Apart from the fact that this successful, reliable, clean and friendly restaurant never fails to make fantastic food, the CHICKEN MADRAS AND NAAN ARE SOOOOOOOO GOOD!!

I had a business meeting and one of my colleagues recommended we drive here for lunch. That was a great decision! The food here s amazing if you are not a fan of yummy spicey Indian food you can fund "less spicey" options but you are missing a lot. For 20$ you have an all you can eat open buffet that as a vegetarian I felt I have enough options here (Indian right :) ). So yes its not super cheap but if you check in on your yelp app you get 15% off and still ~20$ for an all you can eat , fresh and high qualty indian food is a great deal. More...

Excellent Indian food. Butter chicken is one of the best I’ve ever had. The curry dishes are superb. I’ll be a regular now and I hope you like me.

The best Indian in Ottawa! This is my go to joint! I love hitting up their buffets when I can. The food is always consistent. The food is authentic and rich in flavor. Whenever I try new places I always regret it because host India is really the only place one should go for Indian in Ottawa. I don't even want to tell you more about it because if you're considering it, just go try it!!! More...

Great curry and ambient atmosphere. Came for dinner on boxing day. The restaurant was quite busy so it took a while to get our orders in. The food was great though, and also comes with complimentary chips with green cilantro yogurt dip.The portions are generous and there's great variety in terms of curry bases, meats and toppings. Naans are freshly made, soft and fluffy.Great dining experience and with the 15% off Yelp offer makes a great meal! More...

I can't believe I am the only customer in the restaurant. The food is outstanding. Lamb Vindaloo perfectly spiced with just the right amount of heat. Best Naan I have ever had. Crispy, soft and very flavourful. Pakoras wee a little over cooked but the pickled carrot garnish was the perfect sourness. Chicke legs were very flavourful but slight over cooked. The cardamom in the rice pudding was delicious. The yogurt dip(I don't know what it's called) was a perfect compliment to the spicey vindaloo. A marvellous meal. What wine goes well with Indian? I had the house Pelee Island Vidal. A decent wine but better after the meal not during. More...

My favourite Indian restaurant! Everything I have ordered from here so far has been delicious! The nan bread is amazing, fresh warm and it's very large. Everything tastes fresh or homemade when ever I order. Honestly, what's not to love? Spicy, fresh, homemade, with lots of herbs, veggies & meat. YUM! Only down side is the prices are a bit high, so I only order from here on special occasions or once in a while. Otherwise I'd probably order from here all the time. More...

Picked up take-out last night and ordered Butter Chicken and Tandoori Chicken. The food was fantastic. The Butter Chicken was perfect with generous chunks of white meat and the sauce was rich and delicious with just a little kick. It might be my favourite Butter Chicken I've had in Ottawa so far. And the Tandoor Chicken was also excellent. Portions of rice that came with it were plentiful. We also used the 15% off coupon through Yelp which was great. We will definitely return as the 15 minute drive was well worth it (as other reviewers assured me!). More...

Excellent! I got takeout here for the first time and it was great, I got butter chicken while on the go and I was a little skeptical about the price (18$) until I saw the size, one order is enough for a couple or small family and definitely delicious!

My partner and I went for dinner, and we were not disappointed at all. Beyond fantastic service and the food was exactly what we needed after a long day of skating. The Punjabi thali platter was definitely the best of the two plates we ordered. The rice pudding was unexpectedly great! The only disappointing thing of the whole experience, was that there wasn't more customers. This place is great! My partner and I will without a doubt be back next time we are in Ottawa. More...

The food is always fresh and hot, absolutely delicious. The staff is attentive and personable, and pays great attention to the presentation of each meal. A comfortable atmosphere, and the staff always takes the opportunity to engage with us in very warm and hospitable conversation. We took two of our children there last evening, and our meals were outstanding, and the staff went to extra lengths to make certain we were satisfied with everything. Our "go-to" Indian restaurant! Best naan bread, ever! More...

My husband and I came across Host India in a karma kind of way but that is a long story. We went to eat on a friday night and there you go, the two owners are working. That was already impressive. The service was great and the food outstanding. I have to say, I have never tasted better nan bread.I highly recommend the Lamb Rogan Josh mmmmmmmmmmm so incredible. Try it, you won't be disappointed !! More...

This is my go to restaurant when I am craving Indian food. Ordered out for the second time this past Friday, and I am sold! They make the best pakoras and onion bhaji! The sauces that come with those dishes are amazing, but spiiiiiiiicy! The na'an bread is addicting, and I can literally just eat that and I'd be satisfied. I also tried the gobhi aloo, which is a cauliflower and potato dish. It was quiet good.Its a little hard to get into the parking lot, and the spots are tight, but that does not stop me from getting my takeout! :) Take out takes not more than 15 min for these guys to prepare the food, which is great! I have never been inside to dine in, so I cannot judge on the service/decor, ect. Def recommend! More...
