" We visited Festival of India upon a friend's recommendation, and boy, was it fantastic! The chicken saag was bursting with flavor, and the samosas were crispy and fresh. The staff was attentive and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Overall, a delightful dining adventure – can’t wait to come back and bring more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an amazing experience at Festival of India! The food was exceptionally tasty and outrageously good. We ordered several dishes to share, and everything was seasoned perfectly, spot on. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was inviting. We're definitely going back soon. If you enjoy Indian food, this place should be at the top of your list! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent Indian food with friendly service. However, some of the flavors were lacking. The butter chicken was very good, but the rest of the dishes didn’t excite me much. A relaxed atmosphere made for a pleasant meal, but I was hoping for an authentic experience that was a bit more robust. " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to drop by on a weekday evening, and while the food was good, the long wait times were disappointing. The butter chicken was flavorful, but the garlic naan could have been fresher. I did appreciate the warm atmosphere and attentive staff, so I'm willing to give it another chance sometime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience overall! The food was incredible. We ordered a variety of dishes, and every one was tasty. The ambience of the restaurant was great—it made for a comfortable dining atmosphere. The service was good, too; we really felt welcomed by the staff. Looking forward to coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Good experience overall but had some hiccups. We waited a long time for our order to be taken, but once the food arrived, the quality was evident. I found the garlic naan delightful, but the chicken curry could have used more spices. Would still recommend it to others due to the warm service. " (*Curated Review*)

" This has become my favorite restaurant in Ottawa! Everything from the chicken tikka masala to the garlic naan is simply delicious. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is always friendly. I highly recommend trying their lunch specials. Great value for money! " (*Curated Review*)
