The food was so delicious especially the butter chicken and garlic naan. We are sad that this will be the last time we can eat there and hope they can reopen in Ottawa.

Very good food, cheap prices on the food. Cocktails were tasty and comparable to more upscale places on Preston. Service was good until it filled up a bit more. Server was also bartender so it was taking a long time to get extra drinks and to order. Dirty plates sat on the table for a long time and we had to ask for new cutlery between starters and mains. Ambience was nice in the evening when the lights were dim and it was darker outside.

Delicious but the portions are very small. We ordered the butter chicken for two and had three mouthfuls each of chicken. A few naan and small bowl of rice. We left hungry.

We had booked the place for our anniversary celebration. OpenTable let me book at lunch hour. We reached the place and it was closed. We’re not able to call the numbers on Google Maps. We got a call back at the appointment time telling me that they only have dinner service. They should really update this on Google Maps and OpenTable. It was a big let down. They really need to take updating this stuff seriously.

I did visit ek baad on my birthday. There was no point in reserving the table and filling in for the type of occassion as they did nothing . Also, the prices are too high and the quantity is not even sufficient for one person. This would be my last time i wukd ever want to revisit. They have just hyped it for nothing and it is not even indian as the naan breads were from Costco, i can make same at home

Outstanding food and service. We had the Taste of India menu, which was a flavour sensation trip:-) From the starting ‘flavourful spice bomb’ which set the tone to the main dish of shrimp curry, it was delightful. They were short staffed for the evening, but really made up for it in attentiveness, engagement and quality of the food. This was my second time there, and I will go back again, so much more to try and enjoy
