Absolutely terrible. What are these people giving excellent reviews comparing this place to, I haven't the slightest idea. The naan was undercooked and chewy, the butter chicken was totally tasteless, and nothing was even close to being rated as " not bad". The service was friendly and polite, but that was about it.
I've eaten Indian food in countless restaurants across Canada, as well as home made Indian in people's personal kitchens, so trust me when I say don't even bother with this place.
Heaven on Earth should sum it up!! Dear God! The food is truly to die for! The butter chicken, the Chicken Tikka Masala, Malai Kofta, Naan, Haryali Kabab, ...!!
They should open more restaurants all over Canada!! We need this quality of food everywhere!
THIS IS THE BEST INDIAN FOOD IN OTTAWA. A little...
THIS IS THE BEST INDIAN FOOD IN OTTAWA. A little hole in the wall, to be sure, but the food is SO worth it. If you're a Naan bread fan like me, you'll CRAVE their garlic/cilantro naan bread....it's to die for, and there is no other bread in the city like it. Go...you will not be disappointed!
My husband and I have been patrons of this restaurant for years. We have gone for dinner wherein we would order and share the orders among us, and we have gone for the lunch buffet and sunday lunch buffet. The best time to arrive is usually noon. Though, I must add it is open until two for the buffet. We are always pleased with Rom's food. It is freshly made for you in the evening and even during the buffet, your naan is freshly done for you from the tandoor oven. Small kitchen but huge flavour. As for meat ingredients: Always there is tandoor chicken and butter chicken as mainstays on the buffet. They change the kormas and other things from lamb to beef to vegetable and maybe all three at times. This has never changed all the time that we have gone and their quality is consistently great. Best curry that we know of in town! Happy Diwali to Rom and his staff.
Even though it's a tiny restaurant, kinda like a hole in the wall, the food that comes out of that kitchen is out of this world. Everything tastes superior, and it is a great treat for anyone who wants to discover Indian food at its best. I have family members who are picky eaters who love this place. The taste is just so good and rich, it is well worth every penny. I suggest with larger parties to reserve in advance, or take advantage of the take out.
Suffice to say, if you like Indian food - YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
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.
