Rinag Foods - Ottawa, Ontario

Rinag has always has a good reputation and food tasted good. And then we ordered a set menu for 90 people for our reunion and noted 2 major issues that unfortunately changes their reputation in Ottawa. 1) we asked for nut-free butter chicken and they delivered a tray with a ... sign that said " butter chicken with nuts". We immediately called Rinag several times to verify and get the right dish, but of course, no answer to our several calls. So, we could not serve this dish to our guests with nut allergies. 2)they delivered 90 naans in a dingy cooler with no liner, no wax paper and covered the bases with a yellow stained apron. I wonder if Ottawa Public health would agree with this practice. I will call then and ask. It's too bad the remaining dishes were mildly spiced, were not as tasty as in the previous times but they sufficed for feeding that many hungry people. I sincerely hope Rinag will reach out to us to discuss on how they can better serve the public but we will not be ordering from them again for our future events. Read more

Their samosas and curry chicken are excellent

I used Rinag for catering a wedding event for 170 people at a resonable price. There were various options for food and they were able to accommodate changes and personalize dishes to our liking. From appetizers, mains and dessert - the food was amazing and well loved by a diverse ... group of people. It was a little hard to reach at times, but once in communication, the staff was quick to respond. I highly recommend them. Read more

We would like to thank you and your team for your great work on the day of our wedding and the amazing food. We really appreciate the enthusiasm and your expertise in helping us plan the meals for the day, patiently with us. Your professionalism, experience and passion for food was ... so apparent in our meetings, and the food on the day was amazing. We appreciated the attention to detail and your ability to work with many different dietary requirements while still having an eye on excellence. The breakfast boxes were much appreciated, especially by hungry women doing their makeup. The samosas and chicken manchurian were delicious appetizers. The other ones were probably good, but we didn't get to them before the guests did. Due to a bit of a serving error, the bride got to try both the chicken and the vegetarian dish and both were absolutely scrumptious! the groom was a big fan of the Halwa and was so impressed with the freshness. One table told me that they were delighted when one guest didn't show up because a few of them had brought tupperware and took it home! The food was definitely the highlight of the event for a lot of guests, closely followed by the amazing weather (which we will assume you also arranged). I know that several guests told me that it was one of the best wedding meals that they had ever had. Top grades all around! Read more

I used their food catering recently for my wedding. We had ordered dinner for 45 people and picked up the food. The food came hot in pans and we used their chaffing dishes to serve it. The whole experience was great. They were helpful with arranging a tasting, suggesting ... menu items and amount of food. The food was delicious. We had ordered the beef and vegetable samosas, butter chicken, chickpea curry, rice, and naan bread. Almost everyone went for seconds and it was the perfect amount of food. We only had a little bit of leftovers. I would highly recommend! Read more
