The service was fantastic as well. Thank you for such a wonderful experience—I will definitely be returning!“

“Ottawa Corn Roaster went above and beyond for our community event, and their presence made such a meaningful impact. The owner, Moe, is genuinely kind and humble—someone who truly cares about people, not just business. His thoughtful engagement brought warmth and joy to the day in a way that’s hard to put into words. Our hearts (and bellies!) can’t thank you enough for your grace and presence. ❤️✨️ And the corn? Absolutely incredible. Always fresh, perfectly roasted, and packed with flavor—you can truly taste the quality and care in every bite. A true local treasure—both the food and the people behind it. We’re so grateful for their contribution and would highly recommend them for any event!“

“Smash Daddy Ottawa: The Best Halal Smash Burger I've Ever Had
If you're looking for the best smash burger in Ottawa—especially if you prioritize high-quality, delicious halal beef—you absolutely have to stop at Smash Daddy. This isn't just a burger joint; it's a destination that delivers an explosive, messy, and totally satisfying comfort food experience.
I ordered the signature Smash Daddy burger, and it truly lives up to the hype. The use of high-quality, halal AAA Canadian beef is evident in every bite. The patties are perfectly seared, giving you that incredible, crispy Maillard crust that only a true smash burger can deliver, while still remaining intensely juicy on the inside. Layered with American cheese, sweet griddled onions, house-made dill pickles, and their proprietary Smash Daddy sauce, it's a hefty, flavor-bomb burger sandwiched in a soft, buttery brioche bun. It's easily the best halal burger I've encountered in the city.
The side order of Naked Fries is non-negotiable. These hand-cut, double-fried potatoes are absolute perfection. They’re crispy, hot, and seasoned perfectly with their special blend. They’re the ideal companion to the rich, savoury burger, especially when dipped in that addictive, smoky Smash Daddy sauce.
Verdict: Smash Daddy delivers a top-tier smash burger experience that rivals any in the region, all while upholding a commitment to fresh, quality halal ingredients. If you can handle a little mess, prepare for pure bliss. Just remember to grab a few extra napkins!“

“Ordered our some takeout from here tonight and Bonita Cantina did not disappoint 😍🤤 Can’t wait to order again!!“

“The food is basically top notch for Mexican food in the city. So wholesome it makes you feel like you're eating grandmas meals. Amazing food. An absolute must for any Ottawa resident“

“Thank you so much for catering our Wedding on Saturday! We loved the tacos and fries, and our guests did too! The guests that have never had them before, will sure CRAVE them from here on out!! Highly recommend Crave Tacos for any small or Large event! We are so happy we decided to go with the Taco truck. Was a huge hit!“
