The…read morestaff was very kind and there was a decent number of people sitting in the restaurant for a late lunch. Ordered the Chicken Vindaloo, Butter Chicken, and chili onion naan. Each curry came with rice that was nicely fragrant. You get to choose your spice level, so we chose 7/6 for our dishes. I personally could have gone spicier. My favorite was the Chicken Vindaloo. There was so much depth in flavor to the dish and had that addicting taste. The butter chicken was also good (that was ordered at a 6 level spice), but I think because it's creamy, I could have gone spicier. In both curries, there is a decent amount of protein. The naan like the other reviews say is thin, but has a nice crisp to it and is still very good. I'm giving this 5 stars in comparission to other spots in Port Orchard. If it were in an area that perhaps had more Indian food, then I might give it a 4.5. I will definitely be coming back though.

Amazing service, terrible food…read more I was craving some spicy Asian food and creamy curry. I usually go to Thai places, but was feeling an Indian vibe today. I've never been to this restaurant, so I had to try it. I entered and there was only one table occupied. Maybe because it was a Tuesday. The host greeted me immediately and asked me where I wanted to sit. He said anywhere. I really liked that and picked the corner booth. He asked me if I wanted the buffet. I asked him it's cost, in which he relied 20, so I thought I would give it a go. The food was barely luke warm. It made it easy to eat, but I wanted nice and hot food. The food was very bland and americanized. The curry had no coconut flavor or richness. Frankly, it was the worst Indian food I've had in my life. I paid and tipped 5 dollars because the man was very kind. I will never return. Another odd note, no napkins are provided, nor chilli flakes. They would benefit from those.

I am no expert to Indian food as my experience has primarily been through:…read more- Intel/MSFT cafes with an Indian option (which are pretty good IMO) - Event catering by the local Indian restaurant - Cooking vegan Indian cuisine from Rainbow Plant Life on YouTube Occasionally I will go out for Indian food but ultimately I am hesitant due to my Indian colleagues always telling me "they can make it at home better". As someone who does not have access to an auntie, I cannot claim "authenticity" ... but I can claim Butter Chicken Indian Kitchen serves GOOD food, especially for Gig Harbor. LOGISTICS / AMBIANCE Located next to the Harbor Museum, there is some parking at the very front of the restaurant but I imagine it's OK to overflow into the museum parking, especially when it's closed (that's what we did). I suppose this place qualifies as a "hole in the wall" - it's easy to miss off the main road due it being in a smaller building (think like a gas station convenience store). We were able to get a seat for 3 on a rainy Friday night, but I would call ahead for larger groups of 5+ to check seating availability. Despite the small building, it felt cozy without being cramped. They have an extensive menu so I would take time to look through it while you wait for a seat, but the staff are friendly if you have any questions about unfamiliar items. Sure the lighting isn't flattering... but there's a certain "hole-in-the-wall" charm to the place, from the lanterns on the tables to the smell of curry wetting your appetite. FOOD Unfortunately we were with someone sensitive to spicy food and we wanted to share dishes... so my partner and I had to lower the spice level on our dishes. Unfortunately the 2-3 range was pretty mild for our dishes. Though tasty, I would have liked a little more heat so something to keep in mind. Since we had ordered two saucy dishes, we got two servings of basmati rice in a "handi" ( the copper pot) that kept the rice warm. The basmati rice on its own was very good and fragrant; I even found a cinnamon stick in one of the pots! It went really well with two curries. Fish Korma (lvl 3 spice): Of the two curry-esque dishes I tried, this was my favorite. The creamy sauce was super flavorful with a harmonious blend of spices, super tasty on rice or with any of the provided condiments. I seldom see fish as an option but this was a surprisingly great combination. Tandoori Chicken (lvl 2 spice): This was our favorite dish of the night - it may sound basic (you see tandoori chicken at a lot of places) but it was REALLY good. I liked how the chicken was really juicy and had a nice smokey flavor and char from how it was grilled/serves. The hot plate was a nice touch to keep it warm as well! Definitely squeeze a little bit of the lemon to give it refreshing acidity while eating it warm. I do wish we went higher on the spice rating here since it could have benefited from having more kick, but it was still delicious! Dal Makhani (lvl 3 spice): This was our least favorite, but I had some bias since I was expecting this dish to be something else I had before (need to research more about the variations). I was expecting it to be more creamy with flavor, but it felt a lot more like a tomato-forward channa masala w/ lentils. Still delicious, but not what I was expecting. This also felt a little more spicy than the Fish Korma despite having the same spice level. Garlic Naan (1 piece): Always a must have w/ Indian food! I like eating it with the curries and adding on the complimentary chutneys. The perfect side carb (after basmati rice) for the sauces! Strawberry Lassi: This was was a complimentary surprise, as I think the owner/manager came by and provided them at the end of the meal. They were delicious and a great way to end the meal with a sweet treat! Plus the yogurt helps with digestion or appease any lingering spice effects on the tongue. OVERALL Honestly this place exceeded our expectations - pricing may seem a little high but they're actually on-par with other Indian places I've been to in Seattle and the Bay Area. The portions here are generous especially with the rice - so plan on taking home leftovers! We couldn't finish everything between 3 people and we were starving when we arrived. As a former Gig Harbor residence... I remember a time when this was a little restaurant ran by a sweet Australian couple and a killer cocktail menu. That was years ago, but I'm glad another diverse restaurant option has taken up this space in a town with little variety. The service nice and I could definitely see myself checking out this place again when I'm in the area. All in all, if you're feeling adventurous and want to try something different but delicious... check out Butter Chicken Indian Kitchen!

The rice puddings were really big which was exciting for the cheap price, but one bite in I looked at my son and saw the look on his face of dissatisfaction. I told him to bring it to me and we both threw them in the garbage. I also ordered a rose drink for son and it got a few sips from him and I before being poured out. Very disappointing.

We started with the Amara Tacos Cauliflower for an appetizer (as recommended by another yelper here). It was truly tasty and my wife's favorite flavor bomb out of everything. We ordered tequila based drinks - Mango margarita and another with Tajin rimmed (cannot remember the name) that was a little too sweet. I may have ordered a second if it were less sweet. We ordered the Old Munk Drunk Chicken - a little heavy on the spices but delicious and Curried Lamb Confit which was just so flavorful and good. The side garlic naan was the perfect compliment to dip into the confit sauce. Basmati rice came with the meal. Overall, the dining experience was great - attractive dining room (they also have a smart looking bar area) with upbeat background music, perfect portions per price point, attractive plating and friendly service. I would give it a 4.5 as there is some room for improvement, but this is probably Maple Valley's best restaurant right now.
