Karara The Indian Food Takeout

Great food, friendly service! Got the 2 meat 1 veg and rice combo with rice and naan bread! I will be back

5 stars! We have had it a few times now and every time it is always well prepared and delicious! Really good!

It's the second time I had their takeout and, like the first time, it was delicious. I had their med.spiced Butter Chicken which was beautifully spiced, a generous portion and the Naan bread three times the size one normally gets. I can only recommend this place.

Garlic naan burnt and tasted like jarred garlic. Dal makhani was ok. Butter chicken watery and sweet. There are better options in the area.

1 star i would rate 0 if possible naan was raw.chicken curry tasted rancid and had raw chicken.i dont know how the health department hasnt shut this place down.complete waste of money i wish i saw these reviews before ordering.

Yesterday night, i.e on 7th Jan, 2023, we took a takeout from the Kanata outlet of Karara. Not only this would definitely be our last order from Karara but I have serious concerns on the food safety here. The raita that was given, not only was super sour or stale but it was jelly like moldy yogurt. I was not expecting this and tried it spoonful and had my share of stomach problems. Thanks I tried it before we gave it to our kid.
The Naan was too much under-baked; we had only the outer sides and throw away the inside which was raw.
I am not going into the taste of the food, which can be vary based on individuals preference; for me the biriyani was just a masala rice and has no relation to biriyani of any nature from any part of India. Butter chicken was ok, eatable at least.
Most concerning is the food safety concern rather than the taste. Good that Ottawa now has much better options and we dont have to depend upon these outliers.

It was really good, i mean really good! Our second time there, because last time, it was really good too! LOVE the Naan as well. Massive pieces!

Just ordered delivery online. There was a small problem with the order so I called the restaurant and it was immediately taken care of with no hassles. Very kind delivery driver and the woman on the phone who so quickly and politely resolved my issue was great! Best customer service experience and the food was delicious. Thanks and I will definitely be ordering from here again.

I placed an order for take-out on Wednesday.it was really worth the money i have spent.quality and quantity of food was just awesome and delicious.i recommending everyone to go there and try their food.

I ordered off Uber Eats. I noticed the reviews were fairly mixed - either excellent, or very bad. I decided to give them a chance anyways. Let me assure you, avoid this place at all costs if you are looking to eat butter chicken. The chicken it’s self was dry, and the sauce was bland and watery and did not offset the awful taste of the chicken. The only thing they did correctly was make the rice. Big whoop. I’ll be taking my business elsewhere.

I am not sure even if someone associated with this restaurant will read this. So, no hope of improvement. Being in Kanata, unfortunately, the only option is Karara. Last time, I have ordered a vegetable chowmein which was too saucy (sweet) and they have added broccoli (surprise).
Today, with a busy day opted to pick up food which had a chicken curry, Samosa and a garlic naan. I have asked them to make chicken curry as mild and what were the instructions given in the kitchen God knows. The chicken curry was too watery, Samosa was burnt from the outside and raw from the inside, same with naan which was a rubbery dough (raw).
So, I have called the restaurant and was asked to come back tomorrow to get the replacement of the chicken curry. I don’t know-how is that convenient as I am hungry at the moment, later was offered a $5 refund after spending $38
Thanks but keep it with you and don't take orders if you don't want to serve properly. Because of you, so much food is wasted.
Shame!

My son ordered several dishes as a treat for a family dinner today. All the dishes delivered were delicious including butter chicken, beef vindaloo, lamb vindaloo, two paneers, three types of samosas. Problem was that we did not receive the naan he ordered or the dessert, or the papadums. He used skip the dishes and they did give a credit back to him when he notified them of the missed items. I will be hesitant to trust skip the dishes as an order option in the future given this mistake. How does a driver not know he missed dropping off a significant part of the order? It was contactless so they drop the bags and go. I will pick up my orders to ensure I get what I ordered in the future.

The online ordering is convenient. Time to prepare food hasn't been bad in my experience. However, food isn't great. Everything is rather bland. Quantity is below average for the price.

That was my first time trying this restaurant and the last time!

Too expensive and tasteless food! I ordered Tandoori Chicken, it was too old or it seems like 1/2 days old!

I do not recommend this restaurant!

Thanks

Hit or Miss! You can never get guarantee that you will get same taste everytime for same dish.sometime they cooked delicious dishes and next time they dont. Not sure if their cook has been changed since last few months but I am very dissatisfied with the dishes since last 6 months. I used to liked them in the past and gave them enough chances but I think not worth it any more!

While placing an order, I asked a specific question and the response from Karara was "You are not going to instruct us, how to do things".
If there is an option I would rate -5 (minus 5). The specific question was asked because last time after consuming the food from this location I got sick. I am now wondering why did I even was about to place another order. Thanks Gary from Karara for his comment.

I ordered tandoori cauliflower (mild spice level). What we got had way too much food color in it than permissible limit. And was too spicy. I will never buy from karara kanata again.

This place is welcoming with charming service and food better than I have tasted since I was in canada. The veggie samosa has very flavourful filling. Everything is well worth the price. The owners are very nice and it shows they love what they do. Had the lunch special with butter chicken and vegetables
