We had lunch at India Curry and Kebab House. We ordered a biryani, chicken vindaloo, and naan. Honestly, the food didn’t meet our expectations. The biryani was mediocre, and the chicken vindaloo was the worst I’ve ever had. It had a strangely bitter taste. I don’t mean to say that all the food there is terrible, but this was a significant letdown. However the service and atmosphere were excellent. The place is very clean.

We spontaneously went to this restaurant for dinner and were very satisfied. The curry platter was enough to feed two adults fully, we got the veg platters and everything was pretty good. Chicken biryani was made with all breast meat and was also delicious. And dosa was also very good. Also for starters, it is hard to pull off a veg kebab but I think they did pretty good with their hara bhara kebab. Service was reasonable and quick Price is definitely on a higher range but they deliver it in quality.

Don’t waste your money like I did … I’ve ordered one Paneer Korma and Naan .. Korma didn’t look like Korma (not rich gravy .. more like buttery it was ). and there were flies all around one was consistently on my bread basket. I complained about my issues as well but no positive outcome . So I quickly ate what I ordered whether liked or not and left. Check the photos and videos for reference .

Honestly just the best Indian cuisine in Ottawa! I love getting the Mixed Grill Plater, you get a taste of everything while also getting your fill. I love chatting with the friendly staff and owner, just a great vibe! I would highly recommend you give it a try

I'm so glad we explore more outside of the Byward Market...and we saw this gem! The buffet (all you can eat) was amazing! $30+ plus tax is a good deal. One of you can also order on the menu..like $16-18 per meal. If you love rice, naan bread, lamb, chicken with great taste, this place is a must! Thank you Vikrant for the wonderful service!

We randomly chose this restaurant and had an amazing experience. The food was delicious. We enjoyed chicken tikka (the presentation was spectacular), hot and sour soup (absolutely delicious), and chicken biryani (very good). Everything was satisfying and fulfilling. My 7-year-old son loved the food. If we visit Ottawa again, we will definitely return to this restaurant. Highly recommended, it will leave you with cherished memories and delightful food. Last but not least, Karan, who served us, was polite and attentive, ensuring everything was perfect at our table. He consistently checked on all the customers, providing excellent customer service. Applause to him!👏

India and curry kabob house is hands down the best India restaurant in Ottawa !! Jagadeesh and his team provide an uncompromising experience, from the quality of the food to the friendliness of the servers. Having organized many events and having used this restaurant to cater for 1000 plus people at times , they are my go to people for a trusted experience!! Hope to see them expand further and grow !!

My wife and I had a phenomenal experience dining at ICKH! Food was delicious and the service provided by Rahul was memorable in just how exceptional it was...on numerous levels. Neither of us is well-versed in Indian cuisine so the pages of meal options, organized by type, was a bit bewildering. But there was no rush to order, a tasty starter food kept us happily occupied as we considered our options, and Rahul answered all of our questions. This was our first full day in Ottawa as tourists, so we were also very appreciative of Rahuls willingness to address our non-gastric based tourist questions. Side note: I enjoyed the modern Indian music being played featuring an impressive array of musicians and sounds. Vishal Mishras song Manjha was a highlight! We are looking forward to returning on Christmas day for their buffet! I will bring a good appetite and am looking forward to the experience. Christmas memories for a lifetime!

Excellent Indian food, we tasted Hara Bhara Kabab, Malai Kofta platter and lassi. Must have the platter, they provide delicious mixed veg and choley in it. Enough for 2 people. Also the service was amazing, was single handheld by amazing person. Something which they can improve upon is their ambience which gives kind of 5yrs old look.

Amazing food! Thank god I stumbled upon this restaurant, it was really delicious especially the garlic naan, my goodness, the softness of this naan and the fresh garlic taste! It was mindblowing! I normally dont have naan because of its texture, stiffness and dryness but this restaurant just made it lovable!! I had ordered hara bhara kebab, mushroom 65, paneer lababdar and mint yogurt! I would definitely all these items if you are a big Indian food fan! Please keep up the quality, service and price

I went there with family who have never eaten Indian cuisine and who loved their first experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to experiment with Indian cuisine, as long as youre willing to deal with a bit of heat, which goes with Indian. Vegetarian options: Many buffet meals contain tofu and beans. When in doubt, an a la carte menu is offered

The food was amazing. We ordered hara bhara kebab which was 10/10 along with the chutneys they provided. In the main course we ordered two curries dum aloo benarasi and Konkani fish curry along with Garlic Naan. Taste of both curries were good. The marination of fish lacked a bit of salt otherwise the taste was too good. Since summers have started the patios have opened and it was on a not-so-busy street of Downtown Ottawa. We finished the meal with a Rasmalai (Dessert) at the end - Taste was good!

But day before yesterday like on new year s eve we ordered buffet , i cant remember name of that person who was serving to us like one who joined a month or 2 ago , he has been so so rude , he said us not to share buffet , we agreed but what was the point of staring at us with frowning looks throughout the time we were sitting there , he was staring alot that was quite inappropriate and disrespectful towards your customers !

As well, your orders is always exactly as ordered which is a big plus in today s service. I strongly recommend this restaurant.

January 22, 2024

I ordered from Uber eats because of all the positive reviews I had seen of this place and was pretty excited. However, after receiving the food, my disappointment was immense and day almost ruined. The chicken biryani was super salty, the butter chicken came in a criminal serving size and the naan bread tasted store bought. I thought I would try somewhere else because I only order Indian from one place in the City but after yesterday, I will stick to what I know. Beware yall! Not sure who writes all these positive reviews.

I really loved how I could try a bit of everything and as much as I wanted! There s a salad section, naan, many different types of curries and even desert. Each of them still keep high quality and deliciousness! You may have to wait at times for certain dishes to refill but it s usually within 5-10 minutes. Waiters were kind but for us buffet people, basically just leave you to it and don t come by for anything really unless you ask. Definitely recommend!

Was not happy as we were 7 of us and they charged gratuity (18%). I had been to other indian restaurants in down town area and never been charged gratuity Once again visited this place yesterday since we enjoyed the appetizers during our last visit. Enjoyed Chicken Tangdi Kebab, Lamb chaap and Malai Soya Chaap. Food was good as usual but service was not at par. Very slow service. Parking: It is hard to get free parking since it is busy steet.

Not a place that I suggest you to have food. We went to this restaurant on a long weekend so as the place was too busy. The waitress asked us to have buffet or else we ll have to wait for an hour. We tried buffet and the food was so bad . Had the feeling they gave us the food which nobody order in the menu.Moreover the manager was behaving rude. We are new to the city and the impression with food was really disappointing. The food never met the price value. Food is really overpriced for the quality. They could have kept timbits for the dessert because that tastes better.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Indian Curry and Kebab House, a charming Indian restaurant located in the heart of the city. As a fan of Indian cuisine, Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance For starters, I opted for the Vegetable Samosas the accompanying mint chutney provided a refreshing contrast to the savory flavors. As for the main course, I decided to try their Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Naan. The chicken was tender and succulent, coated in a creamy tomato-based sauce that had just the right amount of spice. The naan bread was perfectly baked, soft on the inside with a delightful buttery crust. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring that I left the restaurant feeling fully satisfied. The prices were reasonable In conclusion, Indian Curry and Kebab House is a fantastic I cant wait to return and indulge in more of their mouthwatering dishes!

By far the best Indian style kababs I have had in Canada. I would highly recommend their Fish Tikka for starters. Naan breads were super freshly and the gravy was ginger licking good. Parking: Lots of paid public parking available nearby

We ve been going there since October 2019 and never found a better place to replace where we feel home. In between, there was change of owners but they quality and hospitality did only go up. The current owner is very kind and talented businessman. He cares about what matters the most for the customers and I guess that is all I want to see in a host. Good food, feeling of home and respect at client we have paisa wasul experience:) Dietary restrictions: Halal, vegetarian and gluten free everyone has got something to enjoy there.

Phenomenal kebab! We got an exclusive conversation with the owner, who has some very good insights. We also learned that hes been running this place for 27 years and went to culinary school in southern India. It shows! He understood my taste in spice and it was delicious. My wife almost cried it was so good. Highly recommend.

The manager is HORRIBLE AND RUDE.He treated the group so poorly. He was so condescending. The customer service is really bad. We waited 1 hour for our food and on top of this they got the order horribly messed up. I understand the mistake with food but manager s behaviour was disgusting. We will never go to the restaurant ever again.

The manager s behavior was disgusting. The restaurant was not crowded and i still had to wait for an hour to get the food, and when it came, it wasn t what we ordered. The customer service is quite bad and the people here are unapologetic about it.

Had the buffet. Top tip, it stops at 9.00pm, if, like us, you get there after 8.00 items will be unavailable and they will start kicking you out at 8.40! Food that we had was OK, but restricted choice. A la carte seems to serve later.

It s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing service and food.staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. Food served on time no delays even for second orders. Making the customers happy is their main priority. Do yourself a favour and visit this lovely restaurant with family and friends.

Service, Ambience was fantastic. Food was good but they put a lot of green chillies in it. We asked for spicy and all they did was add crazy amount of green chillies in it. Server was very helpful. They do have Patio and sunday they have buffet. Paneer Lababdar is always nice here. Wont recommend any stuffed parathas/naans.

This is the worst restaurant I have ever visited. They dont even know how to treat their customer some of the staff was so rude. I had the worst experience and will never recommened this place to anyone. the food is not properly cooked. and when we complained it is not properly cooked they started showing us arrogance. Even they charged us 18% tip on the name of gratuity and they didnt even informed us initially that it will be charged over our bill and the reason they give us for charging it as amandate was they served us late. If that was the case they should have informed us upfrontly that they will be charing us 18% over the bill then we would have considered a different place. But no they chose to just charge the same without even letting us know.

Mediocre experience overall, some dishes were quite good, but unfortunately service is so poor, its the kind of service that gives desis a really bad name. I recommend hiring more professional staff

Plastic filled naan and roti. Naan filled with plastic brush bristles and Roti filled with wrap plastic. Such a worst eatery . I pity on folks who had posted with great 5 stars look for quality before taste. Thanks. Thanks for ur response, visit date was Aug 5, 2023 around 6 pm. Your staff acknowledged that bristle particle is from the plastic brush your chef is using for cleaning on hot pan and plastic wrap used while storing dough in fridge. I have the video proof of it.

Ive been coming here for years and years (both dine-in and delivery) because its always been the best Indian restaurant in Ottawa. I dont know what happened, if they got a new chef or changed their recipes or its something to do with their new plastic takeout containers or what, but when I ordered last night it definitely was not the best anymore. They used to make thick, creamy curries, but when we ordered curries last night we got soups instead. It was the thinnest curry Ive ever had, just watery and disappointing, like all the cheaper Indian places in Ottawa that I try to avoid. Ive had their paneer and mushroom vindaloo countless times, and what I got last night was absolutely not what Ive expected in the past. It was more like a few mushrooms floating in spicy water. I hope they change back to the food they used to make, which was always delicious and satisfying. With the quality of the food that I received last night, Im not sure Ill be coming back. Edit: You can take the gentle criticism of a loyal customer to heart, or you can try and gaslight me by saying our vindaloo has always been that way. I can assure you it hasnt been, and if you had actually read my review, youd address the fact that I was comparing your new watery vindaloo to your old tasty one. If this is the restaurants way of dealing with feedback, I guess I got my answer: I simply will stop spending my money at your restaurant if youre telling me that this far worse dish is what I should expect from now on.

An absolute nightmarish of an experience. The food was way too spicy. Felt like the chef just used up half an ounce of green chillies just to cook a portion of Daal makhni. They have no clue of spice levels mean. On any given day, Dal makhani and rice is considered to be comfort food but this was the exact opposite. Barely got to just a few spoons of rice.

I ordered a set meal of lamb leg and shoulder meat, and the waiter described the type of food incorrectly. I repeatedly confirmed that it was a complete lamb leg, but the meal I received was chopped meat pieces. A bowl the size of a fist costs $28. During the waiting period, I asked for a glass of water, but the waiter didnt give me until i leave, but I still paid a 13% tip ,tasted not bad but not worth it,and I wont go again

Oct 2023. Paid parking is available. Tried the buffet for $30 plus hst per person. All was very delicious. Tip is to check every dish before loading your plate. Unfortunately I had had lots of delicious veggie dishes on the right before realizing that the sumptuous meat dishes were at the far left. Will definitely return

Happened to stumble upon this place with my husband on a cold Friday evening, and had no idea what to expect. The food is excellent, and the staff are very kind, cordial, and accommodating of allergies (celiac disease and a dairy allergy). Highly recommend the mixed kebab platter, cooked in the tandoori oven! Thanks so much.

Chicken biryani was WILD. This is coming from a Karachi person who knows what real biryani is. When they say its hot, it IS hot! Chai was also good. I went in with low expectations due to my experiences with other Indian restaurants but this one exceeded my expectations. Although it is a bit on the fancier side. $20 for a biryani is too much imo but the taste and the ambience makes it worth it. Dietary restrictions: Halal
