“Cozy environment, our waiter was so pleasant and easy to talk to. Portion sizes are huge, come hungry! The flavours were out of this world, their grilled asparagus was delicious and their butter chicken was to die for. All of the plating was gorgeous and looked like something that would cost $30 per plate but the bang for your buck is out of this world. We will definitely be going back.“

“This restaurant is the best. I went there and got a chicken biryani and butter chicken today. They were so damn good! ???

Just one recommendation - please try adding kottu to your menu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

To our delight, we were offered 2 complimentary Chai, which made our evening even better!The restaurant had a fantastic welcoming atmosphere, and the waiters were very helpful. The service was top-notch, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We recommend giving Ceylonta a try and we definitely plan on visiting again in the future.“

Not only that, the portions are substantial, the prices reasonable, and the staff is lovely. Great food, great prices, great service. The trifecta, and that is increasingly hard to find in Ottawa. Run, don't walk, and enjoy a great meal here. My new favourite place to eat in Ottawa.“

“My recent dining experience at this Kerala-inspired restaurant , left me thoroughly impressed. Initially hesitant about the concept of Kerala fine dining, I was humbled by the outstanding quality and extravagant flavors of the dishes. The ambience was superb, complemented by excellent customer service. The attentive staff, including the front of the house manager, ensured that our needs were constantly met. We were so impressed that our entire table decided to order another round of mains. Although we didn't have the opportunity to try the chef's tasting menu this time, it's definitely at the top of my list for my next visit. A must-try for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!"“

The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are affordable for everyone, while maintaining high quality and delicious taste.

“We went to try the rolled ice cream. Other items on the menu were not explained and the photos did not really help. If you're not familiar with these desserts which appear either Middle Eastern or South Asian, make sure you bring your food so you can google the dishes. Out server was unable to explain any of it to us in English. The ice cream was quite good, and watching him make it on the cold slab was entertaining. One cup of rolled used cream was about $9.“

“It was our first time trying this place. We usually go to a more fast food type Afghani restaurant. The food was delicious and large portion, we did get a family meal. More pricier than average but I guess that’s how it is with all restaurants now. Clean and food is fresh. Only complaint I would say is the mantu is only 6 pieces and they’re smaller compared to other restaurants.“

“Me and my sister ordered the lamb thali, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Given its location, it does attract the odd few quirky characters, but the service is great and the waiter handled the situation calmly. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of rice they gave in their Thalis too. Definitely a must try and will be back to try their buffet. This place is also definitely one of the more affordable take out/dine in choices within Ottawa right now.Parking: Free parking after 5:30pm but there is also an adjacent paid parking lot available.“

Love supporting this small and special business.“

They accomodated me no questions asked. the employees are super kind and polite. the food is delicious. my second time here and will come back.“

“I enjoyed the butter chicken and daal tanka each time I come. The best Indian food I have had in Ottawa.The value is in the food. It is counter service and a simple dining area. If you are looking for a date night, leave the kids with grandparents, bring it home and settle in with Netflix.“

“Wow!Thali beats the best of the best in the UK and Toronto. The lamb was delicious, we shared a few starters and a delightfully spiced Kerala curry. we didn’t have the platter that everyone else seemed to be having and I got serious FOMO. Top notch staff and just the right relaxed/sophisticated setting to make me feel pampered and ‘worth it’.We tried the Cool India beer too - loved it!Thanks Thali and Ottawa…we will be back ❤️“

“This is my all time favourite Indian restaurant in Ottawa and I am sad that there is no longer take out but I guess I will have to have a get together soon because I love their food so much!!! So many great vegan options and South African and Tanzanian dishes!!!“

“The food was delicious! Unfortunately, I ordered a little too spicey for myself to fully enjoy the meal, but what I had was absolutely amazing! I wish I could've taken the leftovers, but I couldn't since I was staying in a hotel.Staff were very kind and respectful, and polite!“

“I always love Indian food even though I have no idea what to ask for. This is a great local restaurant that serves incredible food. I had no idea what to order so my friend took over and ordered items that sounded like the bad guy list in a Star Wars movie. Nice restaurant that is quiet and could even be considered romantic with the right person. My Star Wars name slinging buddy did not make it feel romantic.“

“Solid flavors and an amazing atmosphere. This restaurant takes a nice home cooled Indian cozy feel. The flavors are amazing and the butter chicken was one of the best I've had since living in Tanzania.Portions are decent but not huge and the side dishes are far too small to have a 1 for 1 dish. All in all a nice small restaurant that would be perfect for a date night.“
