We have attended this restaurant on several occasions and have had different items from their Menu and Buffet. The food quality is amazing and consistent. The Owner Mr, Zaffar, Aly, Kabir and the entire staff member go out of their way to make sure you enjoy the atmosphere and food. Quality, Quantity and service is worth the money you spend there. Very reasonably priced Indian Restaurant in Ottawa
