I walked over from a local hotel and on arrival I saw the place was 3/4 full, good sign. I was seated at the bar but don’t recommend this as it’s not staffed full time. Took awhile to get service. I had chicken tikka masala and palak paneer with garlic naan bread. Ordered medium spice. The food was excellent. The garlic naan was perfect, not too thick. I was disappointed in the spice as it was very mild. Nice atmosphere.

Had a great meal while in Seattle. Originally from Houston so we have so very very good Indian restaurants and this was on the same level. Food was great and, the wait staff were excellent. They had us order the right amount and not over order. Gave us some free dessert and appetizers even though they didn’t make any mistakes. Would definitely come back when in Seattle.

I went for lunch with my friend. We both orders curry. Mine was tikka masala and she got mango curry. Both were highly lacking in flavor. I’ve eaten curry at countless places and I wouldn’t go back here. I’ve honestly eaten much tastier curry from a jar.

The soup was wonderful (flavorful and spicy), but the naan bread came to me burnt and not only that, it was also hazardous to my teeth! Some kind of grit ended up in my naan from the grill, burnt grit and twice I’ve bit into it very hard and my teeth began to ache like it fractured my teeth. Although I couldn’t see any damage to the visible eye, this happened twice; same bread. I don’t know what’s on the grill but they need to clean it and I hope my teeth are OK.

The food tastes great, but I think I got food poisoning….

Well done from top to bottom! The Rogan Josh was flavorful and aromatic, the naan was warm and fluffy, and even the rice seemed to be JUST RIGHT.The chicken in the rogan josh was tender and juicy without the chewy and filmy taste you sometimes get with overcooked chicken.I am not sure if I am just blissed out from being fed after being so hungry, but this may have easily been the best Indian food I have had which is no small bar to clear.The only critique I have is that the HEAT spice level was a little lower than I am used to, my 3* tasted more like a 2*, so order accordingly for your self! The FLAVOR spice level was exceedingly delightful!The staff was incredibly accommodating, the trainee was full of gusto, the trainer handled the door+floor with skill, and the manager expedited and did water runs to make sure the guests were well looked after while the new server trained.Pleasantly surprised at just how good everything was, even on a Monday lunch break.

AMAZING. Me and my family loved it. We have someone in our family who usually doesn't eat curry but when I tell you they fell in love they fell in love. Very yummy. Portions were good. It was amazing. The wait time was just a little too long. Worth it though.

I was looking for a place to get a drink before the comedy show at the Paramount Theatre started, and spotted this place tucked in a corner.The Iced Chai Cocktail was killer. Super creamy, great price. And the owner was super friendly. Definitely my new pre-funk spot

Terrible food !No need to read anything further- just don’t waste you time going here.The portion size is huge but no taste at all. I couldn’t eat more than one bite.Chicken chilly was the worst 0/5Tandoori chicken is 2/5Vegetable pakora - 3/5Masala chai 4/5
