This place is pretty close to our house and I was surprised at how much I like this…read more Service is definitely not the best as the cashier ignored us for about 5-10 minutes before acknowledging us and took our order, but it's not bad. The place is quiet spacious and and bright. Foodwise: We got the cone dosa: 5/5 our kids love it. Was eating this with the dipping sauce like it was normal. This is the first time they had Indian food. Vada: love the texture , it was dense but also soft at the same time. Price was pretty reasonable and portion is good I do like the little curry that both of these dishes came with. Will definitely be ordering more from here ne to t time.

I'd never been here before, but after trying several other packed restaurants on a Friday night,…read morethis was the only place with no wait and lots of open tables. My go-to is a cheese masala dosa and while they didn't have it on the menu, the man who took my order was so kind and accommodating and made sure they could make it for me. Our food came out really quickly and smelled amazing. The dosa was absolutely incredible and I loved the sambar. It was also my best friend and her boyfriend's first time trying dosa and I was so glad that it was a good experience for them with delicious high quality dosa. The sambar was also phenomenal and I loved how hot the food stayed. For dessert I ordered gulab jaman for all my friends and I loved how sweet and fresh it tasted. We all loved it and I can't wait to go for dosa with my friends again.

We found this absolute gem of a food truck when picking up an OfferUp item in East Redmond…read more Upon rolling into the parking lot, we noticed that the truck is located next to Sai Baba Temple and Swagath Grocery Distribution Center. The truck was playing music and surrounded by several people waiting for their orders. All signs pointed to us happening across the holy grail of Indian food trucks. Prices are *incredibly* reasonable. When ordering I asked the man at the register to recommend a dessert, but he said they only have them on the weekends. We couldn't wait to eat our dinner and it was a nice day out, so we ate in the parking lot. We shared a veg kurma, ulavacharu biryani, and Mango Frooti. Was it elevated, hipster cuisine? No. Was it solid, down-home cooking that feels like you've lucked out and been invited to a dinner you may not usually get to enjoy? Yes. Expect a bit of a wait as this truck is obviously popular. We may have to make more trips out here just to try more of their offerings!

4.5/5 Stars We decided to drop by Shri Cafe on a Saturday…read morearound noon after doing some grocery shopping at the nearby Whole Foods. It is a new place that is very clean with a simple, no-fancy layout that gives off a great, authentic Udupi vibe. Our server was super friendly, and we actually connected over sharing a similar background. Coming from Karnataka, it has been really tricky to find a good, authentic wada sambhar in the Seattle area. I crave it all the time, and I can confidently say this place serves the closest version to what we get back home! The masala dosa was equally good--not too thin, not too thick, and had the perfect crisp. I highly recommend getting the peanut chutney with it. The only slight letdown was the thali. I tried the chicken korma and chicken sukkha; the korma was just okay, and while the sukkha was good, it could have been better. My expectations were just incredibly high after tasting the amazing masala dosa and wada. That being said, my daughter absolutely loved the dosa, and overall, our family really enjoyed the meal. We will definitely come in again for the wada sambhar and dosa! ------------------------------

Very refreshing to find a restaurant that serves truly authentic, tasty, and high‑quality South…read moreIndian food at such a reasonable price. Shri Cafe is unpretentious, simple, and completely to the point,and that's exactly what makes it special. The service is excellent, and the food is consistently sumptuous and enjoyable. Unlike many Indian restaurants in this region that rely on overpowering spice levels, Shri Cafe focuses on balanced flavors. The food tastes homely, comforting, and genuinely authentic. Their akki rotti instantly reminded me of the ones I have back home, and their coconut chutney is absolutely spot on. The chutney is fresh, flavorful, and free of unnecessary filler ingredients. Everything I have tried on the menu has been good. The idlis are fluffy and airy, and the vadas are perfectly cooked with a crisp exterior. I have also tried their meal combos, which offer great value for money. The chapatis are cooked just right without excess oil, and the curries are gentle on the stomach with well-judged spices that can easily please both Indian and non‑Indian palates. The café does get busy during peak hours and has limited seating, so takeout is often the best option. A nice extra touch is that all their to‑go containers are compostable, which is very commendable. My only minor complaint is about the non‑veg curries in the meal combos. I have had the meal combo twice, and while they use bone‑in meat (which does enhance flavor), the portions were quite small and more than half of what I received was bone. Both the chicken ghee roast and mutton roast tasted great but had very little actual meat. That said, I am still giving Shri Cafe a full 5 stars because the food quality and authenticity truly stand out. I hope they fine‑tune the portions for the non‑veg curries, but even if not, the veg meal combo is equally delicious and satisfying. Overall, this is an excellent spot for authentic South Indian comfort food, and I will definitely keep coming back.

I was looking for an Indian restaurant for lunch and came across KGF. It's a small hole in the wall…read morein an unassuming plaza. It wasn't too busy when I came in, and that has to change! The food was absolutely incredible. I got a mango lassi and a paneer tikki masala dosa. The mango lassi was sweet, creamy, and had a subtle spice flavor. The dosa was a real showstopper. It came out quick and incredibly crispy, filled with tender chunks of paneer. The tikki masala flavor was perfect with the crispy lentil crepe, especially when dipped in the various chutneys. I'm unsure of what the chutneys/sauces are called, but they were so delicious. The cherry on top was meeting Pradish. He was the cashier and server while I was there and one of the friendliest people I've ever met. You can tell there's a lot of pride and love that goes into this restaurant and I'm definitely coming back when I'm in the area. Amazing food and even better people!!!

Got the Malabar porotta and goat curry on my last visit. I'm not sure if the porotta is made fresh…read moreor comes frozen, but it was nicely flaky and quite good. I hope they are making it fresh :). The goat curry was flavorful and came with a generous portion of meat. As a Kerala-style restaurant, I'd love to see them add some beef dishes to the menu.

We decided to come here early in the evening around 6 pm because it gets packed quickly. We got seated quickly but the restaurant fill up while we ate. Their menu is mainly kerala based. We got the pistachio rose lassi, the coconut lavender lemonade, the masala dosa, palakkad Avial, the nalla molagu chicken curry with some tandoori roti, garlic naan and Malabar paratha. The dosa and the palakkad Avial were the best of the lot. I am not a fan of banana in any form but banana in this vegetarian curry wasnt too bad. It tasted like Indian kadhi which I love. The chicken curry was runny and a bit disappointing. I wanted it to have more body, kick and more flavor. The breads are ok. The lassi was delicious but heavy. You could do without the pistachios pieces in it. The lavender coconut lemonade was nice. The curries came with rice, so the meal was filling for 4 people. Pricing wise, it was a little above the typical Indian restaurant prices. The ambiance is cute and casual. It has a slight cramped feel when it gets full, but overall, it isn't too bad. They have a decent open parking lot, which is convenient.

It was more watery and less flavorful than we remembered. The parotta was nice and flaky. The gunpowder dosa and veggie pakora were average. The chutneys helped add some flavor and moisture to the dishes. Overall, not as good as we remembered but still a good stop. The service was pretty fast and our server was friendly. There's a few small tables that can combined for larger parties. A table for two was seated quickly on a Friday night. This restaurant is known for its Kerala food.

Came here on a weekday evening, i think its new in a nice area so less crowd. Nobody was there when i went on Wednesday evening. I was offered to check the buffet which i did but i wanted only 1 dish. I ordered nihari and naan. The menu was on QR code so fancy of them. Nihari was meh, not great but it didnt have that taste of nihari or look. Naans were good, soft and fluffy , this place cut it into 4 pieces. Then for dessert i got gulab jamun and Chai. Gulab jamun presentation was fancy and had 3 pieces. And chai was a normal cup coulda been cooked a bit longer with milk . Gulab jamun was good, no complaints Idk if its a seattle thing, but everything is REALLY PRICEY up here. Chai one cup for 5.99 is just mindblowing. Down where i am from its 2.50 with free refills or only 1-2. Also nihari bieng like over $20 is just shocking. Maybe its how it is up here im not sure, but yes i hope this place improves on the nihari,

The lamb shank was rich, tender, and packed with flavor (a little spicy, but that's on me--I'm a wimp ). The garlic naan was perfectly soft and garlicky, and the tandoori seekh kabab had some great char. The real surprise standout was the taza hara bhara salad--so fresh, vibrant, and flavorful, it balanced the meal beautifully. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food here. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes.

Mild was actually mild unlike other places where it can still be spicy. I had the non-veg and friend had the veg. Both were excellent!! The butter chicken sauce is rice and creamy.

My recent visit to Tandoor Corner was, unfortunately, a culinary letdown, particularly concerning…read moretheir highly anticipated tandoor platter. As a fan of the vibrant and smoky flavors typically associated with tandoor cooking, I approached my meal with genuine excitement, only to be met with profound disappointment. I opted for the tandoor platter, envisioning succulent, perfectly spiced meats emerging from the clay oven with that characteristic char and depth of flavor. What arrived, however, was a collection of items that were, to put it mildly, astonishingly bland. Each component of the platter - from what I believe was meant to be chicken tikka to the seekh kebab - lacked any discernible seasoning or marinade. The chicken pieces, while perhaps cooked through, were utterly devoid of the zesty, spicy, or even subtly aromatic notes one expects. There was no hint of ginger, garlic, chili, or the myriad of spices that typically define Indian tandoor dishes. It felt as though the ingredients had simply been cooked without any prior preparation or flavor infusion. The texture was acceptable, but without any taste to accompany it, the experience quickly became monotonous and uninspired. There was no smoky char, no tantalizing aroma, and certainly no "zing" that makes tandoor cuisine so beloved. It was, quite frankly, boring. Every bite was a reminder of the flavors that should have been there but were conspicuously absent. For a dish that is often the centerpiece of an Indian meal, this tandoor platter was a significant letdown. It failed to deliver on the promise of rich, complex, and exciting flavors. I left feeling unsatisfied and genuinely surprised by the complete lack of taste. I sincerely hope the kitchen re-evaluates its approach to seasoning and marinating these classic dishes, as the current offering does a disservice to the potential of tandoor cooking.
