I used to come here often enough. Today we had a Christmas dinner that we made reservations for a week in advance. We got there on time, and before we could really finish our meal, the servers kept taking away our dishes, brought our bills and rushed us out. Yes, they were busy, but we spent about an hour there with a party of 5, and were hoping to do more than rush down our food. Seeing that we were having our Christmas dinner get together, we would have liked not to have been rushed out simply because another group was waiting. I will not be returning here, as there are other delicious places with much better customer service. Such a disappointment, especially after referring many friends to this place.

Food is super tasty! Portion is great! Service is phenomenal! Atmosphere is lovely! Price is a bit on the expensive range but the experience is so worth it!! I really enjoyed my time here.
The best place to eat dine buffet, awesome Kerala delights(South Indian). I would definitely recommend this place.
Bland. NOT great Indian food. Tiny servings. Massive prices. 24 for small bowl of shrimp curry?! No garnish. On any dish. Very average flavour. Crab cakes are made of canned crab. Pretty uninspired overall, and crab cakes were also soggy - no crisp edges or much flavour at all. In any dish. I think people who don’t get out much rate this place high, and any 3star review is from a client with Tastebuds. 5 star review could only be from someone who knows nothing about Indian cuisine. 12 for only two 5cm crab cakes. Yikes. Save your money and go to Amaya for a 8 fast food lunch. Better flavours and much more accessible. I don’t know what the fuss is about. Decor: The seating is covered with brown paper - like a gritty pub. Half of the walls are bare. If overall rating is flavour/ambience/value/service and food, food, food, this is definitely max 3 stars. Nothing special.
Very tasty. Excellent flavours, and really friendly staff. Hope to return soon.
Mother's Day in quarantine. I pre-ordered this dinner a few days before Mother's Day and the restaurant went out of their way to reach out and offer suggestions for a more diverse meal. We spoke 3 times via email and twice over the phone (just from the restaurant reaching out) because they wanted to ensure our meal was the best it could be. We love this restaurant, and being able to enjoy our favorite dishes on a special day gave us something to look forward too. Thank you to the staff and kitchen crew for all of your handwork and commitment; Ottawa is grateful for your services.
With its many rave reviews in news outlets and social media, Coconut Lagoon has long been on my list of must-try restaurants in the city. However, I found myself underwhelmed after my first visit. While the food was decent (we ordered Naddan Kohzi Curry and Butter Chicken), the flavours seemed almost identical to those found at other Indian restaurants. I will concede that perhaps I don't understand the nuances of Indian food; however, that, coupled with the relatively small quantities and steep prices, makes it hard to justify going back again. The things they do differently, like serving Porathas over naan bread, are interesting but aren't enough to entice me to return (I prefer my porathas more buttery). The one dish we were impressed by was the Tandoori Lamb Chops (regrettably, I forgot to take a picture). Although they were delicious - well-seasoned, juicy, and tender - it doesn't seem worth the price (14 for literally 2 RIBS of lamb or 7 per rib). Located in Vanier, the restaurant is modest in size but more modern in design than its counterparts. While the ambience was that of a fine-dining restaurant, our interactions with the waiters left something to be desired. The waiter who took our orders seemed impersonal and distracted, seeming to barely care. That is, until he began to pressure us to order more - first, an appetizer, then, drinks. While this interaction didn't make a big impact on our experience, it certainly didn't add to it. All things considered, I think Coconut Lagoon will be a one-time thing for me.
I really enjoyed my dinner here - we had the rice meal which came with many vegetable curries. While it's definitely on the pricier side, the quality of the food was good and the service was attentive. Definitely want to come back to try the lunch buffet!
