Indian Desi Affair restaurant — Restaurant in Ottawa

Ordered take out rather than eat in, but the place looks lovely inside when you go to collect. The meal was for 7 people, we ordered 5 main dishes plus sides. everyone was very happy with the food and there was lunch for 2 or 3 left over. We way over ordered the plain rice, Ordered 4 and didn't open 2 of them, we'll know next time and there definitely will be a next time. Only minor quibble was the extremely flavourful beef vindaloo, which was not as spicy as we expected but did taste lovely so I acknowledge it's a weird complaint.

I used UberEats to order a Butter Chicken and Chicken Curry last night. Chicken curry was great! I've found 2 hairs and a sizeable piece of burnt meat in my butter chicken. I want these guys to succeed but I believe they need a bigger focus on quality assurance.

Indian Desi Affair, I wish you all the best but you're making it hard to consistently...

Normally I wouldn't consider trying a restaurant with a sign like this......but I'm really glad we did. Another great option for quality fare served by people who love what they do. We were seated and served by Praitika, whose warm smile and friendly demeanor added to our dining experience. The appetizer variety platter was an excellent start to whet our appetite for the main course - tandoori chicken complete with sizzling platter, butter chicken, lamb korma, and naan. Dessert was the perfect end to the evening. Our only regret was the choice of our spice level - we asked for medium, and we felt it wasn't enough. Next time we'll be asking for hot. Highly...
