Sona the Indian Kitchen is easily one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve tried in Ottawa, and I completely understand why so many people recommend it. From the moment you walk in, the decor stands out, the place smells incredible, and you can literally smell the Indian spices from the front door, which instantly makes you hungry. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating, so even when it’s busy, finding a table usually isn’t an issue.
The food is absolutely delicious, perfectly spiced, flavorful, and clearly made with care. No questions asked, the quality is top tier. Prices are a bit on the higher side compared to other Indian spots, so it’s not somewhere I’d go every time I’m craving Indian food, but it’s definitely worth it once in a while.
Service is good overall, though it could be even better with a bit more warmth and smiling from the staff. Orders do take some time to come out, which can be a little frustrating, and even getting water took longer than expected. If possible, I’d recommend asking for water as soon as you arrive. Despite that, the experience and food quality make it a place I’d still highly recommend.
