" I have to say, I'm disappointed with my recent visit to Light of India. The menu looked promising, but the food I received lacked seasoning entirely. I tried the butter chicken and the flavor was way too sweet and far from authentic. The staff were friendly and seemed eager to please, but the effort fell flat when it came to the main dishes. It's unfortunate because I really wanted to enjoy my meal. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but I don't think I'd hurry back. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Light of India, I decided to take my family there for a special dinner. The decor was inviting, and the staff warmly welcomed us. We opted for a series of small dishes to share, including the Biryani and Paneer Tikka. Unfortunately, I felt the Biryani was a bit overcooked and lacked the depth of flavor I expected. The Paneer Tikka was good, however, and we finished with a delightful dessert. Service also could have been quicker. Overall, it was a pleasant evening but left me wanting a bit more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited on a busy Saturday evening and the place was full. The excitement in the air was palpable. Service was somewhat slower due to the crowd, but understandable. I recommend the lunch buffet; it offers a great variety of dishes to sample. The flavors were well-represented and very much aligned with authentic Indian cuisine. I’ll make it a point to return for dinner next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic food! The flavors are vibrant and true to Indian cuisine. The restaurant's decor creates a unique atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. I had the pleasure of speaking with the owner, who shared insights about the dishes and their preparations. He was incredibly passionate about the food, which was evident in every bite. I'll certainly be returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! I went in for a quick lunch and ended up experiencing a treasure trove of flavors. I was particularly impressed by their coconut curry and the fresh, fluffy naan. The atmosphere was pleasant and very cozy. The service staff were courteous and quick. I'll definitely be back, this place truly stands out! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my favorite Indian restaurant in Ottawa! The food is consistently delicious, and the service is always attentive. It's hard to decide my favorite dish because everything has been fantastic! Their naan is the best I've had, and the butter chicken is creamy and rich. I feel grateful to have this gem in my neighborhood! " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely little spot for Indian cuisine! The atmosphere was pleasant, decorated with vibrant colors, and definitely felt authentic. I enjoyed the chicken korma; it was creamy and flavorful. Service was decent but there were a few hiccups with our order. Overall a nice experience, I would be excited to return to try more from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
