This place is kind of a hidden gem. We found it after walking the canal and looking for a place to eat. I had the butter chicken and it was hands down the best I've ever had. The naan was amazing, it tastes homemade! Our server was Rohan and he was friendly and made our meal that much more enjoyable. If I'm in the area again I'm definitely going back! read more

Awesome food and great service with a cool vibe. I had their Bengali chicken cutlet and the butter chicken. The bartender Rodney was a delight to hang out with during my pop in. Will definitely be back. read more

Not Meeshing Out. I rarely give a 1 star rating because every business deserves a chance, but Meesha was over the top in bad service yesterday. We walked in for a reservation at 7:03 pm and were sat at our table within a few minutes. This is probably the best part of our service all evening. It took our server, Rohan, a good 25 minutes to come serve water and menus at our table. When the first of appetizers came (Kale Salad), we hadn't even been served plates and silverware. When we asked for those, we were given some plates with some random PLASTIC forks and knives (see picture) as a way to get started on our food. By now, it was well over 8:30 pm for a 7:00 pm reservation to START on our food. We looked around and saw that all the other tables had actual silverware so we asked why we didn't get the same and were informed they're "low staffed." We looked around and the place seemed busy so we figured we'll be patient. The food came, which I'll say was quite good, but it didn't make up for the pathetic service we continued to receive. In the middle, we asked for the manager and some random guy shows up and told us he's a "part time on call server" and there is no head or manager on site. Toward the end, Rohan told us the dessert options and recommended we NOT eat the bread pudding "because it wasn't so good," so we ordered the rabdi. When it came out, I could see the poor guys look on his face and he even joked and said...."well, here's your bread pudding.....not....here's your rabdi." We looked at it and it was literally shrikhand. Rabdi would have some texture to it, right? He agreed that didn't look like rabri either. Ultimately we finished the desert, and asked for the bill around 9:30. Our usual server was probably so embarrassed with this evening's service that he sent another waiter, a Caucasian male to help us. I asked that male empathetically, how they were coping with the busy kitchen and slow staffing and he looked confused. He said they were "fully staffed for the day." He actually seemed confused about why we'd think they were short staffed. We paid our bill and decided we would not be coming back. What bothers me about this experience is their complete lack of awareness of the poor service. Just admit that the restaurant is having a bad day and comp a dish or two, but instead, all we heard was complete apathy and excuses. For a "fine dining" experience, this deserves a negative star option because you don't expect to pay a $200 bill for a dinner and get this sort of service. Do better Meesha - or at a minimum, have your servers get their story right when your service fails miserably. Not coming back and highly recommend others not go. If you want similar food with a much better experience, go to Kriket Club, Zaika, Farzi or a bunch of other places that have impeccable food and service. You're not Meeshing out by not going to Meesha. read more

Came here after hearing they offered a modern take on Indian cuisine, which immediately piqued my interest. I stopped by during a World Cup match, so most of the nearby bars were packed, but this restaurant was surprisingly quiet with only a few tables occupied. The décor is nice enough, but it didn't quite match the way the advertise. Unfortunately, the service was also underwhelming. It wasn't bad, but it felt pretty lackluster, especially for a restaurant at this price point. I was expecting a more polished dining experience. The food was good, but it didn't wow me. My favorite dish was the Paneer, and the kofta was also enjoyable. One thing that stood out in a negative way was the presentation. For example, when our appetizer platter arrived, some of the dishes were awkwardly stacked or hanging over one another. It seemed like a small detail, but at this price, I expected more attention to presentation. Overall, the meal was solid, but it didn't leave a lasting impression. With so many great Indian restaurants nearby, I'm not sure I'd return. read more

We always have a great dining experience at Meesha, the ambience is modern and aesthetic. On our recent visit we tried their Thaali which had railway chicken, chaat, papad, kaadi and halwa. Everything was delicious. I'm a huge fan of their cocktails too - they're unique with Indian twist to them. read more

Service started off very odd, but gradually improved. The Jaljeera was a satisfying mocktail, I just could've done without the cumin. The cumin gives a butter chicken after taste that I didn't care for. My favorite starters were the kale pakora chaat (almost like a crunchy kale salad; loved the addition of the grapes) and keema ghotala (basically lamb sliders with grounded lamb). Super surprised that I wasn't mad at the methi paneer; it almost didn't taste like cheese. The Connaught butter chicken wasn't special. The kalmi grilled lamb chops and the mutton ghee roast were okay. My favorite dish was the alleppey fish curry, which made everyone start eating my food. Everything was flavorful, just not necessarily my favorite food. read more

We ordered take-out dinner from Meesha - they have a pretty good deal for 2 people dinner (I don't remember the cost), you get 2 gravies and 2 sides (where we picked two gravies) as well. 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. read more

Ordered Meesha for takeout and it was excellent! I definitely want to come back here for a date night. The ambiance inside was lovely. Staff was very friendly and made a quick fix when we realized we were missing our rice. Price was more reasonable than I thought it would be for a fancy place. There are a few vegetarian options, which is appreciated, and what we had was delicious! What we ordered: Prawn Poppers Kadai Paneer Vegetable Kofta Kulcha Bread Cardamom Ghee Rice read more

I was so hungry and I couldn't take photos from my food, but I ordered Butter Chicken, Allepey fish curry and rice.

I love Meesha and their take on modern/contemporary Indian cuisine! The restaurant and ambiance is beautiful! They even have an outside patio for those sunny Seattle summers, it is shaded in the back. I love the presentation of everything and the colors of the food and drinks, so vibrant and stunning! It was interesting, the two apps we got were SO flavorful and kind of typical Indian flavors and super aromatic and spicy, then we got to the mains and it was not as spice forward, maybe done purposely so your palatte is not going crazy the whole time! Must gets are definitely the cauliflower and lamb. The lamb is so tender and paired with the sauce was unreal. I love the first round of drinks we got Mughal Empress & Merchant's Wife, they were perfection. I however was not a fan of the Tipsy Girl girl drink, it almost tasted like medicine. Our server was Bhagyesh and he was amazing of giving us recommendations on what to get and we so appreciated it so much! Everything he recommened we loved and he provided such amazing and attentive service! read more

Made a reservation here. They sat us OUTDOORS in February. It is TOO cold, even with any heaters. No other restaurant does outdoor seating in February. Especially not what you would expect for a reservation. Service is poor. Slow and disorganized. Wouldn't recommend. There are so many other places you could spend your money at. read more

Got a too good to go bag for $6 and was totally worth it. Got the butter chicken which was good and would have been $32, cardamom basmati rice which would have been $8, chickpeas curry and Dahl curry was also good as well. Quick service since my bag was already ready for pick up without any wait time. There was a big table for a group of 12 and some other tables there. read more

Follow up review Meesha continues to be a next level dining experience. We ordered appetizers and mains. The cauliflower and pakoras were amazing and my companion raved about them throughout the meal and took the extras home. Portions were hero size. We could have probably just done with the appetizers. She had the lamb chops, and I had the Kerala stew. Both were cooked perfectly flavorful and just amazing. The presentation is always on point comma service is exceptional.Food came out relatively quickly, but not too quickly. We had the cardamom cake, which was a great cap to an amazing meal. And dining experience highly recommend read more

Great place to get Indian food around Fremont. The service and atmosphere was great! They have a very large menu with lots of tasty options. We decided to go with the butter chicken and another curry which had vegetable dumplings. We ordered something that was similar to naan and a bowl of butter rice. Overall, the food was good, it could be a little bit more hotter. The chicken inside the butter chicken was OK. Overall, the curry itself was very good and the bread. The drinks were amazing in my opinion! I would come back and try something else. read more

Meesha was some of the best Indian food I've had, and "Canteen By Meesha" still has great food, but what happened here? 7:30 PM on a Friday. Fridays in Fremont in full swing with live music everywhere and bars and streets full of people. In Canteen, there is just one angry looking woman in the dining room, and the kitchen staff is sitting down with nothing to do. We're sitting in what used to be a delightful back deck open to the sky and the neighborhood, but now it has a roof and has been boarded up. The server said it was his first day at Canteen, but I think it was his first day as a server anywhere. He got our orders right, but that was about it. When we left an hour and a half later, the dining room was still empty, yet the scene on the street was lively and loud. This place was booming when Pomerol and Meesha occupied the space, but Canteen by Meesha isn't flying. read more

Good restaurant for a nicer dinner. Their dishes are on the pricier side, with relatively small portions. You can try a lot of stuff, it'll just cost you. For our appetizers, we got the crepe tacos, sliders, and croquettes. They were all so flavorful, we loved all the appetizers. The main dishes were good but honestly did not live up to the expectations set by the appetizers. The dosa was very crispy and nice, but the roti was too doughy. The butter chicken had a nice flavor, but came in a very small portion. Overall, nice ambiance and I'm glad I got to try it once but I don't think I'll be back for a while. read more

Absolutely love Meesha. Consistently creative dishes and drinks. This is my favorite Indian food in Seattle

It taste like elevated Indian home cooking. I didn't think I could find these flavors in Seattle. But here it is. It's ABSOLUTELY worth going. read more

Went there with the wife over the weekend. Food was excellent, service was great, but they add a 22% service charge that wasn't mentioned anywhere on the menu automatically to your bill regardless of the size of your party. I loved eating there but seriously. 22% for a party of 2? Just raise your freaking prices, and don't hide shit from your customers. read more

Very cute space inside. The food is a little pricey but it was good! I loved the cauliflower dish (Andhra gobhi) and the lamb sliders (Rarah keema pao), Connaught butter chicken, and kulcha bread. The only thing my table didn't I didn't love was the Chandni chowk aloo tikki. read more

Had high hopes for some good Indian food at @meeshaforyou but unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. Here's my honest take: - Fried Gobhi: soggy and tasteless, with a chewy texture. - Keema Pav: dry and lacked salt. - Aloo Tikki Chaat: mashed potatoes that seemed like they'd been sitting around too long. The drinks were a bright spot, but the entrées didn't follow through. The Mutton Ghee Roast needed more flavor, and the Connaught Chicken was a disappointing take on butter chicken(All meat is halal). Ambience? Chatty with no music. Service was good overall Overall, only visit if you feel left out - it's really not worth the hype. #honestreviews #honestblogger #seattle #seattlelife #seattleindians #seattleindianfood #seattlefoodie #seattlefood #seattlefoodies #seattlefoodscene #honestreels #foodblogger #foodblogfeed #butterchicken #keema #drinks #seattledrinks #seattlefinedining #explore #exploremore #exploreseattle read more

We had an excellent dinner here. The food was not the traditional Indian restaurant fare but somewhat reshuffled. And somewhat more expensive than similar dished elsewhere. The dishes were very tasty and visually attractive. The service was careful and well timed. Our server was calm and dignified. This was appreciated as so many servers these days seem to think they need to be showy. The decor was attractive and comfortable. One surprise was the 22% gratuity automatically added to the bill. I would have left 18 to 20 % and felt some resentment at the decision being taken out oy hands. read more

The bench seating with cushions is a charming touch, and the food is delicious and quite sophisticate, but not too spicy. The wait staff is attentive, but not intrusive, and very responsive. read more

This place has been on our list to try since they opened, and made it to dinner recently. We made reservations before we went, they did have a few open tables when we got there. We started with Pakoras and Amritsari Fish. We loved the Amritsari Fish, perfectly fried. The Pakoras were good. We then got Connaught butter chicken, and Namak ajwain paratha. We loved both the Connaught butter chicken and Namak ajwain paratha. We got Fruit Rabri for dessert and loved it. read more

Food and ambience were great. I especially loved the mojitos served here! Would recommend this place! read more

I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately have to agree with some other reviewers that the taste of the food just doesn't justify the price ...you are literally paying for the ambience and the food doesn't hit the spot. The plating is pretty but rather odd for example the luchi comes dunked in the potato stew and the ghugni chaat had a lemon piece right on top of the curry which you need to fish out. Kulcha was basically a dry butter free naan Only the moong dal halwa was tasty but the halwa isn't even the hero of the dish it's overshadowed by the ice cream ..Rabri tastes like cheese not like actual Indian rabri. Also every Indian restaurant must have a rice dish like pulao or biriyani but they had nothing rice oriented (no cumin rice doesn't count). Management should take reviews seriously and overhaul the menu read more

We ordered the Chandon chowk albo tikki appetizer, Connaught chicken, and Sunday Dosa. The food was spicy as expected, but not too spicy. I would try the appetizer again, but I think I'd want to find another dish to try because the other two weren't amazing. They weren't bad, but they weren't something I'd recommend to a friend who wants to try their best dish. The portion and presentation were very what I'd think is Americanized. Overall great experience. Service was good. Atmosphere was dark and moody. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to go here, but if I was in the area and craving Indian food, I'd likely choose this. read more

We went to try the NYE menu of Meesha'a and it was a mixed bag. Some dishes were great but some were not. The Kulcha was more like a pita bread and did not feel fresh, chaat and croquettes were very good. The veg third course was a beet uttapam that did not feel fresh and was small in size, in comparison the non-veg third course quail biryani was very good. The fourth course was average for both veg and non-veg. Eating lamb after a year but the meat felt over salted and was lacking a refreshing element. They also ran out of the ice cream on the menu so ended up replacing it with vanilla ice cream which made the dessert too creamy and lacked freshness. We did enjoy the wine pairing with the food. Overall, a decent experience that could have been better. read more

Good ambience and nice decor with candles around. I made reservation for Friday night and it was good I did as restaurant was fully crowded . Food is just average . Cost of food was not justifiable neither the taste nor the presentation. I have tried all the $$$ Indian restaurant in Seattle this doest come as $$$ one for sure. Service is average as their are less servers then crowd to accommodate . And I am not sure why gratuity was added automatically when we were just 3 people ?? Won't recommend it , their are much better $$$ Indian restaurant you can try for good fusion food . Parking is tough to find read more

All the respiratory viruses going around make eating outside seem like a good idea, but I think we are all a bit fatigued by freezing wet outdoor spaces. That's why it's so lovely that Meesha has a nice, well ventilated but also well heated outdoor space that manages to have a simple but elegant atmosphere. The service is prompt and friendly. Other yelpers talk about getting pushed out the door but we found the pace to be very relaxed - he neither ignored us nor pushed us out the door, which is great for a busy Saturday night. The drinks were interesting and delicious, I had the Meesha Old Fashioned which was sweet yet balanced and went well with the meal. The food was absolutely delicious. We appreciated how visually appealing the meal was too - pops of color. Our favorites were the potato croquettes and the paneer - both well done and complex without being pretentious. There's also a big vegan section and a big mock tail section! read more

sometimes your parents visit you and say, "make a reservation, dinner's on us." and then you say, "aight bet." and then they say, "choose an adventurous place." and then you say, "aight bet." so you google dinner places around town and get a list and choose from that list based on what food you like. We tried a lot of the dishes. My favorite was the paneer lasagna. It's sooooooooooooooooooo good. but anyway, i work for a small business that tries to get a ton of 5 star google reviews to increase reach so i gotta say that when the server handed us a card with a few QR codes (the one to google didn't work), i felt a familiar weight on my heart, a sympathy for another business struggling for SEO impressions. So I'm giving Meesha, 5 stars. read more

Excellent flavors! The sauces are over the top delicious. The smoked chicken was moist and tender. The service was on point and the decor pleasantly akin to a London or LA vibe with a strong back beat and sleek seating. This visit left me wanting to come back and try more dishes to see how they've elevated them. Cocktails are unique and fun. read more

I wasn't sure about this place because they didn't have my usual Indian favorites like biryani and garlic naan, but everything we ate was amazing! They were offering Seattle Restaurant Week specials so we got to try a ton of different things. Some of the favorites were: -Andra Gobhi (crispy cauliflower in sweet/spicy sauce -Chicken Uttapam (very filling as a starter) -Kalmi grilled lamb chops (deliciously tender, no gamey taste at all) -Connnaught butter chicken (not your typical butter chicken, but delightful) -Goan prawns (sauce on this was great) -Kutcher bread (soo good! My favorite thing to sop up all the sauces) Nice ambience, good service, and parking was easy to find. read more

The food was wonderful and I enjoyed almost all of the dishes very much. I even had some leftovers for breakfast! The patio is also such a calm oasis for a meal and I was very glad to have booked a table there. However, the service was really lacking - there was no greeting when we came in for our reservation and our server Karen was largely absent during our meal - I saw her being much more attentive to other tables around us but she seemed to be avoiding us altogether. I didn't feel welcome at all. I don't know why the service we received was so chilly, but I left feeling like we had been a nuisance. I did write to the restaurant after our meal with these concerns but didn't hear back, which I think is very telling. read more

Service and ambiance are casual and confident - I really enjoyed the refined presentation of the food. Prices are reasonable; keep in mind that you'll need to order a variety of items from both the appetizers and the mains to really fill the table for a group, but nobody at ours left hungry. Cocktails are on the sweet side (the Paloma was almost sickly so - it's generally a pretty dry drink?) to my taste - I would stick with wine or beer here. On to the food... not a fan of the lamb chops (underseasoned/overcooked) or the potato croquettes (mushy texture), and there's a same-same-y ness to the mint chutney (it's ubiquitous - it gets served as the topping/condiment for many of the dishes), but overall I enjoyed this meal and I would come back to try other things on the menu (the fish dishes were excellent - I would recommend any of them; prawns, salmon, rockfish - all of it). read more
