Only Bangla restaurant. Had dinner on weekday by ordering food. Had really good Bangladeshi food. Pabda maach, gorur kala vuna, daal, kichuri-dim vaaja evrything was good.
The service was fast.
The owner himself was at service and had a chat as well.
Was honest with suggestions.

Been here twice! Owners are super nice! Quality and taste of food has improved since last time. The kacchi biryiani has improved, I still wouldn’t call it kacchi biryiani but more like beef biryiani. Will return.

The food is absolutely authentic and delicious!! We loved our experience while dining there. The flavours of Bangladesh are truly represented by the quality and flavours of the food. Great marketing amongst the target audience can really help and make this place grow and become popular. Keep up the great work. Thanks a lot for your service!!

First time tried the one and only Bangladeshi restaurant of Ottawa and loved loved their foods. We tried lamb biriyani, rohu fish, daal and tea and each of those were amazing, straight outta real bengali kitchen.

The owners are really humble and constantly checking if we are doing ok and need anything.

Thank you for this wonderful food and hospitality. We were not even from this city, were traveling from Thunder Bay and amazed by your food. Worth the visit 😊

What a disappointment! I was so excited to finally see a Bangladeshi restaurant open up, but this is what I get for 18 dollars? On Uber Eats it just says “Walima Roast” with no description at all. As someone who has had Bengali food in different parts of the world, I naturally thought it would be a proper meal with pulao and chicken, especially for the price. Instead, I got something that feels like a complete joke.

Shame on you. If you spent less time trying to cover every cuisine under the sun and actually focused on your own, which is Bengali cuisine, you might have stood a chance. I was just craving the flavors of home, but this was a total letdown. You are nowhere near the level of Bangladeshi restaurants in Toronto or even average takeout spots.

You lost one Bengali customer today. Here’s some advice if you care about getting better: stop trying to please everyone, focus on your roots, and actually represent our food with pride. Right now, what you’re doing is embarrassing.

Edit after having the food: After actually having the food, it got even worse. The chicken was bland and full of food color with no real taste of Walima roast chicken. Even a subpar Indian restaurant would cook better food than this
