“Delicious Dal Fry and Kardai Chicken. Rich flavour and texture on both. (But I will skip the raita next time -- too watery!)”
“Delicious food and good ambience are the definition for this restaurant. Everything was perfect. Feels like eating in India after a long time.
Vegetarian options: Paneer tikka and veg Manchurian”
“Had a lovely evening at Cafe Tehran this week with a small group of friends. We all loved what we ordered, from the traditional Iranian soup, to the chicken kebabs, to the Ghormeh Sabzi Stew, to the DIZI. Beautiful flavours and perfect tummy warming food in this cold weather. Highly recommend and the servings are HUGE.”
“Nice spot with a cozy, lively atmosphere definitely a popular place, so I’d recommend booking in advance. Service was okay; nothing to complain about, but nothing particularly memorable either.
I asked the waiter for a recommendation between the lamb shank and the boeuf bourguignon, and he said both were good. I went with the lamb shank. The portion was generous, but taste-wise it was just okay not especially memorable considering the price point.
Surprisingly, the sides stole the show. The dauphinoise potatoes and seasonal vegetables were absolutely delicious and ended up being the highlight of the plate.
Overall, Ratatouille is worth visiting for the ambiance and sides, but if you're going for the lamb, you might want to consider trying something else on the menu.”

“We had two different pizzas and both were perfectly done. Fresh tasting ingredients and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!”
“I’ve been ordering from Bytown Tiffin for the past month, and it’s been fantastic! The food always tastes homemade and fresh, with a great variety to keep things interesting. Delivery is super reliable, and the whole service is really convenient. If you’re looking for a solid tiffin service, Bytown Tiffin is definitely worth trying!”
“I find it tough to find good take-out salads. I just had a delicious spinach with feta, pumpkin seeds and cranberries salad from Pop’s. So good!”
“Not enough words to describe how happy I was. Ordered for a work lunch. The food came exactly on time, hot and very well packaged. It came with table cards to tell everyone what the dish was, spice level and if it was Vegas etc. it tasted better than the fabulous smell of it. I will be using them again!! Online ordering was super simple and explained the dishes well. 10/10 recommend.
Dietary restrictions: Loved that halal was an option”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast buffet. There was a delightful selection of pastries and 4 types of homemade preserves, fresh fruit, eggs, bacon, turkey, ham, sausage, potatoes, cheeses, cereals, yogurt amongst other delightfully items. It was $20 which included your beverage also. I highly recommend this breakfast buffet. 😊”
“we both had the Lobster Spaghetti. so good. going to try the tower next time.”
“We had two different pizzas and both were perfectly done. Fresh tasting ingredients and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!”
“Food was very good. I had the beet, apple and ginger soup, arancini and tres leche tiramisu. All dishes I would order again. My dining mates had the short rib and the duck - both great as well. Service was very good. My only comment would be the side order of bread was okay.”

“Went here for our 2nd wedding anniversary. A very delicious widespread of food! We were not disappointed. Amazing customer service, cute drinks, and yummy food. What more could we ask for?! One of our favourites was their unique dinner for two, fried chicken pizza and salad! Very filling, a good contrast, and not greasy! We will definitely be back!”
“This spot has incredible ramen - it’s my absolute favourite in town!
Their broth’s are incredibly rich, but no overpowering. The noodles are chewy with a bit of bite, and the picked ginger really adds to the flavours in the black garlic ramen.”
“My family really loves to eat here.I celebrated my birthday tonight and we had fun we’re all satisfied.It is worth the price!!I also appreciate Sherry for serving us.She is really nice and patient even if we never stopped ordering.Thank you so much!!”

“we went here for Father's day and was greatly pleased. The smoked meat was fresh and delicious. fries and onion rings were great. It was clean and the service was awesome. all the staff and kind and pleasant. it was a great experience, would highly recommend and will go back.”
“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.”
“Best food and best service ever! We love this neighbourhood institution.”
“The cauliflower torta was delicious, also shared the fries (they can leave off the crema and cotija to make them vegan). It was a lot of food, next time we’ll plan to take leftovers home. Their spicy margarita was also great, they use cucumber in there so there’s a nice cooling element to it. It’s a small space so make sure to make a reservation.”
24 Hour Restaurants
“There's never been a problem with the quality of the servers and the wait isn't too long, but am I the only one wondering why Timmy's doesn't cut our bagels in half anymore?
Besides that, lately the food has been well above par here. My bagel has not only had enough cream cheese but its also been spread evenly across the entire surface!!! Morning bagels have been absolute FIRE!!!
-Don't you just love it when you go to take a bite of your bagel and there's nothing but a butter thin layer of cream cheese and not enough to spread around!?- Not here!!!”
“There is an employee who stands out and shines bright among the rest.I’ve been inside of that location more times than I can count.Alisha Goes above and beyond each and every single time and I Can’t t say enough good things about her as she continues to deliver service with a smile. just a very pleasant person to deal with!”
“Best A&W I’ve been to. It’s nice and open with tall ceilings right when you walk in, and a nice patio out front.
The food was super fresh and the burgers were juicy. Definitely recommend sitting in and having your drink in a CHILLED MUG, a first for me in fast food.
They have a nice beverage and condiment area which has a handwashing sink and direct access to the dishwasher to give your dishes back.
Overall a nice experience. For some reason the floors are super slippery when wet, so maybe more rugs near the door and ordering area would help.
Dietary restrictions: They offer free lettuce wraps on their sandwiches. Great for people with gluten intolerances or are on a low carb diet!”
“I went in with my little sister, took a while ordering the food, but the cashier was super nice and helpful. We didn’t know how to open the door for the bathroom and he was more then happy to help with that too
Kid-friendliness: Great patience when he came to my little sister ordering her food”
“We ordered takeout last night, and loved it! The portions were very generous, and everything was delicious. The service was excellent too;our order was ready quickly and the hostess was very pleasant and helpful. We will definitely be ordering here again.”
“First time trying the pizza here at Giovanni’s Snack Bar and Pizzeria. Absolutely delicious!! Ordered the Margarita Pizza. Giovanni was extremely kind from the moment I walked in until I left today. I would highly recommend choosing Giovanni’s the next time you are craving pizza or when you’re in the area!”

Takeout Restaurants
“I was craving shawarma and found this place on my way home from work. I'm new to Ottawa and my shawarma standards are high because my hometown has amazing shawarma that no other spots have come close to and I've tried many places already in Ottawa. Let me tell you, this place DID NOT DISSAPOINT! Amazing shawarma every bit of it! I will definitely be returning. The best I've had in Ottawa by FAR!”
“My family enjoyed a take-out meal last night from Sula Wok. I would describe it as incredibly tasty, evocative flavours, large portion sizes and generally a fantastic gastronomical delight! The chicken samosas were the best I have had anywhere in Ottawa, in short - awesome. The mango-ginger sauce for the samosas was also exceptional. My entrèe was the Tibetan Fried noodles with tofu. The portion was generous and carefully prepared. The spices were delightful, the vegetables were fresh, plentiful and throughout the meal rather than just placed on top. Every bite was delicious. Thank you Sula Wok for the best take-out meal I have enjoyed in years! I highly recommend this restaurant. It definitely deserves a five star rating.”
“First time trying the pizza here at Giovanni’s Snack Bar and Pizzeria. Absolutely delicious!! Ordered the Margarita Pizza. Giovanni was extremely kind from the moment I walked in until I left today. I would highly recommend choosing Giovanni’s the next time you are craving pizza or when you’re in the area!”
“Had just the best, freshest dinner this week there . The staff are so helpful and it was fun getting to have a “ bowl” with exactly what you want to eat! The owner was actually there very pleasant man. Interesting and truly a delight. I never heard of this place or been there and I’m really really happy I found out about it. I’ll be back for sure.. thank you Mad Radish for a healthy great dinner at a reasonable price.”
“I ordered from uber eats so I can’t really say much about atmosphere but service and food were both amazing!! Sushi was fresh and delicious. I would definitely go out of my way to eat here again.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Ate here 2 nights in a row and ate the exact same meal both nights. I had the butter fish crudo and the tartare. Flavours in both were super yummy. Atmosphere was really nice too. I didn’t have any of the cocktails but was watching them make them and they all looked so good!!”
“Great food and quick service at a reasonable price. Staff were friendly and the portions were huge. The taste was also very authentic. The only problems were atmosphere and cleanliness. I can give the dirty bathroom that seems to be doubling as a storage locker a pass, as that seems to be the norm even at high-end Chinese places, but the music was really a pain. We went in the early evening when there was only a few tables - mostly couples on dates - but for some reason they were playing really loud, bad electronic club music with really trashy, exploitative videos of girls "dancing" in sleazy-looking night-clubs. Maybe they primarily have a student clientele this appeals to? But I've never seen something like it in a Chinese restaurant in either North America or Asia before, and it came across as really trashy and damaged what was otherwise a great experience. Consider keeping that stuff for later at night, if at all. I would have given them five stars without this issue.”
“Tried this ramen spot recently and really enjoyed it! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the noodles had a great texture. The ambience is warm and inviting—perfect for a cozy meal. Service was friendly and attentive. My only gripe is that they only offer pork options—NO chicken or seafood, which limits choices for those with dietary preferences. Still, if you're a pork ramen fan, it's definitely worth a visit!”
“Was there with my mother for lunch. The mixed grill for 2 is absolutely incredible.
We were served by a lovely young gentleman by the name of Kerem who provided us with the best service we have had in a restaurant in recent memory. Absolutely love this place.”
“AMAZING food! High quality Restaurant food for a take out. Try the eggplant quorma, or lamb shank or the shami platters. So so so good, can’t recommend this place enough!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had the chance to celebrate my birthday at Aiana Restaurant Collective, and I have to say that the experience was exceptional from start to finish.
First of all, a huge thank you to Oliwer, our server, who provided impeccable service, combining professionalism, courtesy and great attention to detail. He knew how to make our evening smooth and pleasant, with precise recommendations and great energy. Special mention also to the bartender, who was generous enough to capture precious moments between my girlfriend and I with a Polaroid, a thoughtful gesture that really marked this special evening.
🍽️ The Meal
Aiana’s cuisine is a true tribute to quality ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors.
🥩 Entries:
- Pig 🍏: A tasty dish where the sweetness of the apple and the texture of the quinoa enhance the richness of the pork, all enhanced by a delicate Robert Sauce.
- Salmon 🐟: A balanced and refined plate, with perfectly cooked lentils and a tangy touch of sea buckthorn which gives a beautiful depth of taste.
- Partridge 🍁: A magnificent discovery! The meat was tender, accompanied by an original combination of plantain, cabbage and a subtle touch of jalapeño.
- Halibut 🍊: A light and delicate dish, with a perfectly executed sauce that highlighted the finesse of the fish.
🍰 Dessert:
Nanaimo 🍫🥥: A revisited and sophisticated version of the classic, with melting textures and an explosion of flavors between chocolate and coconut.
And to top it all off, the little tartlet offered as a birthday surprise was a delicate touch that really touched me!
⭐️ The Experience
Beyond the meal, it is the entire experience that makes Aiana unique:
-High-end and personalized service
- Elegant and intimate atmosphere, perfect for a special evening
- Special attentions that make all the difference
This restaurant combines refinement, human warmth and exceptional gastronomy. A must-see address in Ottawa for lovers of haute cuisine and memorable moments.
I will come back without hesitation!

“My experience was amazing. The food and service was genuinely outstanding. I was blown away by the customer service and friendliness of the staff. The server had impeccable knowledge of the menu and the food was to die for. I would definitely 10/10 recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to be blown away by a local restaurant with unique interior and delicious one of kind cuisine.”
“As a wedding photographer, I always want couples to walk away from events with a little treat that leaves a lasting impression – and Batter Up Bakery absolutely delivered! I ordered a batch of custom cookies for a wedding venue open house, and they were a huge hit with everyone who attended. Jamie-Lynn nailed the simple, elegant design I envisioned, and the cookies tasted absolutely delicious. Working with her was such a joy – she’s attentive, creative, and so easy to communicate with. If you're looking for sweet treats that look and taste amazing, I can't recommend Batter Up Bakery enough! 🌟”

Cheap Eats
“Was recommended this place to come pick up sandwiches when we had the Ontario volleyball championships here a few weeks ago.
Definitely a recommend and a must when visiting Ottawa. Can see why this is probably the number one sandwich spot in Ottawa.
The meat is fresh and they sandwiches are loaded.
It’s also a big bang for your buck. Very great value at $10 taxes in for any sandwich on the menu. And when i was carrying the bag, can i just say, these were heavy little guys too!
They also take online orders so you can have it ready to be picked up when you go.
Oh, also the cannolis. One of the best I’ve had in awhile. And do t get one, you’re gonna regret not getting a second one.
Service was decent and you might be skeptical when you first walk in as it looks like an old school convenience store. But everyone was so impressed with the sandwich. The coaches even asked to have it a second time around for the second day.
Parking is tough if there’s a lot of people. There’s a small parking lot but looks like many people also park on the street to make a quick stop to pick up and go. So highly recommend placing your orders online.
Also got a veal sandwich which was great but i believe the sandwich is the star of the show here.
Great job overall!”
“What a lovely and warm experience! I went there for the first time today and was greeted with a welcoming employee who gave me wonderful and delicious recommendations to try. Beautiful hand crafted desserts and cozy atmosphere, even with fresh flowers on the tables!”
“Taco 🌮 Tuesdays are a great deal. Chicken or beef, both are delicious. Everything is very fresh. The tortilla soup is epic, it's my favourite. They are easy to find, have ample parking, as well as picnic tables if you want to eat there. Fast, efficient, and the food is made by a man who is as talented as he is kind.”
“My wife and my favourite food in the world are meat and cheese pies. Everyone needs to try these pies and then add them to their lives as a staple food. There’s nothing like ordering pies and eating them right away in your car. So flavourful, so gooey and cheesy. Get them with spice and lemon juice, Omg! I feel like I’m writing an erotic novel rather than a review but they are that amazing!”
“WOW great food, great atmosphere and most of all our server Kady was phenomenal! Very respectful, kind, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and cocktails. Would definitely recommend this location in Ottawa and ask for Kady!!! 💕 🍹🍸”
“Truly authentic and delicious Vietnamese cuisine. Have tried many dishes, and each one did not disappoint. The staff are amazing and friendly. I highly recommend this hidden gem.”
“The perfect downtown Ottawa pub, great crowd, friendly staff and the best, best BEST burger in town !”
“Hungry Human menu item are delicious and very filling. Easily splitable and you pick two sides. I skipped breakfast and had the item for lunch. I will be full till 6:00 pm at least. Very good.”
“Tried this ramen spot recently and really enjoyed it! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the noodles had a great texture. The ambience is warm and inviting—perfect for a cozy meal. Service was friendly and attentive. My only gripe is that they only offer pork options—NO chicken or seafood, which limits choices for those with dietary preferences. Still, if you're a pork ramen fan, it's definitely worth a visit!”
“Super cool spot first time coming in, food and drinks were good we got chicken nachos and a couple drinks, totally recommend for a date night or with a couple friends”
“If you like trying new foods, beers, and cocktails, this is one of the best places to eat in Ottawa. Dishes are original and delicious. It's one of our favourite places to eat.”
“Definitely a hidden gem in Ottawa. The restaurant has really good, friendly service and really minimum wait time. We were here for my sister’s birthday, ordered mostly beef but they were all marinated well, super tasty! The portion here is also pretty big, we had 5 people and didn’t expect the food to be this much due to our past experience from other BBQ places in Ottawa. The restaurant’s environment was also really nice and not loud, suitable for gatherings.”
“Great thin crust fresh pizza! Loved the mushroom one we ate it to fast to snap a picture 😂 it’s called the “Bank” mushroom pizza. Eat it fresh while it’s hot to truly enjoy!!”
“Visited the Stoney Creek Mountain location - the food was fresh and delicious. The staff were very polite and attentive. The restaurant was clean and tidy. We suggested they play authentic music - even though their music list was nice. Will definitely return!”
“The absolute best of the best!!!! The cocktails were delicious, the tartar was out of this world, the bread, the main meal… so very satisfied!”
“Amuse was such a special treat this evening for our anniversary!. so glad we finally got to try this little gem in Bridlewood. Service was excellent and the food was spectacular! we will be back!”
“Ate here for the first time to celebrate our 36th Anniversary. The food was excellent and the staff very friendly. We felt like very special guests. We will return.”
“Delicious drink, awesome staff, hyped to come back and try the crepes!”
“Fantastic food, beautiful presentation, great service, and tasty cocktails!”
“Came in last night for my girlfriend’s birthday and had an excellent time. The pizza was fantastic. Our drinks were very well made, excellent boulevardier. I’m not usually a a big fan of olives but the olive and salami appetizer was fantastic as well. Love that they source from Luciano’s. Fantastic little spot with a great atmosphere.”
“We enjoyed our dining experience very much! The ambiance and service was fantastic! The food was fresh and delicious with excellent size portions! Highly recommend!”
“Love the fried chicken! Such wonderful attention to detail in the food, packaging, and service.”
“Got a Large Hand-Pulled beef noodle with 3-pull noodles. Also got spicy beef on the side.
Noodles have a satisfying texture. The broth is light but flavorful. The green onion and cilantro garnishes are fresh.
Spicy beef side dish came with sliced onions, which added to the flavor.
I recommend this restaurant for those looking for Chinese noodles.”
“Nikaila was such a wonderful server! She helped our large group with everything we needed. She was friendly and personable! Will definitely come again because of her.”
“What a discovery to walk into Carlingwood Mall in the West End of Ottawa, Ontario and find this hidden gem of a restaurant. 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!”
“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.”
“great space, awesome knowledgeable staff, incredible wine list and they were even able to accommodate a fussy vegan with fresh flavourful food.”
“First time ordering take out. Everything was fantastic, no regrets. Thanks you for creating a fantastic meal for friends.”
“the best without a doubt! can't wait for our next visit! from the sauces to the meats to even the drinks. everything is delicious!”
“Takeout-only sushi spot! One of the best bang-for-your-buck sushi places. The fish is fresh, the portions are generous, and the food is prepared with great care.”
“I had the pleasure of trying the Shuizhu Rou Pian here, and it was incredible! The meat was perfectly tender, and the broth was packed with bold, aromatic flavors that really brought out the spice. The balance between the heat and the savory richness was just right—spicy but not overwhelming. The vegetables were fresh and crisp, adding a nice texture to the dish. If you’re a fan of authentic Sichuan cuisine, this is a must-try! I’ll definitely be back for more.”
“Lisa was the best!! We had such an awesome time here, and the food was amazing! I recommend this place to anyone, the atmosphere was wonderful. I felt like I was in Montana 🏕️”
“Excellent service. Food amazing especially the crêpe. Very warm atmosphere. Will definitely go back 😊”
“We have visited twice so far and the food is always délicieux. We can't get enough of the Rosebowl Platter for 2. Can't go wrong with this option. You get a little bit of everything.”
“The service and the quality was great. We got some chicken peta wraps. The staff was so kind. They even offered a glass of water while waiting for the food pickup.”
“Super nice service and very delicious food. The carbonara was a bit of a surprise for me, as I lived for a while in Italy, but never had a Carbonara with onions before,... but maybe it's a variaty of a specific Italian region 😅😎 which I haven't heard of 🤔 Overall : it's a five star experience with brilliant staff and atmosphere 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 👍🎉❤️”
“This is one of the best restaurants in Ottawa! Very welcoming staff, excellent quality and portions with affordable cost. Add to this the location, availability of parking, and the cozy atmosphere. 10/10”
“The best Italian food. “My fav.” Family business , and local. You really can’t go wrong here. Bring your whole family here, a date even. It will definitely impress everyone. Thank you to the whole team. Nothing went unnoticed 💗🤗”
“Incredibly delicious pizza! The crust is pretty special…light and crispy but not overly done. High quality toppings. It’s evident that a lot of care and pride goes into their cooking.”
“Their spicy pork (제육볶음) hit so good. Food is very authentic straight out of Seoul. Highly recommended. Clean and comfortable atmosphere. Kind and pretty staff.”
“Went to celebrate my birthday what a great choice. The service was excellent, The food was beautiful presented and the taste was amazing. Not our first visit and won't be our last.”
“Ate here 2 nights in a row and ate the exact same meal both nights. I had the butter fish crudo and the tartare. Flavours in both were super yummy. Atmosphere was really nice too. I didn’t have any of the cocktails but was watching them make them and they all looked so good!!”
“My daughters took me here for a birthday meal to eat my favourite food which is Korean and I was not disappointed at all. Efficient service, wonderful staff and most of all delicious food. I also want to add the mango/grapefruit splash drink was amazingly good.”
“I recently visited Browns Crafthouse-Glebe to catch up with a high school friend, and it was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was lively, thanks to the live music, which added a fun vibe to our evening. Although it was a bit loud, I’ll know to request a table further from the singer next time.
The service was exceptional. I asked our server to surprise me with a cold alcoholic drink, and he delivered a super refreshing and delicious choice. What I appreciated most was the balance they struck between being attentive and giving us space. We never felt rushed or interrupted, which made our catch-up session even more enjoyable.
The food was another highlight. Everything was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. Browns Crafhouse-Glebe truly made us feel welcomed and comfortable. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great night out with friends!”
“Excellent food and friendly service. Thanks for making our trip to Ottawa that much more enjoyable!”
“We had a great experience with our online order of 2 chicken grills. The food was ready to be picked up about 30 minutes after the order. The chicken grills were plentiful and absolutely delicious. A great experience!”
“Great food, family business, real nice people that care.
Parking: Sizzling platters a must!
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes wheel chair accessible
Free parking
Excellent soups ie. Hot and sour.”
“I went to celebrate a special day and loved the overall experience. I will definitely visit this place again. Loved the food, loved the decor, loved the overall ambiance. The restaurant has very creative sushi & Japanese dishes to try. Only downside is the place is very small.”
“I cannot emphasize enough how the service at Mill St. Pub is remarkable! I had my second yearly event there last night and they are amazing! From the beginning of the planning with Christine to the on site staff who greeted and waited on us like we were family to the food that was absolutely delicious! The ambiance, the beauty of the building and the warmth of the staff make it the perfect place for any gathering! Thank you all soooo much! I have already booked for next year! 🙏🙏🙏 Kelly-Ann Nolan XX”
“Amazing experience! First time going and were amazed on not only the great service but atmosphere! And as it was my wife’s birthday the chef came out not only with a complimentary dessert but blew us away with his happy birthday singing performance. We will absolutely be back, worth the hour drive for this experience! Oh and the food and dessert were absolutely amazing 11/10 and 6 stars to this place!”
“This place is open 24/7 ! They gave a lot of food for the price and it was good food so I appreciated that. I’ve never seen a sandwich with a bun layer in the middle, interesting still yummy.”
“Amazing service when Uber eats messed up. They delivered the missing food themselves👍🏼”
“Bought the Christmas dinner this year and it blew everyone's minds. The video was lovely and it was easy to put together. Just Delish and super good value! Impressed. Also the white truffle labneh - insane. Thank you Chef!”
“Went with my girlfriends in the evening! Had appetizers and main dish. Delicious and served fresh and warm! The Pad Thai and Pho is excellent! Try the deep fried bananas with a drizzle of honey and topped with crushed peanuts!”
“Ottawa's Premier Sports bar for sure. Come watch all the live action everyday. 2024 Euro action in full swing. Come cheer on Team Canada on as they make history this Friday at 9pm. Center Screen with Sound.”
“We went tonight for our friend’s birthday. Food was amazing, drinks were good, service was excellent. 10/10 recommend. Note it is small inside, very quaint. As a person with a young baby, I won’t be bringing her (my daughter) there; we’ll keep it for a date night 😅”
“I had the pleasure of dining at Kuidaore Izakaya and it was an incredible experience! I ordered the vegan ramen and it was absolutely delicious—flavorful, rich, and satisfying in every bite. The service was 10/10, with kind and attentive staff who made the whole experience even better. The decoration and atmosphere of the restaurant were also a solid 10/10—cozy, stylish, and full of character. A must-visit for any ramen lover, especially if you're looking for great vegan options!”
“Amazing food! So delicious and the presentation is wonderful! A wonderful place for a night out with loved ones or friends”
“Amazing staff, super friendly, and ready to help without being pushy or overbearing. The menu is varied, fairly priced and the pizza especially is *chefs kiss*. Popular enough the taps are always fresh and something new to try frequently. Love coming for a drink and meal enough it's becoming a regular haunt.”
“We had a wonderful experience at Le St. Laurent. The staff was friendly and helpful in regard to the food and wine offerings. The chef’s attention to detail in regard to dish preparation and presentation was extraordinary. The scallop appetizer was tender with a delicious sauce. As a main dish the duck and the beef shortrib were perfectly prepared and are highly recommended. This restaurant should be considered one of the best in Canada.
Dine at this restaurant for a memorable night out.”

“We were in the hogs back area yesterday and decided to go to Wild Wings for lunch. I must say that my husband and I were very pleased with our food and the service. I ordered a hamburger with sweet potatoes and it was simply fantastic. The hamburger was juicy and the potatoes tasted yummy. We are definitely going to come back”
“Fantastic First Visit – We’ll Be Back! We had a great first experience at this lovely Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was classy yet comfortable, and the food was excellent. We shared a tasty calamari appetizer, I had a huge gourmet personal pizza, and my husband enjoyed the shrimp linguine—everything was delicious. Despite a busy restaurant and patio, the two servers handled it all with speed and care. Service was attentive, and the prices were very reasonable for the generous portions. We’ll definitely be returning!”
“The food was of excellent quality, tasty, and fresh. Fast service and Delivery. Efficient and delivered precisely as requested. We were delighted with our Christmas Eve dinner. Our previous order from HAPPY GREEK was taken and charged to my credit card, yet when we went to pick up there was a CLOSED sign on the door. THEY still have not returned my money. There is no excuse for such criminal behaviour on Christmas EVE. YOU SAVED OUR CHRISTMAS EVE DINNER. THANK YOU.”
“OUR #1 TAKE OUT FOR CHINESE CUISINE AT HOME, AT FRIENDS AND WHEN AT WORK WITH COLLEAGUES FOR OVER 30 YRS. AND HAVE NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED. WE HAVE RECOMMENDED CYPRESS GARDEN TO MANY FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES OVER THE YEARS AS WELL. WE HOPE THEY WILL BE AROUND FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!”

Very welcoming and helpful. we've had some issues with the subway app, but otherwise the staff and food have been really strong. will continue to visit Thank you June Subway Challenge”
“Certainly amongst the best Turquish restaurant in Ottawa even if the place is modest and simple but greatly clean, well ordered and with owner couple top class. Menu with a large amount of different delicious choices. The review made by Ottawa Citizen one month after their opening is still very actual and totally worth the large amount of kudos received. Bravo to the very gentle owner's couple. The food is great and reminded us our meal taken in Kusadasi few years ago. We are going to use this spot on a very regular basis for sure.”

“I have been dreading this review for a while now, but things are not improving! Tonight, February 15th, they had a fixed 4 course dinner for $100. I called in advance because I was dining alone at the bar and inquired if I needed reservations. No mention of the $100 menu. Sat at the bar, was ignored by all the staff. First course didn't show up. Second course showed up and I asked where the first one was. They brought it after. The third course, the short rubs, was cold, as was my food the last 3 times we went there. i returned it and version 2 was better. Dessert was a very uneventful creme brulée. This is my third ( possibly 4th time) discretely providing feedback. Getting a comped dessert or small glass of wine. I was really rooting for this restaurant, but it is mismanaged and really needs to get their act. Cocotte no more!”
“I have celiac so this is a chain I can have roast chicken and sauce. Roasted chicken without sauce is just not the same. That said it makes for a very empty plate and unfortunately the restaurant is not vey generous with the fries even though they don’t need to provide a bun. As a result, I’m still a little hungry when I leave (not the first time this has happened). A half chicken would be too much food so I wish they would at least provide more in terms of qty for the side dish, in this case fries, with the quarter chicken.
Atmosphere was fine but a portion of the restaurant needs some TLC.
Feriyal was our server and she was great.”
“The food was excellent quality, fresh, tasty & prepared quickly. Adequate staffing for peak periods & they were friendly & had full knowledge of menu items & specials. The dining area was clean & comfortable as well as inviting & spacious. Facilities were average. Plenty of parking available. Been here many times & will definitely return with friends & family. Thanks BK Bronson Staff! 😁

“I was craving shawarma and found this place on my way home from work. I'm new to Ottawa and my shawarma standards are high because my hometown has amazing shawarma that no other spots have come close to and I've tried many places already in Ottawa. Let me tell you, this place DID NOT DISSAPOINT! Amazing shawarma every bit of it! I will definitely be returning. The best I've had in Ottawa by FAR!”
“Excellent food.. Generous Portions.. Courteous and Helpful Staff..
The Sizzler was awesome and our server Nikhil was great .. Will definitely visit again?”
“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”
“The pasta was 100% worth it! Everything was delicious, I personally didn't enjoy the grapefruit on the panna cotta but I admit that it was objectively good. If you are going for a date though, the bar might be a better option, because with the music and the noise, the tables might set you a bit far apart if you want to talk. No complaints. 9.8/10!”
“My experience was amazing. The food and service was genuinely outstanding. I was blown away by the customer service and friendliness of the staff. The server had impeccable knowledge of the menu and the food was to die for. I would definitely 10/10 recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to be blown away by a local restaurant with unique interior and delicious one of kind cuisine.”
“Fast service, great food and also nicely decorated. Staff are polite and friendly. We enjoyed every bit of our order of mix family platter. Very generous portions and not very pricy either. I'd definitely choose Pita Bell over any other kabab place in Ottawa.”
