    "Dill with it" salad (quinoa puffs instead of flax seeds) $12 and a strawberry lemonade $2.75.
    Jennifer P.

    I had lunch at Mad Radish recently and the food was good, but I have to agree with Mary P. that the washrooms were filthy. There was urine all over the seat and on the floor. I had to use like half a roll of toilet paper to wipe up the pee on the seat and then make a toilet paper nest on the seat so I could sit down without feeling gross. And it's a huge disconnect too, because the place is brand spanking new and you would think everything would be clean. I went to the washroom at the end of my visit, after finishing my meal. Had I gone before ordering, I would have turned around and walked out. This place's saving grace is that the food was great. I had the "Dill with It" salad ($12) which had mixed greens, new potatoes, green beans, asparagus, tomatoes, sunflower seeds and a soft boiled egg. It's supposed to come with flax seeds, but I substituted that for puffed quinoa. I just realized on the menu it says it contains broccoli, but mine didn't have any for some reason. It was all tossed in a lemon and dill yogurt dressing. The salad was tasty and really filling. I had a Strawberry Lemonade ($2.75) as well. It was nice and refreshing. It wasn't too sour, nor too sweet. I saw actual strawberry seeds in it, so I'm glad that they use real strawberries and not artificial syrup. This restaurant is cashless. They only take credit cards and debit. Staff were nice. I love that their cutlery, bowls and cups are all compostable. I would have given this place 4 stars had it not been for the washroom situation. I thought maybe it was a one-off and they had a customer with really poor aim who apparently didn't even have time to lift up the seat (the washrooms are gender neutral. There is no way that someone who was actually sitting on the toilet could have made that kind of mess), but then I read Mary P.'s review and it looks like dirty washrooms is an on-going problem :(

    Last week I tried their new Piri Piri Bowl with Piri Piri Tofu and it was reallyyy good!! Service was really speedy too!

    Take a look at this ginger chicken salad

    Well done Yelp for the recommendation. One of us has severe restrictions, the other not so. The ginger chicken salad was fresh, crunchy and tasty. Actually the word "amazing" was used. I had the cauliflower butter curry. Tasty and filling. Stuff here might seem a little above the basic price but your soul will thank you for making all the right culinary, ecological and spiritual choices.

    Salads done right. I had the chicken heater (?) bowl and it was good! Not $15 good but good. Certainly stingy with the chicken. Could have used a few more solid strips in there. Friendly and fast service (I went at 2pm and it was dead quiet). Nice clean restaurant. I'm not rushing back but happy to have tried it.

    This restaurant is conveniently located near Parliament Hill and very much reminds me of Freshii. With food, they have multiple bowls or salads that you can choose from. As well as a selection of soup! I got their child bowl which was delicious and my friend got their chicken salad bowl which looked great too! I'd highly recommend getting the soup. The bread though I'd recommend skipping because it was quite dry and hard.

    Great vegetarian and vegan dishes in downtown Ottawa! Moroccan stew and falafel salad were both delicious. They even have their own app for quick ordering.

    For my last meal here, I decided to check out this popular bowl / salad spot in downtown Ottawa. I was excited to check out another salad / bowl place as I love food that is both delicious and healthy! Atmosphere: 4/5 Simple, bright, modern and a busy spot during the lunch hour! Luckily, there were still a number of seats so it was easy to have a quick and comfortable meal. It was nice to see how busy this place was, but the line also moved relatively quickly. I like that their bowls and cutlery are all compostable. Food: 4/5 I had the smoked salmon bowl which was good - good portion size and delicious; fresh and customizable with good variety of ingredients Service: 3.5/5 Busy but efficient; line moved quickly; pre-ordering also available Price: 2.5/5 Slightly overpriced in my opinion for the amt and type of ingredients but the food was good Overall: 3.5/5 It was nice to check out another convenient salad / bowl place here in Ottawa - good, creative and delicious combinations, which are also healthy...however the bowls are a bit overpriced in my opinion. Nevetheless, I would love to try some of their other bowls for lunch

    Bult my own salad- Added spicy chicken which is not exactly spicy but overall the salad tastes really good. Its absolutely fresh and they had a variety of options to choose from. Definitely recommend trying out when in Downtown.

    This was my first time at mad radish, and though I had high hopes I was pretty let down with my meal. I order the ginger chicken salad which I was hoping would be tangy, flavourful and full of crunch. Unfortunately it was not any of that. It just tasted like lettuce and carrots tossed around with 2 or 3 pieces of chicken. For a 15$ salad I was expecting much more!! My suggestions: add more zest, more ginger and don't be cheap with the chicken!!! I would also use whole or halved cashes instead of small cashew pieces because you don't really get the taste or crunch with all the mixed salad in there. I would think about adding crispy noodles to this one, similar to the tortilla that the Mexican chicken option has.

    I had the Falafel salad and while the ingredients are fresh, the falafel patties are tough and dry. A little disappointing.

They sell perogies and other Eastern European snacks. Overall, the food was good, and reminded me of the home cooking of the mothers of my Slavic friends. I found the prices a bit high for what they were, but I guess nowadays that's not unsurprising. I got a ground pork and rice bun ($4), a ground beef crepe ($4) and a cottage cheese pancake ($4). The ground pork and rice bun was reminiscent of a cabbage roll in bun form, minus the cabbage and the tomato sauce, lol. It was heavy on the bun and rice and light on the pork, but tasted like comfort food. It reminded me a bit of the Asian buns filled with fillings like BBQ pork or curry beef as well. The bun was soft and almost brioche-like. The ground beef crepe was tasty, albeit a bit oily for my tastes. The crepe is a bit sweet, while the meat is slightly salty. The cottage cheese pancake was slightly sweet and I should have eaten this one last, as it was more dessert-like. I like that the cheese was thick and had a nice texture. Overall, the three items made a good snack. Service was courteous. The lady asked if I wanted the items warmed up and I liked that she placed them on a real plate to microwave them before putting them into a styrofoam box (I have seen some places put styrofoam in the microwave [shudder]). I mean I would have preferred if the box was cardboard, but at least they don't microwave styrofoam. The shop is located in a strip mall. There's plenty of free parking in the strip mall.

    The place is to go only, there's no sitting available inside. Perogies were freshly made and tasty…read more The size of one piece is slightly smaller than expected.

They do offer the "mini" versions of the bowls which I actually appreciate as I usually find these type of bowls are huge and I end up wasting. The portion was just perfect...

Absolutely, fuckin', LOVELY. ...I can go on, but, it'd be better to learn from experience, by the uninitiated. I lived the dream today. To the dreamers. The dream is alive, offered up dinner in the cabane style. THE BEST BURGER IN OTTAWA. Proper. I will legit fight someone that says differently.
