Nepean families have been making the short drive to Desi Tadka in Bells Corners for years, and it's easy to see why. Just 10 minutes from most of Nepean, Robertson Road is where Ottawa's most authentic North Indian cooking happens every day. Our recipes came with us from a family kitchen in Amritsar, and every dish is made fresh from scratch — no frozen ingredients, no shortcuts. Nepean has a large South Asian community that knows what real North Indian food tastes like, and we haven't let anyone down since we opened in 2019. Come for dinner, sign up for weekly tiffin, or book us for your next event.
Too busy to cook every night? Our tiffin service is made for Nepean families. Fresh dal, sabzi, roti, rice, salad and achar — ready for pickup at Bells Corners every day we're open. Veg $14.99 | Non-Veg $16.99 +HST. Pick up on your way home. No subscription required — order as many days as you need.
