I think their food is better than Thali across the street, but the atmosphere at Thali is more inviting. Really good variety of dishes. We started with the soups; we had three different ones, all were delicious. Really good curries, biryani, and veg thali as well. One small note of caution is we came here one evening and they were out of thalis and out of some other dishes. Came back for lunch and no problems.

This evening ( 31 August 2025), we ordered a dosa and egg muppas ( entree) for our dinner. To our surprise, the muppas were served within no time, while the dosa was served well after 25 to 30 minutes!! For any Indian foodie, this would immediately raise suspicion about the food, as the dosa should not take any time to prepare, while the other than takes some time to cook. Anyway, when I tasted the eggs on the entree, the yoke was very cold and the bread served with the entree was also just lukewarm. When I questioned the waiter, why the yolk is so cold, she did not answer the question and was trying to persuade it is ok. Upon further pushback, the waiter said, this food was served in the afternoon buffet and we just used the leftover food!! They serve recycled food and expect the customer to pay the full price and they do not want to even hide that!! So if you choose to visit this restaurant, make sure you get the fresh food.

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.

Urban Indian Cafe has been one of my go-to's whenever there's a craving for an Indian meal at work!…read more It all started with the paneer Naanwich couple years ago, then I slowly tried the other entree dishes to share with my colleagues. I was however a little disappointed with my recent order, ordered butter chicken and it turned out like butter chicken soup (really watered down). I will still order again with them in the future but likely sticking with the simple snacks to avoid disappointment.

I stopped by this new Indian restaurant for lunch, and overall I felt the food was ok…read more I spoke with the owner a bit and it is the same owner that used to run Urban Tandoor Indian Cuisine in Bells Corners and Urban Turban Indian Cuisine in Kanata. He decided to close both full service restaurants and switch to a more fast food model, which is what is in place here at Urban Indian Cafe. They have a good sized menu and I was really happy to see that they serve Hakka dishes, as Hakka cuisine is still relatively difficult to find here in Ottawa. I wish that they had some Hakka lunch specials or platters. Since they didn't, I went for the Chicken Curry Quick Platter ($9.95), which consisted of chicken curry, basmati rice and a small salad. The curry chicken was lean boneless chicken breast, which I really appreciated (I hate it when restaurants give you gristly pieces, and I also don't like picking through bones, so definitely points for lean boneless meat). It was pretty mild, which I guess is the default, so if you like more spice, you need to let them know. The rice was fluffy and not clumpy. The salad was mostly iceberg lettuce, with some cucumbers, tomatoes and red onions. The dressing was a yogurt based dressing. The salad was really small, but ingredients were fresh. Overall, it was an alright meal, but it lacked any wow factor for me. This may be because I ordered a pretty standard item. I think what I ordered would be good for someone new to Indian cuisine. The owner said that the Malai Chicken is very popular. It was around $18 though, and I think that's just for the chicken and no sides. I was also eyeing the Chilli Chicken but that was around $15 and I also think it comes with no sides. I personally find these prices a little high, especially for a takeout place, but I have to remind myself that this is Ottawa and not Toronto where I can get a lunch special at a sit-down restaurant consisting of Chilli Chicken, rice, a spring roll and a can of pop for $6.99 and it's all delicious and I'd be stuffed silly. I find it hard not to make such comparisons. However, to be fair, their prices for Hakka dishes are similar to those of other restaurants in Ottawa serving Hakka cuisine. I may come back to try some of the more expensive offerings for dinner sometime. The place is bright and clean looking. There are lots of tables to eat in. I will say that I was a tad disappointed that even though I was eating in, my food was served in a styrofoam container (I was given metal cutlery though). I'm not a huge fan of styrofoam for many reasons (environmental and health - hot foods in styrofoam means chemicals leaching into the food). I prefer aluminum, but I realize there is a cost difference. I would suggest that real plates be used for dine-in guests though. Service was nice. The owner even asked me how I was enjoying the meal partway through, which is something I didn't expect at a fast food place. Right now there is a 10% discount offer with a Yelp check-in. I did use this discount on my meal. The restaurant is a nice addition to the area, so I really hope that they do well. It's in the Elmvale Mall, in the same strip as Capital Shawarma and Pies, and Oh Basil, so lots of free parking.

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 first visit the restaurant was crowded and busy with two large parties (both very lively and friendly). This visit was quiet with about four tables occupied with sit down guests. There seemed to be a lot of pick up orders as quite a few people came in for food and left. The restaurant is very clean with lots of light coming in from the window and doors. It's a casual setting but you could dress up and still feel comfortable. I will definitely go back to this restaurant on my future visits to Ottawa.
