They don't know how to make naan, while the other Indian bread seemed like reheated from frozen. Ok may not have been frozen, but yeah made "earlier" and reheated. The only saving grace was the curry which was on the spicier side. They have the space, it could be better - but they have to hire better staff who know how to work in restaurants. Can quickly go downhill otherwise. Good for pickup, not great for dine in. The music playing in the background was too loud while the staff was busy watching the TV screen rather than asking whether the customer needed anything else or how the food was. Summarizing a restaurant run by people who don't know how to run a restaurant. Given the dismal quality of Indian food in a 20 mile radius from here is the only reason it gets a 3 star. Otherwise would have been a 2 star. I'll pickup next time I feel like going here. Till then just forced to use other restaurants except when I crave Indian food. Sad state of affairs. But worth checking out once - to pickup.

This is one of the best Indian restaurant experiences I've had in recent memory. I picked this…read moreplace for an after-work dinner based on strong reviews, and it delivered. The dining room was clean and uncomplicated, with understated decor and an enchanting aroma of balanced spice. The menu here is a tome- while they're halal and vegetarian friendly, it's pretty clear they have all the meats halal allows... the usual chicken, beef, & lamb, but also mutton, goat, fish and shrimp. The first two pages are all different Mandi, or meat platters (there are vegetarian options), and then it goes on... soups, salads, classic entrees by ingredient and style. Then there's extras- biryanis, Indo-Chinese, and of course desserts. My coworker and I got a mixed grill and a chicken curry with garlic chili cheese naan and a cucumber salad. We asked for medium spicy. Everything was well prepared and expertly spiced, from a surprise sharp chili note balancing the sour tang of the yogurt in the cucumber salad, to the naan that had a welcome note of butter. The mixed grill was well prepared and the simple chicken curry was the surprise star... deep and rich, perfect over rice. The service was attentive, and it took a bit for the entrees- this isn't fast food. But the waiters and host were gracious and let us linger and finish our conversation past closing time, and let us try their rice pudding. All in all, this is the first Indian restaurant I've been to in a long time that didn't need to prop up their offering with a buffet- the entrees were compelling in their own right without having an array of choice. The bill was reasonable, and all in all we had a great time. I'll be back, and next time I'll try a mandi and ask them to dial up the heat on the curry, since they're fairly conservative with the spice levels. Judging from the well-mixed crowd in the place, they've probably got good reasons. Recommended!

We got takeout from here. A single order of the tandoori chicken mandi and the Gobi 65 appetizer…read more The Gobi appetizer was so disappointing. It didn't taste like "Gobi 65" just some chunks of cauliflower dipped in batter and smothered in some random reddish sauce. Worse than that, the batter inside ie around the florets was gloopy and pasty. They need to figure out how to do this right. The star of the show was easily the tandoori chicken - juicy, tender, and succulent - there stars for this. The rice was nice. I requested for mild spicy and it wasn't spicy at all which was great. However, the white sauce they have with it was actually over-whipped mayo which was a strange choice with this dish; wouldn't raita have been better? The brown sauce was also not appetizing. Flavor-wise, I would easily opt for a biryani vs this dish. Plus from a value for money perspective, mandi is easily more expensive even for a single portion. It feels like it's a big tray when you pick it up, but the layer of rice inside is pretty thin with only 3 pieces of chicken. Probably not worth a repeat visit unless I only want their tandoori chicken.

I really miss Walnut Grille, but still thoroughly enjoyed this new concept, Shiva's Kitchen! I came…read morehere recently for the first time when I heard that they were serving some of Walnut Grille's most beloved items. We started the meal with Gobi Manchurian, which was always a standout item and still very much is. I am obsessed with the tangy sauce in the perfectly crisp, well battered and fried cauliflower. We also got some pakoras, which were just as wonderful in taste and texture. The lentil soup was well seasoned and well spiced and very hearty. The dosa was a winner in its lovely flavor, but sadly lacked in not having enough filling. I also really enjoyed the yogi bowl in having very fresh and tasty veggies with wonderful sauces and a marinated tofu. The presentation was elegant. The restaurant itself had a great vibe and very little felt different from Walnut Grille. There are a variety of tables and booths to choose from. The service was friendly even though it was on the slower side. I was bummed they didn't have any vegan desserts available, despite it being listed on the menu. Parking is very easy in the attached lot behind the restaurant.

I'm always happy when new Indian restaurants open up as it's one of my favorite cuisines. I was…read moreespecially happy when Vaanga opened in Bellingham as the area needs more Indian places. The restaurant itself is counter service with a large and varied menu. I like that they had some Indian beverages to choose from as I've been a huge fan of Limca for a while now. Otherwise I ordered the vegetable samosa, chicken saag, and chili cheese naan. I found the price point ($40 for all of the above) to be reasonable but not outstanding. The saag did come with a hefty portion of rice which I appreciate. The food itself was fine. The samosas were clearly premade and I found the accompanying sauce to be a little sour. Saag is my go to at every new Indian restaurant. This one was also just fine. It may be preference but I like my saag to be creamier and have a fresher spinach flavor than Vaanga's had. The chicken was plentiful but in especially large chunks which made cutting it hard to do. Not a huge fan of the chili cheese naan either. They were oily with barely any cheese- they felt more like a cheese quesadilla from Taco Bell. I always give restaurants second chances and I appreciate that Vaanga opened in such a varied location but I'd like to try some other things on the menu to see if I like them more.
