Aiana is proud to be among the only Living Wage certified restaurants in the Ottawa area. We believe the onus of reasonable and fair compensation should not rest on our patrons and gratuities – but rather on us as an employer.

Since Aiana first opened its doors, we have been committed to distancing ourselves from the culinary industry’s exploitative wage norms. Our standard ensures that guests can enjoy a gratuity-free dining experience provided by fairly-compensated team members.

Our owner, Devinder Chaudhary, spoke with Narcity and Newstalk 580 CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent about Aiana’s living wage commitment, Read all about it here.

With over 300 wines to choose from – each sourced from top producers and offering a thematic match to our menus – Aiana is pleased to announce that it has received the Best of Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator for the second time in a row.

The Wine Spectator awards recognize restaurants whose wine lists offer interesting selections and are appropriate to their cuisines. Our cellars have been recognized for their innate ability to satisfy serious wine lovers, and reflect a deep commitment to wine and service excellence.
