Vegetarian Restaurant. Limited Parking…read moreGood Food Average pricing Perhaps short staffed on the night I dined? There seemed to be only one young lady waiting tables for the entire dining room. The kitchen staff brought out the food, but pointed to that one young lady to bring silverware, a cup of ice, or even answer a question about the menu. I had to raise my hand to get her attention if I wanted anything. She did ask how my food was after it was tabled. The dining room has booths and tables for solo eaters, as well as groups and families. I'm glad to have tried this restaurant but with so many other Indian restaurants to try , not sure when I'll be back.

What a beautiful restaurant! The interior looks so pretty and fancy. It was baffling that there was…read moreno one there when my friend and I went there on a Saturday. We were hungry so we ordered quite a bit: Pani Puri shots, Mumbai crossroads, Biryani, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Garlic Naan. I'm pretty basic so I ordered the Tikka Masala and I loved it! We loved every dish and I liked that the portions were generous enough. We were the only ones there when we got seated so we got our food pretty quickly. I'd love to go back and try their other dishes!

We sat for about 10 minutes and had Cliff pour us water and walked away. He then stood in the corner where we were seated and ate what looked like a mango. We waited till he was done and waved him down to take our drink orders. We got our drinks and then he disappeared. We observed other servers taking care of their tables and being present but our server was not to be found. Cliff then appeared back with what looked like tea and stood and drank his tea. We again waited and this experience felt like a prank where there is a hidden camera, waiting for our next move. We were really ready to get up and leave. Slowest service ever. Finally cliff came and we ordered food. Food came out with 15min of ordering. Cod took a little longer. Cod and lamb chops were the best meal of the day. Cod was cooked in such a good gravy and very tasty and so was the lamb. We ordered a variety of naan which was a little chewy. Dessert was the sticky pudding which was very nice. Overall this place is pricey and tip is included so you can't except great service. I would go back here for drinks. But our experience today was awful. Maybe a more engaged server would have changed our experience for the better.

You order at the counter, pick up your food when it's ready, and bus your own table. Everything is made fresh to order, which I really appreciate. Since the chef is Bengali, we had to try the luchi puri with dum aloo -- three pieces of perfectly puffed puri with a generous serving of dum aloo. We also got the palak puri with aloo subzi and that was fantastic as well. But the star of the lunch was the gobi Manchurian. Oh my word -- hands down the best I've ever had. Super crispy, coated in just the right amount of sauce so it stayed dry and crunchy, exactly how we like it. The adrak chai was excellent too. Service was quick, and the menu has so many things we still want to try. We'll definitely be back!

The star of the appetizers was the "Wonder Box" which is a fun trio of ingredients you assemble. From there I had the cashew saffron curry with rice and Nan and I ate it all! Our server was very attentive and the ambiance made the meal feel special. The only downside side was that we had 5 people at a 4 topper table and it was crowded.

Swung by around 9PM for what folks say are the best jalebi in the Seattle area. The restaurant was…read morestill pretty bumping, but there were plenty of folks including us who were just there for dessert. I'd say overall, the menu was a little pricey, but they've got some pretty unique offerings. Parking is pretty easy as it's a shared lot with crossroads. Malaiyo is effectively just textbook light, whipped cream with a ton of saffron. They definitely don't skimp on the saffron, so if you enjoy that floral, slightly herbal flavor, this will be the dessert for you. Jalebi Rabri came out piping hot and it's got a crunch that once you bite through, the sugar syrup just gushes out. It's definitely tasty, but it was SO sweet. I'd probably put in an order and share this with a group as more than one in a sitting might be a bit tough. Banarasi Lassi was just a little tart, creamy, and had a little bit of saffron swirled through. It had just a touch of the floral saffron flavor and the sliced almonds on top were a nice touch. It's definitely on the thicker side, so more of a spoon situation than a drink.

We ordered banarasi chutney paneer tikka and the smokey soya chaamp. Soya was def the star dish of the night.. super flavorful, smoky, and genuinely the only thing I'd come back for. As for mains,my friends and I shared gorakhpuri kofta which was tasty and shadi wala matar paneer which was average. I didn't like tamatar ki chaat. The food was decent and chaas was really good but nothing was so good that I'd be thinking about it the next day. If you go, get the smokey soya chaamp and keep expectations chill for everything else.

Chay Concept: Vietnamese Cuisine Reimagined…read more Chay Concept is a revelation. This is high-end Vietnamese, but not what you're expecting. If you're craving pho, look elsewhere--this is high-concept cuisine with flawless execution. The kind of place that challenges what you think Vietnamese food can be. Here's what makes it remarkable: it's entirely vegetarian with vegan options available. And somehow, that constraint becomes the canvas for extraordinary creativity. Both the food and drinks showcase genuine artistry--calling it a masterpiece isn't hyperbole. Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, or neither, this place deserves your attention. The inventiveness and technical skill on display transcend dietary categories. They've earned a customer for life. I'd suggest everyone experience what they're doing here at least once. You won't forget it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We ordered the Lucknowi Katori Chaat, Aloo Kulcha served with chole, Lucknowi Butter Chicken, Roomali Roti, Tandoori Naan, Mango Shikanji, and Shahi Lassi. Everything was absolutely flavorful and satisfying. The Shahi Mango Lassi was just okay for us, but the rest of the items were outstanding. What truly impressed me was that after we finished our meal, they served us a finger bowl. That's something very common in India but not so common here, and I absolutely loved that thoughtful touch. The name truly reflects their celebration-worthy food and service. Highly recommend for a cozy and delicious dining experience!

Our bread order came out in parts. 1 person was eating first while others were waiting for bread to come out. Overall, okay place if you are in the area and want to try some Indian food.

The second time all the chicken pieces were basically bone. I wanted chicken, not the chicken's skeleton! Then, the little meat that was on the bone was extremely tough and dry. The only reason for 2 starts and not 1 is because the flavor of the curry was actually pretty good, but as noted in other reviews, not as spicy as one would hope. Again, I have no idea how this place survives in an area so densely populated with Indians. My recommendation is, go to Maurya or Madras Dosa Corner for good Hyderabadi food.
