Vivaan (now Katha Ottawa)

My wife and I did date night here a little while back, the food was beautiful and rich with flavours. The total time was about 1 1/2 hrs but went by fast as the staff was great and the Chefs were wonderful in explaining what inspired them to create their dish. I’m sure we will be visiting this place again in the near future!

Enjoyed a very tasty and interesting 8 course fixed menu here.

Dinner at Katha was an experience. The chef provided thoughtful explanations on each course and the food was excellent. The service was very friendly and the wine pairing was worth it. We were two couples and each shared a pairing which was plenty. It was a Tuesday night so the restaurant was quite empty but I'm sure on a busy night the ambiance would be better. I would recommend for a very unique Indian dining experience or special occasion.

Fantastic experience… best in town so far and we have been all over… was a very nice date for me and my wife, definitely coming

For the review of the food and restaurant itself, my wife and I had the 8 course meal. The food was honestly amazing. Everything was delicious and the time that was put into the food was well noticed. 100$ for an 8 course meal of such high quality food is worth every penny. NOW, the one bad experience I had was with the host (not the chefs, or the boys that brought the food to table and explained the plates to us all these guys were great). The host was a tall white guy and unfortunately, we overheard him talking about me and my wife to a staff he was training. We were the only two people in the restaurant at the time, so it was very easy to hear him speaking about us to another staff. You just don't do this at a restaurant that wants to be high cuisine. It was also my birthday so that kinda affected our whole evening because it kinda grinded my gears. Everything outside of that experience with the host was a 5 star experience. Again had it not been for that ONE staff member, the whole experience is easily 5 star and something I would recommend to others.
