This evening ( 31 August 2025), we ordered a dosa and egg muppas ( entree) for our dinner. To our surprise, the muppas were served within no time, while the dosa was served well after 25 to 30 minutes!! For any Indian foodie, this would immediately raise suspicion about the food, as the dosa should not take any time to prepare, while the other than takes some time to cook. Anyway, when I tasted the eggs on the entree, the yoke was very cold and the bread served with the entree was also just lukewarm. When I questioned the waiter, why the yolk is so cold, she did not answer the question and was trying to persuade it is ok. Upon further pushback, the waiter said, this food was served in the afternoon buffet and we just used the leftover food!! They serve recycled food and expect the customer to pay the full price and they do not want to even hide that!! So if you choose to visit this restaurant, make sure you get the fresh food.

I am giving Mia's a 5*, because the food was very tasty and the experience was smooth. The kitchen also made lamb Korma as a special request. The restaurant is located on the corner of St. Laurent and Hemlock, within a 1/2 a block of transit. I had spent the morning to early afternoon at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum, so I had quite an appetite. It was a lovely sunny afternoon, so I sat on their deck. My beverage had to be chai tea and really enjoyed the flavour. I ordered the appetizers of the deep fried cauliflower and the tikka chicken. So very tasty!! I also had to try their Mulligatawny soup. Loved it! I love lamb Korma, but this wasn't on the menu. I did notice another lamb dish and another Korma dish, so I asked the server if the kitchen would make a Lamb Korma for me. No Problem! When the dish arrived it was sooo... delicious! The dessert was a Mango Lassi. Very tasty and smooth. To close, my Mia's meal was one of the most memorable of my trip to Ottawa. The next time I visit Ottawa I will be going back for more. I hope that this review helps you decide to seek out Mia's Indian Cuisine, enjoy their fare and support the local restauranteur. Thanks for reading.

This is probably hands down the WORST place that has ever prepared my favorite dish, Korma. I…read moreordered this dish as take out and didn't see or taste it until I retuned from my $40 taxi ride back to my hotel. I ordered Shrimp Korma and asked it to be medium spice instead of mild. I was surprised when I opened the container when and disgusted when I tasted it. No curry spice. No spice at all. I was looking at a tin container of what tasted like undercooked shrimp drowning in yellow evaporated milk. NO flavor beside a disgusting sweet taste. I know not all Indian restaurants will make this dish the same, however I wouldn't feed this to my worst enemy. The owner suffered a credit when I return. Yeah, right!!! Steer clear. AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL!!! If I could give it negative stars I'd give it -5!

We enjoyed paneer tikka, chaat papri, garlic gobi and onion baji. All the appetizers were excellent and disappeared quickly. The garlic gobi (cauliflower) was my least favourite but was still very good. For our main dinner, we ordered bharta, dal makhani, paneer jalfrezi and palak paneer. Bharta was good but the dal and two paneer dishes were excellent. We ordered medium spicy and it was just the right amount of heat for everyone's palate. For breads we ordered some plain naan, garlic naan, lacha paronta and tandoori roti. I tried the two types of naan. They were the best naan I have had in a long time. Soft and crispy and buttery. One of the things that made them standout was the thickness. They were an even thickness and cooked evenly over the entire surface. Many places serve naan that is thin in some spots and burns and thick in others where it remains undercooked. Here they were perfect. The service was excellent also. Our server Sandeep checked on us frequently, and made sure our water was regularly topped up. Highly recommend eating in. The food is so much more enjoyable when it comes fresh from the kitchen.

The tea tastes very good and reminds me of the tea my mom used to make at home. I had the devil chicken and it was very good. It was not too spicy but flavorful. None of the food was extremely spicy like other Sri Lankan restaurants so this would be a safe place for people who cannot handle spicy food too well but like the flavor. This place has a lot of Indian food options too but I did not try any of those since it is harder to find Sri Lankan food. (Sri Lankan and South Indian food share similarities but are not the same!)
