The food was delicious and service speedy! The clean interior was also very welcoming.

Been going here for the past 12 years and it's hands down the best Indian food in Seattle. Everything on the menu is solid, but honestly, the staff is what really makes the place. Super friendly people who always make you feel welcome. Absolute gem of a spot. read more

Good portions and delicious naan! I especially liked the spinach curry dish. Thank you for hosting us!

Cedars has been one of my all time favorite spots in the u-district! They seriously have the best garlic naan. The workers are super nice and I love that they have some parking spaces ready for you. We love the space inside. And get excited because they're moving to a new location soon on Roosevelt! read more

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

I came with some friends and we shared a giant naan (not super garlicky but pretty tasty), a chicken Rogan josh (yum) and a tandoori surprise- I think the chicken tandoori was the best so next time I would just get that one since it's also cheaper! I really appreciate that they have parking :) behind their establishment. The mango lassi was excellent! And it was served in a fun jar vessel. I'd say overall pretty good, it's def one of those $25-30/person kind of places so not cheap, but also maybe kind of standard these days in seattle. read more

Curry was super delicious. We were originally gonna get malatang but we are glad that we got curry instead this place should be more busier malatang places nearby. read more

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

Very nice ambiance and delicious food. It is always a great space to get together and enjoy Indian and Mediterranean cuisine.

Tikka masala was DELICIOUS, and the naan was big and fresh out the oven!! Definitely coming back!!

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

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in Seattle. Their naan is massive and the dishes are all very flavorful. I remember having a nice conversation with an older gentleman who worked there named Amir after he complimented my necklace. I'll miss the old wooden building, but I'm excited to see them at their new location! read more

The food was really great! Got the butter chicken and tandoori delight. The service was timely and the ambiance was great!

the service was friendly and helpful. the space is nice and clean. very good late night spot will come again :)

Good food and ambiance good parking and naan. The food at Cedars was delicious! Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the naan was especially good--warm, soft, and perfectly cooked. The staff was friendly, and parking was easy and convenient. Definitely a great spot for Indian food, and we'll be back! read more

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

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

nice atmosphere, smells really good, really nice staff. great parking location, good options here, even has lunch discounts of 15$ food. I'm getting dinner biryani chicken read more

Great service and food was super duper good! We got the butter chicken and coconut curry!!

The food and service is delicious. The staff are always very kind and helpful! Cedar's is great to visit with family, coworkers, and friends. Their lunch special + student discount is also awesome. One of the few issues is that the food is sometimes inconsistent including the spice level and it is sometimes not the cleanest. 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

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

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

It was really yummy best chicken tiki masala I've had, Their chai tea was yummy too. read more

I was very underwhelmed by this place. The curries just werent as flavorful as i was hoping. Just slightly disappointed. However their naan were huge and delicious. Service was good. But its not my favorite place. read more

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

Went here with some friends and was really excited, because I love Indian food! But unfortunately I found a big bug in my food after eating 1/4th of the food. They made me a new one which was nice, but I didn't really have an appetite afterward. They did give us some free baklava because of the bug. I haven't been back since :( read more

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 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

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

Went for a celebratory lunch and they were accommodating! At the corner so it was easy to find. Would definitely come back!

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
