My husband and I went to taste of India on a rainy Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. The inside…read morewas warm and cozy, and our servers were prompt and attentive. The currys were piping hot and delicious. I've struggled to find great butter masala in Seattle, and taste of India's hit the mark! Not pictured, but their naans are huge. My husband and I each ordered naan, and the amount of rice, curry, and naan was the perfect amount for a full serving of leftovers. We were pleasantly surprised by the complimentary samosa appetizers and chocolate torte dessert. Ultimately this place is fantastic and we look forward to coming back- would love to come on a summer evening and sit outside on their patio.

so, this place is pretty clearly, and almost objectively so, made exclusively for westerners…read more what i mean by that is that this place serves Indian food that will not attempt to challenge western palettes in any way - rather its goal is to have people walking out with a mildly positive attitude towards the food. if someone were to ask them how the food was, they will say that it's fine and say that indian food is an underrated cuisine. the first indication of this that caught my eye was on the menu, where it was listed that "all spice levels are American standard". The fact that this is on the menu at an *Indian restaurant* is pretty ridiculous, in my opinion. I'll get to the spice levels later The second indication was when the waiter brought out our naan, and said "Here's your naan bread". I almost laughed out loud at this point. Naan bread? Thank god we didn't order chai or he would've said "Here's your chai tea". when we actually got our food, it was as disappointing as I expected Despite the fact that I ordered the 'Hot' spice level (the second highest), this had utterly no spice at all. I know that I have a high spice tolerance, but you know it's not good when other people at my table who have a low tolerance cannot taste any spice whatsoever. I've had hotter dishes ordering the 'Hot' level at American restaurants! In addition to there not being any spice, there was pretty much no flavor at all to the curries. There was just no point to the gravy on both the Jaipuri "Masala" and the Vegetable Kofta, as it both cases it was quite bland and essentially tasted like nothing. The paneer and the kofta were ok - but nothing more than average. Again, the lack of any kind of flavor is just crazy. Our table also got the Biryani, which had decent vegetables but also suffered from a lack of flavor The roti and garlic naan that we got were really hard and difficult to break apart. not very good at all If you're Indian - do not come here - you'll get far better Indian food either a) at home or b) at another place If you're not Indian - I would highly recommend trying another place to actually get a taste of what Indian food is really like. This watered-down version simply isn't it. I would recommend Saffron Grill in Northgate for an example of Indian food done correctly on the positive side, one thing i appreciated about this menu is the customization available for different curries this is especially helpful when it relates to giving options to vegetarians, as it doesn't restrict people who are vegetarian to specific curry options having paneer, vegetables, and tofu options available for each curry is pretty good i also thought the spinach naan was pretty good. out of all the bread we ordered, it was the only naan that managed to be soft, and easy to pull apart the spinach inside tasted pretty good as well the complimentary samosas (although clearly reheated from frozen) and sweet at the end was a decent touch the portion sizes were also decent - the amount of rice that came with the curry was pretty significant

Honestly this place is great for a small snack anyway. We got the bhel puri (not pictured) and a lamb kebab roll. It was my first time ever having bhel puri and I liked it! I enjoyed nibbling on the rice puffs but found that I needed a protein or else I would get flavor fatigue. We ended up placing a second order for the lamb kebab roll, which was AMAZING. Lamb is already my favorite protein so I knew I was going to like it, but I didn't expect it to be so good. It was very well seasoned and even a little juicy. I wouldn't say I have a small appetite, but I found this one roll to be a perfect portion for lunch. Service: (5/5) It's a very casual spot so you order at the counter and bus everything yourself. They're very nice, no other notes needed!

I ordered it mild and it was just perfect. There was plenty of chicken in the sauce, and I finished it all with just a hint of a feeling like I ate too much. The garlic Naan was also some of the best I've ever had. It has wonderful flavor, and yet was so light it almost melts in the mouth. The pricing is more than reasonable for what you get. Garlic Naan and Butter Chicken with a coke ran me about $36 bucks. The inside was very clean, quiet and inviting. I suspect they may do a lot of take out business though as it was almost deserted during the lunch hour. Speaking of lunch, my only wish list here would be that they had a lunch menu available. Eating this much food in the middle of the day makes it easier to feel like taking a nap than to go back to work.

We made the bread at home and had leftover food for a few days. The food quality though - was okayish, don't get me wrong - food was good, its just that it was quite oily - we could see oil floating in the dal makhani and allo baingan and kadhai paneer that we ordered. I appreciate the efforts in making the food taste good but with the amount of oil seen, I don't know for certain if I will want to order from here again. Again, food tasted good - my problem was with the amount of oil added.

Steve liked his dish as well (though I can't quite remember what it is)! We got some Garlic Naan to go along with our meal. It was huge! But we chowed it down and loved every moment of it! From the bar which I think is called the Yeti Bar we got some Saffron infused cocktails. The one I picked was the Madras. It wad very good and this type of vodka added a great, unique dimension to the cocktail. We loved it!

I was planning to take it with me while on my home (maybe an hour away given public transport) - however was hungry by the time order was ready. So asked politely if I can use one of the table to eat. The server/cashier said no right away. Which is fair - well within her rights but this place also appear to be a self service spot. I am not expecting to dine in here or use any utensils or cutlery. Just eat a burger. Anyways the burger itself was at best average. It wasn't bad - pretty edible but was smaller compared to other joints. There is a reason why Burger and Kebab hut despite having questionable hygienic standard is tough to beat for Indian Style Burgers. Talking about the ambience - the place is pretty nice.

The kind where the food is comforting, the people are kind, and everything feels just a little more peaceful. The butter chicken is warm and rich in all the right ways, the biryani is full of beautiful, layered spices, and the naan is soft, fresh, and perfect for sharing. You can tell each dish is made with care. The team here is thoughtful and welcoming, and they make sure you have everything you need without ever making you feel rushed. That kind of service stays with you. And being so close to the Seattle waterfront makes it even nicer. It's a lovely place to enjoy a meal and slow down for a moment. If you're looking for Indian food in Seattle--especially around Westlake--this is a place where you'll feel right at home. I'll be back, and I think you might want to be, too.
