I have been to the East India food company at least a half dozen times. It never disappoints. I have only eaten the buffet. The drink selection is good, the quality of the food is good and consistent. It is not the best Indian food in town, but it is the best Indian Buffet. With a great chutney bar, salad bar, hot entre selection and dessert station, I suggest you go on an empty stomach and wear a pair of loose fitting pants. If seafood is your thing like me, than visit the buffet on Friday, that's when they feature a few seafood items in the buffet.
if there was a half star, I would give it 3.5. I should also mention the decor is awesome, beautifully decorated with traditional Indian art. -

Ordered delivery from here twice. First time I ordered a chicken dish, I think it was made with mushroom soup, it was tomatoey and creamy with mushrooms in it. Pretty gross, definitely not authentic. The samosas are mini and they were quite good and the dessert (galab jamun?) was really sweet and good too.
I give a lot of things second chances so, the second time it took almost 2 hours for the food to get here, I called twice and asked where it was and each time they told me it was on its way, the driver was talking on the phone and didnt say anything to me. I ordered chicken 65 and rice, my boyfriend loved it, it was dry chicken pieces with jalepenos. Thats really it. I've never saw another Indian dish like it so I'm assuming its not authentic either. Just not good. -

Love this place. Big fan of Indian food based on the fact that spicy is my thing. I love spicy food.
East India Company takes care of that spicy craving. The lunch buffet is a deal. For I believe $12, the lunch buffet offers a large variety of food. Many of their dishes are served spicy but very flavorful!
The design concept/upkeep is a 5/5. I used to drive by it all the time and always thought it was some kind of hotel because it's spiffy looking on the outside, as well as on the inside. The interior is very Indian themed and adds to the authentic vibe.
Downside is they don't serve naan at the buffet. Sad.
Will be coming back for more, soon. -

What a huge disapponitment!
six of us decided to check this place out, and neither of us were happy with our food.the buffet for some reason, is cold...also, none of the dishes taste half as good as they look! the palak paneer is bland, the vegetable masala has no masals in it, and the kidney bean salad has no taste or concept? also...who doesn't include naan/roti/bread with their buffet??
$19.95/person and with bread added came to $50 with tax for 2! save your money, go eat at Havelis where 4 can eat in that price and the food actually tastes like good Indian food. -

First time I tried East India Company when I was in Winnipeg. I used to eat there once or twice a week.
East India Company in Ottawa is not as good as their Winnipeg location (owner himself runs the Winnipeg restaurant); however their food is good. Restaurant is nice and clean (rare for restaurants of this origin), food selection is awesome and staff is friendly. It's an above average Indian Restaurant.
