The Long Version: Meal Prep Ottawa opened this location in Westboro in May 2023. When they were new, I went in to check it out and discovered they sold refrigerated and frozen meals. To me they looked similar to the prepared foods at grocery stores but with a higher price tag so I wasn't particularly that interested. I'd rather cook my own food from scratch or I'll get a hot meal from a restaurant. Upon consulting their website, they state their meals are unprocessed, have balanced macros and the produce they use is GMO-free. They have Keto Paleo, vegetarian and vegan plans. As well as a regular plan they call "Clean and Mean" lol. Then in April of 2026 I was poking around my UberEats app looking for deals and new places to try and saw that Meal Prep Ottawa had a BOGO (buy one get one free) deal on selected items. I figured it was a good time to finally try something from them. I tried the Seven Grains Salad. It's regularly $5.99 a serving in-store, but UberEats had them buy one get one free for $8.89. So even with the mark-up, I still saved a few bucks. I liked the texture and the multitude of different beans and grains in it, but it was similar to those salads by the weight at grocery stores, although a bit tastier and likely with more quality ingredients. I'm glad I tried it, and it was good for what it was, but I don't think I'll be a regular. I prefer to prepare my own meals from scratch, but it's a good option for those who want such services. Staff were pleasant at pick up. Street parking only. Review #78 (2026)

Pasta Volare is a new, local business that runs out of a residence. I stopped my scroll when…read moremindlessly perusing Instagram because their fresh pasta just looked SO good. They change their menu weekly, every Sunday, which includes long pasta, short pasta, filled pasta, sauces, focaccia, and a meal kit with a mix of everything. This week's menu included: - Long pasta: Tagliatelle or pappardelle - Short pasta: Cavatelli or fusilli - Filled pasta: Scarpinocc di Taleggio e fungi (Taleggio cheese and mushroom) or tortellini quattro fromaggio (four cheese) - Sauces: Pomodoro (tomato based), Cornish hen ragu (tomato based), seasonal mushroom (cream based), Genovese pistachio pesto, or herb butter - Focaccia: Large or small - Tutti tipi di pasta: Kit including pappardelle, fusilli, scarpinocc, tortellini, seasonal mushroom sauce, Cornish hen rage, Genovese pistachio pesto, herb butter, and large focaccia The long and short pastas are 150 grams per portion and $7 each, the scarpinocc and tortelloni come in a pack of 12 and are $15 each, and each order of sauce is for two portions, varying prices between $5 and $15. The small focaccia is $5 and the large is $12. They take orders Sunday to Wednesday for Thursday to Saturday delivery or pickup. Pickup is free in Barrhaven after 3pm and delivery is $5 within a 10km radius from 3-5pm. They also advised that the fresh pasta is best enjoyed the day of order or the next day, and the filled pasta comes freshly frozen and can be kept up to two months in freezer. I have a real soft spot for fresh pasta, so knowing it was homemade locally and two types of pastas I had never tried before, and just being gluttonous and greedy ol' me, I ordered tagliatelle, cavatelli, scarpinocc, and tortelloni pastas, pomodoro, mushroom, pesto, and herb butter sauces, and a small focaccia. I basically customized my own kit and it came out to $89, a dollar cheaper than the tutti tipi di pasta one they had already put together. It was all just for me, not gonna lie. I ordered earlier in the week through a private message on their Instagram and they responded right away. They asked if I had any allergies, what my phone number was, and gave me the total price and e-mail address to send the e-transfer. I originally thought I would have it delivered since the charge was so cheap, but they sent me the address and I ended up picking it up instead. I picked it up and it came in two paper bags (with sweet thank you messages!), one for the cardboard boxes of pasta and the other for the plastic containers of sauces and the bread. There was also a little message on one of the bags to just put the pasta in the freezer and cook from frozen. It was super quick to pick up and I was really excited to get home. It was hard to decide which pasta to each for dinner tonight with which sauce, but I ended up going with the four cheese tortelloni and pesto. They also come with an instruction sheet on how to cook the pasta and incorporate the sauces, which I found very helpful. The tortelloni were made perfectly, just a little tangy, and not overly stuffed or heavy, perfect portion. The pistachio pesto was a touch bitter, also perfect and I licked the spoon multiple times before even mixing it with the pasta. I decided to try the focaccia just on its own and it was soft and moist with some salt. I warmed it up slightly in the toaster oven and used some of the herbed butter (which came in a huge, very generous portion). It was all exactly what I wanted, exactly what I expected, and so incredibly satisfying. Can't wait to try the other pastas and sauces (and finish all the focaccia)!

K & J were incredibly accommodating and took special care to be sure that there was no cross contamination because my niece and nephews all have FPIES. Here is a breakdown of what we ordered and feedback: Fruit and veggie platters = fantastic! Fresh cut and large portions on both trays as well as dips for each. Charcuterie tray = good! I would suggest ordering a larger tray instead of the smaller one because there were lots of dips but not quite enough meat, cheese and crackers for the small one. Food and mix of food on the tray was fantastic! Sandwich platter = Excellent! I didn't know that a chicken sandwich could be that good! Presentation was beautiful and food was excellent. I highly recommend Kat & Jordy's and will 100% use them again for catering and will order for a night that I don't want to cook.

I was looking for a local prepared meal provider. Someone to compete with We Cook. I did some…read moregoogling and found Flava Daddy. The meals *are* very flavourful. I have chosen the "Carb Hater" meals. I get double veg instead of a side of rice or potato or pasta. They are delivered to my door, still warm, by one of Flava Daddy's drivers in a reusable bag. So I don't have to deal with another cardboard box or bags of ice. I've been getting deliveries of six meals a week for about three weeks and I'm loving it. They come in a semi-reusable Glad plastic container. The nutrition and macros etc aren't listed on the packaging. That's one downside. I think they estimate the Carb hater meals (on the website) as being between 300-450 calories. I'd prefer a more exact breakdown. A better website would be another plus. As is, you can buy your subscription online and you don't need to make any calls but a more in depth site that is a tad easier to navigate would be beneficial. For a local business option in the prepared meal delivery area I would recommend Flava Daddy.

Don't come here hungry! Wow!…read moreThis popped up when I plugged in 'butcher' near me. 15 min away. My first visit was a Sat. So busy! And for good reason. I was blown away by all the meat, the prepared goods. Burger counter. Some seating. Freezer choices. Some dried goods, bread. I got away with Chorizo, some lean ground beef and some beautiful olive oil. Is this place cheap? No! But, I pay for quality without batting an eye. Especially foodie stuff. Next round was a Tuesday aft. Ahhh. Better. I could see everything, not so packed. It was just after a long weekend so some things were sold out but I grabbed more lean beef, a chicken parm portion, a beef Jamaican patty and a stuffed potato. All were good! The chicken portion from the fresh cabinet was $11.50! More than my lb of ground beef! But it was a filling piece and fed me x 2. I love this place.

The first time I went into Sheikh Almandi I intended to order some food, but was told it would be a…read more30 minute wait. I was super hungry that day and so I left and got food elsewhere, but made a note to return. I finally made it back. The second time I called in advance and placed my order on the phone. I was told it would take 1 hour and 15 minutes (!) Good thing I wasn't hangry that time, lol. I ordered a #16 (2 lamb kebabs with rice $11) for my husband and a #17 (1 lamb kebab and 1 chicken shish taouk with rice $13) for myself. When I arrived and hour and 15 minutes later, my food was ready as promised. I was super disappointed that I didn't get the pita pockets filled with grilled tomatoes with my meal like my Yelp friend Keith did :( Nonetheless, the food was tasty. I got a very generous portion of rice. The rice was soft and fluffy and so pretty with all the different colours. The rice had lots of raisins and almonds in it. A lot more than at other restaurants :) I really enjoyed the chicken shish taouk. It was big chunks of lean chicken breast, nicely marinated and tasted delicious with the spicy sauce they provided. I thought the lamb was ok. I'm not a huge fan of lamb as I usually find it too gamey, but thought I would try it. It wasn't as lamb-y as I thought it would be, lol. My husband loves lamb and he enjoyed the lamb kebabs. Service was courteous. Although I called the first number on their takeout menu and no one answered and I got a recording that the owner of the number had not set up their voicemail yet. So I called the second number on their takeout menu and the same thing happened. Shortly after, they called me back and I was able to place my order. I think they should set up their voicemail. Anyway, it all worked out for me, so I was happy. Although I found the wait time a bit long. The place is mostly a catering business, but they have takeout obviously and while I was there, many other people were also there for takeout. It's in a strip mall on Carling in the Bayshore area. Lots of free parking.

I didn't see any yelp reviews for this place and quite frankly didn't know what to think because if…read moreyou were to drive by, you would miss it because it doesn't look like a restaurant at all. It's a door in the corner of a plaza - when you get to the door, you have to ring a buzzer (almost like going into a jewellery store!) Anyway, I recommend calling in your order. The staff is really friendly and helpful. My 4-star review is based on how good the food was! What this place lacked in curb appeal, ease of access and ambiance, they make up in their flavour! I got the lamb skewers on rice (the #16). The lamb was perfectly cooked and on a bed of deliciously flavoured rice with almonds, cashews and golden raisins. It also came with pita that was stuffed with spicy tomatoes and grilled. There was a side of a spicy sauce and I asked for grilled tomatoes (I just like that with my rice) and they obliged and we're kind enough to add them. The meal was rather inexpensive and the quantity allowed for two of us to eat and still have leftover rice!! I'm impressed! Will be going back to try their lamb shank.

Love the variety of what's delivered each week. We also like that we can add to our order other items as we need/want them a la carte like chia seeds, eggs or yogurt. A huge selection. I think this happened recently, or I just noticed it when I was browsing the goods for a la carte items but they have also partnered with some bakeries and you can order fresh baked items to come with your delivery. My personal favourite are the baked goods from Wild Oats. The brownie, oh it's just so good! We also really love that they deliver to our neck of the woods in the country (Dunrobin). The deliveries have been on point and reliable. The Customer Service at the main office is terrific. I personally think the cost is about the same as the grocery store but a much better selection, fresher and it makes our life so much easier just having this big glorious box of freshness delivered every week. Plus, we are supporting local and not big box. I like that. Highly recommend.
