Buddy's Fast Food (Indian Restaurant) — Restaurant in Ottawa

Dear Buddy’s Fast Food Team,

I have to say, I’m truly impressed with your food! Despite living in Ottawa for over 4 years, I had never heard of you until a night when we were out of Indian food options. My friend mentioned that Buddy’s Fast Food might still be open, and I thought I’d give it a try. Since then, I’ve been back three times, and each time has been nothing short of amazing.

The quality of the food is consistently top-notch — every dish I’ve ordered has been fantastic. Honestly, I can’t think of any other place in Ottawa that compares. I’ve tried almost every well-known Indian restaurant in the city (Choice, Honest, East India, Rama Krishna, Balista, Shaaz), but Buddy’s Fast Food stands out by far. The flavor, portion size, and price point are unbeatable, and having the convenience of late-night hours (till 2 AM) is a game-changer.

I truly believe you guys are an undiscovered gem, and you deserve to be more widely known. Your food is incredible, and you’ll undoubtedly achieve even greater success with some marketing or word-of-mouth promotion. I’ll certainly be spreading the word within my network, as I know many people who would love to experience your food.

Please keep up the great work! You’ve definitely earned a loyal customer in me, and I’m excited to see you grow.

Thank you,...

For those who are new here, the dine-in is not available yet. They only do take-out or delivery within 10km of range.

Also, the google map shows the right location, and there are 4 businesses in one building, so you have to go inside.

Talking about the food, Taste - Overall, I would say that it was a very good street food experience. Perfectly cooked veggies, sausages were as we told em and nicely grilled puff patties.

Presentation - Overall, It was good, I only noticed, or may be I don't know how to eat the puff lava thing but that is bit odd to eat as it was open from all the sides so it gets a bit soggy if you don't eat in time.(so the cook tried to do their best but I would say if they can do something differently, it will be more appreciated)

Packaging - We ordered 3-4 different dishes, and they were all nicely packed, with no leakage, and all of em were warm enough to eat. Cutlery included.

One more thing I would like to add here is that in some of their dishes, you can actually build the dish how you want it, so that's cool and good part.

Note: This is not about the store, but I was hungry, and I ate too much schezwan chutney and damaged my throat, so be...

Don't order the spicy Buldak. They charged me $10 for 50-cent instant noodle meal. Literally no distinguishing features (including size). Good for them for being audacious enough to make a $12 profit on instant noodles... Honestly one of the worst purchases of my life. The restaurant has no shame. Edit: forgot to mention that it took an hour to get my instant noodles... EDIT (to owner response): I work in the restaurant industry and even when we overprice items we at least add something unique to the dish. As you are a restaurant and not a convenience store I was expecting as such. Sorry for my high expectations. McDonald's gives more service and food for so much cheaper. I gave rough numbers before, but I want to let people know how much you actually sell it for without the BOGO offer (see attached) vs. what you're actually selling. This is actually embarrassing. You pay $1.79 for the noodles and 3-5 minutes of employee time? Lastly, I did not know there was an "instant noodle" category because I got it from the "Buy bulk and save" category. It seems the only thing you corrected me on is how much profit you made. Otherwise my review...
