The food was delicious. We were the only customers, perhaps this played a part. I would rated it one star higher, however, did not for a few reasons. Service was not personable. Air was not ventilated at all - to the point where I will say, do not wear cherished clothing, because the smell of the oil and spices will not wash out. Halfway through supper my eyes were irritated and although I was enjoying the taste and quality of the food, I was not enjoying the experience. All that needs to be done is: smile more and air out the place, regularly.

Incredible flavors of dishes. Large selection of choices. Service is the best, explains and will discuss level of spice and adjust with your order. Restaurant is clean and we'll organized. AAA+. Will certainly go again. Take out is also available.

We came here with a Groupon for $30 worth of food (for $14.20) at 8:30pm on a Sunday. In short, my experience was similar to the (yelp-hidden) 1-star review below by Brian S. FOOD & SERVICE FAIL For the Groupon, we could only choose from the "dinner combo for two" menu. There were 4 combos to choose from. At this point, our server tells us that "naan, dal soup, and beef anything are unavailable" because there was a huge takeout order right before we showed up that completely depleted their naan, dal soup, and beef supply. I had several issues with this: - There was still 1.5 hours to closing time...and the restaurant will be open for tomorrow...so couldn't they make more? At least the naan? - This means that 3 out of 5 items that comes with ANY of the combo are unavailable. - If they didn't have any more ingredients to make the items and have to wait until tomorrow, then I can understand. But at least they should have offered other substitutes. To have fluffy warm naan is kind of a major reason we come to Indian restaurants, so we were already pretty disappointed, but when we asked for substitutes of the same menu prices (e.g. chai tea, raita, appetizers, etc.), the guy just said no. The only substitute we can get is just... more rice. Disappointed, we accepted this and ordered the Noorjahan Dinner, with lamb saag as substitute for beef curry (this they were ok with). I specifically said I don't want the Kohinoor Dinner because we have been eating a lot of chicken these days, and I can't eat the green peas in Aloo Peas. What came to our table was none other than the Kohinoor Dinner, exactly the thing I said out loud to the server I didn't want. Server checked his paper, and said that was his fault. At this point we were pretty unhappy, so I gave him 2 options: 1) we'll eat whatever they served and they reduce the entire meal price to $30 (instead of $45.99) for all the trouble 2) give us what we ordered and and we will pay the full price .....subtly pushing for Option 1. As expected, the restaurant went ahead with Option 2, and quickly cooked up the shrimp (frozen and not seasoned) and the vegetable bhaji (so so). Despite his mistake, I kind of felt bad for the server because, throughout this disastrous meal, he was basically a messenger between us and the owner/chef/management, who never had the guts to ever come out to talk to us in person. FOOD WIN The Mulligatawny Soup was really good. If the other items were all this good, I would have given 3 stars despite the service disappointments. +0.5 star AMBIANCE, CLEANLINESS The restaurant was quiet and had nice ambiance. The washroom was quite clean as well so props to that. +0.5 star OVERALL I would agree that this Groupon was a bit misleading. I also think that the management has terrible business sense - how much would it cost to substitute naan or dal soup with a tea, or raita, or lassi - if it can make the customer happy and make them come back? I also question the integrity of an owner/manager who doesn't want to apologize in person and insists on using a new, scared AF server as a messenger with unhappy customers. Food was OK but would not return.

Pulao rice was not what it's supposed to be. Just plain rice with some oily red liquid sprinkled on. The Madras chicken had no flavour except the spice, and the sauce was watery. The begun bhaji was ok, but the eggplant was slightly undercooked. I used to go to this place until sometime in 2014 and it wasn't bad, just wasn't great. Decided to try them again tonight. Never ordering again. When I first opened the bag it smelled like tomato paste.

Went there with my family and it was great. Great service and delicious food. Will happily return when we next want Indian food.

First time ordering from New Mukut bur will not be the last. Food was flavourful, spicy but yet sweet. The perfect meal and generous portion in the combo for two.

If you’re looking for authentic Indian, this is by far one of the best restaurants that offers it. It’s affordable, delicious and usually doesn’t take much time to prepare. The dining room is a bit small, but it makes for a more intimate and authentic dining experience. I highly recommend New Mukut to anyone that is looking for authentic and good Indian food

One of our go-to spots for Indian food. They are one of a few restaurants that offer Pasanda (chicken, lamb, shrimp) which I believe is a northern India dish. I really like the sauces here since it has a slight sweetness. The butter chicken is also very good with a nice thick sauce along with sides like palao rice and, of course, naan. Recommended if you like this style of Indian cuisine since it’s a bit different from the other southern Indian style restaurants.

I ordered chicken biryani and it was nothing like a biryani. It just just white rice with a bit of turmeric, chicken, onion, cloves and cinnamon. I needed to add salt to make the onion-rice dish taste a little bit better.

I used to eat here every Friday when I lived in Ottawa I still them about this place. The food is absolutely amazing, the flavours are incredible. The owner is so sweet, I used to get the samosa and tikka masala with a side of naan. You need to try it!! 🩷🩷🩷

Amazing Indian food! Personally the best in Orleans in my opinion. Super consistent with the quality of their food. Never disappointed.

My parents introduced me to this restaurant- they've been dining here for a couple of years. Excellent experience overall, with fast & friendly service and delicious food. We had the chicken vindaloo, chicken madras, butter chicken and naan, and all dishes were very good. I'll be back.

Ridiculously small portions, not a place I'll order from again. $14 for 2 tablespoons of curry serving. Save your money and buy elsewhere, I love indian cuisine and always on the lookout to try new places and this is the first disappointment. The taste is not great, I would know, being half Indian myself.

If I had an option of giving negative stars! I would undoubtedly give them! Worst food ever, please stop fooling people by giving this type of food! The curry was full of sugar and we order biryani and they gave us rice with frozen vegetables! Waste of money, I would not recommend at all…

Dahl soup was watery and flavour-less. Both the butter chicken and lamb korma were very oily and overly sweet. It seems to have been made by someone who hates Indian food. Gross.

Who puts raisins in biryani? The biryani tasted bad and its sweet like halwa. Puris were tandoori naan fried in oil. Total waste of money

If you like authentic Indian food, and you’re not afraid of a bit of spice, order from this place! Honestly, we are amazed at the quality of the the dinner we received tonight.. This is the most amazing Indian food we’ve ever ordered! …We will absolutely be order again.

Samosas are good but their butter chicken is soooo sweet tastes like dessert.

Called to ask if they delivered. The peroxide who picked up was unkind and rude. First time and last time calling. Weird!! I don’t understand why.

The best Indian food I've had in Orleans/Ottawa! Even from takeout, absolutely amazing. I can't wait to try it again.

Been going for years( roughly 8). The food is flavourful perfect balance of spice in all dishes.

This restaurant is a prime example of a typical Ottawa Indian restaurant. Ridiculously overpriced, small portions, very bland food and inauthentic. Just a trash restaurant.

Amazing and delicious food. The owners are very caring and eager to share their culture! What a gem!!
