Great tasting food. The Light of India special platter is the best deal in town. It only comes with a single order of rice, but there is enough meat for three people.

The chicken curry was tasteful and the chicken was very tender however, the chicken was very fatty for some reason. The samosas where good but somewhat bland at the same time. The naan bread was no different than any other naan bread. All in all it was an ok experience, I would go back probably cause it's across the street from my house.

I have also moved away from Ottawa to Kingston. I have tried two Indian Restaurants in Kingston and they are both very poor. I have been spoiled by the superb quality at this place. This restaurant has to be one of the best Indian food places I have eaten at. It is second to none. The food is so good I can't wait for my next trip to Ottawa to have another meal.
