Rayan - Ottawa

I tried this place for the first time recently. I explained that I was a first time customer and the server explained how everything worked. Based on other people's comments I ordered deep fried calamari and sautéed shrimp. The calamari had such rave reviews that I was looking forward to trying it. I was disappointed though as mine were quite rubbery and difficult to thoroughly chew. The shrimp likewise lacked flavor. I may try the place again and try the red snapper and a side of rice but truthfully was not that impressed.

Resto sells fish which u choose at their counter. Salesman was not very pleasant as it was our first time and dif not know how it worked. They brought a big bowl of salad which we shared. My hubby ordereda fish and chips and I chose a fish which came with head and tails. They brought his meal first with the shared fries. My fish came about 10 minutes later and my share of my fries were cold. My hubby would not go back. Services is slow.

The food was fabulous the service was excellent and the atmosphere was very welcoming. The concept is a little different you have to order your fish from the counter and then you choose how you want it cooked and your side. They charge you by weight. The salad was so good.

If you want a fabulous seafood dinner then this is the place for you! Simple, fresh and so flavorful! A 10 out of 10.

I ate there last night with couple of friends. Clean place, very friendly staff, and delicious fresh fish. Plenty of dishes to chose from. The salad and the humus were very good. The humus is different from the Lebanese humus.It was delicious.
