Food was decent, but not the best Indian food. Pricey for the amount of food we received and we pre-ordered an hour and a half befor but still ended up waiting 30 minutes anyway because they didn't see our order come in. 😒 The lamb and Chana Masala were tasty and ... the naan was fluffy and fresh, but the butter chicken was too sweet and didn't have much meat in it. A little disappointing when you pay atleast $20 per plate. Read more
Exceptional Indian cuisine with an amazing variety of choice. For me, the closest that Indian food in Ottawa has come to what I grew up enjoying in India. The weekly specials at Ishina, Rajasthani food, Kashmiri food, Punjabi Thali, Dosa special, the Naanza, the Indian style Tacos, the Makhni Paneer ... rice bowl, have been over staple during Covid-19 and we could not be happier considering the amazing quality, their commitment to health protocols and their awesome customer service. If you are looking to shatter your Covid blues with some out of the world Indian food, I would highly recommend them. Read more
Effort+Excellence=Ishina Gina of Ishina puts in 150%to create Excellent unique dishes. I ordered the Diwali Special, the food tasted delicious. The food reminded me like I was eating food from high end restaurant in Mumbai such as Khyber at Worli or The Taj in Colaba. What I also like about Gina is ... that she will experiment with new dishes and once she feels it is ready only then will they roll it out. In the past few months I have enjoyed their Kathi Roll, Fish Tacos, Dal Bhati, Biryani & many more. I would highly recommend Ishina... Read more
We picked up their father's day dinner for two, and it both looks and tastes amazing! Also there was a little father's day surprise gift in the bag. Nippi was gracious as always. Great to see they are still here with us.

Ordered a paneer dish for takeout while at the brewery next door. Fantastic food and kind service! Will be back.
