“On average we get take out from Sula Wok once per week. We love the food and the vibe of the place. (Sula and her gang are also very nice to deal with). I really like the traditional Pad Thai. Recently, Sula asked that I try a slightly new version of the dish (apparently less fishy). Sula asked that I let her know if I liked it or not. While I thought the taste was a little different (maybe not as spicy or “fishy”), I still loved it and will be ordering it again.”

Moul Hanout 1581 Bank St, Ottawa Moroccan • $

“Dining at Moul Hanout in Ottawa was an unforgettable experience that transported me straight to Morocco. From the moment I stepped into the cozy eatery, I was greeted with the warm hospitality of owners Souhail Bouachri and Kawtar Boutbaa, a husband-and-wife duo from Essaouira. Their passion for authentic Moroccan cuisine shines through in every dish. I savored the chicken tajine, a delightful combination of tender chicken, olives, and fries, all simmered in a flavorful sauce. The seafood pastilla was equally impressive, with a crisp pastry enveloping a generous filling of shrimp and vermicelli noodles. Each meal was complemented by a complimentary cup of refreshing Moroccan mint tea. The owners' stories of their hometown and their commitment to preserving Moroccan culinary traditions made the dining experience even more special. Whether you're a connoisseur of Moroccan cuisine or a newcomer eager to explore, Moul Hanout offers a genuine taste of Morocco that feels like a home away from home.”

“Visited Montana's 13th November 2022 with a group of 7 other people. The atmosphere was good, enjoyed pre-dinner drinks and conversation, followed by our server taking our meal order. She was very efficient and ensured all our needs were met. The order took longer than expected to arrive, and when it did, the food was just warm. We explained to the server who was apologetic, the food was heated to our satisfaction, and enjoyed by all. We were visited by the Manager In order to make sure everything was to our satisfaction, following the issue we had experienced. She very kindly told us she was giving us a reduction on the total price as a sign of goodwill, and also provided free dessert for the group. I would say that was an excellent show of hospitality on the part of Montana's, and we will definitely be arranging future visits.”

“I recommend Kettlemans as the food is good and they have good variety. That said. The service is sub-par. My wife and I stop here regularly on Sunday Mornings about 7 am 2 or 3 times a month. Consistently nobody greets us even though there are many workers who make eye contact and just keep doing whatever they're doing. More often than not we have to call out to get attention after waiting several minutes at the front counter. Management doesn't seem to value customer service and simply expects people to keep coming back as if Kettlemans' history entitles them to customers. That is a surprising attitude in an otherwise excellent store.”

“My absolute FAVOURITE shawarma place. Can't sing its praises enough. Extremely friendly staff, generous portions (no stinginess with the meat!), fresh and delicious food, all very reasonably priced. Family run place, I think there's exactly one employee there who isn't part of the family.

While I usually get a beef shawarma wrap or plate here, I NEED to shout out the falafel - it's by far the best falafel I've had in the city. Not the best I've had period, but for Ottawa it goes hard as hell. Wish I knew about this place for the 13 years I was vegetarian, because it would've been a lifesaver. None of that dry stuff that plagues this city. Pretty sure the mom makes it.

New Sushi 2288 Tenth Line Rd c6, Ottawa Sushi • $

“I'm from Toronto and I was craving takoyaki. I got the poke bowl, takoyaki and 2 pieces spicy salmon. I tried everything right away in the car first then took it home

The takoyaki was what I expected, super yummy.
I think the fish was good. The sushi rice was a lot harder than I'm used to, not as fluffy. Maybe should have a bit more water

The poke bowl, the ingredients were good but it was missing some flavor. I realized there wasn't any spicy mayo.

I'm thinking the food could be made for the demographic since this is decently away from downtown and some my friends like less fluffy rice and the spicy mayo might be too strong for some people.

I would definitely make it optional to add spicy mayo for the poke bowl and tempura bits but I love the texture of them so that's a personal preference”

“We received a gift card from a family member for $100 USD as a Christmas Present and were excited about enjoying a meal at this restaurant. The gift card was purchased directly from Joey's, not a 3rd party. We went and everything initially about the restaurant was very enjoyable. The food was very good, the service was attentive and we enjoyed our experience until the cheque arrived. When we we presented the gift card (electronically) our server went to speak with a ⁶manager and then returned to inform us that the $100 USD would be honoured in Canadian dollars. $100 USD is worth $144.50 Canadian dollars according to google when checked today. We paid the bill and tipped the service team 22% and left after effectively having $44.50 taken from us and our family member in what felt like to us, theft by conversion. The manager in question did not come to follow up after our expressing our disappointment JOEY's is already a very expensive restaurant. Further, the gift card information indicates that Joey's has US based restaurants. I'm quite sure that Canadian dollar gift cards are not accepted at par in the US. This ruined for us, what was otherwise a positive experience, through what felt like to us, an act of corporate greed and impersonal profiteering. After this experience we will not be back and sadly, I cannot recommend JOEY's as a place for anyone else to dine at. Any company that sells a gift card directly and then fails to deliver full value is patently dishonest, in my opinion.”

“The staff at Dinette Atomique clearly take pride in the food they serve up and and its flavours. The menu reflects fusion of south asian flavours with a range of other dishes and for the most part things work well. The only improvement I can think of would be to strengthen the use of herbs such as cilantro and mint that really do give flavour twists that make this style of cooking already stand out. The spring rolls were excellent but departed from most spring rolls in that they were more like sausages with fewer vegetable ingredients. Although this made them heavier than expected they were still excellent. The Crispy Rice Cake Hash was also well put together and unique. The restaurant is full of finishing touches like the chef's own hot sauce and ketchup etc - all rounding out a unique food experience. I would definitely return to try some more items from the menu and the atmosphere is unique and melds closely with the second hand shop next door!”

The buffet was delectable with abundant choice of fresh salads and traditional Pakistani/Indian recipes. The butter chicken was delicious and tender. The tandoori and beef dishes were done to perfection. And there was more than enough choice for vegetarians. The pricing is great and the friendly serving staff most helpful. Ask for their wonderful garlic and red pepper hot sauce. Heavenly!”

Al's Diner 834 Clyde Avenue North, Ottawa Family • $

“BLTs Jj Goode, updated; New York Times, August 3, 2026 A BLT for any season, this version doesn’t depend on the perfect tomato, nor bacon with pedigree, for that matter. Instead, it leans on a few details that can elevate the lowliest ingredients. Slathering one side of bread with mayo and griddling it gives supermarket white a crackling veneer, while leaving the rest suitably soft and squishy. Sprinkling the tomato with salt and letting it sit a while helps the seasoning penetrate. Baking the bacon leaves it stick-straight (so the sandwich is less likely to topple), while pulling it from the oven before it’s fully crisp keeps it a little fatty. A slab of iceberg — cut crosswise from the whole head (preferably from the center) — is a game-changer, ensuring the sandwich's structural integrity and delivering exceptional crunch. Whenever I have a bad day and don’t know what to eat. Where do I go? Al’s Diner. Why? Because the BLT sandwich there is made exactly as described above. The method is a version assimilated from the best. The white bread is perfectly toasted with lots of mayonnaise. The bacon is perfectly grilled so that it is juicy and crisp. The tomato is a huge slice, just firm enough and the lettuce is several layers of the iceberg variety. Our favorite server seats us in our favorite place when we appear! We feel better as soon as we take the first bite!!”

Mamma Teresa Ristorante 300 Somerset Street West, Ottawa Italian • $$$

“I had not seen my brother from another mother in almost 3 years so when he visited Ottawa this past weekend I made a dinner reservation for Sunday night. I made this reservation, partly on some reviews I had seen and having eaten the lobster ravioli previously as a takeout menu option. The restaurant is in a beautiful century home with photos adjoining the walls of all the famous politicians, musicians, and other stars from Ottawa or having eaten there while visiting the capital that have eaten there. The service was exceptional, the waiter stopped by every few minutes to top up our water or ask if we needed anything. Onto the food… We found the food to be pedestrian at Best. I would’ve rated it at 3.8 and my dinner companion at 3.4 but we do not have those options here. My lobster ravioli had a sauce that was heavy enough to anchor a boat although it offered a nice flavour pallet. His veal was similar, tender with a nice mushroom sauce however it was overly salted. I recommend this place as long as you know what you’re getting ahead of time. The prices are on the high side, but certainly not the most expensive in the Ottawa region.”

“For the past couple of years, I have been a regular customer at Indian Food Hub, and I can confidently say it is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. The food is consistently outstanding, full of authentic flavors, and prepared with great care. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. What truly makes Indian Food Hub special, however, is the wonderful hospitality of Manoj Kumar and his wife. They are friendly, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely passionate about their restaurant. Over time, they have become much more than restaurant owners to me—they are people I look forward to seeing whenever I visit. The restaurant offers an excellent combination of delicious food, great service, a warm atmosphere, and outstanding value. It is clear that Manoj and his wife care deeply about their customers and work hard to make everyone feel appreciated and at home. I would highly recommend Indian Food Hub to anyone looking for authentic Indian cuisine and an exceptional dining experience. If you have not visited yet, you are missing out on both fantastic food and wonderful people.”

“Had dinner with a friend a couple of days ago and had an overall good experience but there was room for improvement. I ordered the coquilles st jacques. While the scallops were cooked well the purée lacked flavour.. missing that hit of cheese. I had to use some lemon to liven the dish a bit. My friend had the streak frites, medium rare that came rare. We had the kitchen bring to temp. I had a bite and it was tender and flavourful. I will return to try more from the menu and see how it goes. A great place either way for atmosphere and drinks.”

The food was amazing, but what really stood out to me was the service. The staff was warm, attentive and seemed genuinely aware of what might make our evening easier and more enjoyable. At one point the chef even sent out a little vegetarian sushi roll for our son to try which was such a thoughtful surprise.

“The staff at Dinette Atomique clearly take pride in the food they serve up and and its flavours. The menu reflects fusion of south asian flavours with a range of other dishes and for the most part things work well. The only improvement I can think of would be to strengthen the use of herbs such as cilantro and mint that really do give flavour twists that make this style of cooking already stand out. The spring rolls were excellent but departed from most spring rolls in that they were more like sausages with fewer vegetable ingredients. Although this made them heavier than expected they were still excellent. The Crispy Rice Cake Hash was also well put together and unique. The restaurant is full of finishing touches like the chef's own hot sauce and ketchup etc - all rounding out a unique food experience. I would definitely return to try some more items from the menu and the atmosphere is unique and melds closely with the second hand shop next door!”
