Chester H. • November 19, 2017One of the few "third wave" coffee places in Ottawa, the wave is growing slowly! Really good coffee and it doubles as a great bar with an awesome beer and whiskey selection

Metro News • October 7, 2010People from across Ottawa come for takeout, a testament to the quality. Get the butter chicken: creamy, tender, perfectly spiced and greaseless. Naan on the side is essential to sop up extra sauce.

Nadège A. • January 21, 2018Had the rabbit which was a special for the night. Loved my meal and the restaurant overall but it was a bit loud for my taste.

don m. • November 22, 2009Sam is a fine cook - his soups are great. Jan is my favorite in the kitchen though - great cook.

Mark B. • March 1, 2015Their smoothies are amazing. Well at least the one with mango and coconut milk. One of the best I've had. Also enjoyed the potato and black bean soup. The decor doesn't support the prices.

Elizabeth M. • June 1, 2014Great place, doors thrown open, cutlery clattering, waitstaff singing, coffee is always fresh. Wonderful place to spend a leisurely Saturday morning. Best poached eggs on rye around!!
