Ottawa Foodies

Fantastic curry! Great prices. Not a place to go on a date or anything (it's a real hole-in-the-wall little shop), but splendid food. They do take-out too!

The tastiest Indian food I've had in Ottawa. Prices are inexpensive too! Lots of selections for vegetarians. Meat eaters should try the chicken specials. Don't forget to ask for some green chili sauce on the side.

It's been a few years since I've been to Shaan's (I haven't seen the expansion yet), but the food was very good and dirt cheap. The "Big meal non veg" (what I usually get) was about $6 (maybe $7), and was usually enough to satisfy my hollow leg. I'm rarely in that neck of the woods, but next time I'm there, I'll be stopping in.

This has become a great standby take out restaurant for nights when we don't want to cook. There is a special every night (less than $6). Nothing on the menu is over $9. The portions are generous without being excessive. Early in the summer, they expanded and took over the space next door that was formerly a barber shop, so they've gone from being a two table to about a 15 or 20 table restaurant. The atmosphere is friendly and casual (family-owned, I believe), and the service is pretty quick. The food is served on styrofoam dishes and plastic trays. I've had mix ups with my order in the past, but not often enough to stop me from going back. I get the Chana Subzi most often and add a tofu-spinach samosa. Yum!
