    I have heard raving reviews about Aahaar from many of my friends and colleagues. It was a long due for us to try this place. Finally it happened when we went to the Snoqualmie falls with the extended family. We stopped by for lunch on a sunny day. There were street side parking but we parked behind the restaurant which was more convenient. This place was moderately busy by the time we walked in. Received by some smiling faces. They combined couple of tables to accommodate all of us. I have been told that this place offers authentic Kerala food. But the menu said a different story. There are a few Kerala dishes, but majority are South Indian food. We ordered Tikka Wings as appetizer. Ordered Bisibelebath, Chicken Biriyani, Parotta and Cashew Chicken curry. Staffs were very friendly and engaging. Average wait time for the food was around 10 minutes. Really liked the Tikka Wings - the sauce on that wings stood out. Very flavorful and a little spicy. Bisibelebath was quite Ok. Expected the Kerala flavor but the Chicken Biriyani really lacked it. Cashew Chicken curry was delicious. Good combination with Parotta. Served white rice also on the side. Ordered Mango Lassi and Gulab Jamun for dessert. Both were really good. Mixed opinion about the food. Definitely not the Kerala food. Great reviews I heard in the past contributed to the disappointment. Having said that, nothing was terrible. Still a decent option!

    Aahaar is a family favorite place! I have gone with my family many times and our fav dish by far is the Kerala Fried Fish. It is so amazing tasty and addictive. Perfect place to dine in on a Sunday. Service is always kind and welcoming. Their seating inside I feel can fill up fast during busy dining hours.

    Its an amazing restaurant and never disappoints. They serve complimentary rasam which is my favourite dish at the restaurant. Apart from this I love the kara kara masala dosa and egg curry! They also have some amazing starters that I recommend trying. Ambiance wise its a small sitting space that usually is crowded, and the servers would keep clearing your table of the extra utensils on the table. Overall recommend trying it!

    Complimentary rasam

    The food was wonderful. They gave us a small cup of complimentary rasam. I had the vegetarian samosa and Chicken Tikka Masala. The dishes had plenty of spices. I can't give it a five stars though because The music was odd. They played loud chanting music which gave an eerie vibe. I couldn't understand it, but my gut tells me that it was religious which dampened my mood since that chanting is not my religion. They also charged me for two plates instead of one. So, carefully review your receipt before you pay.

    The interiors resemble a small eatery with tables on either sides. But, don't go by size as the flavors will transport back to the streets of southern India. The Sambar to the freshness of the chutney to the sweetness of the badam halwa were amazing. The service was fast as well. I have been there multiple times, but after my recent visit, the quality has gone a tad bit down. Hoping they bounce back soon.

    If you are craving for indian food and in and around snoqualmie area, this is the place to go. The food is good. Service can be better and the ambiance is pretty good. It has predominantly south indian dishes.

    It was decent curry. The day we stopped by it was very packed with customers of all ages. This place is hopping. The service was good. The curry was like other curry shops. If you feel like curry and are in the area, give it a try.

    Nice restaurant tucked in the Snoqualmie town. Great mix of South Indian cuisine with some other good curries. We ordered karra dosa, cheese masala dosa, aahar rolls and chicken chetinaad, which were all great. Somehow seemed like staff was in a hurry to empty the tables, which was a little uncomfortable but understandable to an extent. They do get very busy, so plan ahead of time! Definitely recommend.

    This is a great place to eat and for the price. My favorite is the Cilantro chicken. OMG so good!…read more Check the hours before you go. Always taste so fresh and not like it has been sitting around. We get it go. Tight space to eat in for me. Tried the crispy chicken this time, 10/10 gotta try

    Updated from 4 to 3 stars, sadly as the (yelp) duchess it must be done…read more This place really is lovely, which honestly makes this review harder to write. The flavors are thoughtful, the food is clearly made with care, and I REALLY want this to be my go-to spot. That said, a few small but persistent things have nudged me from happy regular to mildly, consistently infuriated customer: 1 The hours. I know, I know. They are what they are. But when a craving hits at 2:30pm and ordering doesn't open until exactly 5:00pm, it's a long emotional journey. Add in not being able to place an order even a few minutes early, and it's just... a lot for a hungry person with commitment issues. 2 Spice level roulette. This is my biggest hurdle. I love flavor. I just don't love heat. I always order "0 spice" and very politely ask for no spice. Truly, sincerely, humbly no spice. I've even gone so far as to say "white woman spicy" to be crystal clear. Unfortunately, that hasn't been consistent. We've tried branching out from butter chicken, and most dishes end up being a few bites before we tap out. This last visit, even the butter chicken came out spicier than expected, which makes the menu feel more limited than it should be. A specific example. Let's talk about the cilantro chicken. Based on the description, especially "tomato gravy," I genuinely expected something more curry-forward and saucy, maybe herbaceous and comforting. Instead, it packed more heat than anticipated, and even with a mango lassi, I couldn't get past a few bites. When you can really only eat three items, it starts to feel limiting. My reliable go-tos are: * Butter chicken with rice * Garlic naan (butter naan is also great) * Mango lassi As an adventurous eater, I want to explore the menu more, but the spice inconsistency makes that tough. 4 A small, hopeful suggestion. Since the butter chicken is clearly a crowd favorite, a family-size option would be amazing. Ordering multiple single containers works, but carrying 3-4 at once feels like a test of grip strength and faith. A genuine bright spot. I do love that they always walk me out to my car. It's such a small thing, but it really stands out and is a big bonus in my book. Overall, this is still a good place with a lot going for it. These aren't deal-breakers so much as paper cuts that add up over time. I'm rooting for consistency here, because I'd love nothing more than to bump this back up to 4 stars and keep ordering without hesitation.

    We decided to try Masthi for date night. Parking was nearby and had lots of space. When we entered,…read morethe restaurant was expertly decorated with an exotic botanical feel. It really was beautiful in all areas and the music was authentic and the perfect volume. We ordered the tandoori chicken and it arrived at the table sizzling on the iron plate. It was the best we'd ever had, full of spices and fall off the bone tender. The server was great with tips and I liked that we could adjust the spiciness. Next was the lamb keema biryani. Again, excellent flavor and we loved the sauces served with it. The raita was just right. The garlic naan was fresh and hot. For dessert, we ordered the mango lassi, chai tea, and shared the rasmalai dessert. All excellent quality with perfect texture, temperature, snd sweetness. We were very impressed. The only reason I gave only four stars instead of an enthusiastic five, is because when we entered we were excited to sit down in the beautiful dining room to enjoy our first meal there. Instead we just kept going and were led further and further back until we reached the sports bar area and were seated with no one else around for the whole meal. There was seating available in the main dining room. It felt very isolated and detracted from our overall experience. We'll be back but next time we'll request to be seated with the general population. That aside, I highly recommend!

The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, and I noticed a lot of people were ordering takeout online while we were there. Food Portion sizes were fair for the price, and they offer many vegetarian and vegan options. Highly recommend getting the garlic naan with any dish. Foods tried: Garlic naan - Hot and fresh, slightly crispy with a nice savory flavor. Samosa appetizers - Comes with two, but they are pretty large and very filling. Chicken tikka masala - Served in a deceptively large portion and very savory. Lamb biryani - Kind of like their version of fried rice, served with a mild yogurt sauce on the side. Service Servers were friendly. The only downside was that the food took a little while to come out, but the wait was worth it. Overall I've been here twice already and will definitely be back again.

The portions have gotten smaller while the prices have gone up, the lamb is very tough and fatty and no longer tender, and the spice level is not what it used to be.

I love the chicken 65 but it is now less than half of what I used to receive. The server was nice but walked away mid order to answer the phone, it just felt off. The restaurant is clean. In today's economy there's just not enough value for me and I won't be visiting much anymore.
