks. On both occasions our waitress was amazing. As a former manager and operating partner of both Kelsey's and Montana's I have to say that listening to our waitress talk with her tables, and in particular the professional approach to a food allergy at our neighbouring table was note worthy. She handled it with so much knowledge and care. I hope that home office appreciates the level of service that exists in those 4 walls.”
“Otroligt god mat! Rekommenderar starkt deras halstrade lax i kombination med chilimajo. Deras rullar och poke bowls är också storfavoriter här hemma. Vardagslyx; 10/10!”
“Loved the food and the colorful ambience. I'm not a fan of Mexican food but my boyfriend loves it. I flipped the script and took him out to Casa Mexico in Kanata. He had the burritos and I had the quesabirrias (marinated shredded beef quesadillas). I am gluten-free and to find so much I could chose from.on a menu was great. Both plates were delicious. The decorations in bright colors were delightful. We're definitely going back to try the tacos.”

“The WINGS are THE BEST & FRESH in Ottawa!! I go there every week atleast once. I order online in Wingsup.com and pick the food in a jiffy. Love the Jamaican hot 🥵 being an Indian this is so flavourful and spicy. Second best I like is Texas tequila flavour. Great boneless bites too 🔥🔥🔥”

“The best customer service. Every time we visit kanata location, Simran gives us the most welcoming smiles, and prepare our orders exactly as want them (or better) and make us feel so welcomed, and everything taste better if you are happy. She has set the customer service bar very high; if we visit other places, they are never close to her efficiency. You are so lucky to have her.”

“We were part of a group of 32 of a soccer team, and our grandson's 16th birthday. Besides that, the staff were serving 2 other birthday parties, one being a 100 year old. Every one of the servers were friendly and efficient. Thanks so much for such a pleasant evening.”
“We haven't been to Swiss Chalet in years, but bro wanted to go for the roast beef, which is a temporary special. They don't normally serve beef.
He and hubby both enjoyed it very much. I had a hot chicken sandwich, and sis-in-law had a hot beef sandwich. Both came with 2 sides - I chose fries and Caesar salad - and wow, there was enough food there to keep me going for the next 2 days!
I was expecting the salad to be the size of a side salad, however it looked more like a main dish size. I shared it with hubby.
All the food got top marks from all of us. We ordered dessert, which we don't usually do, but the pictures looked delicious. They didn't lie. The cheese cake is to die for! (I shared mine with hubby because the serving was very generous.)
Not only were we pleased with the food, but the service was great too. The young lady who served us looked after us very well, and with a big friendly smile.
I think we'll be going back again before too long.”
“Best AYCE sushi place I've ever been to hands down. It is really good, the service is fast and the portions are big. The sushi was amazing and their sides and appetizer we're also phenomenal. Without exaggeration, the lamb skewers were the best lamb I've ever tasted, do not sleep on the lamb skewers or the takoyaki.
Highly recommended!”
“Above-par, hard workin' staff that still take a moment to chat you up while mixing 4 shakes and managing the take-out counter. Superhuman Service! Loved my Reuben so much I bought the tshirt in the hopes they'll give me staff rate on my next meal ;) Hearty portions so plenty left to share with a fellow hosteller. 5-Stars, thanks for the comfort food since Winterlude hot chocolates as a kid in the 80s. Best Nostalgia Diner in the City”
“We went for breakfast with my family and everything was great. Great service and attention to customer service. Unbelievable. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone”

“I recently visited the McDonald's on Robertson Road and was very impressed with the management team and staff. Everyone was professional courteous and attentive and the restaurant was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. It's clear the team takes pride and delivering a great customer experience.”
“We were told to seat ourselves and waited 15 minutes before a server came to our table. Once we ordered it was another 30 minutes for our food. Only 1 server was working and the place was busy. Food was excellent however service could have been better.”

“We had a really great experience here! My son is an incredibly picky eater (the struggle is real!), and the staff were so accommodating and patient. Their kindness and willingness to help made such a difference, and we really appreciated it. The service was excellent from everyone we interacted with. They all deserve a raise!”
“I have had a chaotic year, and Shawarma Prince has been the absolute life saver to eat healthy. As a type 1 diabetic, the food here is healthy, low carb and really yummy! I go to the Merivale road location and the staff here are the absolute best! If you are looking for a healthy, affordable, mouth watering meal, this is the place to go...5 out of 5 stars. JJ...”

“I’ve been coming to Sansotei Ramen in Kanata for a while now and it continues to be one of my favourite spots in the city.
A huge shoutout to Kei and the entire team for always providing such an amazing experience. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with friendly service and a great atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal.
The food is consistently outstanding. Every bowl is packed with flavour, prepared with care, and served exactly as you’d expect. You can tell the chefs take pride in their work because the quality is always there, no matter how busy it gets.
What keeps me coming back isn’t just the ramen, it’s the combination of great food, great service, and the positive environment the team creates. Everyone works hard to make guests feel welcome, and it shows.
Thank you to Kei, the chefs, and the entire Sansotei Kanata team for always delivering an amazing experience. Looking forward to many more visits! 🍜👏”
“Always a nice place to eat if I’ve forgot to pack a lunch or after school. Staff are supper friendly and the restaurant looks nice with posters up on the walls. After trying a few burrito chains in Ottawa, this is my favourite! They are usually quite generous with the ingredients and are usually quick to make your food. My brother likes their vegetarian options as well.”
“My Better Half and myself were about to go order a couple pizzas when I noticed Pirho Grill. It looked interesting and she wanted to see what they offered. Since it's Friday, she does not eat meat. She loved the idea that you could build your own bowl and went for the All the Veggies. she especially like the Vegan Baked Zucchini cakes. Myself I got the Spicy lamb Meatballs. Our meals were excellent. She loved it. Told me it was much better than the Cheese or Vegetarian pizza she normally gets on these days and that'll become our goto place on Wednesdays (another day she does not eat meat) and Fridays. Place suits us both as we both can have what we want and eat healthy. She was especially happy with the Staff who were courteous and helpful with explanations and suggestions. Now, if you add some sort of fish to the menu, she'll be in Heaven :P Highly Recommend the place.”
“What truly set this pizza apart was the freshness of the ingredients. The generous amount of paneer chunks scattered across the pizza ensured that each bite was packed with savory goodness. Paired with a variety of fresh vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes, every slice was a colorful mosaic of flavors.”
“Sam and her staff really do care about the clients and their food. Attentive, eager to help, always checking on how things are going & genuinely want to make sure people are happy. Prices are reasonable & the beer is cold. The Sens shuttle is very convenient. A great locally owned place to support & not too far away!! Thanks Sam!”
“I’ve always loved East Side Mario’s, no matter the location, but I will say- the experience here is consistent. Always great staff, & great food.”
Cheap Eats
“Usually service and food is good. Today, july 22 around 2:30 it was someone different. I was only customer and the guy got it wrong. Ordered 2 meat/cheese. When I got home...no cheese. Also, dough was way too thin. And way too much spice. Sorry. It's usually my go to for Lebanese pies, but today's food was not up to snuff.”
“Oh my goodness. I got a vanilla ice cream with waffle cone and chocolate drizzle which was the perfect blend of flavor and crunch. The drizzle was a little messy, but not to worry, they offer lots of wipes and napkins. The seating inside the store and out on the patio were inviting, and the server even offered us a glass of water afterwards. Not your average ice cream shop, but plan to browse around their chocolates for premium goodies.”
“Got a small strawberry creme brule milk. Not everything has tea. They have smoothies too. Came to about $7. The service was good! The prices are about the standard for bubble tea places. It was tasty, the shop was clean, and overall a good first experience. Tons of selection on the menu!”
“I never do reviews, but I thought I had to shout this place out. The staff there were so wonderful last Wednesday night, I think it was the 8th or something that I’m still thinking about it. They were so kind and accommodating to me and I really appreciated it! That’s what real service should look like. Thank you❤”
“Great pho the different styles of beef were thicker then usual places and extremley tender. Large portion of food and broth was great. Two phos came out within 2 minutes. Great staff and vibe. Better then the pho on somerset for many reasons. Glad i found today with coworker”
“This review comes from an Uber eats order I made.
Heres what i ordered:
Pad Thai, shrimp; "very" spicy and "extra sauce".
And, it's what I got. I'd say the spice level on their most spicy option is like a medium spice, just FYI. For me, it's perfect as it doesn't take away from the eating experience, it's spicy but, you get the full flavor of the sauce and it's delicious.
Loved what I got. Thank you to the team!”
“Great place to eat and talk over Drinks! Well run eatery with personable Owner who seems to always be there working along side her staff! Food is always well prepared and tasty! Our go to place!!!”
“The food is excellent and the service is A1. We were given a tour of the Beer Brewing process and there is far more to making beer than we had any idea of. Thank you for the tour. We love coming here.”
“Sam and her staff really do care about the clients and their food. Attentive, eager to help, always checking on how things are going & genuinely want to make sure people are happy. Prices are reasonable & the beer is cold. The Sens shuttle is very convenient. A great locally owned place to support & not too far away!! Thanks Sam!”
“Food is always hot and delicious. My local go-to in Kanata for Chinese takeout.”
“Amazing Cobb, tomato and flavorful salad, topped with chicken. Super fresh and delicious lunch.
The place is tucked in a Workspace called Head Office. Head inside and you will be directed to the Bistro.
Added bonus was watching the pooches that are welcome.”
“Food was delicious and portions were liberal.
We ordered the creamy chicken curry, cumin pork and the cabbage golden soup (not in picture). Weve also had their grandma pork and eggs and their mappo tofu.
Seems like a hidden gem, since it doesn’t get all the busy but is a good contender for Asian restaurants in Kanata.”

“Visited for a patio dinner on a Saturday evening. Good menu, clean venue, wait staff pleasant, food was good! But I have to point out a major faux-pas. I ordered the deep fried cheesecake for dessert. It was supposed to come with strawberry and chocolate sauce & whip cream. They were out of strawberry sauce but didn't mention it when I ordered and so was not given the option to choose something else. Another restaurant runner dropped it off with NO toppings whatsoever... I thought the toppings might come after, but after a while ate it as it was (it was good but would have been so much better with even only one of the toppings) Finally when our bill came, we mentioned that the dessert had no toppings. We were told the waitress was new and didn't realize.... I get that... but what I wasn't expecting was that we still had to pay full price for the dessert---no discount, no other offer. That was very disappointing service... I suppose I could have complained or asked to speak to a "manager" but at that point just really wanted to leave. Because everything else about the restaurant was good---and so happy it's even Canadian---we will return... hoping for a better experience”

“Wife and I went here on July 13th for lunch. Everything was very good. Food, service & atmosphere was great. My problem is $12 for a glass of beer, $24 for 2 beer. I don’t remember paying that for beer ever before anywhere. It doesn’t matter how it’s poured, who pours it or what you put it in, it’s beer. It’s no better, no worse than anywhere else. Same beer as the next place. I can get 3, 18 oz. glasses of beer here in Arnprior for $12. Will never pay that again.”

“For the second year in a row my girlfriend and I have taken a snowmobile ride to the brookstreet hotel where we’ve sat down for a meal at the Options Jazz Lounge. The atmosphere is amazing and they were super accommodating allowing us to store our large helmets next to our table. The live music makes for an amazing atmosphere and the Caesar salad it incredible. I highly recommend.”
“My daughter is collecting the current Happy Meal toys and Avery was an angel. She went through what was available, and what we already had to make sure we could decide what to buy. 11 toys and 4 Happy Meals latet, our daughter was tickled pink! Thank you Avery for being patient, friendly, non-judgmental (at least out loud, lol) and determined! Thank you McDonald’s Canada for hiring a wonderful person.”

“Ribs were great, burnt ends were too dry, but our waiter Matt, fixed that by bringing out another batch which weren't dry. Great place, atmosphere and service.”
