The best Indian restaurant I’ve ever visited! The food was bursting with authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. Our server, Ali, was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations. The entire experience, from the warm ambiance to the delicious food and excellent service, was unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Very pleased with the Indian cuisine here. Being a fan of Indian food we were delighted by the blend of spices, the naan was incredible, very good service and atmosphere. We hope to come again when we visit Ottawa.

This is a wonderful restaurant! We have enjoyed Indian food all over the world and this was simply the finest we have ever eaten. The tastes are subtle and delightful; the portions, generous; and the service, impeccable.
This is one restaurant you won't want to miss.

The food was great but the servers were a bit strange. We thought of getting a combo but wanted to trade saag lamb for saag paneer. We expected to pay the same price, even though we knew the lamb dish was about $5 more than the paneer. The waiter said it would be an extra $5 for the substitution, even though both items were in combos, so paying $10 more than what it should have been, which I commented about. We resigned to pick something else and after a few minutes the waiter came back and said they would do the sub but "just for you". Then through the rest of the meal, it was almost like he was patronizing us, asking us if we knew what this or that dish was, like we were kids being asked what a cow or a duck says. Everything ended fine, I'm not saying he was a terrible guy, but things were just a bit weird. I'd definitely recommend the restaurant but take the staff with a grain of salt.
