India Cafe, ByWard Market

CA$10–20

The food was overpriced and it tasted very average. It tasted like something you could make at home with the jar of premade curries. The old man present was rude and we did not feel wanted there. There was no background music and at one point we were alone and it felt awkward to even speak since it was so quiet. I had a butter chicken and my friend had a briani. They were both a huge let down. Don’t waste your money there.

I have passed this restaurant many times but only just recently tried it. The Tikka wrap caught my eye. It’s a little unsuspecting but this place is amazing!!! All Naan is made fresh to order. The chicken was flavourful and juicy. The wrap was delicious! I can’t wait to go back, bring friends and try more!!! I highly recommend this little hidden gem.

Absolutely delicious Indian food, AMAZING prices. Good vegetarian options. We ordered the onion bhaji combo (yummy lentil and fried onion balls which were super mild as I appreciate spices but I don’t like food that is too hot) with salad and the tandoori chicken combo which was also amazing and is served with rice and salad. They also have mango lassi! YUM! I recommend India Cafe 100%

Great Indian food that you can get quickly! I love Indian food, and eat it whenever I get the chance as it's a lot of work to make at home. I had the beef curry and lamb curry another time, and both were so tender and served with basmati rice and a salad. All of it just hit the spot perfectly. I also had an onion bhaji which was super good and was like $2 I think. Super nice owners. Go there!

Nice small restaurant run by a nice gentleman and his family. If you are on a budget then definitely give it a go. Beef samosas are popular among its patrons. I opted for an onion bhaji and found it great. Curries have home made touch and naans are fluffy. Halal options are available (I didn't try meat curries though). The hours are amazing. You can also find this place open on Mondays when other Desi places are closed. Great on days when it is bright outside as this place has large windows to do people watching.

Quaint home-style mom-and-pop Indian restaurant in the Byward market. Authentic Indian street food. Simple eatery, very reasonably priced. Generous portions. Options range from a plated serving, or wraps. Felt like we were guests dining in their home. The hosts were very kind. The shop also sells Indian spices to take home, and even tubes of mehndi (henna)!

The very best butter chicken I've ever had! It is bursting with flavor yet still very mild as far as hot spices go. Huge portions for very fair price. The owners are the staff and are so lovely and customer service oriented! We come here every year on our trip to Ottawa. Definitely recommend!

Was the worst Indian food I ever had. I ordered tandoori chicken it tasted old and the Curry chicken was nothing to talk about. Will never go there again
