    One of my top 5 meals ever in ANY restaurant. I cannot emphasize the quality and service at this establishment. We had the 7 course tasting menu and it is absolutely worth every penny (Ya... I'm a Boomer LoL!). From the timing, which was impeccable, to the descriptions we were given for each course, this place shines far above and beyond most restaurants (of ANY kind) I've been to.

    Great experience overall, once again! We came here last year around this time (we live in Boston but come here to visit relatives) and during our visit we opted to come here again. Everything was again very good. The naan is superb, the KFC (kerala fried chicken) is kitschy but very tasty! Everything across the board was delicious except for the sauce that came with the scallops (which wasn't bad but it seemed odd, no one knew what to make of it and the person eating that dish avoided the sauce). Service was a little slower this time, but that's like most places these days that are suffering from not having enough staff. Ambiance is very pretty, understated, and nice - still a bit noisy so I'd still like to see more sound absorbers. The ones they have are great, you don't notice them, but they might be too high up to make a big difference. We'll definitely be back again!

    We’ve had the pleasure of eating at Coconut Lagoon many times over the years and we’ve never been disappointed. Service is always good! We had the best meal ever last night and were happily surprised to see several new items on the menu. All was delicious but best was the beef short ribs!

    Not our first time here, and it was as exceptional as the last time. Amazing food, calm, professional service. Not noisy, just pleasant and delightful.

    Food was great. Cocktails were decent but overpriced. The food selection has improved greatly since I was there last (before the fire). I had the duck which is something I've never seen at other Indian/South Asian restaurants in Ottawa. I'm glad they are being creative.

    The Coconut Lagoon has been in Ottawa for decades, and it's easy to see why. The food, service, and ambiance are outstanding. The chef's skills are worthy of a Michelin star, in my opinion. An authentic and delicious dining experience, HIGHLY recommend!
