So I came here with my friends at 7:30pm, April 23rd, we were a group of 5, nobody was there at start to seat us. After we found someone at the desk, we asked him for the menu and he informed us that they have a buffet. Long story short, after 30min, another one working in the restaurant informed us that this table we were sitting on was reserved, and the restaurant was then full and no empty tables. They had no solution for this problem, they didn't accommodate us, and we left on our own out of respect for the people who reserved. I really can't express how incompetent the management is, period.

Hands down the best place in Ottawa for an Indian/Pak buffet. The quality of the meat curries blows away even the top places in Montreal or Toronto. Come here on a Saturday for the buffet and you will not be disappointed. The only worry was for my tummy - I really need to lie down after coming here. I’m coming back again and again!

We went as a group of three to the Pak India restaurant over the weekend. They serve lunch and dinner buffet over the weekend. It wasn't too expensive. I would say $25.99 per person for the dinner buffet. We ate at 5 pm for their dinner buffet. The food was exceptional and very flavourful. I was not disappointed and would go again when in the area. It is a small restaurant inside, so the buffet isn't a huge one, but they rotate the buffet dishes often. The service was good as well. I enjoyed their mango Lassi drink, and it is a drink that you can order for dine-in or take out.

While I didn't quite like anything about the biryani itself wasn't very good. They have a very good ambience and I was just looking for a perfect complement for such a snowy day. I went for their lamb biryani and the meat quality was top notch. But the rice was overpowered with tomato gravy which made the rice a bit soggy while the rice should be fluffy. Flavor was quite nice but I didn't like the fact that they put so much gravy in their biryani. It would be a highly recommended biryani if the rice was decent. Last but not the least, I want to give them another chance as the flavor was good enough.

We used to be a loyal customer coming on a regular basis. Changing my review. Used to be 4 stars as seen in the picture. Not anymore, not as fresh as before. On three seperate occasions, had to put the 100$ meal in the garbage. It is very frustrating to waste food and waste money. Will not return until a change is made. Very disapointed.

Did the Sunday buffet. Absolutely delicious food. Excellent service. For a buffet place to have 'paye' (leg shanks) cooked to perfection is a first in my life. For those with a sweet tooth, they make their Gulab Jamun in-house and they are one of the best I've ever had. It was a soul satisfying experience to dine at this restaurant.

The restaurant mostly focuses on takeout or delivery. My in person dining was very good because the restaurant is quite empty. The hostess was busy, so we were a bit neglected. On the other hand, no one rushed us out. Wear a sweater. The last two times I've been there, the place was cool to cold.

Delicious food. Famous for their paya in their mornings. Maash daal, naaan, chicken Karahi, lamb Paneer, all was very good

The food is good and fresh. Good customer service. Will come back

The food was absolutely phenomenal. Delicious flavours, good presentation, tasted very fresh, and the food came out quickly. This place screams value! It cost around $20 a person and each of us had enough leftovers for lunch the next day due to the generous portions. I would definitely recommend them.

My comment is specifically about the person at the cashier and handling calls. I would regularly order 'Samosa Chat'. In my opinion, that's the best dish at this restaurant. Today, the samosa chat was stale and burnt. I called the restaurant and raised the concern. The person on the telephone responded by saying "don't order from here anymore". Extremely rude behavior. This restaurant definitely lost a regular customer today.

This is hands down the best South Asian restaurant in Ottawa (Capital region). I have been eating there for the past 3 years with 2 Pakistani friends, and we always find it authentic and consistently great. The buffet is very reasonably priced and is a fantastic value for money. The buffet also includes naans, which is great - buffets at places like East India Company (which is my second favorite Indian restaurant) do not include naans/roti and you'd order them separately. The service is also courteous and considerate. I highly recommend this restaurant for an authentic experience. My favorites here: Non-veg: Biryani, Nehari, tandoori chicken. Vegetarian: Chanay, pakoray, bhindi. Dessert: Kheer 🤤

We went yesterday for the first time. I had heard good things about this and I am glad we stopped. I had a tender as could be lamb dish, my wife chose a vegetarian option. We both were very well fed. Instead of prepared in advance the chef mixed up our meals fresh and it showed. After we chatted a little bit with a gentleman who was, I think, the owner. It was great because we learned more about the cuisine, it's origins, and regional differences over what is eaten by the people there. I'm an enthusiastic talker and I wish we could have chatted more. Regardless we will return.

Loved ordering from here on door dash but the buttered chicken is so inconsistent, as if every week its a new recipe. Some days its super spicy, some days super creamy, some days its red instead of orange. Won't be ordering from here anymore if its always different.

went in to check out the buffet on Sunday, as I shall plan to go another time. all trays were full and nice looking good selection. even Paya, wow.. looking forward..

Pleasantly surprised! We didn't plan to go there but ended up dining at the place. The food was very nice and flavorful! Portions were huge! The kids enjoyed the Naan and butter chicken. The adults enjoyed the Jaamun (desert). No pics unfortunately as we were hungry and ended up hogging ! 😂

We were a group of 8 people for a lunch buffet, returning after maybe 3 years to this restaurant. Disappointed overall - that was the consensus of the entire group, because this place used to be our favourite spot for desi food. The taste and quality is just not the same. I hope the owner takes notice and makes changes.

I recently visited Pak India Restaurant and was blown away by the delicious food. The flavors were rich and complex, and every dish was prepared. I especially enjoyed the chicken tikka masala and the garlic naan, which were both delicious! The service was also excellent, with the staff being attentive and friendly throughout the meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic and delicious Indian\Pakistani cuisine. I can't wait to go back!

We went for dinner at this restaurant. Onion bhaji, mixed grill and Naan were delicious. Lamb Madraji, Butter Chicken had no flavor at all. Besides what they are calling as Lachha Paratha is probably just regular home made paratha. We will be back at this restaurant for the BBQ items and will stay away from all sorts of curries.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pak India restaurant and was blown away by the quality of the food. The dishes were expertly prepared and bursting with flavor, from the mutton biryani to the tender lamb vindaloo. The naan bread was freshly baked and perfectly crispy. The restaurant had a warm and inviting atmosphere, with beautiful decor and comfortable seating. The staff was very attentive.

Excellent, tasty food, first time eat buffet in ottawa, wonderful experience, welcoming staff

Amazing food and absolutely amazing service! Today was my third time there and it never fails to impress. It’s my family’s favourite restaurant. Only wish it was closer to our home. :)

This is my first time trying this kind of Chana samosa. It took half an hour to make and all I got was samosa dipped in milk (or yogurt hard to tell the difference since it was so thin). Not sure how someone could make such a simple dish so wrong. One positive thing was that the service was good and polite.

First time at this restaurant. Came with my family on recommendation. Wanted to order Masala Tea which is on their menu but was disappointed when waitress said they do not have any Tea bags. Weird that an Indian restaurant would have no tea bags. Food was good, large portions. Had a bit of a spill of the water on our table and asked for something to wipe up the water so it didn’t drip off the table. Waitress brought us the tiniest paper napkins which were not helpful. Had to go to the bathroom and get the paper towel to wipe the water off the table. Wouldn’t come to this place again. Only 1 waitress working taking orders for 3 tables and also working the front desk. Maybe buy a bulk amount of Tea bags and provide larger paper napkins? Or cloth napkins would be nice. Also their wheelchair accessibility buttons were not working on their side.

With an affordable price for an all you can eat buffet, and a wide variety of options that alternate every day, The food is always really good every time we go there no exceptions. The family that owns and operates the restaurant are the most hospitable, nicest, and respectful restaurant owners I have ever met. We eat there frequently and we will continue to do so. I highly recommend Pak India if you’re looking an authentic all you can eat Pakistani and Indian food.

Good food, Excellent service, and all at an affordable price! This place focuses quality over quantity and it shows! The staff are friendly and very hardworking. Definitely give this place a try next time you're in Orleans!

Bought 1 paya tonight and it totally ruined my evening. There was no shorba and it just felt like whatever was left over in the pot - some meat, grease and a bunch of tiny bones. It was like eating roti with mud. We always buy from you because the taste is good, but you should never compromise on quality. Super disappointing experience. I hope you won’t serve this kind of food to anyone else.
