" Delicious food but the takeout process can be a bit confusing. I ordered a few dishes, and it was a little hard to decipher which was which without proper labeling. That said, what I ate was memorable—the palak paneer, especially. A great spot for Indian cuisine if you’re in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I have to admit the restaurant ambiance is inviting, my experience was candidly not as great as expected. The butter chicken was rich in flavor but incredibly lacking in portion size compared to the price we paid. It left me wanting more, and for the amount charged, I expected a fuller plate. Not sure if I’ll be back soon, which is sad because the taste was delightful! " (*Curated Review*)

" So much to say! Delicious food with an extensive menu. I particularly enjoyed the goat curry, which was rich and flavorful. The service was prompt, and even with a busy night, they ensured we were taken care of. This restaurant is definitely a staple for anyone who enjoys Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Aahar with my friend for lunch and we were impressed with the buffet options. The food was tasty and freshly prepared. It would be nice to have a bit more vegetarian variety, but overall we enjoyed our meals and our time there. Great for a quick midweek lunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" Aahar has quickly become my go-to for Indian food! Their paneer tikka is marinated perfectly, and the spiciness is just right! The service has been consistently good every time—friendly and helpful. The space is a bit compact but welcoming. I’ll keep spreading the word about this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here expecting great Indian food based on recommendations, and I was not disappointed! The bhindi masala was perfectly cooked and seasoned. However, the service was a bit on the slower side, as we had to wait longer for our drinks. Despite that, the taste was excellent, and I'm looking forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect given the location, but this restaurant has completely changed my perception of Indian dining in Ottawa. Each dish I've tried has been flavorful, especially the chana masala! The service was prompt, and while it was a little busy, we felt taken care of. I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)
