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.

I had already eaten (I didn't realise they have food), but I ordered one of the three authentic Indian chai tea that are offered. There was only one size (maybe 12 ounces), but it was just right. The kadak chai was flavourful and yummy. Ginger and cardamom are the two main spices in the kadak. Next time I want to go over lunch so I can try the Tadka Maggi. Will definitely be back!

It was a Tuesday in Ottawa when we ordered the B combo which came to $44 plus tax and tip. This…read moreincluded two giant samosas with dipping sauce, butter chicken, naan, cauliflower and potato dish, and rice. We had gulab jamun for dessert. Everything tasted great, but everything was oily enough to keep a car going until the next oil change. On a positive note, there was plenty of food in the combo and while we worried about our future health situations, my wife and I enjoyed every morsel. The place is rather small but there was only one other party of four there and one waitress covered the entire restaurant and Uber Eats folks without a problem. They serve beer and wine but we only had pani [water, for those of you who aren't dating or married to an Indian to translate].

The place is cute and the ambiance is nice. The menu has a wide variety (vegetarian & non vegetarian options available).

Their portions are generous. The food came fast. If you like spicy food, I recommend this place. The price range per person is $20 Parking space available.

The Chicken Tikka Marsala contains peppers and the sauce is quite yummy but odd. The Butter Chicken has quite a kick but the Vindaloo is not particularly spicy. The food is really quite enjoyable but It's different, so when we have a craving for a different Indian flavour, we jump online and set up our delivery order. The ordering system offers points that work towards discounts on future orders and the points add up quite quickly. Karara is certainly my go-to local spot for Indian take-away.

Karara Barrhaven. DONOT recommend!…read more Horrible! I understand the COVID-19 pressures during this time; however, we had a huge order placed and when received...it wasn't fresh at all. The Tandoori roti- HARD difficulty to chew The naan - very chewy Goat mutton - SOUR tasting Curry Chicken - SOUR tasting Baingan Bhurta- Tasted OLD and sour Paneer Butter Masala - Delicious Channa Masala - okay I called to speak with the manager and the girl that unanswered was completely unhelpful- she could t care less about the horrible tasting food and when I asked about speaking with the manager...she didn't know when the manager would be on shift this date, she didn't know when the manager's next shift would be and she did not know what times the manager works. RIDICULOUS! I have bought from many Indian restaurants and have never come across such ridiculous service. I hope they can rectify this because as it stands I DO NOT RECOMMEND this Barrhaven location at least. 95% of my food I had to throw out because it was inedible!!!

Please go here and support this local business! The food is worth the drive! Excellent, friendly, and very respectful service too. We can't wait to try their other locations in Placid and Plattsburgh.

But this elevates that process and is Japanese, which is one of my favourite flavour profiles. The ambiance is so nice. There are screens between the tables so that you can cook and eat in private, which I really appreciated. Being new to the process and restaurant, I felt so fortunate to have Jarred as my server. He explained how everything worked and was so patient with me. Basically, you pay one price for all you can eat...and it's such a bargain! There are so many meats, sides and even desserts to choose from. Jarred helped me choose and was so patient explaining everything that had been marinated in soy sauce and was not gluten free. I was disappointed I couldn't have beef, so he told me he would grab some brisket without the marinade. I ended up ordering that brisket, shrimp and sausage for the meat. The sides were sweet potato in a brown sugary sauce, corn, pineapple, and rice. I can say that the sausage was my favourite, had a nice sweetness to it and different from the typical sausage you get elsewhere. You use the grill to cook everything which is so much more fun than just sitting and waiting for the food to arrive. Everything was so fresh and just tasted amazing. The grilled pineapple was divine! Jarred also suggested I order the Bibimbap. It was a dish with seaweed, veggies, and an egg on top. It tasted like an amazing sushi roll. I also had an UME pineapple drink. You can add an extra oz of alcohol for just $2. It was delicious. There are always staff around and they clear dishes you are finished with super fast. Everything moves there like a well-oiled machine. For dessert, I had this little creme brulee, which was just the right size not to overstuff your tummy. So amazing all warm and bubbly after it sat on the grill. One of the best I've ever had. While writing this review, I discovered there is a location relatively close to where I live in Waterloo. I will definitely be going. This isn't just an extraordinary dinner, it was an extraordinary experience. Perfect food, perfect service, and such a great value! This would be so fun for a date night or night out with friends. I will definitely frequent this restaurant, LOVE it! This location also has a parking lot, which is most welcome in Ottawa!
