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.”

Tehran Persian Cafe & Restaurant 470 Rideau St, Ottawa Persian/Iranian • $$

“I had an amazing experience at Cafe Tehran.
The lamb chops were perfectly grilled, tender, and full of flavor. You can immediately taste the quality of the meat and the care put into the seasoning. The saffron basmati rice was aromatic, fluffy, and cooked just right. Exactly how Persian rice should be.
The plate was generous and beautifully balanced with fresh salad and grilled tomato, which completed the meal perfectly. Every bite felt authentic and comforting, like real home style Persian cuisine done at a professional level.
If you’re looking for high quality Persian food with rich flavors, excellent portions, and consistent taste, Cafe Tehran is a place you won’t regret. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to others.”

Kettlemans Bagel 912 Bank St, Ottawa Bagels • $

“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.

Really cannot recommend this place enough. I wish I lived closer.”

Sushi Fresh 48 Byward Market Square, Ottawa Sushi • $$

“We visited Sushi Fresh and it was a great experience for sushi lovers. Located in ByWard Market, the restaurant has a simple and cozy atmosphere that feels relaxed and welcoming.

The highlight was definitely the freshness of the sushi. The fish tasted clean and flavorful, while the rice had a good texture and balance. The presentation was neat and appetizing without feeling overly complicated.

Service was quick and friendly, and although the dining area is on the smaller side, it adds to the casual local-spot feel. It works well for dine-in, takeout, or a quick meal while exploring downtown Ottawa.

Many local diners also describe it as one of their favorite sushi places in Ottawa because of its consistency, generous portions, and fresh ingredients.

Overall experience was good.

Fresh sushi, good portions, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere — a place worth coming back to if you enjoy Japanese food in Ottawa. 🍣

Tehran Persian Cafe & Restaurant 470 Rideau St, Ottawa Persian/Iranian • $$

“I had an amazing experience at Cafe Tehran.
The lamb chops were perfectly grilled, tender, and full of flavor. You can immediately taste the quality of the meat and the care put into the seasoning. The saffron basmati rice was aromatic, fluffy, and cooked just right. Exactly how Persian rice should be.
The plate was generous and beautifully balanced with fresh salad and grilled tomato, which completed the meal perfectly. Every bite felt authentic and comforting, like real home style Persian cuisine done at a professional level.
If you’re looking for high quality Persian food with rich flavors, excellent portions, and consistent taste, Cafe Tehran is a place you won’t regret. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to others.”

Sushi Fresh 48 Byward Market Square, Ottawa Sushi • $$

“We visited Sushi Fresh and it was a great experience for sushi lovers. Located in ByWard Market, the restaurant has a simple and cozy atmosphere that feels relaxed and welcoming.

The highlight was definitely the freshness of the sushi. The fish tasted clean and flavorful, while the rice had a good texture and balance. The presentation was neat and appetizing without feeling overly complicated.

Service was quick and friendly, and although the dining area is on the smaller side, it adds to the casual local-spot feel. It works well for dine-in, takeout, or a quick meal while exploring downtown Ottawa.

Many local diners also describe it as one of their favorite sushi places in Ottawa because of its consistency, generous portions, and fresh ingredients.

Overall experience was good.

Fresh sushi, good portions, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere — a place worth coming back to if you enjoy Japanese food in Ottawa. 🍣

Their fish sauce is the perfect combination of sweet and sour, with pickled cabbage and carrots in side it for an extra special touch.

“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 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!”

Koichi Ramen Westboro 295 Richmond Rd, Ottawa Ramen • $$

“My wife and I visited this ramen shop last May or June, around 5 to 6 p.m., and had a terrible experience. The pork belly was incredibly hard and smelled awful. To make matters worse, our female server completely ignored us, even though there were only two other tables and the staff was chatting nearby. It left us feeling pretty disappointed after dinner.

Today, we decided to give it another chance, thanks to their event. This time, the quality and freshness of the ramen were much better, including serving quality. I think the owner or manager should visit more often to ensure the service quality stays high.”

Mamma Teresa Ristorante 300 Somerset St W, 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.”
