Needs some improvement to bring the food quality up! - claypot parotta with chicken is served only during dine in and comes in a hot claypot covered with banana leaf and inside it contains alternating layers of parotta and chicken curry. It was delicious - chicken lollipop is something we don't get often here and this dish was good. I just hoped it had little more salt. - butter milk or salted lassi was fresh and delicious. - Dosa with chicken curry - while the dosa was good, the chicken curry was not good. I didn't feel it right and also when I ate later at home. This combo does not come with chutney and when asked for it, I was given a cold, refrigerated chutney which tasted awful. . Super friendly folks who are ready to serve you some unique dishes.

It's a…read moresmall place with limited seating, this location has had multiple South Indian restaurants, none of which have worked for long. We got Egg Omelette, Chicken Lollipop, Mutton Liver Roast, Chicken Kothu Parotta, and Idiyappam With Chicken Curry. We liked the Egg Omelette, Chicken Lollipop and Chicken Kothu Parotta were okay. We didn't like the Mutton Liver Roast. Chicken Kothu Parotta and Mutton Liver Roast were very greasy. Idiyappam With Chicken Curry was good, this was the only item that was good. Overall, a bit of a disappointment.

Staff waited patiently and were generous with their recommendations and with their time. Food was great. We ordered 4 appetizers: spinach chaat, choti matar ki Kachori and aloo chaat and farreh. Spinach chaat was outstanding as was aloo chaat. Farreh is an acquired taste so if you like dry doughy textured appetizers then this one is for you. On the main course front: the sapkahita stood out. The lithi choka was a bit with some of us but a bit of a miss for me. I found it too spicy for my taste (but received fair warning from our server in advance). Dessert: 4.5 stars for the Jalebi. Cooked in ghee and made fresh and served warm with Rabri. It was so good, I took another serving to go! Definitely a place to go to f you're in the Seattle area!

We ordered all the festival specials, and everything arrived surprisingly quickly. Each dish was beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and absolutely delicious. The quality was consistently excellent across the board, which is something Banaras continues to do exceptionally well. Dining here is always a great experience, and this festival was no exception. The Kashi specials were a true delight for the taste buds, and we're glad we had the opportunity to try them. Highly recommended!

There was decent flavors too. My only issue is the price. I'm won't be picking up food here anytime soon as I don't think the price is fair or accurate. I find this to be a running theme with one off family run businesses who have no experience or background in pricing. It's pretty clear that they don't bother doing enough market or competitive research. Instead they charge whatever they want. Until there's common sense prices I'm going to keep looking. I do recommend this place, please check them out if you can afford it because the food is great.

I honestly think they hate it when someone wants to eat in the restaurant. From a "server" who tossed plates and disposable flatware onto our table, to the "specials" that were the most expensive items on the menu, the place is not a warm or welcoming atmosphere for a lunch. The food tasted good but the health department warning on the door, indicating multiple serious cleanliness issues, makes me concerned for the potential aftermath. I'd advise against this establishment.

Superlative sambar and great masala dosa!…read more Sad to see the many negative reviews of this place from years past, because on our visit in May 2024 the masala dosa and sambar combo we got were expertly done, and the copious servings were so tasty that we asked to meet the kitchen chef. He had recently come from India after doing a course in hotel management and obviously knew his craft very well. What a shame that this restaurant has earned such bad reputation. We were the only in-house diners on a Sunday at brunch time when neighboring Indian restaurants were full of customers. Multiple chutneys, potato and pea masala inside the dosa, and especially the stellar sambar will definitely make me a repeat customer here. The variety of dosas is pleasing and they have a range of other tiffin style south Indian entrees. Sometimes going off the beaten track and outwitting the Yelp algorithms are beneficial. We had a nice warm chat with the chef and he gave us samples of other things he had made because we told him his sambar was superlative (it really was). Altogether we had a warm, homely, non-capitalistic dining experience in the sanitized corporatocracy that is Bellevue. This was a priceless experience.

You're in an old food court with people reading books they just bought from half priced books, there's a live band called the "Criminal Squirrel Orchestra" singing their experimental folk indie in matching hot pink tees thanking the audience for putting up with them after each song lol, and all the restaurants has that "Global Village Coffeehouse" aesthetic (look it up you'll know what I mean ). The old navy and Barnes and nobles have their old logo, there are middle aged artists and craftsman tabling their handmade pottery, quilted aprons, or homegrown beeswax, an extremely worn out play area with children running around, you can see people on computers at the library which is connected to the food court? and kids riding on those kiddie car rides that rock back and forth... everything was pure nostalgia and it's all preserved here in Bellevue. Anyways the food was amazing; I didn't know what half the menu items were but I trusted google reviews for this one and the portions and range of flavors did not disappoint. James at first was hesitant because it was all vegetarian but everything was so flavorful, had so many textures we didn't even think about craving meat. There is something for everyone at this food court and there's even a Dick's just beyond the parking lot.

Prices are also cheaper here than the food truck setup in South Lake Union.

Unfortunately, there was no option to specify the spice level for the paneer masala side dish, despite the restaurant description highlighting customizable spice levels as part of its offering. Because I have health-related dietary concerns, I called the restaurant immediately after placing the order to request a mild spice level. The staff member who answered was initially unable to locate my order, even after I spelled out the name multiple times, which significantly delayed the process. My husband later called and was able to get someone to find the order, but when I called back again to confirm the mild spice request, I was told it was too late to make any changes. I also had an earlier issue when I accidentally went to the wrong location and called for assistance. Rather than providing the Bellevue location's direct number or helping redirect me, I was placed on hold multiple times, which added to the inconvenience. While the food itself was excellent, the customer service and ordering experience were disappointing. Since the Yelp/ DoorDash ordering flow does not allow customers to specify spice preferences for certain items, I expected more flexibility and consideration when I called immediately after placing the order with a reasonable health-related request.
