Some restaurants just feed you. Others welcome you--and this place does exactly that. We came here after work on a cold, rainy night, and we were more than impressed. From the moment you walk in, there's a warm, family-first energy that feels genuine, not staged. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance: modern cool, yet cozy. It's the kind of space where you can come with friends for a foodie night out or bring family and feel instantly at home. Now, the food--Every dish is authentic. Try the Butter Chicken. Amazing!! The flavors are bold, layered, and unapologetically traditional, clearly rooted in real Indian home-style cooking. The attention to detail is phenomenal. You can taste the care, the spices are perfectly balanced, and nothing feels rushed or mass-produced. This is comfort food with confidence. What truly elevates the experience is the service. The staff are genuinely warm, attentive, and happy to guide you through the menu. There is genuine pride in their food and service. That human touch makes all the difference. And let's talk about the Dubai chocolate--because it deserves its own moment. Rich, indulgent, and absolutely addictive, it's the kind of dessert that makes you pause mid-bite and immediately plan your next visit. A perfect, modern finish to a deeply traditional meal. In short, here you find authentic flavors, a strong family vibe, standout hospitality, and an atmosphere that feels just right. This isn't just a restaurant--it's an experience you'll want to return to again and again. I know I will! read more

Good food, nice decor. I walked in, the only customer on a Saturday night. There was some decent Indian music playing. Followed by the annoying base thump of cRap music. I mentioned this to a very nice waitress. She said she would look into it. The horrible cRap music did not cease. I thought there might have been a language barrier some I walked outside to investigate if there was a some idiot blasting their car stere. I walked back inside. Turns out it was the cook/owner. I requested my order to go and asked to speak to the 'owner/cook". He proudly sent his wife out who was very apologetic. To the cook: Look, asshole. I'm not dropping 40 bucks on Indian food only to endure your shitty music. you own a restaurant, not a shitty club. Be a professional and act like your fsmily livelihood depends on it, because it does read more

Food was overall very flavorful. The Nan was thin, garlicky and it went well with picking up the curry. My favorite would be the lamb. It was cooked well as it had a soft chew. The curry itself was very well balanced with flavors -- not too salty. We came when it wasn't that busy but it did take a bit to come out so service was a little bit slow. But I understand it can take time to make. The vibe is good for family dinners, lunch or just a place to catch up with someone! read more

Indian Bistro - chicken and lamb - Indian Near Me - Kent, Washington

We went here for a casual lunch with my in laws. We had a lovely lunch. We ordered mango lassi, chai, chickpea salad, Tikka chicken, bengan bhurta, yellow daal tadka, roiti and naan. All of our food was delicious! The waitress was a bit overly attentive, but that's better than ignoring us. I did order a dessert to go - milk cake. It wasn't that good and was too expensive for what it was. I would definitely come back. read more

Tried the chicken korma, butter chicken, and goat curry - all flavorful and well-balanced, served with fragrant basmati rice. The bullet naan had a nice kick, and the sweet peshwari naan was a great contrast. The mango lassi was honestly the prettiest I've seen. Tasted homemade too. Inside, the bistro is cozy and charming. Slightly amusing moment: Baby Shark was playing over the speakers... then I noticed the DJ was about 5 years old. Fair enough. Parking is plentiful, but getting into the lot is awkward and the nearby drivers are weirdly aggressive given how close it is to the highway. Still, the food and atmosphere make it worth the trip. Would return for that goat curry! read more

Indian Bistro - Butter chicken - Indian Near Me - Kent, Washington

The restaurant is not clean at all sadly. They had tables that had half eaten plates kept for the entire time we were eating. There were kids that were playing music on full volume on their ipad so much so that we could barely hear us talk. The door at the back was open which made the restaurant very cold. We got chicken 65, paneer kulcha and karhahi chicken which all tasted great but left us extremely bloated. The aaloo tikki chaat was not good at all. Not a good experience at all. read more

First time trying this restaurant after relying on Yelp reviews, and unfortunately it was a disappointing experience. I'm giving 2 stars only because the server provided good service -- otherwise this would've been a 1-star review. I was really looking forward to treating myself, but the food fell far below expectations. I ordered the Tandoori Roti, which should've been soft and fluffy, but instead it was tough, bland, and honestly felt like chewing on greasy cardboard. The Lamb Korma (medium spice) had zero spice at all, and the lamb left a strange aftertaste. The Chicken Biryani was just mediocre. I also ordered a side of Raita in case the food was too spicy, but it turned out to be extremely watery -- and cost $7. I asked for green chilies and was given jalapeños instead. By that point, I had already lost my appetite from the overall disappointment and asked for a to-go box... only to find out they charge for the box too. ‍ A few minutes later, I believe the woman in charge came over and asked if I needed anything else. I said no, and she immediately handed me the bill, mentioning she had something else to do. It honestly felt rushed, like they just wanted me to pay and leave. I also noticed another customer behind me barely touched her food before leaving. For a one-person meal, spending nearly $70 was way too much for the quality and experience. I enjoy supporting small restaurants, but this one ended up being a waste of money, gas, and time. read more

Overall 3 stars and I would recommend this place. I first came across this place by trying the Too Good To Go app. And then I ordered there couple of time there after. Their dishes have good flavor, I enjoyed it. However, their portion is small for how much they charge for entree. With that in consideration, I would not call this place affordable for regular dinining. If they either lower their price or give a bigger portion, I would easily give them 4 stars. However, I'd still recommend them if you don't care about affordability. Oh, I don't recommend getting the Lamb Seehk Kabab. They charge $20+ for a really small portion and they're dried, lack flavor. read more

Did a ToGoodToGo lunch online. Made me a surprise lunch & it was very hot, medium spicy and large portion. It was tiki masala, chicken with an incredible sauce, basmati, rice, and two pieces of Naan. I love Indian food, I've never been to this place, but I'm definitely coming back even if I do have to pay full price read more

I can't say enough about this restaurant. The first thing you'll notice when walking in is how clean and neat it is. I've only ever gotten take away but it's always very clean inside. Their food is SOOOOO delicious. I have had a few dishes from here but todays fish Marsala was out of this world. I love this place so much, they are never bothered by my vegetarian / pescatarian requests and questions. The customer service is always very friendly and service in general is always prompt. This is a place I go about 3-5 times a month and will happily support them. Give them a try! read more

Indian Bistro - Fish Marsala- sorry I ate some before snapping a pic I was hungry and it was SO hot and delicious. - Indian Near Me - Kent, Washington

This place is a hidden gem in Kent. One of the best Indian restaurants I have visited. Food is good ambience is good and service is good (not very fast but their food tastes fresh so I am okay with a little wait). Every time I am travelling through Kent I make it a point to stop here and relish a good meal. The other thing I like about this restaurant is that every time I have visited them with a big group or smaller one they always have tables available. We ordered their kebabs, parathas, lamb dishes, butter chicken, mushroom masala, etc and everything tasted great. Flavors were on point. They have a few beer and wine options as well. They also sell a few indian desserts if anyone wants to buy ( i have not tried that yet). Ample parking available outside the restaurant. Overall I like this place and wish they had one closer in Seattle. read more

We discovered Indian Bristro when they catered the Arya Maha Sammelan and were blown away by the food so we made a point to visit the restaurant, and it exceeded our expectations! Shoutout to Harsh for her warm welcome and excellent service. We were seated immediately and taken care of with genuine hospitality. We tried the Kadai Paneer and Spinach Tandoori both dishes were packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and absolutely satisfying. You can tell the kitchen puts heart into every plate. If you're looking for authentic and delicious Indian cuisine with great service, Indian Bristro is a must-try. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Food was delicious. The star was the Garlic Naan which had a nice chew to it. The Aloo Gobi really rocked the flavor. Excellent dish. The mango chicken and Chicken Tikki Masala were good. Prices for these dishes appear standard except for Aloo Gobi which was about 10 dollars more than anywhere else, however it was an outstanding dish! Naan was about a couple dollars higher than norm but it was super delicious!! Service was prompt and friendly read more

We find ourselves here not infrequently. The food and the service is always very good. On a Friday night after watching a movie, we found ourselves back getting some of our favorite Indian treats. My wife went with just a cup of dahl soup. I cannot hold back... I love to taste so many different flavors from this restaurant. Usually I get a spicy lamb dish, but tonight I went back to an old favorite, the Saag Paneer. This is the first Indian curry I tried and I was hooked. This Saag was delicious with large triangles of the paneer...but I'm getting ahead of myself... I love a good Samosa, these do not disappoint with potatoes, peas, and spices that go great with the chutneys. Ok...back to the main, I ate the Saag Paneer with garlic Naan that I didn't have to share as the kid was at a sleepover. Lol. The whole meal was rounded out with a nice Chai... read more

i am very particular about indian food and very rarely try new places because they simply don't live up to my expectations, having lived in india. i just cannot stomach (pun intended) indian food that is not done well but that unknowing innocent people rave about. so there's a lot of trepidation when i hear people i know insisting we have to try someplace. usually i say no politely and pine away for the flavors of the subcontinent that seem rare in this area despite how many east asians live and work here and would obviously want places they could find the flavors of home. i've tried places on the east side, and some have been great, but i've found nothing super close to where i live that i'd return to....until now! last night my friends ordered take out from here and prefaced it by saying they were very curious whether they were right on the mark when they thought this place was good. they showed me the menu and told me items they've typically ordered in the past. i made suggestions for things i like that they'd never tried. i had high hopes because they don't mess around when it comes to food: they can detect good food and disregard the rest. we ordered take out so i can't speak to the service in the restaurant but my first handful of food, once i had a full plate, proved them correct: this place is EK DAM SAWAAD HAI! my first thought with the first bite in my mouth: this tastes like india! and i hadn't tasted anything this good in years! i stuffed myself. i inhaled everything we ordered and told them we need to make this a regular occurrence because there's plenty on the menu that they haven't explored and i'm excited for more! portions were great and flavors were spot on. next time we're adding rasmalai to our order because it's one of my favorite desserts although truth be told, i've never met an indian sweet i wouldn't wolf down. this was a five star experience for a person who misses dhabas as much as street food, home cooked indian meals as much as restaurants. if you're wondering what authentic indian food tastes like, this is what north indian food is all about! read more

Indian Bistro - take out order - Indian Near Me - Kent, Washington

We wanted to try a new Indian spot and venture out from our usual spots so we found Indian Bistro online. It's a really cute interior, kind of tropical decor with plants, that always wins me over! It was very authentic, our server had a thick Indian accent...I just knew it was going to be good. My husband & kids are big fans of Butter Chicken, that is there go to dish almost every time we eat Indian food, they really enjoyed this dish here. Rich, full of spices & flavorful with tender chunks of Tandoori chicken in a velvety sauce that begs for their crisp yet fluffy naan to be dipped into or ladled over rice. I ordered something very different from my usual order of Tandoori chicken or a lamb curry dish, but it was tasty & I got it with 2 stars so little on the spicy side. Tender chunks of Tandoori chicken stir fried into an Indian fried rice. So good with a squeeze of fresh lime and I took the chicken and wrapped it in the Naan than dipped into the yogurt sauce...so tasty. I can't wait to go back and try one of my usual Indian dishes. read more

Food is very good, possibly best Indian in the immediate area. * Took 15 min to get our food (not busy) * Server ok but not what'd you expect for the price * Brunch specials are mainly breads, no meals * Tables, silverware, napkin holders were cheap, not what you'd expect for the price * Restrooms needs woman's touch * Pricy read more

The food is delicious. My tandoori chicken was tender and beautifully spiced, and my partner's curried fish likewise. The generous portions had us taking some of each dish to go - except the garlic naan, which I couldn't resist eating while it was hot. This was some of the best naan I've ever had. The service was attentive and quick. read more

Delicious food, kind staff! Love this place. The weekend brunch is highly recommended as well as the chaat!!!

This is nice Punjabi restaurant. Butter chicken was fantastic. Lacha parantha could be better as it was skinny. Gulab Janum was delicious too. Overall great taste. Liked the ambience. Nice decor done with cane. Service was great too. Cons-: prices were on higher side. Outside the restaurant didn't looked so safe as there were some ghettos. It's next to Indian or Persian grocery store. Overall I liked the taste. Nice decor with great service. read more

Found this place by chance and I loved every bit. I would give Service(attitude, attentiveness, professionalism, mannerisms), wait-time(being seated and food wait), and food (cost:portion) all 5 stars. We ordered the garlic naan, spinach naan, goat Rogan Josh, chicken tikka masala, veg. Samosa and the basmati rice that comes with the order. We got the spicy level Mild and it was just right for me, however the Rogan Josh was teetering into the medium. Still Everything was delicious, and flavorful! I also enjoyed the atmosphere; there was music but not too loud which is good because I like to hear my company's conversation, and it was dimly lit at night which I also prefer because bright lights are a headache lol. We also ordered desserts: mango ice cream, and pistachio kulfi. Both amazing lol. The mango tasted like actual mangoes and not artificial tasting and the kulfi tasted creamy and refreshing. Great way to tone down the heat lol. Overall they have amazing food and our waiter was awesome I also want to mention something I read in another review, the review stated that they cater to people with light skin and they don't like people who don't look like them (meaning Indian I suppose). However I'm not light skin and I'm not Indian (I'm visiting from Hawaii) and the service was great. Anyways give this place a shot. I'm still dreaming of eating the food and it's been an hour since we left. Haha. read more

First time trying Indian food and it did not disappoint. -Loved the ambience and the decor. - Food is great especially with the varieties of naan: I tried the garlic butter naan fits well with the Chicken Tikka Masala and butter chicken. -Chicken Tikka Masala surprised me though the handmade cheese curd in the curry sauce was surprisingly so unique and tasty. - Tried their mango lassi and it was delicious! -tastes like mango purée. - Tried their ice cream it's not for everybody- because it's has ginger, and pistachio but it has a very rich taste- that you normally don't taste in other ice creams. read more

Outstanding food in an unassuming family restaurant. The classic North Indian dishes are well balanced and spiced to perfection. The naan is crispy, chewy, fluffy all at once. The chaat is authentic, and varied. And the service is attentive snd welcoming. We stopped in for a quick dinner and left without disappointment. Definitely with a trip from anywhere in the Seattle area. read more

I ordered their mango lassi drink. So good ! Very creamy mango yogurt flavor. We ate everything up. All gone ! The service was friendly and polite.

Came here quite early to grab a bite before heading to watch a movie. From ordering to getting served the wait was almost 30 mins+. Be prepared to wait with limited service fora long time when they open at around 11.15ish. The food... Ummm... Let's just say I'm not coming back again. Whilst the service was lackluster, the food tasted bland. My friend and I ordered: Butter chicken (came with a side of boiled rice) Paneer Tikka (from their tandoor menu) Mango lassi Butter chicken, as my friend said was so bland that she was using my mint chutney to liven it up. She's an Indian who knows there taste buds and was not impressed. Also the quantity for the price we spend was bad. The paneer Tikka sizzler was ok ok. It has the sizzle and the paneer was definitely homemade but lacked flavor. Mango lassi was the only saving grace. Yup, not coming back again. You overpay for the service and the food you get. read more

Visited on a Saturday evening for the first time. Lots of parking with businesses nearby. Unfortunately there's some unscrupulous characters wandering the area so be on the lookout. Nice decor and friendly staff greeted us. Ordered vegetarian options with spice level 4/5. The meal was tasty but still lacked the heat level we expected for an Indian restaurant. One young waitress managed the floor efficiently and was very polite. It is a bit on the expensive side but overall a good experience. read more
