Proud of myself for discovering this newish Indian restaurant in its "off Broadway" location in a…read morebig box shopping area in Barrhaven. There aren't that many South Asian restaurants in the area right now and this one of course offers biryanis and quite a few other South Asian dishes that aren't all that available here. Most importantly, they are authentically seasoned and they have some quite spicy items on offer if you ask. I eat or order from here fairly often.

Ordered by phone. The order consisted of 3 Mutton Biriyani and 1 Chicken Biriyani. One of the group…read moreis allergic to Mutton - this was the reason for ordering the Chicken. Once we took the food home, the Chicken had been mixed with Mutton. As a result, the person allergic to Mutton could not have any food. Called the restaurant and was told that they were out of Chicken! Does that mean that the chef can mix whatever other Meat they have in place of Chicken? Don't they have a responsibility to inform the customer that they are out of Chicken? Do they realize that there are people who have allergies? What a useless place and useless service. Will not recommend at all.

This is the second time we've eaten here. The first time was when the name changed from "Chillies"…read morebut the old sign was still on the building, with the new name draped over top. That experience was a lot better than expected, and we had planned to return. Plans came to fruition today! We got the Mixed Appy Platter to start. Mains chosen were Goat Masala, Kadai Paneer. 4pc Tandoori chicken, and family size garlic naan. Hearty, tasty, beautifully balanced flavours. Spice level chosen was medium - hot enough to waken your palette but not blow your head off. Ambiance was cozy and quiet, which we LOVE. We tend to eat early, so having the restaurant to ourselves is always a treat. Staff was welcoming and hospitable.

We got in fairly late and were starving. This place popped up as open, and sounded good since we…read morehadn't had Indian food in awhile. They have a pretty good size menu, so it took awhile to sort through. We ended up with the Vegetable Hakka Noodles, Tandoori Chicken, Family Garlic Naan, Chicken Saagwala, and the Kachumber Salad. The Hakka noodles were delicious, hadn't had these before but would definitely get again, they are actually really good as cold leftovers the next day as well. The Tandoori Chicken was great, bone in and cooked perfectly. Not too spicy, even my daughter ate some. The Family garlic naan really is FAMILY sized, absolutely huge, too big for our small family of three. Really good naan, and pretty impressed they can cook one this size, it paired so well with the chicken saagwala. The chicken mixed with the greens was delicious unlike other dishes we've had, it was probably the favorite dish we ordered. Their kachumber salad was quite nice, cold salad, really fresh feeling and the light seasoning blend they add to it was really nice to balance it out. This is a great spot to get some quality food.

We have only ever ordered take-out from Karara and some of the items are fantastic: onion bajis…read more(different, but really good), veggie samosas, the naan is Amazing, and all the food is always fresh and enjoyable however, the dishes are a bit unusual. 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!!!

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!

I ordered delivery from Brampton Authentic so I can't comment on accessibility and bathrooms…read more My friends and I were craving Indian food and have had mixed success with this in Ottawa. After experiencing Toronto's amazing Indian food, I was worried Ottawa's wouldn't measure up; I was wrong. Brampton Authentic offers amazing, flavourful and authentic Indian food. The portions are amazing, and they offer vegan and vegetarian dishes. The food arrived promptly and was hot. The dishes are large and included rice. I ordered two mains with Naan and rice and it fed four people with lots of leftovers and with tax and tip was about $65.00. I ordered way too much food. I'll be ordering from here again.

The naan and rotis were good and just as Punjabi restaurants in GTA (Brampton?). The vegan mixed vegetables curry was a huge disappointment. Not great tasting and bit more In the greasy side. The quality and taste is one but even the container provided was hardly 1/2 full. For almost $20! Not too sure we would buy even a paneer curry 1/2 full for that price.
