What Elinore Kuphal likes about Light of India Restaurant Inc:
For special occasions or just because we always order Indian food from here. I can say with confidence everything on the menu is superb! For the quality of the food I think it's well priced. My daughter loves the onion bahji my husband loves the chicken korma, and I love the eggplant dish. Nice dining room, good service, but we usually order in so we can have leftovers the next day! View all feedback. What Samridhi doesn't like about Light of India Restaurant Inc:
We went there at 9pm on Friday and they did not lot us in stating that they have already closed. Although the timing on google maps said it closes at 9:30pm.When asked the same, they said they do not take dine in customers past 9pm. Then they should change the timings on their storefront. Very misleading View all feedback.

My favourite Indian restaurant in Ottawa for 20 years or more. Always good food. Great staff. So happy they appear to have survived the past few years.
