Honestly this place is great for a small snack anyway. We got the bhel puri (not pictured) and a lamb kebab roll. It was my first time ever having bhel puri and I liked it! I enjoyed nibbling on the rice puffs but found that I needed a protein or else I would get flavor fatigue. We ended up placing a second order for the lamb kebab roll, which was AMAZING. Lamb is already my favorite protein so I knew I was going to like it, but I didn't expect it to be so good. It was very well seasoned and even a little juicy. I wouldn't say I have a small appetite, but I found this one roll to be a perfect portion for lunch. Service: (5/5) It's a very casual spot so you order at the counter and bus everything yourself. They're very nice, no other notes needed!

We ordered garlic naan, papadum, butter chicken, baingan bhartha, and chutneys. Butter chicken is perfect amount of creaminess and tanginess. It uses thigh meat, which I prefer as the meat is less likely to be dry. The chutneys came with tamarind chutney, carrot achar, and mint chutney. Great to accompany your biryani, rice and curries, samosas, and pappadum. The mango lassi was also great! Everything seemed reasonably priced and I was very happy with my experience. The staff were very sweet. I loved the music playlist in the background and the colorful art on the walls. The restaurant was very clean when we went, and I can always appreciate a clean bathroom when I come across one! I definitely recommend this place to you and your friends!

I ordered it mild and it was just perfect. There was plenty of chicken in the sauce, and I finished it all with just a hint of a feeling like I ate too much. The garlic Naan was also some of the best I've ever had. It has wonderful flavor, and yet was so light it almost melts in the mouth. The pricing is more than reasonable for what you get. Garlic Naan and Butter Chicken with a coke ran me about $36 bucks. The inside was very clean, quiet and inviting. I suspect they may do a lot of take out business though as it was almost deserted during the lunch hour. Speaking of lunch, my only wish list here would be that they had a lunch menu available. Eating this much food in the middle of the day makes it easier to feel like taking a nap than to go back to work.

Service started off very odd, but gradually improved. The Jaljeera was a satisfying mocktail, I…read morejust could've done without the cumin. The cumin gives a butter chicken after taste that I didn't care for. My favorite starters were the kale pakora chaat (almost like a crunchy kale salad; loved the addition of the grapes) and keema ghotala (basically lamb sliders with grounded lamb). Super surprised that I wasn't mad at the methi paneer; it almost didn't taste like cheese. The Connaught butter chicken wasn't special. The kalmi grilled lamb chops and the mutton ghee roast were okay. My favorite dish was the alleppey fish curry, which made everyone start eating my food. Everything was flavorful, just not necessarily my favorite food.

We made the bread at home and had leftover food for a few days. The food quality though - was okayish, don't get me wrong - food was good, its just that it was quite oily - we could see oil floating in the dal makhani and allo baingan and kadhai paneer that we ordered. I appreciate the efforts in making the food taste good but with the amount of oil seen, I don't know for certain if I will want to order from here again. Again, food tasted good - my problem was with the amount of oil added.

Well better late than never I guess as we finally made it here and simply loved the food! I got my favorite when it comes to Indian cuisine which was the Chicken Vindaloo. It was wonderful! Steve liked his dish as well (though I can't quite remember what it is)! We got some Garlic Naan to go along with our meal. It was huge! But we chowed it down and loved every moment of it! From the bar which I think is called the Yeti Bar we got some Saffron infused cocktails. The one I picked was the Madras. It wad very good and this type of vodka added a great, unique dimension to the cocktail. We loved it! We to finish off this great meal we got some dessert with some deep fried goodness along with some cream. Yes, we had a fantastic meal here and really went all out by trying everything. Steve and I can't wait to come back and doing it all over again.

It was a definite sign to stop in when I ended up with a free parking spot right out front from the entrance (2/25/26). It sure was busy coming up on 11pm. Business hours vary. During this visit, closing time was midnight, sometimes it can be 2am or longer. All depends on kitchen and front counter staffing and there can be a cutoff for onsite dining and just takeout is available. Buzzer can be used by the counter to request service to place your order. Hand held buzzers are used and corresponding order numbers are also called out when orders are ready. The dining room was mostly full and several other folks were awaiting takeout and delivery orders. There's a variety of seating 2 and 4 tops and tables can be easily pushed together to accomodate for groups. There's counter seating facing The Ave, as well as, reservable study & meeting rooms off to the side. Some tables could use a wipe down and the carpets could use a roomba, but it's a totally chill, no frills establishment. Overhead music was loud Indian rap. The Homie ordered a Masala chai, Jaipur Masala fries, and Butter Chicken with basmati. He's dined here while on campus several times and this is one of his go to combos. I ordered also a Masala chai and bone-in Goat Biryani. First visit for me and it was a rare culinary epiphany. The bone-in Goat Biryani was generous, flavorful, and had lots of succulent meat. It was not gamey either. It was delicious to suck out the marrow from one piece. This was outstanding and beat out the other two times I've had this at a shuttered spot on Broadway on Capitol Hill and another spot in Milwaukee. I kept talking about this entree driving home and I'm thinking about it again as I type out this post two days later. The unsweetened chais were evidently molten and the fries took a tumble. But replacement plain fries were provided at the end as takeout. Too bad a tray was not provided or available for use to carry the multi part order to our four top, just saying.

Not the best experience here. To be fair I ordered a To-go. However when I reach the place it was…read morepretty empty - IIRC just one table was occupied. I was planning to take it with me while on my home (maybe an hour away given public transport) - however was hungry by the time order was ready. So asked politely if I can use one of the table to eat. The server/cashier said no right away. Which is fair - well within her rights but this place also appear to be a self service spot. I am not expecting to dine in here or use any utensils or cutlery. Just eat a burger. Anyways the burger itself was at best average. It wasn't bad - pretty edible but was smaller compared to other joints. There is a reason why Burger and Kebab hut despite having questionable hygienic standard is tough to beat for Indian Style Burgers. Talking about the ambience - the place is pretty nice. Good siting space and I liked the Rickshaw exhibition.

The kind where the food is comforting, the people are kind, and everything feels just a little more peaceful. The butter chicken is warm and rich in all the right ways, the biryani is full of beautiful, layered spices, and the naan is soft, fresh, and perfect for sharing. You can tell each dish is made with care. The team here is thoughtful and welcoming, and they make sure you have everything you need without ever making you feel rushed. That kind of service stays with you. And being so close to the Seattle waterfront makes it even nicer. It's a lovely place to enjoy a meal and slow down for a moment. If you're looking for Indian food in Seattle--especially around Westlake--this is a place where you'll feel right at home. I'll be back, and I think you might want to be, too.
