Ordered beef biryani and chaat papri. Biryani was amazing and spice level is very good. Meat was tender and flavourful. Chaat papri was a bit dry but asked for extra yogurt and tamarind chutney and it was perfect after.

Cozy, friendly and fast as well as affordable and fresh. Awesome tandoori soya chaaps and big puffy bhathure. Plus, they've given the dining room a nice upgrade.

May 2023Our group of 9 shared all of our items ordered, and the vote was a raving review of the food. Our friends were searching for a caterer for their wedding, and they found it.We ordered what we wanted, and then shared the plates.Appetizers ordered: samosas (only vegetarian are served), pakoras, and onion bhaji.Mains ordered: butter chicken, aloo Gobi, paneer tikka, lamb kebab, tandoori chicken, salmon tikka, white rice, coconut rice, pulao rice, naan bread, roti, and pappadam.Everything was delicious, flavourful, and tasty.Our waitress was great for helping us out with how much we needed to order.A cozy space tucked away in a Manotick mall.I live 45 minutes away from this restaurant, but I would make the drive across the city to come here for meal.Hopefully, your experience here will be as great as ours!

I've tried chhole bhature, samosa chaat, butter chicken, and naan. The first two are decent enough, but the butter chicken and naan are an absolute disgrace. The chicken was overcooked and extremely dry. The naan is not leavened at all - this is not what naan is supposed to look like.

The interior is kinda small and nothing noteworthy in terms of decor and ambience. However, I consider this restaurant a hidden gem as the food was flavorful and reasonably priced for the generous portions. Lamb biryani was only $13.99 here compared to $18-23 that I usually pay at other Indian restaurants in Ottawa.Minus a star for only offering single-use plastic cutlery and non reusable plates/bowls despite dining in.

The packaging was neat and secure, and I was pleased to find that the food was still warm when I opened it at home. The aroma of the spices and herbs in the Briyani was incredible, and it was clear that the chefs had put a lot of thought and care into creating this dish.The rice was fluffy and flavorful, and the tender lamb pieces were cooked to perfection. The spices used in the dish were well-balanced, giving it a depth of flavor that was truly impressive. The accompanying raita was fresh and cooling, which balanced the heat of the dish.The portion size was generous and could easily feed two people. The value for the price was excellent, and the quality of the food was unmatched.Overall, I had a fantastic experience with this Briyani takeout, and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Briyani experience.

Big portions, fresh and tasty. The « mild » option is still quite spicy though.

Good addition to Ottawa’s South Asian food palate. Loved samosa chat and gol grappa. Masala chai was sweet. I would have preferred an option of having sugar on the side. Very neat and clean dining area.

The worst experience ever. Picked up Papdi & Aloo Tiki chat and pakoras. The chats were so dry with literally few drops of dahi and hardly any chutney. The pictures attest to what I am saying. The chats and pakoras had no taste or flavor. Only took few bites and had to throw away the rest. Such a disappointing experience. If this restaurant wants to establish a good clientele they need to improve their food quality
