Ottawa's Favorite Indian Restaurant Mumbai Masala Grill is a fine Indian cuisine located at the heart of Ottawa Downtown. We are committed to bringing in the best Indian spices into our extravagant recipes with fresh farm vegetables and meat. Our chef brings in a decade of blended cooking experience and is excited to be a part of Mumbai Masala Grill. We also take catering orders and online orders.
My Initial impressions were that it is hugely overpriced for a decent meal. Out of need I still ordered vegan combo for take out, it says the food is for 2. Yet there was just a single small roti for the two people to share and no rice at all with it. Hugely disappointed. Not recommended. Look elsewhere for your food, will save you a lot of headache.
Recently tried their food catering in a wedding and Omg I loved the Pani Puri, had around 15 of them. Ufff extremely flavourful with Chutneys really authentic. Loved their Channa Masala too. Chicken Biryani was ok. Will definitely visit the place in person for more items.
Was visiting the city for the long weekend and found this place.. Ordered Dahi Kabab, Paneer Lababdar and Garlic Naan's. Dahi Kabab was ok not upto the mark but really liked the main course..Ambience was really nice..
We didn’t get the buffet which seems like the thing to get. We got small sides but we’re not particularly impressed with the taste.
Nice place and great hospitality. I just ordered for Butter chicken and a Naan. It was delicious and loved it.
Was on list of restaurants to visit and glad it made Saturday night dinner list. Did not want to do buffet. Started with favourite samosa, plain chick peas. They were the biggest but taste and filling, where on point. Had plain and garlic naan, garlic was taking a holiday but was still tasty. Lamb in the sagwala, was so tender, it melted in your mouth. Combined with plain basmati, the aroma 🥰. The change masala, was cooked down, peas were nice, tender and went well with naan and papadams. No deserts due to empty dinner plates. Great service overall and will gladly recommend and visit again.
The Caesar salad I ordered didn't resemble a Caesar salad at all. It had no cheese or croutons, but instead was filled with tomatoes, cucumbers, lots of raw onions, bell peppers, and chicken. It was the worst Caesar salad I've ever had, and I paid $14 for it.
We recently had a pleasant lunch buffet experience at Mumbai Masala Grill in Ottawa. The restaurant was clean and easy to find, with good service. We were particularly happy with the selection of gluten-free options available on the buffet. While the overall food quality was average, some dishes stood out. The butter chicken was flavorful, and the vegetarian options were satisfying. The highlight of the buffet was definitely the tandoor chicken, which was delicious. However, it would be helpful if they replenished the tandoor chicken tray more frequently to avoid running out. The naan bread was a nice touch, brought fresh and hot to the table. Overall, Mumbai Masala Grill offers a good lunch buffet option, especially for those seeking gluten-free Indian cuisine. While some dishes may be average, the highlights and attentive service make it worth a visit.
Chicken Curry and the Petha was soo good!
Used to be great place . Nowadays service changes
The food is ommmggg excellent, the spices, the sauces a delight for the taste buds and great service!!! In the menu of choice for all tastes!!!
Very bad experience. Taste was average. We were told within 15 minutes of sitting that buffet will be cleared. Should have told at the beginning so we could have opted for other option. Also got stomach issues the same night after consuming the food.
Great food , nice sit down restaurant, and good service.
Just perfect!!! Gobi Florets!!!
Very friendly waiter. Buffet option. Good value. Very good quality food. Food is fresh. Meat is tender and comes apart easily. Very nice experience.
Le restaurant Indien avec la nourriture plus fraiche que jai jamais gouter. Viande tendre et savouvoureux. Pain naan servi chaud quand tarrive. Nourriture pas trop épicé alors jai tout pu manger et reprendre. Et le bon service, nous sommes pas indien on a demandé de laide avec un met et le serveur nous a montrer comment se servir.
Butter chicken, Beef coconut curry and saffron rice, all was very delicious and generous portions. Onion bhaji was very flavorful. Enough leftover for another meal. We will definitely go back.
Food - 5 star Staff - 5 star
Very nice experience and very good food, the best staff. Its the 4th time Ive come here and it wont be the last. Kinsley is great
Food is delicious. Had the pleasure to chat with the owner, very nice guy. Must visit place. Will hopefully visit soon.
Very good butter chicken. Good service
Best aloo tikki Ive ever had and very tender lamb in the curry.
Food was good, service was very very good. Atmosphere could have been better. They had one song on repeat that got really annoying after 10 min. And even though the place wasnt busy they squeezed everyone in to one side - including this sick guy who looked like he was ready to die, coughing and sneezing.
Amazing food!! Highly recommend!
Delicious buffet for a great value and service. :) Thank you!
I am a fan of their Hara bhara kababs . I go every Sunday to have that
Their Dal Tadka & Jeera rice are the best
Best Indian food in Ottawa . Bar has a huge menu
Good food. Good ambiance. Nice vibe
We went to Mumbai Masala Grill twice on our visit to Ottawa and I wish we could have gone a third time to try the buffet. We had lamb biryani, chicken curry, rice, and a plain naan on our first visit. For our second visit, we had dessert--mango cream and mango cheesecake. The mango cheesecake was a nice combination of sweet and tangy. The service was very friendly and the decor was really nice. The washrooms are in the basement, which is a bit of a trek, and stairs may present mobility challenges. Well have to come back to Ottawa and try more things on the menu!
Very good service by vishal and suraj
The service is terrible. The guy who answers the phone even they don t know what they are saying. The staff say something else and manager says something else. Last 15 days ago they missed an item in the order so i called them and they said they will give credit for it in next time, they write down name and phone number. Now they said u have to contact the support. How can i contact the support if the order is already placed a long time ago. The guy who answered the phone was rude no empathy. Never go there or order take out
Incredibly delicious and recommended! I had lunch at this restaurant, it had an Indian buffet. The selection was large and everything was very freshly cooked. Exceeds the price and there is something for everyone. In addition, the service is very courteous and super friendly
Must visit place for dinner. Best hospitality and clean place. Must try: garlic naan, daal tadka, panner tikka masala.
Amazing food taste was literally good and great service by vishaal..
Great atmosphere, delicious food. Very happy we went here.
Amazing, authentic food awesome service too!
Everything tasted fresh which isn t always a given at buffets. Service was perfect, nice quiet place. It will be a monthly visit.
A decent buffet. Went in for lunch and they had decent food available. Vegetarian options with yummy curries. Naan was super soft and server s were very kind and helpful. Desert section looked disappointing , rest everything was good.
The food was excellent and the portions were of good size. However, the service was very slow, even though the restaurant was almost empty.
Indian buffet is good here . The place is in downtown Ottawa. Street parking is available but will be difficult to get one at busy time. It has a big sitting hall but very old style decorated The buffet has variety of veg and non veg items with gol gape and chat papdi Goat hurry was good but the goat biryani and steamed rice was dry and the grain became hard to chew cause it was in the hot pot for long time or may be from a day before Overall good place to have an indian buffet but it is very pricy
I had a great experience at Mumbai Masala. The Paneer Lababdar was rich and flavorful, and the Garlic Naan was perfectly soft with a nice garlic kick. The Kadai Paneer was spicy and delicious, with tender paneer cubes. The service was quick and friendly, making for an overall enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommend!
Delicious food, warm ambiance, and excellent service! The malai kofte and naan were exceptional, bursting with authentic flavors. Generous portions at great prices. Highly recommend for an unforgettable dining experience!
Vishal served us with pleasing attitude food and even gave complimentary gulab jamun..... Amazing. I ordered Bhature. Bhature was so soft and yummy. Thanks to chef and Team
Good Indian buffet at a beautiful downtown location. We had freshly made naan and the curry goat and goat biryani dish. Must visit place.
The food and the taste is exceptional..Those looking for perfect asian cuisine brunch , this is the place where the food meets its taste..
Nic3 service
Best Indian food Ive had in a decade. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and there is a huge variety of food to choose from both at the buffet and à la carte.
Delicious food and Owner of this restaurant is so humble and nice person.
Sept 4th 2024 1pm I love the vegetable korma however I tried something new and tried the beef curry. The spiciness was completely okay. I eat spicier at home. But it was way too salty and acidic at a first taste so I went to ask to switch but they refused. I season my food a lot at home (Im Latina) but this was saturated to the max with acidity and salt. Im autistic and I wasted 20 dollars on trying something and had horrible customer service when trying to reassure them I could pay higher for the difference of something else and that I only took a bite and I can throw it out right there so they didnt think I was trying to scam them. Oh well. I will just not go back again
Delicious food, good price quality, we ate the combo A vegetarian
Incredible, fresh food with an amazing amount of heat as requested. Service was top notch, though they need to speak louder. Absolutely will go again. The veggie samosas were totally out of this world.
Delicious. You wouldnt necessarily think so from the outside, but its worth it. We had a lovely evening, with delicious food and fair prices. You can specify the level of spiciness of the food so that it suits your own taste.
The servers were very good and they served with smile and the food was Absolutely delicious . The portions are quite large for the price which is rare to find now a days. The Paneer lababdaar, panner tikka masala ,daal makhni , dahi kebab was very flavourful and well cooked, the salad was great. Will continue to come again and again. At last it was an amazing experience.
I bought the chicken naan for lunch and was expecting a naan with some spiced succulent pieces of tandoori chicken but instead got tiny dry crumbs of chicken that tasted like it had been from leftover old pieces of chicken, it was disgusting. I threw it out, it truly wasn t edible. I came after the lunch rush at 1 and it took almost 20 minutes for it to come out. So disappointing, first time trying this restaurant and it will be my last time.
at the top!!! it was good, clean and the servers were friendly and friendly we loved the all-you-can-eat buffet!
Great food, very accommodating with my food allergy questions.
The place has a great ambience and the food was really good. Ordered panner lababdar and was too good, also naan, aloo tikki and hot and sour soup was too good. Service by sourav was much appreciated
Food was very awesome and the staff saurav was very kind and welcoming.
very good food and friendly staff
Buffet was bland tasteless and hardly nothing to choose from. Butter chicken is way too sweet. I d rather pay for fresh made butter chicken elsewhere.
Food was yummy. We ordered palak paneer, mix veg and samosa chaat ...everything was delicious. All staff were really humble and enthusiastic. Loved everything. 10/10 recommended Vegetarian options: Gluten free and dairy free available.
Food was delicious
A little disappointed that the all-you-can-eat buffet isnt open.... BUT.... Everything we ordered was a real delight! Generous portion and served quickly. The staff is very present and attentive. I recommend 200% if you like or want to discover Indian specialties.
I ordered biriyani from this restaurant after i saw a review about this restaurant saying that they have the best biriyani which is better than south Indian biriyani and honestly that person never have tried actual south Indian biriyani and to my great disappointment its an average north Indian biriyani and thats it.. But their lamb lababdar was really good and I definitely recommend that dish.
heaven
A vibrant range of dishes with rich, aromatic spices and diverse textures youll find creamy, tangy curries paired with soft naan s and crispy appetizers in this restaurant . We just love the dinner and service was so quick and staff were so polite and respectful. Must must must visit this place.
For a top Indian buffet, diverse flavors,rich selection,traditional experience and for a lavish spread must try this restaurant.
Food was delicious and there was lot of variety.Vishal was super courteous and very welcoming. Overall we enjoyed food.
Tried manchurian, daal makhani, naan and tandoori roti Everything was so fresh and delish Service was great and food with less wait time. Food : 5/5

The food, service and ambience here are amazing. Best indian restaurant in ottawa. The service is quite fast as well.
Had dinner at Mumbai masala grill.. Food was excellent and so was the staff..
Food was very good and service was fast and friendly.
they have no hygiene in there food i found plastic sticker on food and when i complained and they said it is not a major thing and argued about that
Not worth the price. The food tasted bland and mediocre. Huge price for such average food. Paneer butter masala was total disaster, tasted like ketchup. 3 chicken strips for 18$ is a loot. On top of this I paid 10% tip for nothing. I felt like forced to pay the tip. Not worth the try. Very disappointing
Great experience. Authentic Indian taste.
Good indian Food. Just like indian taste. Best service. saurav suggested us good indian cuisines. Authentic indian style punjabi cuisine. Food : 5/5
I had a Great experience and authentic Indian test.
Really good food , especially panjabi main course.. good customer service by saurabh ..
All together great place.
Great food, worthy of best Indian and indeed better than a lot of curry houses in the UK. Garlic gobi as a starter was amazing.
One of the best place for Indian Food, the Food is absolutely tasty Please visit this place if u r in Ottawa area Food
Nice spacious restaurant. Very friendly staff. Food tastes amazing - My fav was the butter chicken... got it with rice and naan. Chicken did have some fat bits but no biggie. Would come back to try more! Food : 4/5
It is kids friendly. My son luv the food. Vegetarian options: Dal Tarka was good Food : 5/5 |
The food was amazing. We ordered Kadai Paneer and Dal Makhani. The paneer was so rich and tasty. The dal makhani was also really great. Very underrated restaurant. Would definitely recommend.
Highly recommended place. Very delicious food. Samosas are awesome
Great tasting food.
Food was good but not at the level of the best Indians restaurants. Very good wait service. Waiter was very attentive. Room temperature was not comfortable, very hot with AC off. Atmosphere was a bit off with modern music that doesnt suit the style of the restaurant. Manager didnt seem to put customers first.
Seriously good food!
Its not worth to buy food from this restaurant I trough in the garbage . Food
I grabbed the Keema Naan and the Palak Paneer Naan. Both were delicious and flavourful. The Palak spice level was perfect. The service was very fast and friendly!
Vegetarian options: Tikki chaat is must try. Food
My partner Leo and I went for dinner tonight around 6pm, the service was excellent, they offered us to pick the table we prefer. The restaurant is very clean. We ordered: Chicken kebab sizzle and the Mumbai masala grill mix plates, they both were delicious. The naan bread is one of the best Ive tasted. Overall, excellent staff service, tasty plates and good atmosphere. Well be back! Leo and Manon (Gatineau, Quebec)
Since moving to Ottawa I havent had some good Indian food in a while, I brought my friend who had never really tried Indian food before and hoped I could show her a good experience. The staff are amazing! They treated us like royalty, they pulled out our seats for us, constantly refilled our water and were attentive without being too invasive. My friend was hesitant to try a lot of the stuff on the menu and the staff actively encouraged her with 0 judgement! The food was super yummy and we got it for a good price! So happy with this place, absolutely will be back <3

The food was fantastic
Super super place in Ottawa downtown. I cant say enough about the staff and the owner. Sweetest people ever. Everyone was involved, it was a team work. Everything we ordered was fresh and quick. Naans were the best because they were not too thick. Masala soda, masala chach, Indian beers. I highly recommend this place.
Amazing food great service
Delicious food , staff friendly.
I visited Mumbai Masala grill along with my 3 friends after a long hike to get authentic indian food. We ordered Malai chicken for starters and Chicken lababdar along with Garlic naan for Lunch. Taste was great, service was superb and environment was soothing.

Awesome food and great ambience
Vegetarian options: Plenty of choice and very friendly and good service! Food
So the server makes a blunder mistake and another server comes with a silly excuse, he is an intern sorry for the inconvenience. Be wise guys.
Good food. Taste is amazing
Best channa Bhatura and aloo parantha in Canada feel like India must try
Very friendly service and very comfortable
Underwhelming. Indian food is supposed to be spicy, yet the food here was not spicy at all and literally flavorless. Lamb curry was watery, the butter chicken tasted sweet for some reason, and the chicken had the consistency of tofu. Dont come here if you like spicy food
Vishal is very polite men and amazing experience with him.
Amazing experience and tasty food. Vishal has done a good job he has to be awarded with some incentive. Thank you
This place rocked. We had malai kofta and the beef madras curries with coconut rice & garlic naan. 10/10.
Vegetarian options: Chole bhature was very good. Food
Deepak, Saurabh were fantastic. The food was delicious, the price was reasonable for the quality of the food. It was very clean and it felt like I was in a 5 star restaurant. Great atmosphere, clean environment, great food, great polite and competent employees. Had a blast and will recommend to anyone to try this place out.
Great place to dine in - Shubham and entire staff is super friendly and hospitable to all customers. They will try to accommodate all requests to ensure customer is comfortable. Thank you for great service. Appreciate it.
Well located for downtown office workers Indian buffet. The food was very fresh and nicely prepared. Wide variety of options, including dessert. Location was previously a Chinese buffet.
Great service by Shubham and team.
Excellent atmosphere and food
Best staff services. Quick nd fast service. Keep it up
Really awesome buffet system, tastes like authentic Indian food, really good staff, very nice service vishal and sourav.
The food was amazing! Service was incredible! They even offered us a free dessert. I recommend 100%
Amazing food. After a really long time had a wholesome buffet. Highly recommend!
Excellent food and great service .
We went to eat here last Saturday (13 July) and everything about this place was great. For context, I am originally from Montreal and usually have a hard time finding a good restaurant I like in Ottawa. This place is now my new favorite Indian restaurant in town. Their butter chicken is beyond delicious, the samosas are amazing and the service is awesome! We came last minute (at 10pm), which was our fault completely as we didnt realize they closed at 11pm and they still served us with complete professionalism. I would definitely be going back and will be recommending this restaurant to everyone I know who loves Indian food.
Thanks to Souiab our server.

Excellent food and great customer service.
Excellent food, best service
Fantastic food
Great ambient and tasty food with very helpful and kind services provided by restaurant staff.
Food was fantastic, being an Indian away from home I still had the same food I used to have back home, the staff were also very hospitable..Would definitely come back
Amazing taste and amazing service.
It used to be a good restaurant in the beginning but now it has lost its taste and freshness. The food items are not freshly prepared, I ordered dal makhani one night and it felt stale, i kept the leftover in the fridge and it literally went bad the next morning as if it was atleast few days old. I used to be a regular customer for this place, but I do not recommend this place anymore.
This place has best malai kofta in the town. Service and ambience is amazing. I want to thank Shubham and his team for going above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was perfect. Their genuine hospitality and impeccable service made all the difference.
When there for lunch. Good food and clean place. Would suggest having more dishes for the buffet for the fixed price
Lots of variety! A bit pricey but variety cant be beat. Atmosphere was nice, though could use better ventilation. Added to the though. Would recommend.
Food and service is quite good. Must visit restaurant. Food
I am amazed to see the customer service by SHUBHAM and SOURABH. Excellent food, drinks. Feels like home.
