Authentic Indian Food in Ottawa: Our Story Since 1995

November 28, 2025 5 min readBy Shaan Curry House

For nearly three decades, Shaan Curry House has served Ottawa families the flavours of home. Here is how our journey began on Merivale Road.

When we opened the doors of Shaan Curry House in 1995, we had a simple goal: bring the warm, home-cooked flavours of India to the heart of Ottawa. Nearly three decades later, that promise still guides every dish we serve on Merivale Road.

A Family Kitchen, Not a Factory

Every curry, every naan and every samosa is prepared the traditional way, using whole spices we grind in-house and recipes passed down through generations. We believe good food takes time, and we have never cut corners to rush a plate to the table.

Trusted By Ottawa Families

Over the years we have watched children who came in with their parents grow up and bring their own families. That trust is the greatest reward of all. Whether you are craving a comforting bowl of dal, a fiery chicken curry or a plate of crispy pakoras, we cook it with the same care we would for our own table.

Something For Everyone

Ottawa is a diverse city, and our menu reflects that. We proudly offer Vegetarian, Vegan, Halal and Non-Vegetarian options so that no one is ever left out of the meal. Come visit us and taste the difference that 30 years of passion makes.
