After Hours is a pop-up ghost kitchen operating by Cadmans Montreal Bagels. We strive to provide our customers with an elevated take out experience with our take on "comfort food."
Absolutely amazing! The restaurant was so clean, the staff were kind, and the food was delicious. And it’s halal!! big win, i’ll definitely be coming back for more
Food was delicious! Chicken tacos we’re juicy & not dry - bonus! We also had the Korean BBQ Mac & it did not disapoint. Definitely going to come back!
Great food definitely coming back to try more of the menu!
We ordered catering from After Hours for our engagement party and the food was truly the star of the show. Guests were asking all night (and for days afterwards) where we had ordered it from. The chicken and beef Burris tacos and the Mac & cheese were crowd favourites for sure. After Hours even went out of their way to ask if we had a colour scheme for the party and garnished the food to match, which was a nice touch. Would definitely order again for future events!
I really wanted to like this place because its halal and we do not have many halal tacos options in town and it had such good reviews also.. BUT we are sooo disappointed. The portions are good and the staff is very friendly so its a plus for them. But aside from that, the food part was bad and sooo expensive. Even the smell of the cooking was not good. I mean, we were waiting for the food and being worried because it didnt smell like good food, just oil. We ordered beef biria tacos, taqitos, mac and cheese with hot and sweet chicken bites. Everything was flavorless. The beef in the tacos was dry and lacked flavor. The sauce was also flavorless. The salsa had no kick. The taquitos were ok, but still no real flavor to it. The mac and cheese was dry and didn’t taste very good, even though Im pretty sure it was the only meal with actual spices in it. The chicken bites tasted funny, like a little burnt even though they were not. So disappointing to pay 120$ and not even wanting to eat the leftovers…
Found this place by chance on Uber eats.. I was looking for a good deal and BOOM! there it was - glorious 2 for 1 on the most delicious looking birria Mac and cheese. To say this is one of the best dishes I’ve ever had is an understatement. First of all - the serving sizes? Huge (at least compared to places like mad Mac’s) Quality? Absolutely incredible. The flavours are amazing, everything is cooked perfectly. Everything you’re looking for if you want the best of both worlds.. oh! And, the little fried tortillas add the perfect little ✨something✨ Everyone I know will be hearing about this place and I will be back to try more! If this place ever closes I will riot <3
Went to try the birria tacos and wasn’t disappointed. The consommé was the star of the dish. Tried the tandoori mac and cheese, that was just ok. The chicken was dry and the mac and cheese was a bit bland. Overall I would go back for the birria tacos.
Looking at the pictures and reviews, I was very excited to try this place out. The meat was extremely dry and there was barely any taste. Like they forgot to add salt or seasoning to their food, was quite disappointed. Anyways, I always believe in giving restaurants a second chance, I'll try again in the next few months and do an update on my review.
LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!
I wouldn t call this tacos. Dry, no taste and the sauce was 99% water
Vegetarian options: Délicieux merci!!! Food
The birria tacos are super ultra soft and crispy. Definitely recommend this place! Been coming here since it opened.
Chef and all staff are amazing, food is always 10/10.
Food is great!!
Food and service was amazing!
Best birria tacos in the city
Super good and nice the staff is great
Great food and great service. You will not be disappointed!
Ordered the shrimp mac and cheese, and parm fries off Uber with my bf. I dont know how to explain the taste of it, but it just tasted off. My bf said the Mac tasted like butane. The menu sounded good, but I would never eat here again.
Ordered takeout for my wife and I on Sunday night and it was amazing. Got the chicken birria tacos and it was the best taco Ive ever had in my life! Highly recommend this place!
I had the bulgogi mac and cheese and my husband had the beef birria tacos. Service was great and fairly quick. It Id an odd place in that they serve Mexican ,Indian food and bagels lol. My only complaint is that it was served in plastic to go containers withwooden cutlery. Real silverware would have improved the experience greatly. But I really loved the food. Portions were large. meal!!
10\10. Amazing food and staff!!
Best Mac & Cheese I ve had in Ottawa! Had the pleasure of trying the Birria mac, Popcorn shrimp mac and Tandoori mac - all 10/10 and very flavourful. Portions are generous and filling. The beef birria tacos were also very tasty. Ottawa hidden gem!
Tasted fine but 27$ for this is absolutely crazy
salty
Food was delicious , in particular the birria tacos and boneless chicken. They gave us a free Mac and cheese and garlic bread which was so nice and tasted so good as well! Really great service and taste
Best tacos in the city hands down! Love the fusion of Indian and Mexican flavours, something different to try in Ottawa. Music is great vibes and the cakes are to die for. Food
Best tacos in Ottawa Must come! Food
Been coming here for months now on a regular basis. Amazing food amazing customer service definitely recommend the tacos and the mac & cheese.
Overpriced. Not worth it. Unseasoned stake
After hours has the best Mac and cheese platter I ve ever had in my life. I ordered off of Uber and even after coming all the way to centre town it was INCREDIBLE. 10/10, 5 Star , would recommend!
overrated as hell imo
The beef birria tacos were incredible! Great portions- 3 tacos per order. Beer available and cute patio.
Portions were small , food took long to be served and the quality of the food was a 2 out of 10
The food portions were too small, the food was really salty, the tacos were unflavored, we ordered 5 items, waited 30 minutes before the 1st item showed up and every 15 minutes would bring one more item, the food was microwaved, it wouldve been cheaper for me to buy frozen dinner and microwaved it myself instead of me spending over $120, its highway robbery, Also had people with me from Toronto, and it was embarrassing taking them here
Absolutely disappointing. As a business owner myself I ve never seen a business respond to negative reviews with no solution or care in the world about your experience. Overpriced , fist sized portions and poor service.
Visited Ottawa and was recommended this spot, very glad I tried it! Halal menu, which was amazing to hear since I ve been wanting to try this style of tacos for a while. The beef tacos were delicious, they re very generous with the portions in these. I also tried the chicken parm sandwich which i ended up going back for before leaving Ottawa. I will be trying more off the menu my next visit and would definitely recommend trying this place out!
Been multiple times now and always have a good experience, the food is consistently delicious and great service. Beef tacos are a must try
Food tasted super fresh, well seasoned and was absolutely delicious! Came all the way from Toronto to try the good stuff and it definitely lived up to the hype. Can t wait to comeback and have it again!!!
I ordered After Hours catering for an event and the food was incredible - everyone loved it and it was all completely devoured. The tacos, salads and mac and cheese were flavourful and delicious. Their service is also impeccable! I cant recommend this spot enough!
It gets better everytime I go. The Indian menu and Tacos are so fire. Some of the most delish in the city . . Not to be overlooked!
I came here based on the review of an Instagram influencer - their review wasn t accurate tbh. Pictures make it look a lot better then it is. Very overpriced for the portions. The food is average. I wouldn t come here again. Gave it two stars for the nice employees.
Amazing service from after hours! They catered for my birthday event and it was such an easy process, and they communicated with me very well. Food was ready for pick on time. I would definitely recommend them to cater for your event!
I order thru uber and i really appreciate that u guys follow thru my notes Thankyou sooo much both items were delicious but i like taquitos more if u can improve ur chicken that would be great. it was very dry in the sandwich .. but flavours were awsum keep it up
ordered with Uber and received the most otherworldly mac n cheese I ve ever had in my life. I don t even like mac n cheese but that bowl? bites of heaven.
Got catering and it was honestly the best I ve ever had. Beef was so fresh and was still hot when we got it.
Their birria tacos were some of the best I ve ever had and Mac and cheese just hit the spot. Catering service was also really friendly and made it very simple to order.
Got the birria tacos and Mac and cheese through the catering service. Very impressed with how easy it was to order and how friendly and helpful the service was. 10/10
Tacos were really delicious
This place is a real gem and I am so happy I went, my family said 5 stars Food awesome Staff so good and friendly Place super clean, welcoming
The tacos were great
Our wings shipped without the veggies and the taquitos without the salsa verde. The food tasted fine but taquitos without salsa is an incomplete meal. That was yesterday via UE. Not impressed tbh
Had a great experience. I got the birria tacos and they were sooo good. Will definitely be back!
Great halal food, not a lot of seating space and a bit on the pricy side, but its still nice and worth a visit. We got beef and veggie birria tacos, and boneless chicken mac and cheese. The birria tacos were great, Ive never had it before and I think Ill definitely be keeping an eye out! The mac and cheese was good, but the boneless chicken on top really made it great, and the cheesy garlic bread definitely took it over the top. Next time I go Ill have to try out some of their other menus! Dietary restrictions: Halal and vegetarian options available
Thank you Chef
Everything was perfect, the staff the food..
We had beef and chicken tacos with mac and cheese. Everyone working here was so nice! Food was AMAZING!! Thank you so much!
Super tasty, high quality food!
Love the place fast service amazing food the best beer tacos in town.
Had the tandoori mac and cheese spicy. Also had tacos beef and chicken. They were all amazing!! Dietary restrictions: Halal food
1) The prices are atrocious, anyone wishing can come here 2) the portion sizes are stingy 3) They sell alcohol with halal items, which makes no sense 4) my friend I had to wait 30 minutes for my order. 5) they blasting music in the restaurant which is so annoying
The Mac and cheese is amazing, no matter what toppings you choose, and I recommend getting the cheesy garlic bread added as well. Furthermore the tacos are great and service is excellent, kitchen staff always up for a nice chat (when its not crazy busy). Food
The first time was really good, the second time was really bad. I got the chicken tacos both times
Really nice staff and good food, sandwhiches are amazing but I feel like the other foods have too many spices in them that do not match the food (such as mac and cheese) but generally good food!
Best tacos outside Mexico!!!
Stumbled upon this hidden gem of when visiting Cadmans. We ordered the chicken birria tacos and they were absolutely phenomenal! Went back less then a week later to order them again and decided to also try the chicken taquitos. Both dishes did not disappoint! They were sooo flavorful! The staff is also excellent, friendly and welcoming! If youre craving some delicious mexican food, this is a MUST TRY!!
So delicious.
Slap nation
Always amazing food, nice people, good music. Favourite is the korean bbq mac or the beef birria tacos Food : 5/5
I found it to be a nice lowkey spot. Their birara tacos were nice and the mac n cheese filling l. Would definitely recommend you go try it out!
Delicious! Very fresh Mac and cheese is amazing! and the birria tacos with the jus is amazing as well so fresh and tasty!
Shoutout josh
Loved the tacos Shrimp mac and cheese was also good but a little too much spice for my liking, otherwise excellent experience
The food isn t bad, but I recently ordered a Mac and cheese with honey garlic chicken bites but it did NOT taste like honey garlic at all. I would describe the taste as very salty soy sauce chicken which isn t even on the menu! I had to double check my recipe to make sure I didn t make a mistake. This was very disappointing since the food is pretty expensive and I did not get what I paid for. They should probably review the honey garlic sauce they use because the taste is not at all accurate. Had to throw away the chicken since it was way too salty to eat
Can t decide what was better between the food or customer service! 10/10 all around
This place is a real gem and I am so happy I went, my husband said 5 stars and both my daughter and me said we wish the stars went higher as this place is a 10 stars. Food awesome Staff so good and friendly Place super clean, welcoming
Incredible place from the food to the friendly staff. Had the chicken birria tacos, and was very impressed. First time trying birria tacos, highly recommend!!
I would absolutely recommend this place. The vegetarian birria tacos (mushrooms and eggplant) with guac were delicious. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. No complaints, it was a great experience. We will be back. Vegetarian options: They had both a vegetarian and a vegan option for the birria tacos. Absolutely delicious, it was a mushroom and eggplant base.
Had the beef birria tacos and was very satisfied. Would highly recommend !!
My niece took me this place we had excellent time
We go every time we visit Bridgewater. Lovely pub.
Dont sleep on this spot! I had the Birra chicken tacos and they were unreal. Just spicy enough and a decent portion for one.
Nice evening atmosphere. Bagel sandwich was pretty good and hit the spot!
I placed my 100th order let s just put it that way. Heavenly tacos.
Ordered takeout from Uber for me and my GF. She was loves the taquitos so I wanted to order them as a surprise while she was out, so I explained this and asked if they could put the toppings on the side so it didn t dig the taquitos. They did just that and more, really made our night! Great people and the food is always fantastic.(I always get the Birria Tacos which are 10/10) Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options (can t vouch for celiac but definitely wheat allergy)
Really delicious chicken tacos!!!
The butter chicken and garlic naan is incredible! And the birria tacos and Mac and cheese. Everything is unreal.
Was ok, maybe I had high expectations. Masala chai was a let down, and the tacos was mediocre.
I really dislike the bagel shop at this strip mall but it is very convenient it has a shoppers drug mart that is open until 10 and physio therapy all on one building. Is within walking distance of many things
Amazing food, the best selection for late night food. Highly recommended!
Delicious and tasty food with unique flavors. Highly recommend it for catering as well.so professional and order came on time. Thanks for making our Christmas party beautiful with your catering.
Food was good! Nailed it. What you expect from a food truck in Venice Beach but in Vanier I thought price was a little high for takeout. Didn t get completely full for an $18 meal. However, after enjoying the meal and contrasting that Boston pizza sells tacos with no seasoning for the same price, these are 10-fold better. If I had a dine in experience my comment about price would be different Overall: flavourful and unique food that really pleasures your late night cravings and good to see local family businesses thriving during these times
This place is lit I had the best biria tacos.
Have you heard of the word succulent? Because that is the best descriptive word for these tacos in my and my friends humble opinions. A truly exquisite experience catered to the finest of taste buds.
The tacos & Mac and cheese were amazing!! Soo much cheese and flavour!
I am a regular here. Love the tacos and Mac & Cheese. Everything has really good flavour and is fresh. The beef birria tacos are my favourite. This place focuses on the little details in everything that I ve had so it s an easy recommend.
Pretty good spot, crispy and juicy birria tacos, good vibes as well! Reasonable price, so its worth visiting at least once! Guac is extra $$ though
Tastes crazy good
ordered there mac and cheese thru uber eats, it was buy one get one free, and was delicious! plus they have halal food, highly recommend!
Highly recommend the Birria Tacos - have ordered a number of times from Uber Eats (they have great deals on often) and it s always been a great experience. Delicious food.
Wow! Had the vegan birria tacos and they were amazing. And gluten free!
Great Food, extremely tasty and the corn tortillas were perfect
Those tacos... Absolutely delicious. A simple but unique menu, Ill be back.
Had their date night special tonight and it was delicious! Beef tacos + Cajun shrimp mac and cheese
Tried the chicken and beef birria tacos and the wing mac & cheese. Very tasty!
The restaurant has very friendly staff, with punctual timings and consistent preparation. We saw them making tacos while we were waiting. They all were done as if they were made by a machine. Bought the vegetarian one. It was delicious. Will certainly go back sha and try other kinds.
Some of the best Mac & Cheese and Tacos Ive ever had! Great setup, amazing service and incredible food. The staff was extremely friendly and the flavours were unique and refreshing.
Had the chicken birria tacos and it was amazing. Some of the best tacos Ive had. Had great service and the food was filling. Ill definitely be going back!
The food here is so delicious and so worth the visit! Mouth watering, flavourful dishes, the tacos were amazing!
Amazing food with a great variety! Even offers vegan and vegetarian options. Will definitely order from here again!!
Amazing service and delicious, trendy food! Birria tacos are a must try!!
For a young chef, the food is AMAZING! Shop local and try after hours! They have options for most dietary needs, and the staff is really friendly! Will definitely be going back
After Hours was everything we were waiting for. A place for halal AND vegan options. The food was delicious, fresh, and made the 30 minute drive totally worth it. Their date night package was such a nice touch. Definitely added to one of our favourite places to eat in Ottawa.
After hours ticks every box: so fresh, very clean and they have an amazing selection that is rare in Ottawa. The birria tacos were absolutely perfect, Ive never had a corn tortilla quite like that before. I also personally fell in love with the hot honey wings, will be coming back for more very soon!
This place definitely hit the spot in every way possible! Tacos and Mac n cheese were exactly what I hoped to be and more. 10/10 would recommend and will be coming back for more!!
Friendly staff. We enjoyed our meal from After Hours. The vegetarian tacos were the highlight of our dinner; they were super flavourful - the tortilla and coleslaw are freshly made. The mac and cheese (chicken & cajun shrimps) were creamy and cheesy, but there is an intense smokey flavour, and for us, it got overwhelming after a few bites. I recommend trying this local restaurant.
Got the Date Night special. Food tasted incredible and the portions were huge. Very good value for money, and well worth the drive from Barrhaven!
Vegetarian birria tacos were so good, as was the enormous portion of Mac and cheese. Their weekly date night meal came with dessert and a rose (too cute)
I kept seeing their birria tacos on instagram and decided to come try. I got the beef and chicken birria tacos and the mac and cheese. Unfortunately we only got to try the beef as they mixed up our order. The beef tacos were juicy and the side slaw s complimented the flavours really well. Mac and cheese wasn t as good sadly; it lacked flavour and salt overall.
Would 10/10 recommend. I ve shared this place with all my family and friends and they have shared with theirs. I had already been a huge fan and wanted to share my wonderful experience when it came to my fiancé s tropical theme birthday this past weekend. I was coordinating with their team for weeks prior to organize catering for the party. They were so quick to respond and very willing although they hadn t done catering before. They had gone above and beyond. Highlight of the party! We had 4 platters of Mac and cheese with different toppings. 3 pounds of wings different flavours. Lots of the delicious garlic bread. Fresh tortilla chips and guacamole. Can t forget their mouth watering tacos we had lots of those! The day before they had recommended their Mexican street corn salad that really brought some light freshness to the spread! Everyone loved every bit of the delicious spread they had put together. The edible flours they used to garnish fell right into the tropical theme. I appreciate the great execution of the vision we had put together. Will definitely do it again for any events. Thank you Aiman and Chantale
Service is awesome on Instagram! The person my family and I communicate with is always so kind when taking our order. The food is halal and quite delicious. The order is a bit small in my opinion, but regardless we have ordered here at least once a month since their opening (sometimes more), and will continue to support this small business mostly because of the great customer service. Thanks for the great experience!
We decided to cater a small get together for my daughters high school graduation at After Hours Ottawa and dont regret a thing. Alysha was really awesome. We had no idea where to start but she helped us make some choices and suggested things based on what we like and dont like. She was extremely professional and so pleasant to work with. The order went smoothly. We then picked up the food and all was ready on time. We decided to go with several wraps and mini sandwiches all of which were very delicious. The platters were generous in portions. The corn salad was superb. Mac n Cheese awesome. Everything was great and lots of leftovers too! Overall, i would definitely recommend a sit-down with Alysha anytime. She can plan it all for you and make it happen. The food will be awesome for sure. Thanks again Alysha for catering this event for Natasha. It was great! Regards Souaid family
Got the bulgogi mac n cheese. Tastes really good!
This was one of my worst food experiences i ever had the mac & cheese was sooo bland and how can you go wrong on chicken wings? I don t know you ask these guys Reply to their comment: There will be no next time that was the biggest waste of my $20.
I ve been coming to this ghost kitchen since it first started up. My go-to is the chicken or beef birria tacos, which i recommend to everyone! I have tried the mac and cheese and wouldn t get it again, it was pretty bland. Sometimes there s a short wait upon pick up, but it s worth it. I will continue to support as long as it s running. I enjoy their 2 for 1 deals and date night packages. they also fundraise & support other local businesses
Wow. This meal. I can t speak for dine-in but I ordered After Hours via Uber Eats for dinner and I am so impressed. I order delivery up to 5x weekly and after 3-4 years of being a customer and ordering in many major cities in Canada, this was a Top 5 meal of mine! Ordered Chicken Birria Tacos and Macaroni and Cheese. Delicious. Wow. Woooow. Didn t have time to take photos, food did not survive long enough. I know now to visit them on my next trip to Ottawa!
Staff is nice and food is great. I love their beef tacos.
Some of the best tacos Ive ever had. Ive been ordering from After Hours since they opened, and the food is fantastic. There was one time when they had a 2 for 1 special, and I really only wanted 1 order so I asked them to give the second one to someone in need. They included a flower with my order and a nice note, which I thought was very nice and thoughtful. That goes to show how great their service truly is. Overall a 10/10 place and because this is a pop-up I hope they end up being a permanent spot in Ottawa.
I tried After Hours on my visit to Ottawa last weekend. Tried the Birria Tacos and I just want to go back to Ottawa to try the other menu items! Pretty nuts that After Hours is still a hidden gem.. just need to convince the owner to open a Toronto location now!
