Tried their buffet, and I was slightly underwhelmed. They had a large assortment for appetizers, entrees, and desserts, along with coffee, but in general these dishes lacked authenticity. The mutter paneer had a good unique creamy texture to it (often missing in this dish), but the daal and other dishes were pretty average in taste. Main reason I wouldn't go back is because there are cheaper Indian buffets offered in the puget sound with tastier dishes. However, the ambience is nice and the restaurant itself is quite fancy! read more

I'm not sure why the ratings here are so low, this is my go to Indian place! Granted I only ever order the Chicken Tikka Masala and plain Naan anytime and anywhere I get Indian! I have never been disappointed here, the Chicken Tikka Masala sauce is creamy, spicy, and delicious. The chicken is tender and well cooked. I do prefer to dine in rather than order delivery because you have more control over the spice level that way. Dining in, they always have speedy service which is appreciated since I am usually ravenous when I come. For delivery, they are also speedy but I live about a 10 minute drive away. Still, the food has always been hot when it arrives from the delivery service (usually Amazon restaurants). read more

I had dinner here a few years ago and was glad to see that were still in business. I was looking forward to trying their buffet, but due to Covid, they couldn't do it. They did have a lunchbox selection instead so I tried the Chicken Korma with Saag Paneer and it came with rice as well as some naan. The food was tasty and ample portions. There was enough to take back to the hotel for dinner and enjoy it twice! read more

We are extremely limited on our diet due to several health issues and Chutney's is always incredibly kind and understanding of our menu "tweaks" - and we hate being "that couple" who have dietary restraints, but like to have one date night a week to have something special and Chutney's is our place - excellent menu choices, excellent service, and everything is so tasty! A real treat for two people who otherwise would be at home eating their low sodium, low protein, low potassium, low adventurous dinner ;) Thank you, Chutneys! read more

We ordered a couple of appetizers, kofta curry as entree, and some rotis. The appetizers had very little salt and no chaat masala. We had to ask for both on the side. The sizzling veggies were wet with sauce instead of being dry with seasonings and spices. For the kofta curry that we had ordered for takeout, they put the kofta together with the curry instead of packing them separately. As a result by the time we ate it, the koftas had become all soggy. Finally, the rotis were all burnt. I understand that restaurants in Seattle area do not typically make great Indian food, but there is no excuse to get basic things so wrong. read more

Love that this place is so thorough about gluten cross contamination. They even have gluten free naan that's cooked in a separate oven from the tandoor. As a celiac it's hard to find places that you can trust, but this seems to be one of them. Oh! But they do serve gluten *removed* beer, which is not acceptable for very sensitive individuals, so heads up! Love how convenient this place is. They're currently just doing outdoor seating and I haven't had issues with it yet. Employees are wearing masks. That could change with the upcoming phase change though :) read more

Absolutely so delicious! I had never come here before since the reviews weren't so great but I definitely recommend looking past the reviews and giving this place a try because it was so good, I came here and sat on the outside patio by the fountain and it was so nice and service was great too read more

no clean, one worst place I have ever visited.A terrible place! The food was cold, the waiters were unresponsive, and the waitress didn't even bring us any appliances. We waited more than an hour to receive an order, which, moreover, was of unacceptable quality. I will never visit this restaurant again and I do not recommend it to anyone. Treated like shit and shit place read more

Great dinner. We were looking for a more local option and this is the winner! Great flavors and great value.

Best Indian food in town!!! Menu has many options, flavors are great and service is superb. read more

Chutneys Bistro - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is so good!! Love the coconut curry, mulligatawny soup, the chutneys salad, mango lassi. Chutneys is my go-to in Wallingford.

These guys brought back their lunch buffet after (much of) the pandemic, as they had before it.  Some dishes were good, others not so good -- both then and now.  Overall, a takeable deal. Until now, when they ended buffet service without changing their buffet advertisement on their  Web site.  I patently don't buy from those who advertise falsely, so, no, I was not interested in a menu order after walking in today and finding no buffet. It's the restaurants who are consistently good who get the menu orders.  So it's not clear where these guys go now, if anywhere at all, given that Seattle has both excellent restaurants of all types and a buying public who knows the difference. read more

We got the tandoori mixed grill, Chicken,lamb and shrimp and "mixed vegetables". To be fair this photo was taken after I removed two drumsticks. However while it tasted OK, it was a little disappointing. If I had known that "mixed vegetables" really meant a whole bunch of sliced onions with two small slices of peppers I would have ordered something else. Also, "shrimp" generally is used to describe plural shrimp. The vagaries of the English language are on their side however since it is true that we were served "shrimp". As in a single shrimp. It was chewy. All in all I won't order from this place again, though they do a good buffet in normal times. read more

My wife and I previously lived in Seattle and frequently Chutney's often as we love their food! Now nearly every time we come into town to visit family we either end up their with friends, family, our by ourselves. Whether you enjoy Indian food or have thought about trying it, the staff are friendly and the foods is always delicious! read more

Out of the many places I have tried around town, Chutneys has my favorite Korma so delicious.

Came here for the first time and the first thing that I saw is the attractive entry with a water feature and then entering this very dim bistro bar with many booths. The staff are very friendly and responsive. But the food is not as authentic as I thought it would be. We ordered Tikka masala and butter chicken, our dish just had too much tomato paste in there where you could not taste the spices, we ordered a 3 star and a no star, if you like the tomato taste then a no star is good for you but if you like a little spice order a 3 star bit without the taste of the spices you are craving for. This isn't a bad place but not good. People are ordering like crazy here so it might take longer if your dinning in. read more

I love to come here for happy hour, 4-8, because their mango margaritas are delicious! They also serve some decent wine, and if you order three happy hour appetizers, you'll be set for dinner.I like the veggie samosas, chicken pakoras and paneer pakoras. And after that I'm stuffed. The decor is really nice and they have an organic menu. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm very curious. I've tried their other dishes, curries and tikka masala and whatnot, and it's good solid Indian food. The happy hour is a particularly good deal. read more

I don't know if other people had this issue, but Chutney's postmates, google, and doordash info isn't up to date. I ordered on Postmates and selected pick up. The address indicated on Postmates (1100 Pike St) took me to a location in Capitol Hill, Seattle Tattoo Emporium. I then drove to their Queen Anne location, 519 1st Ave N. That Chutneys was permanently closed. There was no phone number for this Chutney's location listed on Postmates, so I called their Bellevue location and the man working told me the only two locations that exist are in Wallingford and Bellevue. At this point I was frustrated the address led me to a tattoo parlor, that my food was ready but I was nowhere near it. Granted the real Wallingford address is listed here on Yelp, but I ordered on Postmates and trusted their address was correctly listed on the app. Postmates charges you if you cancel after their cancellation window. I had to go through customer service to get my money back, which was a headache in itself. Just know if you're ordering from doordash/postmates, their address is NOT 1100 Pike st or 519 1st Ave N. If you see the 519 1st Ave Queen Anne location marked permanently closed on google maps, you have my boyfriend and I to thank for driving around looking for our dinner because we promptly reported it closed when we got home food-less. Heartbreak. I wish I got to try their food because I heard really good things about it. read more

For lunch! $11 all you can eat buffet. I have eaten here a number of times during lunch, and have been impressed each time by the food. You have a number of delicious options: my favorites are the beef meatballs and chicken legs! They also have very tender and juicy chicken curry to serve over your rice! They have decent deserts for the taking also. The rice pudding and mango pudding satisfy my sweet tooth every time. The service is decent, water is always refilled before it gets below halfway, and the checks come in a timely fashion without asking. I'm saying "4" stars because for the price and the deliciousness of the food, it's pretty hard to beat! I'll be back, most definitely. read more

Chutneys Bistro - Indian buffet, yum. - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came here to satisfy the I-haven't-eaten-yet-and-I'm-getting-angry" hunger, hence, Indian food for breakfast, but we were here around lunch time. The place is pretty fancy feeling with a fully stocked bar. (If anyone from the LBC is reading this, it reminded me of Eclipse back in the day). We had the option to eat from the buffet, but they never have vindaloo anything according to the bf, so we ordered from the menu. We both love lamb, so the bf got the lamb vindaloo and I ordered lamb biryani. For an appetizer, we opted for the calamari which turned out to be the best calamari either one of us has ever eaten! I don't know my Indian food spices at all, but whatever was in the batter just made the those rings of rubbery squid taste heavenly! Our entrees, too, were bomb! They were served in the typical little family-style copper pots, but there was really no sharing between us cuz I turn up the heat on my food and the bf get his stuff mild. He, however, remarked that more often than not, restaurants fail to find his idea of mild. The chef that day found it. This was the 2nd time I had ever had biryani and I loved it. We also tried the spinach, which was interestingly delicious. I would like to come here some time for dinner and see what the night-time vibe is like. It was pretty chill during a Saturday day. Service was good. The prices are a little on the high side compared to a meal I had had on the eastside which included impeccable wait service, but the verdict is that I would definitely come again and most likely partake in some of the house libations! read more

The coconut salmon is very good! My 3 year old ate almost the whole dish, and he is a very picky eater. Good portions for takeout and helpful staff. Next time I will try the non-curry salmon dish. read more

Stopped to meet a friend at this Chutney's in Wallingford. I was looing at the lunch buffet, thinking...."hmm, ok but not great" and how pleasantly wrong I was!!! The spices are excellent and the sauces exude wonderful flavors. This is one of the better Indian buffets I've had. The fruits were also extremely fresh and an excellent and light desert to cap off what was a 2-trip lunch. My favorite was the tika masala and least favorite was the Daal which seemed bland. I will definitely go back and absolutely recommend this spot for an inexpensive and fast lunch! read more

Surprisingly clean and dimly lit, Chutney's Bistro is a great stop for Indian fare. The service is great and the food is delicious. They have an organic menu which offers some of their regular items but "organic" for a few dollars more. Free parking in the attached center and lots of street parking. read more

This is a review strictly for the veggies/fruit for the sunday brunch buffet. I can't voucher for the rice/naan/desserts/curry/meat I like that I was served unlimited pineapple/watermelon/grilled veggies/sauteed mushrooms with green beans on top on my soft cooked eggs! for aroun $11- pretty good price for brunch - wish they had unlimited unsweetened chai but they just had black coffee. for meat lovers, there was only chicken that day..fyi! read more

How Chutneys is only 3.5 stars is CRAZY! This place has awesome food, very good chicken, and the staff are super friendly!

Please keep up the great work! read more

Thanks guys for staying open during this year. Delicious, fast Indian food just they way you want it. I'm addicted to the saag paneer.

Great service and tasty food, definitely recommend. We had mulligatawny soup, paneer and lamb tiki masala. The soup was on point, full of chicken and vegetables and a hint of spiciness. Paneer was deep fried and came with two delicious sauces, couldn't stop eating them. The lamb masala was the BEST I've ever tasted, we got medium spicy and it was perfect. We came here very hungry and left with leftovers. read more

so good, my girl gobbled! we will be back. love the lunch buffet, try the mouse!! and the meatballs are yum!

Hated it. They have one sauce they use for every single dish. That sounds wonderful! The mango chicken was quite fascinating. A butter chicken with a fruit salad on the side. WHY?! We got a chicken curry and asked for it to be spicy. Spicy doesn't mean that the spices are left uncooked. Spices DO NOT serve that purpose. The Biriyani had to be sent back. Service is bad. And when you pay $23-$24 for a meal, it shouldn't be this bad. Really. Give people what they pay for! People work hard for their money and they are giving it to you in exchange for a good meal. And you sure are not providing that. read more

Had an Indian food craving so I decided to order takeout from Chutneys. I ordered the Chicken Tikka, vegetarian appetizer platter, and naan. The portion sizes were great and pricing was very reasonable for the area. The food was flavorful and perfectly spicy for my taste, only issue was everything was very salty. read more

Went for the weekend brunch buffet. Was very happy with the selection and overall quality (for the price.) Some standard dishes (butter and tandoori chicken, korma, naan, dal) and some you wouldn't expect (poached eggs, excellent cabbage slaw, lots of grilled fresh veggies.) There was also lots of desserts, orange juice, yummy dipping sauces, and other items to round out an affordable all you can eat brunch. Service was very good... Was even encouraged to go back for one more plate which i happily did ;) read more

GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS ABOUND INCLUDING, NAAN. Our waitress was knowlegable and familiar with the allergens in the food available. Her service was awesome and considerate. The pricing is great.

Me and my mom had chicken tikka masala and chicken jalfrezi and they were both amazing!

The Chicken Tikka Masala is soooooo good. Order some for takeout and help support them during this pandemic mess.
