If you are looking for a hidden gem, look no further. Dishes of India is a family owned restaurant that takes pride in its authentic Indian cuisine with spices filled in each dish. The restaurant, located within a shopping center and downstairs makes this experience all the more intriguing. We ordered familiar dishes that I have recreated myself as a vegan and their spices are so welcoming and warm. The environment is welcoming and their staff is kind, attentive and hospitable. The dishes we highly recommend are: Samosa, Salmon tandoori, Veg biryani, Aloo Gobhi, Channa Masala, and an Assorted bread basket. Everything was spot on with flavors, presentation and spice… highly recommended as a family friendly restaurant who is looking for a delicious Indian experience.

Generous samosas with condiments. Fresh naan, 4 types. The baby egg plant curry was flavorful and not too hot.

Very nice experience. Waiters were dressed to impress and were very professional. Dining area and restrooms were imaculate. Nicely decorated. Food was pretty good. I was anticipating and would've loved if food was just little spicy. The heat level was definitely a 0 which can be a plus to some people. My first time having the Chaat Paapri and it was deeeelish! Perfect amount of spice in that dish. I also loved the intentionality in the manner our take home food was packaged.

It is a nice quite restaurant, very clean. No more buffet at this place anymore.

Good place to get the fix, but not the best. Could be improved. If you are not going to serve buffet, then come up with new ideas to widen your bowl menu, add thaali, so patrons can sample different food items. Time to upgrade your menu as well. Owners and staff is really polite and try to meet your requests. That said, it's a good safe place in the Bellevue neighborhood.

There food is excellent- we enjoyed the appetizer platter and butter chicken. This nice man who worked there carried my order up the steep stairs for me because he saw it was hard for me to do stairs. Highly recommend!

Such a wonderful little place. The food was delicious, I got lamb vindaloo and it did not disappoint. We were out looking for somewhere new to try and im glad we found Dishes of india. The waiter was attentive and helpful.

Great selection of food. My favorite has been the lunch day menu so that I can try new Indian dishes for under $15! Being on the lower level with no handicap access is unfortunate. The staff was curious and made sure that we had water at all times. As a person who is new into trying Indian food, I recommend this place as it has multiple platter menu items to try different foods at once instead of buying an entire plate.

Fantastic Indian food. Don't miss it.

No flavor ... Like NONE! So disappointed, we went here a year ago and thought maybe it was just an off night but tried it again today and there is NO flavor. I can't even say "Americanized" Indian as this was the least flavorful Indian that I have ever had. I won't say it tastes "bad" as it seems fresh but it just completely lacks flavor. I will also say that portions sizes are large. I won't be returning, it did not satisfy my Indian craving.
