Excellent food. Horrible wait time for takeout especially during special occasions. We ordered our food one hour ahead and still had to wait another 45 minutes to get the food. We would have left but our guests were from out of town and we didn't have another option so late. There were many others also waiting and it was total chaos with staff. I'm going to look for other Indian restaurants. It was a negative experience for us.
Having had past bad experiences with Indian food I was somewhat reluctant to try again, but gave it the old college try. In fact, my old mantra was, "the best indian food is worse than the worse chinese food on the market". I found this to be an absolute delightful experience from the get go. The woman who waited on us was very attentive and made recommendations and even the cook came out to speak to us to double check that our meal was satisficatory. It was beyond expectations. The atmosphere was clean and bright and all the patrons in this small establishment left happy and content. My only concern is that I live 2 and a half hours aways and only get to Ottawa every few months. What a gem. If you are looking for high quality Indian food, head over to Little Indian.
I've been here a couple times. I've been to the lunch buffet which is amazing and also for supper. I took my boyfriend here because its sooo good. My favourite food is Indian and his is Chinese. When we were eating together we were in food heaven and I asked him if Chinese food is his favourite now? and he said this is way better than Chinese! The Naan is great, you can even get it with your buffet - everything is soo tasty. My friend first took me here 8 or 9 years ago and it was my first time trying indian food and now im hooked to Little India Cafe. I'm glad that they renovated recently it needed an update. Oh yes and the service is good too friendly people :)
This is the ABSOLUTE best restaurant in the CITY....by far....the best Indian food....BY FAR.... I can not wait to go again...THE VEGETARIAN FOOD is so so so incredible!!!! I have been vegetarian for 40 years, eaten all over the world, and actually even own the PEACE-GARDEN in the Byward Market. I know what amazing food is...We bring everyone from out of town here we can...for the best treat we can possibly offer them!!!!
North Indian cuisine is a creamier and more well-known regional variation that often incorporates tandoor-cooked meats and naan bread, lamb, and spices like cumin, cardamom and saffron. Little India Café offers an authentic North Indian dining experience with a décor inspired by landmarks of the region, including the awe-inspiring Taj Mahal. Chef Ram Chander excels in everything he does, but the chicken dishes – butter, korma and tikka – are customer favourites.
