Fish and Chips ( gluten free) Will never repeat the choice. Tasteless.

The Falafel here is the best in the city and the Green Olive Salad is great. They make their own pickled turnips and they are excellent, ask for extra turnips on your sandwich, it's what makes it great. They are also a great place when someone in your party has to eat gluten-free as they have Falafel platters that hit the spot.

The food was okay, but our experience was disappointing. It was a very busy evening at the restaurant, making it difficult to have a conversation due to the noise level. We had to speak very loudly just to hear each other. For dessert, we ordered five gluten-free cheesecakes (four for takeout and one to try at the restaurant) and one cinnamon bun with ice cream. After tasting the cheesecake and the cinnamon bun, we decided we didn’t like the cheesecake’s flavor and asked to change our takeout order of four gluten-free cheesecakes to four cinnamon buns with ice cream instead. We informed the waiter that we had tried one cheesecake and didn’t enjoy the taste, so we no longer wanted the four cheesecakes for takeout. However, the waiter insisted that we still had to pay for the cheesecakes because they had already been boxed. While they offered a 10% discount if we wished to purchase the cinnamon buns, we found this resolution unsatisfactory. Overall, we left feeling very disappointed with the experience.

The most lovely and delicious experience! Ordered catering for 10 and every. single. dish was exquisite and the portions were so plentiful! The folks here were so helpful with my order and made great recommendations. Communication and delivery was beyond my expectations. Very well organized, packaged and labelled (really accommodated my gluten allergy). I would give 6 stars if I could.

We tried Shinka Sushi Bar for the first time this weekend. At first, we were a bit confused by the location (it’s in an industrial area). The entrance door opens directly into the kitchen, and then we’re guided through another door and corridor that finally leads to the dining area. The setup is surprising, but it gives a cool “speakeasy” vibe. I have to highlight the ambiance—it’s beautiful, intimate, and warm. With only 23 seats, it made the experience even more enjoyable. We were greeted by a lovely server/bartender, and as soon as I mentioned my gluten intolerance, she reassured me, explaining that she’s celiac herself. This gave me peace of mind, knowing all our dishes would be safe for me, and they also have gluten-free soy sauce. Now, for the taste and quality of the food—wow, wow, and more wow. By far the best dishes we’ve ever had. Every bite had its own unique flavor; I only wish I could find the words to describe just how delicious everything was! I’m already excited to go back when I visit Ottawa again. This place is a true hidden gem.
