DELICIOUS AND AUTHENTIC!!! I love this place for authentic kothu roti, and a fun twist on items like their butter chicken kothu roti. The owner/chef is a sweetheart! Their food is authentic, spicy if you want it to be! Ive had their biryani and enjoy that as well. I have ordered from here about 4 times in the past year and its always fresh.

It is a small Kottu Restaurant, mainly focused on take out. The location wasn’t hard to find and the employees were really sweet and welcoming. The Kottu is probably one of the best I have had in Canada. Will go again when I visit Ottawa.

Great food - fresh ingredients, tasty, nice spice level. Great value! Under $10 for three veg/an curries, rice and papadum. Their namesake dish (pictured) is a bit more expensive but super filling. The ambiance is mediocre, but it’s primarily a take out joint. If you’re looking for a nice sit down meal, hit up their awesome sister restaurant Ceylonta!

Their takeout packaging is eco friendly adding to the big green thumbs up I’ve given them.

Kothu roti was a bit soggy for my liking, but tasted decent. Spice level was adequate and good quantity of food for price. Need to go back to try other food items

OMG, ONE OF OTTAWAS BEST KEPT SECRETS.

The food that we had last night was epic.

Price, flavor and service. From a montrealers perspective I wish Ottawa had more hidden gems like this.

I will be back sooooo much more to try. Thank you again for a wonderful meal

Not a safe place to eat "FOR ME", An old man tried to kill me in February 2022.
I don't want to give a bad review because I don't want to destroy their business. For everyone safety I would like to share my experience in this location. Every time when I see this picture, I thank God that I'm still alive, I thank God that I didn't swallow 1 inch of nail tool in my stomach while eating the Dosa.

Every time when I see the picture of tool nail in my Dosa my hair stands up and my stomach gets sick. I came here once and the Dosa was really really good, so decided to came back to celebrate my birthday in February 2022. An old man was doing the Dosa for me.

After eating 3 bites, I saw the tool nail inside the Dosa, so I showed it to the old man, the old man told me that we never have that nail, it's not our nail. I was so angry that I don't even know what to say, I didn't say a word. The old man think I would eat a big bite, his plan was not successful.

I really wish he would did it to another bad customer and the bad customer would show him a lesson.
The old man should have thanks to me, he's very lucky that I didn't call the police, the Ministry of Health and the media right away.

Note: Dosa and dipping were not good enough. Here is the truth when I get home I have a stomach upset and I have had diarrhea for 2 days. I knew they know how to cook a good quality food. I really hope that they respect their business, their customers and use a good products.

They owe me in apologize.

As a fellow Sri Lankan I'm all about supporting sri lankan businesses. This definitely wasn't the best food I've had but also not the worst. I ordered the mutton kothu which was a tad too salty but otherwise was okay. The deviled chicken was also not bad and isn't as hot as I was expecting. The mutton rolls were a let down, as it was way too much bread. I would not order them. Portion sizes were good and the service was very courteous. Definitely mom and pop vibes here.
