Great Indian Food 15 Minutes from Richmond

Richmond is a tight-knit community that appreciates great food — and Desi Tadka in Stittsville is right around the corner on Richmond Road. Just 15 minutes from the village, our Express location serves the same authentic North Indian food that Ottawa has loved since 2019. Everything is made fresh daily from family recipes that trace back to Amritsar, Punjab — butter chicken with a rich tomato-cream sauce, slow-cooked dal makhani, hand-stretched naan, and Ottawa's best Amritsari Kulcha. Richmond residents have become some of our most loyal regulars, and we love seeing familiar faces walk through the door.

"Richmond to Stittsville is literally 15 minutes and the food is absolutely worth it. Desi Tadka makes the best butter chicken and dal makhani I've had in all of Ottawa. We go every week."

"I was skeptical about driving for Indian food but Desi Tadka in Stittsville converted me completely. The kulcha is extraordinary. We now order ahead and pick up on our way home."

"The tiffin service is fantastic. I pick it up from Stittsville on the way home — fresh, hearty food for the whole family without cooking. The saag and roti combo is our favourite."
