Small portion of 3 shrimp but they were perfectly cooked and served in an unctuous, creamy sauce. Dipping the flatbread into the sauce was definitely the highlight.
Thali also had beets, lentil soup, zucchini in tomato sauce, yogurt raita, and a sweet mystery that was delicious.
Service was great. Fast and in and out in under an hour. Make sure you get a reservation! Highly recommend

Went there with my coworkers for lunch.
Food is okay but portions are small. Butter chicken comes in a small bowl with no rice or bread.
The server was misleading when she asked do you want rice or bread with your meal. She made it seem like one of them is included instead of saying would like to add bread or rice to your meal.
Also we felt rushed as the server kept staring at us and asking if we are ready. We felt it was hard to have a conversation with each other.
I got the feeling I should eat fast and leave

This restaurant is not at all 'authentic' in anyway. The food was subpar, the prices sky high for the portion sizes. Supposedly a kerala thali did not contain the essential moru curry or aviyal or theeyal. All dishes taste similar with loads of cream. Hugely disappointed,

Great ambiance. kind of fine dining place. Food is average. Lacks authenticity. Diluted to the needs of local crowd. Could be btter with Indian spices.

Good Indian food. High end restaurant. Prices accordingly higher. A good restaurant choice to be in. However it seems reservation is a must before going.

It is just limited thali. Attitude is bad. Just South Indian food. Brinjal is good. Nothing is good.
Good place to go if you have a large group (20 people) and need to meet dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten free, allergies). They had quick service and were attentive to needs during the dinner. It was challenging for our guests with to participate in conversations and hear the serves because it was extremely loud.
We recently dined at Coconut Lagoon in Ottawa and had a mixed experience.
First, the ambiance and spacing of the restaurant are quite nice. It has a pleasant atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxing meal. However, we were disappointed with the service. The staff seemed unwelcoming and were not attentive to our needs, which detracted from the overall experience.
We ordered the Thali, priced at $27 plus tax. Unfortunately, we found the portion sizes to be quite small—definitely not enough to satisfy even a moderately hungry person. To make matters worse, the flavors of the curries were off; they were either overly salty or excessively sweet.
Overall, our experience at Coconut Lagoon was disappointing. Given the service and food quality, We wouldn't recommend it for anyone looking for a satisfying meal, especially if you're dining with a hungry crew.

Fine dining at its best. Loved the vegetarian thali. Worth every penny.
Had the lunch shrimp thali special.
Vibrant, colorful, flavourful and satisfying.
Small portion of 3 shrimp but they were perfectly cooked and served in an unctuous, creamy sauce. Dipping the flatbread into the sauce was definitely the highlight.
Thali also had beets, lentil soup, zucchini in tomato sauce, yogurt raita, and a sweet mystery that was delicious.
