Stopped by with a party of 7 on a Thursday and it was not busy at all…read more The service was very relaxed, and while they were nice, it was nothing worth noting. We ordered a few different plates, but my boyfriend and I tried the garlic naan, butter masala w chicken, and aloo gobi. The food was good, but not amazing. I really enjoy the aloo gobi at another restaurant in Issaquah but I was not a huge fan of it here, same with the butter chicken. They were both just okay and definitely edible, they just didn't stand out to me. The garlic naan was yummy though! We also tried the mango lemonade but had to water it down a bit as it was super sweet. It's in a cute area with lots of parking in garages nearby!

There are quite a few Indian restaurants in Bothell so it's taking time to try them all. But Aroma…read morehas been my go to place for the past 3 out 4 times. It's not a huge place, but the decor is modern and clean and doesn't feel like a cafeteria or diner. Prices are reasonable and the menu is extensive. As a huge biryani fan, I had a chance to try two different versions and they were both great. I would say that the spice level is a bit higher, but the food is very flavorful, ingredients are fresh and the server was great and offered me extra raita to make sure I was ok :). Portions were generous and the leftovers could easily make a second lunch. They also have great lunch specials such as a rice bowl for $10 as well as a thali for $14 (2 types - chicken and vegetarian). Definitely worth a try when in the Bothell area.

We went on Monday evening as wanted to try new restaurants open in Bothell . It's not a new one…read moreinstead it's rebranded from previously named namaste India . They had lots of offers from Monday to Thursday and which I would like to try each in these offer. Monday kid eat free if you order entree and kids can select from kids menu. Flew ordered egg chettinad with Malabar pratha. Both were nice and flavorful esp recommended to try Malabar paratha it's nice crisps and flawkly layers . One of the best Malabar paratha I have eaten. New ambience looks nice n won't say ambience is great but it's a decent upgrade . Service was quick and server was nice to accommodate last minute needs. Next time I am looking to try the dosa offer which is in Thrsuday

Food- good. I've tried their dosa a couple times and it's good and I'd be back for it…read more Prices- they're not bad for the quality and quantity you get. Service- I had a lady (assuming the owner), she was a bit pushy in having us order more. Other than that nobody bothered us during our meal. I did however notice how most of their attention was towards their regulars (giving them a benefit of doubt) which happened to be anyone that wasn't Indian/brown. We had zero check ins during our meal but there was a couple right next to us and almost every server there, and another family that had all their attention. Place- it can get a bit crowded and feel like the tables are set a little too close together. Overall, come for food.

Ambiance & hygiene: 2/5 Tables were visibly dirty. The…read morerestroom was not clean either and had an unpleasant odor. Service: 2.5/5 The dosas we ordered came out in a reasonable time, but our starter never came out. We ended up asking for the check and requesting the starter to be removed from the bill. The server was kind, but he clearly looked overworked. Food: 2/5 The masala dosas were mediocre and the chutneys were very watery. The amount of potato masala within the dosa was really disappointing; most of the dosa (even the center) was empty. Overall: there are much better options around the Eastside for South Indian food. I would not recommend going here.

I've ordered take out multiple times from the bothell location. This review is based on takeouts…read more PROS: - good location, plenty of parking - online ordering setup is easy - nice staff! food is always ready on time - good variety of South Indian dishes and biriyani. Their cuisine is very specific. - goat biriyani and goat curry are delicious. I also liked their meat to rice ratio for the chicken biriyani. CONS: - outrageous prices for the amount of food. I ordered goat curry and the size of the container was way small. Giving me an entry sized dish in a side dish container is an immediate issue for me. I paid over 80 worth of food and feel lit was not worth it. The goat curry had a lot of large bones too so that made it worse. I got more bones than meat. - overtly spiced and too salty. I liked their goat dum biriyani but did not like the rest. The biriyani appears to be over spiced that's not completely simmered, cooked down or blended. You're essentially eating straight up spice which is pretty gross. This is a personal preference, I like my dishes spicy but I don't like it overwhelmingly spicy where it overtakes the dish and all you're tasting is uncooked blend of spices that heat up your stomach & hurts digestion. Others may like their dishes as is. I'm not in that boat. - I paid $8 for goat haleem that was given in a tiny sauce container. that was so not worth the money or the dish. Their prices are completely off. I don't recommend this place, my search for decent biriyani from regional places continues. I just went authentic biriyani that tastes good, is reasonably priced, with good meat to rice ratio. It's 2026 people, shouldn't be this hard!

I saw them on IG and decided to try Biryani Bistro for dinner. They recently opened…read more We got Mysore Bonda, Chicken 65 Biryani, Raagi Mudda w/ Mutton Curry and Chickoo Chake. Mysore Bonda was okay, bigger than usual which means there were a couple spots inside where the batter was under fried. The peanut chutney with it was very good. We liked the Chicken 65 Biryani, the rice was flavorful, the Chicken 65 wasn't the usual but tasted good. The standout item for us was the Raagi Mudda w/ Mutton curry. It wasn't the typical Karnataka style Raagi Mudda, we were told it was Andra style, we loved it. We also got Boondi Laddoo, and mixture to go. We loved the Boondi Laddoo, the mixture was okay.

If you don't love Indian food, maybe you just…read morehaven't tried the right spot yet, and should eat here! 5 Rivers is a part of our regular dinner rotation. It offers an extensive menu, and for what you pay, the portions are very generous! Our favorite dishes are the mango curry, lamb vindaloo, and the classics like butter chicken and tikka masala. We always order some form of appetizer. We have had the samosas as well as the hummus and tabouleh, and everything has been delectable! I always order their baba Ganoush. The smoky, roasted eggplant is savory and has great depth to the flavor profile. Our other favorite is the garlic naan. It is seasoned to perfection and roasted beautifully! Another thing I appreciate is they offer a spice level for your order. Spicy is a relative term, so I appreciate having a range to work with. 5 Rivers recently renovated their dining area, and it is very beautiful and clean. Service is always friendly, too. Overall we are very happy to have found such a gem nearby!

Yogurt in dahi bhalla was too sweet, and flavor was meh for both the items. Chhole and tikki was OK but I have had better. Plz use more fresh and raw -onions, grated ginger, hint of fresh green chilli, fresh coriander, pinch of chat masala on top, sprinkle some pomegranate seeds, and voila Service- would appreciate if called the order number or display, we kept wondering for 15 mins before they got our plates. Clean place though. May come back to try other things.

We tried the weekend specials - chicken fry appetizer , chicken pulao, and lime soda. The appetizer was nice and a bit on the spicier side (to our liking). The chicken pulao was comforting and well-cooked. The lime soda was refreshing and went really well with the meal. The only downside was the service- the server arrived a bit late and seemed busy chatting, which made things feel a little inattentive. I do wish they paid more attention to customers. That said, the food was good overall.

The difference is day & night. 0/5 stars considering they charge $20 for this poorly made dish that even I can cook better at home.
