Cedars in University District - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Love it, one of my favorite spots and the food is always very good. Staff and service is good as always

I love this place!! amazing food, people are super nice, ambiance is great, will come back

Forgot how great this place was! Truly this place is awesome! The staff is always kind and friendly. The ambiance is cozy and inviting with dim lighting perfect for a date night. The food was even better than I remembered! Always smells delicious walking by this restaurant and wow the food doesn't disappoint. Lamb Palak or Saag Gosht (what I know the dish as) is my all time favorite and the Lamb Palak was made perfectly! Flavor was delicious and meat was perfect. I was in flavor town and doing the happy food dance at the table it was so enjoyable. The garlic Naan was huge and delicious. I love putting the mint chutney on my Naan. So good!!! I can't wait to come back! :) read more

TLDR: We had an underwhelming time at Cedars. Food was overall decent but didn't stand out to me. Had a hard time with lack of service where we needed to wait a long time to order and flag our waiter down when we wanted a box and the check Food: We had the appetizer sampler (I believe its called the Tandoori Delight on the menu), Coconut Curry with chicken, and the Aloo Paratha. Personally nothing stood out to me but I did appreciate the curry came loaded with protein enough for 2 people to share 1 entree. For spice we ordered medium (2/4 stars) but wished we got medium hot (3/4 stars) Service: This was where we were most disappointed. When we came in we were sat towards the back of the restaurants with a few other parties. It seemed that everyone (including us) had a hard time getting service even though the restaurant didn't appear too busy. We waited a while to order and after we finished the staff never came so I got up and asked for a box and the check. Note: Only a few spots in their parking lot are reserved for Cedars, all other spots are paid parking or there is nearby street parking read more

Absolutely amazing food and service at Cedars Restaurant. The butter chicken was packed with flavor, the garlic naan was perfect, and the portions were solid. Staff treated us like family from the moment we walked in. My Brother called me "benchode" after I stole the last piece of naan and honestly... fair enough . Definitely one of my favorite Indian spots in Seattle -- easy 5 stars. read more

I have never been to Cedars Restaurant before even though it is a fairly popular Indian spot in the University District. Fortunately, while I was in the area during the Cherry Blossom Festival, Cedars Restaurant had a special cherry blossom themed item, the Cherry Mango Lassi. Cedars famous mango lassi, elevated with the deliciousness of cherries for a unique twist on a traditional favorite. My boyfriend LOVES mango lassi, so whenever there is a restaurant that serves mango lassi I have to get it to let him know how it is. I ordered to-go since I didn't have the time to dine-in to try other items. I hope I can return back soon to try the food here! read more

Cedars in University District - Cherry Mango Lassi - CHERRY BLOSSOM SPECIAL - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Been loyal to Cedars as our favorite quality go to spot. food is great. service is attentive & patient. low lights for a comfortable feel.

Solid choice for Indian food in the udistrict. We liked the veg express mango curry with paneer. Nice patio in back.

Delicious food, love to come here. Mango lassi is amazing as well. Excited to come back again!

Been a frequent customer since my college days, and am a fan of the food. good portions, worth it for the money.

Delicious Indian food, we enjoyed a seamless meal, however wish we could have ordered with a server rather than everything be QR code. The naan is huge and the curries are typical. A great spot if you're craving Indian! read more

Loved the decor. Garlic naan was fire too. butter chicken was good, biryani was mid. bathrooms could've been cleaner, but really good service. read more

The butter chicken melted in my mouth like butter. Great atmosphere and vibe. 10/10 would recommend again

The service was attentive and the food was really great. The convenient location is also helpful.

The food and service at Cedars was very good. In particular, Amir, our server, was excellent and really deserved a 5 day rating

This place is awesome. Kind service and great food! Will definitely be coming back. Amier was the coolest of all time

We always looked at that restaurant with my girlfriend and said that we should go, until today we made the decision. First of all, the atmosphere, very calm and perfect for a date. The food was delicious, we loved it very much. The price is good for the food they give plus free rice!!! The service was excellent, all the guys were always very friendly and very helpful. I recommend it 100% read more

Finally visited after seeing so many great reviews about Cedars! We got: Mediterranean Salad, Curry Specialties, Garlic Naan, Butter Masala, and Spinach & Paneer Naan! Everything so so delicious! And very filling! We were basically in awe of everything we ate, how well seasoned every dish was, and how we should've come sooner! Everyone was super kind and helped us get situated into our table, and we definitely will come again! read more

great customer service and food! Will be back. The ambiance was also nice and it's in a good location.

Cedars has been my go to place for Indian for years--specifically the chicken tikka masala. Normally it's just the perfect tikka masala . Is lt's the perfect combination of spiciness, tanginess, and subtle sweetness of ginger. Lately it has just been a little off. Then this last time (take out), the tikka masala was super sour to the point of being almost inedible. I wonder if ownership/management changed? read more

My favorite Indian restaurant on the u district, recommend this place To anyone in Seattle area

Super yummy food. love the Rogan Josh and Garlic Naan. one of the best indian places in Udistric.

Absolutely great location for food after a long week at school. Open late for students to enjoy

The food was amazing and the ambiance was great. Always have a great time dining here

BEST INDIAN FOOD ON THE AVE! If people don't know what the ave is, but it's an entire ave filled of food and lots of boba places at University District. I personally don't like Indian and it's because of the intense smell of spices from the curry and other dishes. But my friends convince that I should try cedars. Walking in I feel like I'm someone home, it was cozy with the dem lights. I got the butter chicken, Nan bread and my friends got malsala with cheese. I found it interesting that they have a curry with cheese. Overall the dishes were really delicious and flavor (very buttery). And i barely smell any strong sense of species. It was very light. Rating: 5/5 butter chicken: most popular dishes here. Very butter and the chicken is really soft. And not chewy 4/5 Malsal with cheese: not bad it's the butter chicken but without the chicken they had cubes of cheese. read more

Cedars in University District - Butter Chicken - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Cedars never disappoints. This time I got shahi korma chicken and garlic naan. It was my first time trying this dish since I usually get the butter chicken. I'm super glad I tried something new! I have only ordered take out from cedars but the interior is very cozy and I definitely plan to dine in sometime soon. Also, as my friend and I were picking up our food the man at the greeting desk kindly offered us complimentary chai tea to go. The tea was great, and was a small gesture that went a long way! read more

Cedars in University District - Shahi Korma and Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We went for dinner at this place in a weekday. They surprised us with everything we ordered. The masala chai was amazing. We ordered platters and all the items were really good. We ended our meal with dal tadka and it was perfect. They have two spice levels, one normal spice level and another is indian spice level, which was really interesting and we ordered everything with indian spice level. It was perfect. Ambiance is good too. Overall, a must visit if you are around and you wouldn't be disappointed. read more

Pretty good Indian cuisine! I have yet to dine in yet, but it looks like a descent place especially for Udistrict. We normally stick to a couple dishes on rotation because I'll admit I like what I like. And when it's made right I'll want just that! Items on rotation: garlic naan, royal briyani, tandoori chicken, aloo gobi, and the mango lassi. The mango lassi is delicious it really soothes the spice and clears my palate. Some dishes I get are 3 stars or even 4 stars so they're pretty spicy. But the mango lassi saves me from a sizzling tongue. Also their basmati rice is aromatic, cooked perfectly and fresh. I have a couple reasons why I rated this restaurant three stars opposed to four. My first time trying Cedars I got the tandoori salmon and it was the driest piece of fish I ever had. Just a couple cooking minutes shy of becoming salmon jerky. It also had two huge thermometer holes that took me a moment to figure out what they were, it was just a bit off putting accompanying it being so dry. Also when ordering through Uber the entrees arrived as appetizers. No where near the normal size when calling in/carry out. As well as the dishes we happened to order was lacking the main ingredient's they were supposed to have which never happened before. On top of that the price was more through Uber so it just didn't feel worth it at all. That same order they had ran out of mango lassi and didn't call for my preference they just swapped it out with a strawberry juice that just tasted so artificial. Like some low quality snow cone syrup. Not suggested if you don't like fake flavorings taste. Other than those critiques from my most recent order their food is pretty tasty and fresh! Despite those cons I would still order food there and suggest this to anyone wanting yummy Indian food! read more

Cedars in University District - Vegetable Coconut Curry, and Vindaloo Chicken - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

awesome food and quick service! not much more you can ask for. the lassi and butter chicken were great and authentic too!

Cedars is my go to Indian spot in U District! They consistently keep the same delicious and enhanced flavor of food! My favorite thing to order is the Mango Curry Chicken. It's tangy and always hits the spot when I'm starving! Along with the Mango Curry Chicken, the garlic naan is so crispy and breaks off really well. Such a good combo! When you order, they also give you two types of chutney. I'm not sure what types but one is green and the other is brown. The green chutney is cilantro and is savory and salty, while the brown one is more sweet. I personally prefer the brown one. Keep Cedars on your list of places to go! read more

Cedars in University District - Mango Curry Chicken - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

TLDR: great restaurant with good food, a lot of options (vegan options as well), cozy environment, free parking available and great service though it might be hard to get the attention your server. Atmosphere: dimly lit, super cozy and homey. It is perfect for catching up with friends, date night or dinner with family. There are lots of tables and is great for big groups. There's a QR code on each table to view the menu. Bonus point: I like that the online menu has the option to talk to a server or request the paper menu, though it is further down the online menu. There are lots of options including vegan options. There are pictures for every menu item so that helps! Food: Their menu has so many options that we took a lot of time to read through and decide. Wings: very flavorful, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, though they are a little burned. Cedars nan: really good, the nan is massive! Curry specialies with lamb: big portion of curry, comes with rice. It is pretty good but does not make an impression on me. The restaurant also gives 2 jars of sauces (I'm not sure what they are) but they are amazing and go great with nan and everything else! Service: the food came really fast! The server checked up on us to see if everything was okay once we got our food. However, it was pretty hard for us to get the attention of the server. They walked so quickly to deliver food to nearby tables but walked away so fast we couldn't get a hold of them. The restaurant was pretty busy so I can understand their efficiency. However the interaction with our server was amazing, she was so nice. This definitely left a good impression on us! Parking: free validated parking in front of the restaurant but each slot is fairly small, and it fills up quickly. It is a bonus point since it's not easy to find parking in this area. There are nearby street parkings you can find if this lot fills up. Overall, I love the ambience, the food and service here. I'll definitely come back. read more
