50 Best Indian Restaurants near Gatineau

“I waited 2 years to order take out (finances couldn't permit) and wasted $100 here for my bday. All 3 dishes were minimal, watery soup consistency; staples such as rice and naan were extra $, bland and over-priced, and everything needed to be reheated after driving 3 blocks to get home. I am furious at being so let down. Indian-style food is my favourite. I've tried 10+ ottawa-area Indian places in the past and this was certainly the worst.“

“Absolutely delicious! We bought take out: lamb buryani, beef kurma and butter chicken. All 3 dishes were outstanding. Having lived near “Little India” in Toronto, I can vouch that Kochin is just as authentic and flavorsome. Kudos to the chef!“

“Found this amazing, delicious, authentic Indian vegetarian restaurant on Baseline - Royal Paan. ( 1943 Baseline Rd, Ottawa, ON K2C 0C7). Usually not very impressed by Indian resturent in Ottawa but this one touched my soul. Worth trying. I have tried couple of dishes and they all were amazing Pavbhaji Dosa, Stuffed Kulcha Channa, Dhai bahala and Hakka Noodles. The amount of food was way enough for me. The place was clean and very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Prices are reasonable for sure. Already went 3 times and will be going again.“

“For the past couple of years, I have been a regular customer at Indian Food Hub, and I can confidently say it is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. The food is consistently outstanding, full of authentic flavors, and prepared with great care. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. What truly makes Indian Food Hub special, however, is the wonderful hospitality of Manoj Kumar and his wife. They are friendly, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely passionate about their restaurant. Over time, they have become much more than restaurant owners to me—they are people I look forward to seeing whenever I visit. The restaurant offers an excellent combination of delicious food, great service, a warm atmosphere, and outstanding value. It is clear that Manoj and his wife care deeply about their customers and work hard to make everyone feel appreciated and at home. I would highly recommend Indian Food Hub to anyone looking for authentic Indian cuisine and an exceptional dining experience. If you have not visited yet, you are missing out on both fantastic food and wonderful people.“
