41 Best Indian Restaurants in Ottawa

“The food was absolutely delicious, and we loved the egg rolls they surprised us with when we got home (thank you 😊). The free egg rolls may have been due to some miscommunication on pick up time when we ordered online, we even waited an additional 15 mins after arriving, but that did not take away from how incredibly flavorful the food was! We came wait to eat there again!!“
