By far the best Indian restaurant in Ottawa. Forget about Brampton/GTA, their food reminds you of the tastes from India. I got the Amritsari kulcha with choley. It was delicious and filling. Also got some sweets as well and they seemed fresh. Prices are extremely reasonable(most dishes are around $ 10). The owner and his wife are lovely and they seem to care a lot about their customers. When they made an extra Amritsari kulcha by mistake, he gave it to us and didn’t even charge us for it. Definitely recommended.

Wow! Great Indian food in the west end! We ordered from here yesterday(for delivery). There was an excellent selection of vegetarian food. The vegetarian samosas and the naan selection were outstanding. We also enjoyed the Chaat Papri, Paneer Tikka Masala, and the Chili Onion Kulcha. Service was fantastic, and they even threw in some dessert samples(since desserts were not an option through the SkipTheDishes app). We will order again! Highly recommended!

I’m glad my friend brought me here. I moved from San Jose to Ottawa, and it is hard to find quality indian vegetarian food here. The indian places where I ate in ottawa were too expensive, and the food quality was’t that great either. I guess I’m spoilt after living in San Jose for long. This place is small but decent, both price and taste wise. It’s more like a ‘dhaba’ food but I’m glad Ottawa has something of this sort

My Gf and i had dinner there last night. I had aloo tikki chaat. So amazing! One of the best restaurant meals i’ve had in awhile. Service was excellent, the owner actually gave us a piece of spicy mint chicken to grill at home. Very good prices, everything was very clean and fresh and a great little restuarant!

We got 2 biryanis and a chicken wrap. Bill came to $ 34 and the portions were for 1 each. Biryani tasted like it only had cardamom. only good thing is it came with a lot of meat. Had better Indian food in ottawa. Not going back

The more time you spend reading this, the longer you’re depriving yourself of the greatest Indian food ever. Go now.

Without a doubt, the best Indian food in Ottawa. The food isn’t made extra mild for Canadian palates.

Ordered delivery from this place tonight. We got chicken korma, dal, goat curry, vegetable byriani and cheese naan. I honestly have no idea what the other reviewers are talking about. The cheese naan was obviously microwaved(it was absurdly soggy and had taken on the texture of microwaved bread), the korma was only about a quarter filled with chicken(the rest was sauce) and had basically no flavour, the dal was just generic spicy. The worst was the goat curry though. It had a thick layer of oil on top and almost no curry sauce. Overall, so unappealing that we ended up just throwing it out and ordering from Swiss Chalet. Save your money and take a drive over to Golden India on MacArthur — it’s truly the best Indian in Ottawa.

Heard good things about this a few sources, and decided to organize a take-out run with a few co-workers this past Thursday. Order included 3 non-veg thali, 2 veg thali, med chicken curry & rice, med goat vindaloo & garlic naan, paneer tika wrap, and dahi bhalla. Everyone who ordered said they would definitely do this again, and several others asked to be included for the next take-out run based on the smell of the office alone. My only complaint was with the vindaloo; while the sauce was *amazing* … perfectly spicy, and yet extremely flavourful, however the goat was mostly bone. Don’t get me wrong … while don’t expect boneless, some meat would have been appreciated. However, I will definitely be back to give some other dish a try based on this experience. And yes, I am giving it 5 stars regardless of that issue … after having spent 10 years in the GTA and 2 now in Ottawa, I’ve been dying for some ‘authentic’ GTA-style Indian food :)

Visiting for a conference, and decided to try Brampton Meats after combing Reddit for«hidden gems» with excellent food in Ottawa. This is definitely a gem! The food was amazing(I had Palak Paneer) and we had some of the best service of our lives! My husband, sister-in-law, and nephew loved their food, especially the Chicken Biryani and Lamb Curry. Did I mention they have Butter Chicken Poutine? It’s excellent. Everything was seasoned and spiced well and it was very affordable. If we lived here, we would be regulars for sure.

Hands down the best Indian food spot in Brampton… I mean Ottawa. I haven’t visited an Indian takeout spot in Ottawa that has yet to hit the money on cost & quality as Brampton Meats has. I usually order their Lamb/Goat Biriyani, some fresh marinated tandoori chicken pieces for the grill, and a few samosas to start — all very fresh, flavourful, and authentic! I have also tried their curries and naan which are also great and rich in flavour, especially the butter chicken, and stuffed keema naan. The owner is also very friendly and helpful. definitely my go to spot for Indian food from now on… and probably for work event catering as well! The only suggestion I have is to maybe knock it off and stop confusing us all with the restaurant name, we’re in Ottawa not Brampton. but I guess who really cares, food is great.

I just got takeout from here today and the food is really good! I got 2 Non-Veg Thalis($ 8.99 each). Each comes with Butter Chicken, Goat Curry, Chickpea Curry, Basmati Rice, Naan, Raita and a Gulab Jamun. The Thali comes in a plastic Bento-like box or as my husband said it looks like«an over-sized airplane meal.» So it’s one big rectangular plastic container with separate compartments for each item. I’ve never had takeout in a container like that, and I have to admit, I was a little fascinated by it. The naan was separate and wrapped in aluminum foil, by the way. The Butter Chicken was full of boneless chicken pieces and rich buttery sauce(so good). The Chickpea Curry had a very deep and strong curry taste to it. I loved it. The Goat Curry was the spiciest curry of the three, but not too spicy. It was flavourful and tasty, but I didn’t like all the bones and tendons. The Basmati rice was nicely cooked, not too mushy nor too dry. The naan was the best naan I have had in Ottawa. Very blistery but not burnt(I hate it when there are black spots — this naan had no black spots). I’m not a huge fan of Raita in general, so for what it is, it was good. My Gulab Jamun was covered in Butter Chicken sauce! Since the compartments in the container are not completely segregated, there is some cross-contamination. I don’t mind having some Goat Curry sauce in my Butter Chicken, or some Chickpea Curry sauce in my rice, but Butter Chicken sauce on my Gulab Jamun was weird! I suggest that they put the dessert in a separate container altogether to avoid this problem. All in all though, I loved everything.(They put the rectangular plastic container inside a cardboard box, so everything is well insulated and my food was still really hot when I got home). The portion sizes are large. The price is excellent for Ottawa. And the food is delicious. Plus, the staff are very friendly. They also sell raw meats here, but I didn’t get any. This place is on Meadowlands at the corner of Woodroffe. It’s on the other side of the parking lot of where the Quiznos used to be. I think Mr. Mozzarella is still in the same strip mall. I think a convenience store was where Brampton Meats is now. Anyway, there is a small parking lot next to the store. If you like good inexpensive Indian food, you should give this place a try. It’s takeout only. No place to sit and eat.

Welcome to Ottawa Brampton Meats! What a pleasant surprise to drive by, stop in and see such an attractive selection of marinated meats as well as prepared dishes. The marinated dishes were superb — cooked at home according to your instructions. And very good take out butter chicken as well. But what really rocked the joint were the fish pakoras. Fantastic.

Great food and the prices are very reasonable. Just had their Chilli chicken and was blown away by the quality. The owner is super nice too. Ill be back soon as I love Indian food, plus they have a section of Indian marinated meats so I can do it at home too

Finally some great authentic Punjabi food in Ottawa. Love it !!! Brampton Meats recently opened on the corner of Meadowlands and Woodroffee and we found out about the joint from some friends who were there on the day of open — 31st Jan, 2014. We stopped by on the 1st of Feb, 2014, and to say that we were impressed would be an understatement. The place is shining clean, has absolutely the best assortment of Punjabi meats and Punjabi staple food in Ottawa, with amazingly hospitable proprietors. Ravinder and Navneet took the time to walk us through all the offerings(lots to choose from vegetarian and non-vegetarian) and had us try some of the cuts that we had not tasted before. We ended up carrying out 2 meat dishes and 2 vegetarian thalis — all reasonably priced and very well presented. The naan that came with the dishes was fresh out of the oven and the yogurt/raita was tastttttttttttyyyyyy. We ended up eating everything the same evening in one go. Next day we were back to try the Chana Bhatura and again we were pleasantly surprised. Two wins in two days :)
