Chose Mia based on the 4.6 rating on google and ordered butter chicken and garlic naan for takeout. Came $27. Unfortunately it was quite underwhelming. The broth was super watery and did not have the flavor of your typical butter chicken. Don’t plan on going back.

Was very nice. Good value. Crispy popadoms. Pakuras were good, but could have been a little crispier. Very creamy and tomato heavy butter chicken. Very nice lamb curry, with green peppers and onions. Good service. Thx

Having been a huge fan - sadly the last time we went was not the quality we had expected. We ordered 2 chicken based dishes neither of which had any breast meat - just fatty off cuts. We do not complain but neither do we return - very sad as we thought this restaurant was a winner having been many times.

$93 for a terrible meal. $21 for Butter Chicken that was so dry and over-cooked i could hardly swallow it, not to mention it was less than 8 oz of chicken....for $21!. The Chicken Biryani was ordered "mild" and it was so hot my poor wife who is breastfeeding had to spit it into our kitchen sink so it wouldn't get into her milk. We love spicy, but this was ridiculous and they completely messed up, it was very far from "mild" - we had to throw the entire dish away. The naan was average, and the Chapati was the worst i have had. I feel ripped off.

My boyfriend and I get takeout from here often and we love it! Our meals are always incredible, the order is always complete and packed well and the staff are incredibly lovely! I highly recommend. Our favourites are the samosas, the lamb vindaloo and of course the butter chicken 😊

Had dinner with some friends here recently and the staff were very accommodating and kind. The service was quick and food was cooked perfectly. I highly recommend the lamb Rogan Josh, it was delicious, as were the samosas that we tried. We all were pleasantly surprised by the quality and service here.

Eight of us went there for dinner last night to celebrate Mother's Day. Very nice and cozy restaurant, with a wonderful and patient staff. The owner was on site and very nice. Once our order was placed, the food came very quickly. Every dish we ordered was deliciously fresh and plentiful. I was advised that they did not use any nuts/peanuts in their cooking, which was amazing given that this was of concern to us. A huge bonus! Our family will definitely go back. Greatly recommend this gem.

An absolute surprise and gem of the Indian cuisine in ottawa. This little place will not disappoint and they have such a great wine selection, which will surprise you. The owners are amazingly nice. Forget the places that have massive lines and people, this should be your first choice for traditional Indian food in ottawa.

1 star just because we did eat 25% of food. We did a pick up for platter for 2 but food was more than enough for 3 people, instructions given was food should be indian spicy, instead we received super bland food, no flavours. It did not taste fresh, discarded 75% of food.

Mias on St. Laurent is possibly the best Indian food in Ottawa. Ive been going there to eat and getting take out for 10 years now and I wouldnt consider ordering from any other Indian resturant in Ottawa. The owner and staff and very friendly and will go out of their way to assist or make suggestions

Best Indian food in the city as far as Im concerned, and at very reasonable prices! Couldnt speak to its authenticity though. I like to call ahead for some tikka or butter chicken from work, and its consistently ready for takeout by the time I get there 20-30 minutes later. Still hot when I get home too! Havent ever actually been inside, but again, the food is great and very reasonably priced!

Mia s is our favourite Indian restaurant in the city. We ve ordered from them lots of times and every time it is consistently excellent. The naan bread is the best I ve ever had and we also love the chicken masala, chicken dansak, and saag aloo. We ve also eaten in the restaurant a few times and the service was very good. I definitely recommend giving Mia s a try!

My family and I just had the most pleasant evening eating here tonight! We have been ordering in from Mia s for years since we live in the neighborhood but decided to dine in tonight and it was somehow so much better! The food was amazing as it always is but it was so hot and fresh and the tandoori sizzled on the table in a way it never could in a takeout container. The people who work here were so kind and getting to meet them and talk about the food made it so much more of an experience on top of a meal. Their food is so good, I can t recommend Mia s enough! Going in person is something we couldn t do at the height of the pandemic and are lucky to have the chance to do now! Vegetarian options: So many amazing vegetarian options :)

Small restaurant with around ten tables. I loved the butter chicken, lamb korma and their naan bread. Their mulligatawny soup was ordinary. The mango lassi was good. I went there twice and the first time, the naan bread was only served once our plates were finished. The second time it was served at the same time. I would go back without hesitation! Negative points: not accessible for reduced mobility and no parking, we had to park the car in the old Dairy Queen parking lot.

★★
December 23, 2023

Disappointing. Ordered takeout and the korma was too sweet with very little depth, and the vegetables seemed to come from a frozen bag. The naan bread was too thick, and the pakora was essentially one large battered deep fried cauliflower floret. Samosas were alright but the sauce with them was underwhelming. I will not be ordering again.

Ordered pickup and food was ready in 5 minutes . The Beef Vindaloo was not the best. I have had better. Tasted watered down or like food that was warmed up from a freezer. The samosas were okay. Naan bread was good. Overall a $42 meal not so tasty.

★★★★★

I got their dinner for two to share with my partner and oh my goodness we were blown away with the food. Huge portions, very reasonably priced, and not to mention the food itself was absolutely delicious. We went here because of recommendation of a friend who states that this is the best Indian food restaurant in Ottawa and I believe it! Thank you very much, would be for sure coming back again if we weren t travelling through town.

What a gem ! Great quality food - nicely spiced madras ( no coconut- just heat !! - thank you ) the best naan we have had for years - perfect chicken biriyani - very thin pastry on the samosas - and amazing fillings Nothing to fault on the food - a very happy find. We are now total fans - best curry house in Ottawa so far and the staff are pretty cool as well. Small place -and does get busy but your patience is rewarded with quality food

The food might be good but the owner (Bangladeshi origin) Musharaf is a very dishonest person who never returned thousands of Dollars back to us as our deposit for his house rental in Orleans. We were foreigners and had to leave Canada hence his opportunity to pocket our money since there won t be anyone following up with him. Shame on you for robbing my young kids funds.

New post: 1 hour ago. 1 star. What happened to this place? The last 3-4 times Ive ordered from here, the quality has been going down progressively. We started with the Appetizer Platter for Two: bland, funky texture, the chicken tikka was rubbery and may have undercooked. The waiter used his apron to wipe our plates. The Saag Paneer was wilty and bland. The beef was grisly. Original Post: 4 years ago. 5 stars. This was our first time here and we loved it. We started with the Appetizer Platter for Two, a mixed plate of samosa, onion bhaiji, pakura, shish kabob and chicken tikka, served with salad and tamarind sauce and a mint dip. What a great thing to share for two people. Our main was the Chicken Jalfraji (medium spice) and it was one of the best dishes weve tried, unique in flavour - definitely not the same-old-same-old. The service was really great too. Quiet the gem.
