Kalinga Indian Cuisine

“The dal was protein-rich and deeply flavored from slow cooking. The vegetable biryani was fragrant with whole spices. Indian cuisine can be exceptionally nutritious when prepared traditionally, and Kalinga shows that well.”

“for real the oil content in some dishes WAS higher than necessary. The paneer tikka was swimming in ghee. While ghee is traditional, a lighter preparation option would serve health-conscious diners wihtout sacrificing flavor.”

“Kalinga's chicken curry had real depth with layered spices also turmeric, cumin, coriadner, and a goood amount of chili. ok so teh naan was fresh from the tandoor. proper Indian food with bold unapologetic flavors Respect”

“The vindaloo could have been hotter. It was well-spiced but the heat level was medium rather than the face-melting intensity that vindaloo should deliver. Don't water it down for Canadian palates”

“The butter chicken was creamy and rich with a good tomato base. The naan was puffy and fresh. honestly quick service too, food came out in 10 minutes. For a fast, flavorful Indian meal in Ottawa, Kalinga delivers skip it”

“i mean teh samosas were frozen and deep-fried rather than made fresh. You can tell by the commercial pastry wrapper like when the curries are this good, the appetizers should match. Fresh samosas would elevate everything.”
