Shafali Bazaar - Ottawa, Ontario

Not only the worst East Indian meals we've had in recent memory, possibly the worst meals period. I had the saag paneer. The paneer cheese was watery and bland. The saag paneer as a whole was watery, bland and too sweet. That's right: too sweet! Why would anyone add sweetness ... to saag paneer? Rather than a dense, creamy texture, it was more like spinach soup. The rice was also bland. The salad, though, was fresh and the dressing was good. Great service, but we won't be going back.

Seriously the best lunch spot in Ottawa! I always get the Vegetarian Wrap and it’s absolutely delicious. It's about $15 and worth every penny.

Good food and it was nice feeling like it was really made right there in front of you. It was hot! I ordered butter chicken plate.

We ordered the lamb curry in a hurry and chicken tikka. We absolutely fell in love. For such an unassuming place, the food was exceptional. We wouldn’t even have come across this place if we didn’t get inside the Byward market building to explore. Will definitely come back for more!

I’m always highly skeptical of eating anything in the Byward market due to the fact that it’s typically bad food at a high price meant for tourists to eat. That being said, I was in a gym one day and needed to have lunch with some people from work while ... we were on a video shoot nearby. I have been wanting Indian food recently and saw someone’s order being taken as I walked by and it looked pretty good. This was probably the biggest surprise I’ve had in a long time. The food was great and I’ve never had butter chicken like the way they cook it here. I’m not saying that it was my favorite butter chicken I’ve ever had but it definitely was in my top three. I would 100% recommend this spot as it has many options and lots of veggie options so no matter who you’re eating with they will be something for them Read more
