" While the service was very friendly, the food left me wanting more in terms of flavor. The butter chicken was fine but not extraordinary, and the garlic naan, though fluffy, was just average. I appreciate the attempt at creating a cozy ambiance, but I didn’t find it as memorable as I’d hoped. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely the best Indian food in Ottawa! My wife and I shared the vegetarian thali, and it was a feast! Each dish had its own distinct taste, and the staff was incredibly friendly. We felt like we were dining at a relative's. The atmosphere was calming, perfect for a cozy dinner. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here with my family for the first time and we were all blown away by the flavors. The butter chicken was the star of our meal; it was rich and creamy, just like I expected. The naan was warm and fluffy, the best I’ve had in a long while. The only downside was the wait; it took a bit longer than anticipated, but it was worth it in the end. I can't wait to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit and will definitely not be my last! The butter chicken was on point, and the mango lassi was refreshing. Friendly staff who really put effort into making customers feel at home. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming—one of the best experiences I’ve had dining out lately! " (*Curated Review*)

" Highly recommend Festival of India! We had the non-vegetarian platter, and it was a feast! The variety of flavors was incredible, and the service was friendly and quick. The only downside was the cramped space, but it was worth it for the food! Will definitely be returning. " (*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*)
