    Still the best vegan restaurant in Ottawa. It is a busy place, called at 3pm to reserve seats for 7, they already fully booked. Upon our arrival, they managed to arrange our seats promptly. We ordered wholesome hot bowl and peaceful falafel wrap. Everything is delicious as expected.

    Cool 2-level location of this amazing vegan restaurant! Cool minimalist (and comfortable) furniture... beyond-compare customer service! Yay!

    Probably my favourite vegan restaurant in the Ottawa (now West!) area! If you haven't checked it out to try their Korean cauliflower-wings or their take on the kale-Caesar-salad or even their Royale-with-cheese nut burger... well... you're missing out! Fantastic selection of freshly-pressed juices and smoothies, too! You CAN'T be disappointed!

    The Short Version: Small casual vegetarian restaurant…read moreinside an International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) temple. Very affordable and food tasted good. The Long Version: I feel like many large urban cities have a restaurant called Govinda's that is inside an International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) temple (these were called Hare Krishna temples when I was growing up). This one is in Ottawa. I've been to the one in Toronto. And I know there's one in Montreal, although I've never been there. All these restaurants are of the same concept. They serve vegetarian food, it's usually a buffet, and the prices are very affordable. At this Govinda's the all you can eat buffet is $14 or $12 if you're a student (need to show student card) or a senior (65 or over, I'm assuming if you look young for your age they might ask for ID, lol). The takeout price is $10 and you get a tray with a little bit of everything. I got the take out tray. The takeout tray contained white basmati rice, pasta salad, green salad, daal, a kidney bean curry, some stewed cabbage, and a piece of banana bread. It was quite a lot of food for just $10. And what I really liked about it is that the curries were not oily at all. I find a lot of curries way too oily but these ones were great. The lentil curry (daal) and the bean curry were very flavourful. The stewed cabbage was good too. The green salad had romaine lettuce, cucumbers, and tiny pieces of bell pepper. It came with a creamy salad dressing. A bit too much salad dressing for my liking, but it wasn't too soggy and the dressing wasn't too oily. The pasta salad had some tofu crumble in it. It was okay but had a strange medicinal taste to it. The best part was the banana bread. It was a little crunchy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. Very delicious and not greasy at all. The dining room is small and feels like you're at a friend's house in the basement. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Some people are hesitant to go to these restaurants as they think those belonging to the temple may try to "convert" them. This has never happened to me neither in Ottawa or in Toronto. Be advised that you must remove your shoes and leave them in the boot trays in the foyer before entering the restaurant or the rest of the temple. So don't wear your Louboutins or Jimmy Choos, LOL. And make sure you wear matching socks with no holes in them. Haha. This location is on a residential street and in the University of Ottawa area. All other customers during my visit were students. I feel this place is a hidden gem. It serves healthy, delicious and inexpensive vegetarian food, so I'm a huge fan. Street parking only. Review #52 (2026)

    I'm not normally into vegetarian food, but this is a great spot to go as the weather gets cooler if…read moreyou're around uOttawa campus trying to eat on a budget. This is hearty food with plenty of lentils, pasta, rice, chickpea salad and delicious curries like their paneer curry. There was also some delicious banana bread on the side for dessert. Next time, I'm going to get their zucchini pakoras. Remember to take off your shoes once you get inside. The lady is very nice. I believe it used to be buffet (get your own) style but now she portions things out for you. You will be full for the entire day for $15.

    I enjoy getting take out from Mad Radish every so often when I'm in the mood for something healthy,…read morebut I'm too tired to cook myself. I have tried their Thai Curry Salad as well as their Maple Farm Bowl. Both were satisfying, but the new Maple Farm Bowl is my fav. It comes with a choice of Luisa's chicken or cilantro-lime tofu. I picked the tofu this time since I have tried their chicken before and the tofu was tasty, not too soft or too firm. The Maple Farm Bowl also has curry cauliflower, roasted sweet potato, feta, brown rice, mixed greens, crunchy chickpeas and maple chipotle dressing. I like to order my dressing on the side typically, so that I can control how much I want. The Maple Farm Bowl was pretty delicious and I wouldn't change anything about it except that I feel like the crunchy chickpeas don't really go with the rest of the Bowl. I think if they weren't crunchy then they would, but the crunchy texture just seemed out of place to me when I was eating it. Maybe others would like that though. I've never sat down to eat at Mad Radish, but the ambiance seemed nice enough and clean. The service has been good the times that I have picked up with my order ready to go. I hope that the Maple Farm Bowl stays on the menu and isn't a limited time only dish!

    I've been wanting to try Ottawa Perogies for some time, but they have limited hours and are a bit…read moreout of the way for me, so I only recently got around to it. 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. The service is good, all my questions were answered. Also tried pyrozhky, they were just ok. You can purchase Ukrainian souvenirs at this place as well.
