" A lovely vegetarian restaurant! The experience was warm and inviting, with quick service. The chutneys served with the food were amazing. However, I found the biryani a bit uninspiring. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my meal and will likely return for the friendly atmosphere and variety. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things about Balista, I decided to finally try with a group of friends. The food was fantastic! We ordered several dishes, and everything was seasoned perfectly. The downside was the wait time for our food, which was longer than we anticipated. But once the food arrived, it was nothing short of delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my time at Balista! The ambience was vibrant and welcoming. Every dish we ordered – from the burgers to the samosas – had robust flavors true to Indian cuisine. The only downside was that the portions felt a tad small for the price. Still, I can't wait to go back and try their desserts next time. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in Ottawa! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an incredible find for Indian vegetarian food in Ottawa! The peri peri fries are to die for! The place has a fun vibe and the staff was super friendly. I was disappointed with the size of the burger, but the flavor was on point. If you’re looking for something different, Balista’s fusion dishes will not disappoint! " (*Curated Review*)

" Balista holds a special place in my heart because it makes me feel at home with every bite I take. The flavors resonate with my family's cooking back in India. From their samosas to the milkshakes, each dish is crafted with care. The only downside was that the service was a bit slow, but the tasty food made up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve had a fantastic experience every time I’ve gone to Balista! The ambiance is vibrant and inviting, perfect for a night out with friends. I absolutely love their jamun shots, and the pizza is definitely worth a try. Service is fast, and I always leave feeling satisfied. Highly recommend for anyone looking for excellent vegetarian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! The jamun shots were phenomenal and so refreshing. I also loved their peri peri fries but found the portion size could be a bit larger. The ambience is cozy and perfect for a casual hangout with friends. Highly recommend this spot for vegetarian lovers! Can't wait to return with more friends next time. " (*Curated Review*)
