What a gem! Found this restaurant near home, thanks to Yelp! We got three dishes; butter chicken, lamb jalfrezi, and jumbo shrimp vindaloo. They were delish! But the one that I like best was the butter chicken. OMG it was bomb! These dishes come with a side of basmati rice. Do yourself a "flavor", go hit this place up! You won't regret it. So much flavor and spice. If you want it spicy, get the vindaloo dish, it starts with 3 stars. This place is flavor central!!! We will come back again, this is best on a cold weather, which we have plenty of that here in Washington. PS: don't forget to check in to Yelp to receive your complimentary dessert of the day! read more

YO... so I've been to my fair share of Indian spots and YUMMMM-- I suppose this is only regarding butter chicken, garlic naan, and veggie samosa but SO GOOD! Like, butter chicken consistency is what my taste buds yearn for, I've had it where it was close to soup-like and of course, it all depends where you go.. but this restaurant is on my list for Indian cravings. I shall be back to explore more of the menu! :) read more

Food was no doubt delicious! I usually get 3 spicy at a lot of places but this 3 was SPICY. But it was good, I do love a little kick sometimes. I'm giving it a 3 because it took her about 30 min to come get our order. Then almost 45 for our food to come out. I understand that staff may be short, or maybe they have a lot of to go orders but it would mean more if that was just communicated rather than just wondering why it's taking so long. We came here cuz There was a lot of good reviews. But the service / communication would be appreciated next time! UPDATE: it's been almost an HOUR for food we ordered while we were eating. What is going on? Food was good but not worth coming back. Being somewhere for almost 3 hours is just ridiculous. 2 stars. read more

This place has some of the most delicious dishes I've ever tasted. My first India cuisine experience was here and when I heard about how spicy you could get the food, I was sold. They have an awesome beer and wine selection also. The first time I ate here I had the butter chicken with some garlic Naan to sop up the sauce 5 stars. OH MY GOD!! I was in spicy delicious heaven. Their chickpea salad is extremely healthy and very tasty. I recommend a Taj Mahal beer with these dishes. I have been back here to try something new and exciting quite often. Everything is prepared here with lots of care and love. I highly recommend trying this restaurant at least once. Great Job to all of the owners and crew read more

-tendori chicken kind of dry and lacking -butter chicken was ok. Garlic naan was super good though I've had Indian food at other places and this place adds a bit too much color? Idk if it's the spices or what but it was a bit too much. read more

I remembered being here when it first opened back a few years ago. The owner (lady server) was very attentive and efficient in taking our orders. Since Third Eye Grill closed, we didn't have much of a choice but to find another Indian restaurant to go to. The 4 & 5 Star Reviews are definitely a factor when we chose the place. I would love to give this restaurant a 5 Star but I'm finding the richness of the sauces a slightly overwhelming. It leaves an aftertaste in my mouth that I'm not completely fond of. The richness seems to interfere with the spices they use for the food. If you're okay with thicker gravy like sauces, I don't think you'll notice it. What we ordered *Stick with mild spice- it's spicy enough* Chicken & lamb rogan josh Butter Chicken- delicious but really rich Malay Chicken- mayo/coconut like really rich sauce., Naan (cheese & chicken) Our entrees came with complimentary rice and Naan. Each entree is prices between $10-15. Service is great but food was on the slow side. read more

Great prices! Worth the drive for authentic Indian cuisine. Generous portions. Take out is always on time.

Signage is small so it's easy to miss this place but best not to make that mistake! Manraj is a gem! Good service, fresh food, and reasonable serving sizes. Flavors were really spot on. read more

I given great reviews and some bad. For me to give a bad review many things have to go wrong. It was busy when we arrived so I figured the food has to be great. A nice hey the food might take more than 20 minutes as a warning would of been nice but honestly I would of went elsewhere with that kind of wait. We sat by 6:30pm and the food didn't arrive until 7:22pm. Almost an hour smh. I was using discord and have timestamps on my messages. Ok I tried to not let it ruin my night because I'm in a happy mood. Moving on to the food...I take amazing food pics and give honest reviews. My tandoori chicken was undercooked and dry like how is that even possible? The "safe" dish was the butter chicken but there was cartilage in it my fiancé had to pull it out his mouth and he eats everything. The rice was good though for anyone interested in the rice. The cheesy naan bread. It was burnt on the outside and the cheese was cold and square in the inside not what I expected. That onion dish was alright. Would I go back? No. Not even for free. Now I'm not in a happy mood. I should of went to the more expensive one in federal way. I rather pay more. I know harsh review but the service was absolutely terrible too. Usually, I don't base a food review on service because it's too different things. I also give second chances and third chances before writing it off. Don't get me wrong I love a hole in the wall but this is.... I don't know how to explain it. Save your money and go elsewhere. I can't even say if you're in a time crunch to go here ‍ I know the owners will read this and act like they want to help to make it better, they can. Close down shop and redecorate because that wobbly table by the window ain't it read more

We went here for a very late lunch/early dinner after a long hike last evening. We were really hungry and were hoping for some great food. Unfortunately, we made rookie mistakes and ignored the tell tale signs. We ordered an appetizers and some entrees but for some reason the first thing to the table were the naans which started to go cold before the actual food arrived. Tandoori Chicken - Extremely dry, under seasoned and flavorless. It was so stringy that you could absolutely tell it had been re-heated from an older batch. Butter Chicken - This was basically orange cream with vegetables and random tiny bits of chicken in it. I have never seen vegetables in a butter chicken and for a second we almost thought it was the veg korma. The dish had no flavor whatsoever. Madras Lamb - The few pieces of lamb that they put in the curry were tough as leather and the curry itself had split. It was probably the worst lamb curry I've ever had. Paneer Korma - This was probably the least of the evils. It was very once dimensional and flavorless and gave my friend a stomach ache but at least it was edible. The food was honestly some of the worst Punjabi food I've had in a while. When you couple that with skimping on meat in meat dishes, only bringing out one portion of rice for four entrees without even offering to bring the others to go and the prices, it's just a recipe for disaster. The server and front of the house were really working hard and I do feel a little bad about us being quite visibly annoyed with the food. They deserve better imho because at the end of the day they face the disgruntled customer. Lesson learned. When a restaurant has a menu the size of a NFL play sheet and the server says everything is special; RUN. Note: In case someone from the restaurant reads this, I would humbly suggest that you reduce that menu size to something much more manageable and then focus on making sure that those dishes are stellar. read more

We order vindalo it was too spicy and no flavor at all. I let the owner know she was so defensive. She's like you order this. I told her I know but there's no flavor 3.5 star I know vindalo is spicy but not freaking taste like hell. Before they're good. Again instead of being defensive, be more courteous to your customer. I know the difference between flavor and no flavor. I'm a chef but this is no flavor and not savory at all. It seems your cook pour tons of cayenne or chili powder. I'm not going back at this place anymore! Instead of returning the food that I order. We decided we're no longer going to go this place! read more

After Shamiana closed, this is now my very favorite Indian food in the entire Seattle/Eastside area. It is well worth the trip from downtown. The curries are expertly prepared, and I've never eaten anything here that wasn't amazing. read more

This is our favorite Indian restaurant! Everything is so delicious and fresh. We get the palak paneer, malai kofta, vegetable pakora, and mutter paneer. So delicious! Very friendly staff. read more

Food- ordered take out a few times. Really enjoyed everything we have ordered. Is it the best Indian food in the world? No, but then I've eaten Indian food in India which is a exceptional. But is it darn tasty? Yup! Will I keep ordering? Absolutely. Notable shout outs: Lamb Korma, Chicken Tikka Masala, Roti. Hint: start reading the menu a good 30 minutes before you plan to order, it's massive. read more

At this time during a covid outbreak, we are dealing with self-quarantining and social distancing. I wasn't able to do anything for my mom on Mother's Day because I was sick (not covid), so I decided to treat her to Indian food, which we have loved since we first tried it almost 30 years ago. First of all, walking into this restaurant, the chef was singing. She can carry a tune beautifully and it really brought up my spirits. I wish I had expressed my appreciation for that when I picked up the food. I ordered Chicken Makhani (Butter Chicken), which is always ordered automatically in our family, Chicken Malai, Chicken Biryani, Baingan Bharta, and Spinach Naan, all at a level 3 spiciness, which were perfectly seasoned in all the dishes. The Chicken Makhani - Rating: 4.5 because it was a little more tomato-y than I like, but the tikka chicken in it makes up for A LOT, so I give it a rating of 4.5. Usually, when I order it, it's made with just regular chicken, but I love the flavor of chicken tikka, so that was a wonderful change. Chicken Malai - Rating: 5 - I'd never tried before; in fact, I'd never seen it on a menu before, so I was interested to try it. It was delicious and I would definitely order it again. This had regular chicken in it, not the tikka, but it was good. Chicken Biryani - Rating: 5 - It was very flavorful. I loved the nuts and raisins in it, and I'd order it again. I really liked the flavor of the chicken in it. Eggplant Bharta - Rating: 3 because although the flavor was good, the eggplant was rather chunky, and I prefer them much more mashed up, almost puréed. I'll probably try a different vegetable next time. Spinach Naan - Rating: 3 - I'm not a big bread person, making me somewhat biased, so while I give it a rating of 3, my opinion shouldn't be taken into account if you're a bread/naan lover. That said, it did seem a little salty and bitter to me. read more

Been at this restaurant multiple times. Good food. Quick service. Convenient location.

I ordered the following dishes from this place: Chicken Tandoori-Half Chicken Malai Garlic Naan. All the dishes seem to lack the basic spices that needed for Indian cuisine. e.g. Ginger, Garlic Cumin and curry powder. Total lack of Flavor. Chicken Malai was excessively diluted with Heavy Cream. Chicken Tandoori had so much red color that it took about 2 days of washing to take it off my fingers(no kidding). I even peeked into their kitchen and saw legit Indians preparing the food. I was expecting Better taste from this restaurant. This place needs a total makeover and re-evaluation of their recipes. I am a local resident and believe in supporting local businesses. read more

This is our favorite Indian restaurant. The Tikka Masala is flavorful with a perfect blend of spices. We eat at least once a week if we can. The service is wonderful too. read more

It was my first time trying this place and it was pretty good! I got saag chicken (which kinda reminds me of warmed up spinach dip) and it was very rich and flavorful. The lamb roganjosh was pretty good too, and they give you a lot of meat in the curry! The biryani was alright, but I feel like it just tasted like rice with onions and meat. We were originally going to get 5 stars but the server thought that it would be too spicy so we ended up getting 3 stars instead which was perfect for the biryani but I'll for sure get 4 or 5 stars on their saag curry or other creamy dishes. The service was nice and overall pretty friendly. If you check in on Yelp they also give you a complimentary dessert and I believe it's some kind of rice pudding. It tastes sweet and cinnamon-y! read more

Their food is always great. We always get the vindaloo or tikka masala. Really great Indian restursunt. Highly recommend.

Omg how to even start. This lovely restaurant is quaint and I have never seen it super busy, which is shocking to me because it is the best Indian food I have ever had. All of their naan are delicious (especially the sweet naan, a personal favorite of mine...if you go definitely order a couple orders to snack on for a couple days after ) I have yet to have a bad meal here and usually try my husbands food and sometimes even our friends when he comes with us. Definitely worth the 30 minute drive to go get the food! Try it out and see how good it is for yourself! read more

Had the goat curry 5 star spice, butter chicken 4 star spicy, and 5 star shrimp curry... all hit the mark on flavor and taste profile of what is defining of an Indian curry. I got the combo naan... you pick and choose the ones you want up to 3... but I think price point wise it's better to go for the one you like otherwise delicious read more

This will be my new go to place whenever we're craving for Indian food! Even my picky daughter approves. She loves the pineapple chicken.

Fantastic food, friendly service. The lamb dishes are the best - everything was perfectly cooked. Nothing dry or overdone and they nailed my and my wife's very different respective spice levels. read more

Awesomely delicious! Everything on the menu is good, great staff, family owned, beautiful waitress. What more could you ask for?

I recently moved to the area and have been searching for a great Indian place. Luckily I found one today! This place has fantastic, authentic Indian food! The only issue I had was that rice isn't included with any entrees. Usually it is standard for plain rice to be included, so I wasnt expecting to have to purchase it separately. The naan also didn't seem very fresh, but I think it was just because I went at an off time. Everything else was incredible and I highly recommend Manraj Palace!! read more

Manraj’s Kitchen - Delicious dinner for two! - Indian Near Me - Auburn, Washington

Bad experience. On one hand the food is good... but if you actually know Indian food know that they do not know the obvious difference between butter chicken and Chicken Tika Masala! We got ours and had same masala and different chicken. When we called and complained, they defended themselves that that is the way they do butter chicken... they use the same masala but use different chicken. That is their standard! There are other Indian restaurants that actually know the difference between their food. Go to one of them! read more

Amazing place!! I have never really tried that much Indian food before, and I was definitely missing out! I got the butter chicken, garlic naan and mango lassi. The butter chicken was great with the rice, but it was delicious when paired with the garlic naan. It was honestly one of the best chicken dishes I've ever tried. You can get it from 1-5 spicy, 5 being the spiciest. I got the three and I felt like it was spicy but not too crazy. I will probably opt for the 4 next time. The mango lassi was one of the better drinks I've tried. I'm honestly not that big of a fan of mangoes, but this was a very delicious and refreshing yogurt drink! I can't wait to come back and try even more of their dishes. If you are planning on having take out, I would suggest ordering over the phone. It's a 25-30 minute wait for the food. read more

Manraj’s Kitchen - Butter chicken and Garlic naan! - Indian Near Me - Auburn, Washington

See my picture? This was the promise of an awesome tomorrow...with amazing Indian food for lunch....right in the middle of my Federal audit at work. My husband and I had dinner here tonight and it was delicious as usual. I had the Shrimp Masala - my regular, which I love - and my husband (aka Flashfire-Asbestos-Mouth Man - maybe he's a superhero?) tried the Garlic Chicken. His was so good (but TOO HOT) that I will get it next time without the crazy five-plus stars. The Masala is such a guilty pleasure, and with naan dipped in the sauce, it's absolutely amazing. They say it's the "usual" Masala sauce, but I don't believe that at all. Family owned and run with friendly welcoming owners. The atmosphere is awesome with the Indian music videos and talk show TV. YUM - GO NOW! P.S. To clarify - yes, we had dinner tonight and ordered take-out for tomorrow lunch. We'd be fools not to. read more

Updating my review to 4 stars. When picking up food no one was wearing a mask. We will not be ordering there anymore until Covid is no longer a risk. They changed their butter chicken (chicken makhani) recipe to include green bell peppers and is usually our go to with any restaurant but here it just isn't it, at $14+ for a small portion I will pass. BUT their chicken malai and garlic naan is so amazing, I can't find my own recipe that comes close to this! When we do resume ordering I will make my chicken makhani at home and order chicken malai from them. Best Indian around. Try the chicken malai! Always good sized portions. Never had an issue with this read more

My son and I LOVE this place!!! The food is always the best! Great flavor/seasoning every time!! We are never disappointed! The front lady who runs the front register is very very nice!

Very good Indian food. Service can be hit and miss, but you'll never be served a bad meal.

This is my go to favorite Indian place. The food is so fantastic. The aloo mutter paneer is to die for. Their naan is always perfect and the mango lassi is beyond delicious. read more

This was very competent all-around. Everything was executed perfectly. I ordered a palak paneer (spinach with paneer) and it was heavenly. The creaminess was exactly where it needs to be - not too much, not too little. The service was also exceptional - not bad for a mom and pop place as they were attentive to our needs. We also tried some veggie samosas which were also perfectly made. Too bad this place is a bit of a drive from our home, but it's almost worth doing the drive just to try the different dishes here. read more

Never been disappointed with anything here and have tried a dozen dishes at least. Our only place we will go for real Indian food.
