This small and unpretentious family run [I'm guessing] restaurant serves delicious paper thin dosai, fantastic puttu, medu vada, idli and sambar that will have your wallet send a thank you card. We got there on a Sunday slightly before it opens at 10 am . Oh, and the chutney. Did I mention the chutney? I give it 4 stars only because of the decor. You're not going to impress your date or be impressed eating there, save for the quality of the food. It's definitely worth your time.

This evening ( 31 August 2025), we ordered a dosa and egg muppas ( entree) for our dinner. To our surprise, the muppas were served within no time, while the dosa was served well after 25 to 30 minutes!! For any Indian foodie, this would immediately raise suspicion about the food, as the dosa should not take any time to prepare, while the other than takes some time to cook. Anyway, when I tasted the eggs on the entree, the yoke was very cold and the bread served with the entree was also just lukewarm. When I questioned the waiter, why the yolk is so cold, she did not answer the question and was trying to persuade it is ok. Upon further pushback, the waiter said, this food was served in the afternoon buffet and we just used the leftover food!! They serve recycled food and expect the customer to pay the full price and they do not want to even hide that!! So if you choose to visit this restaurant, make sure you get the fresh food.

So In the admist of COVID-19 and what is happening. My family attended Ottawa on the Labour Day…read morelong weekend and stumbled across this South Asian/Indian Restaurant , we attended this place for breakfast..greeted well and we ordered such dishes. The owner and staff was very friendly. I personally wanted to try the beef patties as the rest of my family ordered hoppers, I enjoyed. If I lived here, Id be ordering again. Edit: We were hungry again at dinner time in the late evening and stopped by again. At that time, I ordered the Beef Fried Rice. Once again the meal was spot on, tasted delicious, ,the rice was fresh and the vegetables were in perfect harmony, the egg mixed in the rice made it a savory hot meal. I also ordered spicy and the beef was juicy and moist ,it was worth it, I scraped the plate. The portions were also great. As the rest of my family ordered other dishes and were satisfied as well. To finish it off I tried my first Faluda. It actually was so amazing. So all in all, I just had to write this review. If you are ever in town for a nice South Asian/Indian cuisine. This is the joint. Thank you Master. Represent Ottawa well.

We have eaten there once and ordered delivery twice. I tried all 3 times to get a whole tandori chicken (which is listed on the menu). I was told the first 2 times that they only had the leg sections available at the time. The third time was a phone order, and I was told (after the order taker talked to kitchen) that the whole chicken WAS available this time. I was very happy to hear that. However, on receiving the order, I was very disappointed to see that rather than the whole chicken that I was charged for, with 2 leg sections, and 2 breast sections, they gave me 4 leg sections. Not my definition of a whole chicken. Since I prefer the breast meat, I would have ordered something else if they had been forthright about not having breast sections any longer. I also ordered a kale salad and got something with no kale in it at all, not the same salad as I had enjoyed while dining in at their restaurant. I called them about the chicken, and was basically told "tough luck", nothing they could do, not even a refund for getting leg instead of breast. This disregard for customer satisfaction would have earned them a 1 star review, but the food IS flavorful, so they get an extra star for that. Also, avoid the tandoori shrimp, WAY overcooked. Nicely seasoned, but shrimp should not be that tough, especially not at the price they charge. Flavor: good Price: high Customer Service: poor
