They have limited hours and are not open on the weekends. They serve mostly the workers in the building and in the other buildings in the complex. There is limited free visitor parking at the front of the complex, which is to your left as soon as you enter (Whatta Sandwich is to your right). The time limit is 2 hours. There is paid parking owned by Indigo Parking for the office workers or if the visitors' lot is full. Whatta Sandwich sells mostly sandwiches, soups, salads and typical office cafeteria food. However, they also sell Korean food!! I had my heart set on the Bibimbap but discovered that the beef bulgogi has sesame seeds in it. Actually, most of their items were covered in sesame seeds such as their Japchae and their chunks of fried chicken in sauce. So the only Korean item I could have was the Katsu plate. I had the choice of chicken or pork and I chose the former. For $11.99 it comes with white rice, coleslaw and one deep fried dumpling. The chicken cutlet was lean chicken breast, and even though it was sitting in a warming tray, it was still pretty crispy. The Katsu sauce was tasty and not excessive in quantity. The rice was well cooked and had a nice texture. It wasn't too dry nor too mushy. The dumpling was good. It had ground meat and cabbage inside (I think it was ground chicken). The coleslaw was vinegar based, which I prefer to the mayo based ones. It was sweet and sour and went well with the meal. Service was to the point and efficient. Food was great for what is essentially an office cafeteria. It's comparable to food court Korean places like KORYO Korean BBQ and Kim Chi Korean Delight. I love finding little hidden places like this :)

TL;DR/The Short Version: Deli serving up loaded sandwiches…read morein Hintonburg. A bit pricey, but tasty. The Long Version: District Deli opened up around March 2025 in the space that was Bismallah Pies (was Charlie's Groceteria before that). My husband and I dropped by to pick up a sandwich to share. The sandwiches are all named after nearby streets, which really gives it that neighbourhood feel. All meat sandwiches are $13.99 and vegetarian sandwiches are $12.49. You can also build your own for $13.99 where you can choose 2 meats, one cheese, and whatever vegetables you like. We went with the build your own option. We got roast beef and prosciutto cotto, fresh mozzarella and lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled onions, pickled eggplants, and roasted red peppers, with a bit of honey mustard. The sandwich was really good. The bread was fresh, as were the other ingredients. It was a bit pricey in my opinion, but this is in comparison to other similar sandwich shops with $8-10 sandwiches (like 50 Two Sandwiches or Shorty's Sandwiches), but they are in industrial parts of town, so I get it, rent in Hintonburg is higher. District Deli only has cold sandwiches. No hot sandwiches, at least not at the time of the writing of this review. Service was courteous and efficient. Street parking only. Review #118 (2025)

I ended up ordering the #19 because it was a mix of pizza & a sub, it came with pepperoni, provolone, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and green olives also I added chicken. Things I did like: the ingredients were fresh, the bread was soft, there were equal parts of toppings & meat. Things I didn't like so much: I thought the sandwich would be hot or toasted similar to a pizza, also it was a little dry needed either more marinara or ranch or something to make it less hard to swallow. I also ordered a blueberry danish & a lemon tart pastry. I ate the danish so fast I didn't even get to take a pic it was so good. However, I did not like the lemon tart the filling tasted like the grocery store canned pie filling.

This was such a solid pizza spot. It was my first time trying Indian fusion pizza. If you've had…read morethe Pakistani fusion pizza at Al Raheem Grocery and Shinwari BBQ & Pizza Restaurant, it's definitely different from that. I was in the mood for a vegetarian snack, so I got a small shaahi paneer pizza. It came with Indian gravy, butter-marinated cottage cheese (paneer), onions, and bell peppers. You have the option of spice level - mild, medium, hot, or extra hot. My husband wanted to try it, but he's usually "a mild man", as he says, and I like more heat, so I got medium spice for something in between. The onions and peppers still had some crunch, which I really enjoyed. There was enough paneer and distributed evenly in medium-sized cubes throughout the pizza, about two cubes per slice for a small pizza. There was a good amount of mozzarella, too. There are important details for a cheese lover like me, haha. There wasn't too much gravy/sauce, but still very flavourful and nice spice, not too hot. The crust was thin but not too thin, crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Such a great pizza! My husband enjoyed it so much that we ordered a large butter chicken pizza. It's the same as the shaahi paneer pizza, but with pieces of chicken thigh. The chicken was very tender and flavourful, though I have to say I think I enjoyed the paneer better. We also got paneer poppers, with six in an order. They were pieces of paneer marinated in mint-flavoured sauce, breaded with panko-style bread crumbs, and fried. They were crispy on the outside, soft inside, and also had good flavour with some spice. It wasn't heavy on the mint. It said creamy garlic sauce "onside" on UberEats, which for some reason I thought was a typo for "inside", but it really does mean creamy garlic sauce on the side. I wish I realized because I ordered creamy garlic sauce on the side with the pizza and it ended up being the pre-packaged Heinz dipping sauce that we then had two of. I had hoped it would be homemade. We'll order from here again for sure, but I want to try one of the homemade dipping sauces next time, like truffle green onion mayo.

I view Cultures as the OG soup, salad, and sandwich chain. They sold these things before it was…read morecool and trendy to be "health conscious", lol. They've been around for over 30 years actually. In 2003 they were acquired by the MTY Group, and they saw almost a doubling in the number of locations across Canada (they have about 45 locations now). Although they have always been a chain, I do find that with time, they have become "more chain-like" if that makes sense. In days past they were more like those little independent panini shops where different types of panini were pre-made and laid out, then pressed to order. Even though the sandwiches were pre-made they always tasted fresh (they'd be made every morning). And there would be big bowls of pre-made salads, like pasta salad, bean salad, couscous salad, etc. Now things are more made-to-order, which you think would be a good thing, but it just feels more like a Subway Sandwiches now, lol. There's only one Cultures Restaurant in all of Ottawa (this one at Bayshore Shopping Centre) and only 2 in the whole National Capital Region (the other one is on Gatineau). There are lots in Toronto and in Montreal. My first time eating at Cultures was in Toronto with my mom when I was a kid. We ate at food courts a lot, it was good times, lol. I do like Cultures in general, but this location is not as nice as the ones in Toronto and Montreal. And of course, not as nice as Cultures of days past ;) Still a good place to grab a healthier meal at the food court though.

I *LOVE* bread, but sometimes I need a break!), and other fast food, which we tend to eat to much of anyway, on a regular basis too. So this time, I ordered a salad that sounded good. It came in at about $10, while the hubby bragged that his chili and a bun came in at about half that price. I'm only giving it a 3-star, although I'd want to give more - simply because of the fresh alternative spin of Cultures. My salad was topped with blueberries and strawberries, a nice dressing, and... ummmm... was it cous cous? It was tasty, almost to the bottom. However, the bottom half of my salad was very full of ... kale. Yay kale! NOT. It's so bitter! However, I would revisit this review again, given a few months... once the lettuce scare is over and fresh crops have ripened! If it's better next time, I will update this review at that time.

Di Rienzo's is a small deli tucked away in Ottawa's little Italy neighborhood but trust me it's no secret. There's always a line of the well informed, salivating with a grin as they wait (not long mind you, they move fast). The smell here is your first clue that your in for somethings delicious, if you weren't hungry when you arrived you will be once the aroma hits your nostrils. They have a selection of Italian pre-packaged products and various snacks, as well as cold drinks to complete your meal. That said, this joint is all about the sandwiches. They'll make whatever combo of meats, cheese, and toppings you want but if your unsure just pick one of the options on the board. I almost always get the #14. It's all the delicious Italian meats you could want plus havarti, lettuce, and mayo (exchange the regular havarti for the herbed havarti if you'd like). The bread is amazing quality as well. You really can't go wrong here. They have some sandwiches in a case ready to go as well, such as the steak which I hear is amazing. The staff here couldn't be more friendly and accommodating which is no small feat for a place this busy. There are no tables so it's takeout only and It IS cash only however they have an ATM for the unprepared. Oh, lest I forget, this amazing and quality sandwich is less than 10 bucks! This spot is a real gem and if you find yourself nearby you absolutely have to try it out.
