The plain bread/naan was good. Our server was extremely helpful, the drinks were too strong and quite gross so I wasted it, I got the corona alcoholic drink with tequila and triple sec My coworkers ate lamb and butter chicken and loved it, they got a side appetizer with green chicken which they didn't like, fish, sausage and other chicken and they liked that all

I went here today with my parents for the lunch buffet ($11.99/person served from 11:30am-2pm on…read moreweekdays). It was worth the drive to Kanata North, because we loved it! We were greeted right away and since we arrived at 11:30am there was only 1 other customer in the restaurant and so we were told we could sit anywhere we wanted. As it approached noon, the restaurant really started to fill up though. The buffet is not large but there was a good selection. Today there was tandoori chicken, butter chicken, beef vindaloo, lamb curry, potato curry, chickpea curry, vegetable biriyani, plain basmati rice, naan and vegetable pakoras. This is the "main buffet," they also had a smaller buffet of pickled vegetables, and things like raita and chutneys. For dessert they had some fresh fruit, rice pudding and gulab jamun. The food was pretty good. The tandoori chicken was tender and not dry like at some places. The butter chicken was boneless and rich and creamy. The beef vindaloo was the mildest beef vindaloo I've ever tasted in my life. No spicy kick whatsoever :( I guess it is to please the masses, but all the buffet dishes were so mild. I would have liked at least one with some spiciness. The lamb curry was tasty. It had lots of big bones in it filled with marrow. If you love marrow, you will love their lamb curry. I found the vegetable biriyani and pakoras a little too salty, but my parents thought they were fine. Warning: the naan bread contains little seeds (the seeds are baked into the dough, not just sprinkled on top). They look like black sesame seeds, but I think they are kalonji/nigella seeds. Service was good. They refill your water without prompting. And they are very nice. The weird thing was they did not clear away dirty plates like they do at most buffets. I personally like to go up to the buffet several times and just put a little bit on my plate at a time, so the different sauces don't touch each other and things don't get too mixed up on my plate (as opposed to filling the plate entirely and only going up once). So I had a stack of dirty plates next to me that made me look like the biggest glutton ever! Anyway, I saw some customers go back up to the buffet with their dirty plates and refilled their dirty plates (!) This is not what I am accustomed to and I've been to more than my fair share of buffets, so I was shocked. But whatever I guess. Washrooms are not spic and span, but not dirty. Decor is a bit dated, but has its own charm. The place has a very family-run feel to it (this is not meant to be pejorative, it's just to describe the atmosphere). I personally love mom and pop joints! The restaurant is in a strip mall so there's a parking lot, but it's quite small and by the time we left the parking lot was entirely full. If you are in the area and you like Indian food, you definitely need to give this place a try. Even if you are not in the area, but you like Indian food, I would recommend this place.

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.

I always like to start off the new year on a positive note, so my first review of 2024 is a 5-star review for The Sarangi, Cuisine of India. I was poking around on UberEats looking for new restaurants when I came across a restaurant called The Sarangi. I looked it up and recognized the address as where Pookies Thai used to be. I looked up the restaurant website to find out more about the business and discovered they just opened on November 30, 2023. I also discovered they were having a 50% off everything on their menu, except alcohol, the weekend of their opening. A quick look at their prices also showed that their prices at the restaurant are lower than on UberEats. I always prefer to order directly from restaurants to save them the extra fees, if prices are the same (sometimes UberEats has wicked deals though and I can't resist, lol). So obviously in this case, I called the restaurant directly to place my order for pick up. I got the Non-Vegetarian Dinner for 2 (regularly $57.99, but only $28.99 with the 50% off opening special deal). You get 3 vegetable samosas, an order of basmati rice, a naan, 4 pieces of Gulab Jamun and you get to choose 2 drinks (I got a lychee juice and a mango lassi), and 2 curries (I got the Beef Korma and Chicken Kadhai). You also choose your spice level, I got medium. The portion sizes were amazing. Lots of proteins in the curries. The Chicken Kadhai had bell peppers in it in addition to huge pieces of boneless lean chicken. It was my first time having this dish. While I enjoyed it, it did have some black seeds in it that I wasn't crazy about. The Beef Korma had huge cubes of tender lean beef and the sauce was so rich and creamy. This was my favourite dish. I couldn't get enough of it. So good. The rice was nicely steamed and was soft and fluffy. The naan was blistery and had the right amount of chew and soaked up that delicious Korma sauce so well. The samosas were a bit on the oily/greasy side but they were good. The potatoes were mashed instead of cubed and there were peas inside as well. I was impressed with the lychee juice which had a potent lychee flavour and although it was very sweet, it did not taste artificial at all. The mango lassi was thick, rich, sweet and had a good mango flavour. They were also well packaged and didn't leak in transit. The Gulab Jamun were good for what they are. They were also very sweet. These are not my favourite dessert, but they were well made and I'm sure anyone who likes Gulab Jamun would enjoy these. I spoke with Ukesk (sorry if I got the spelling wrong) who was very nice. He told me they just opened November 30, 2023 and were mostly just doing takeout and UberEats orders at the moment. Their dining room was set up but he said they didn't have their decorations up yet. I also noticed they didn't have their exterior sign yet. They just had a temporary paper sign in the window. He told me this is their second restaurant, their first is Ramakrishna Indian Restaurant on Rideau St. We had a nice chat. I'm thrilled to have a great Indian restaurant nearby. I will be back to try their other items. Their medium was spicy, but I think I'll go one level up next time (which is medium-hot). They are in a strip mall with free parking in the shared lot with other businesses. Note that if you are going westbound on Carling you cannot turn into the strip mall because of the median. I recommend turning south at Woodroffe and then turning west onto Fox and following Fox until it hits Carling. Then take Carling eastbound and you'll be able to turn into the strip mall. This is better than overshooting the restaurant going westbound on Carling until you can do a U-turn. (1)
