Reviews for Aahar The Taste of India (Alta Vista) in Ottawa, ON

We unknowingly went during Diwali and it was crazy busy! They had two massive groups to deal with along with a few other small... groups. However, they were able to seat us within about 10 minutes and, though it took a bit longer (understandably), theydidn't forget about us and kept refilling our water and such while we waited for the food. When it did come (which was still ingood time)- it was SO good! The naan was so good- we all got different dishes and they were all incredible. The servers werevery kind despite the stress of a packed restaurant. Outstanding service and food- HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We will definitely comeback ???? Read more

I was in town for meetings and had some time to grab a quick lunch before the next one. Aahar showed up as I searched for... restaurants in the area. I figured I'd give it a go as I have tried Indian food a couple of times before. I explained to theserver that I was pressed for time and couldn't enjoy a traditional Indian meal. He suggested Afghan Chaap. I didn't know whatit was, but from what he told me, I gathered that it had grilled soya pieces. I went for it despite my reservations. And I waspleasantly surprised. It had a wonderful, creamy texture. And was accompanied by a tangy, mildly spicy chutney that added agreat flavor. Notably, the serving size was perfect for a light meal. I would love to visit again for a proper lunch or dinnerwith family. Read more

This is my second time here and I love it. The lunch buffet is always nice. The service today was really good, they were super... nice and fast. Unfortunately for me I always eat the same thing ???? I’m scared to try new things. Definitely recommend!! Read more

This amazing Indian cuisine falls nothing short of a 5-star rating! The food was fresh and the buffet was well organized. All... the food was delicious, one of which being their infamous butter chicken! On top of food quality, the service was excellent,filled with hospitable and patient waiters. This place is a must-try, highly recommend! Read more

Great experience. The food was a little mild spicewise but awesome Customer service. Our server ANMOL was exceptionally good.

To start with we went there one day and food was literally awesome.Bread were extremely soft and curries were super yummy..But... then we decided to visit again for buffet and guess what we experienced very bad service and buffet food was completelydifferent than the regular food ..pakoras were hard like rock, Raita was sour like tamarind, bread were very very thick, currieswere fine but we waited for almost 30 mins as containers were empty and they didn't fill anything for 30-40 mins..We ate justfruits and salad to fill our stomach ..! Wasted our 50 dollars ..! Need more organisation..! Read more
