Not super sweet, however spiced so so well def recommended to have! If you're into chai. They also gave us a complimentary desert that was enough to fill that sweet tooth craving after a savory meal, I believe it was chocolate cheesecake. Thanks!!

so, this place is pretty clearly, and almost objectively so, made exclusively for westerners…read more what i mean by that is that this place serves Indian food that will not attempt to challenge western palettes in any way - rather its goal is to have people walking out with a mildly positive attitude towards the food. if someone were to ask them how the food was, they will say that it's fine and say that indian food is an underrated cuisine. the first indication of this that caught my eye was on the menu, where it was listed that "all spice levels are American standard". The fact that this is on the menu at an *Indian restaurant* is pretty ridiculous, in my opinion. I'll get to the spice levels later The second indication was when the waiter brought out our naan, and said "Here's your naan bread". I almost laughed out loud at this point. Naan bread? Thank god we didn't order chai or he would've said "Here's your chai tea". when we actually got our food, it was as disappointing as I expected Despite the fact that I ordered the 'Hot' spice level (the second highest), this had utterly no spice at all. I know that I have a high spice tolerance, but you know it's not good when other people at my table who have a low tolerance cannot taste any spice whatsoever. I've had hotter dishes ordering the 'Hot' level at American restaurants! In addition to there not being any spice, there was pretty much no flavor at all to the curries. There was just no point to the gravy on both the Jaipuri "Masala" and the Vegetable Kofta, as it both cases it was quite bland and essentially tasted like nothing. The paneer and the kofta were ok - but nothing more than average. Again, the lack of any kind of flavor is just crazy. Our table also got the Biryani, which had decent vegetables but also suffered from a lack of flavor The roti and garlic naan that we got were really hard and difficult to break apart. not very good at all If you're Indian - do not come here - you'll get far better Indian food either a) at home or b) at another place If you're not Indian - I would highly recommend trying another place to actually get a taste of what Indian food is really like. This watered-down version simply isn't it. I would recommend Saffron Grill in Northgate for an example of Indian food done correctly on the positive side, one thing i appreciated about this menu is the customization available for different curries this is especially helpful when it relates to giving options to vegetarians, as it doesn't restrict people who are vegetarian to specific curry options having paneer, vegetables, and tofu options available for each curry is pretty good i also thought the spinach naan was pretty good. out of all the bread we ordered, it was the only naan that managed to be soft, and easy to pull apart the spinach inside tasted pretty good as well the complimentary samosas (although clearly reheated from frozen) and sweet at the end was a decent touch the portion sizes were also decent - the amount of rice that came with the curry was pretty significant

From crispy dosas to flavorful sambar, curd rice, and even traditional dishes like curry dosa, you can really tell they focus on maintaining real South Indian flavors. And I have to mention their crab curry was absolutely delicious! Rich, spicy, and full of flavor... definitely one of my favorites. The vibe is simple and welcoming, perfect for family dining or casual outings. If you're in Seattle or nearby areas like Bothell/Bellevue, it's worth the drive.

It was still quite yummy. We also came here for their Wednesday Night tiffin buffet. Everything we had was good but I don't know if I would go back again for that particular thing. All vegetarian and all seemed similar in taste. I did like the Dosas that came out but we didn't get much because they were a little swamped so they only came around once in a while. It was also a little hard to understand what was included and what we can eat. Quite busy. The service is friendly but not fast, esp. when they are busy and they often are. You just have to be very patient when you are here.

They have Indian beer you can take to go (~$11 for large bottle)along with a variety of wines. The facility was very clean and when someone left, staff was quick to wipe the space down. They can host large parties and it was spacious enough for someone to read a book in the corner table. Highly recommend and will be making my way back again to try other dishes.

Has some heat but not too spicy. Others in my group ordered a few things with nice presentations. There's a veggie stir fried rice/noodles that was sizzling in a ball of cabbage leaves, and the shrimp dish is served in a wooden boat container. Both of those tasted good too. Overall paid $29 with tax and gratuity. Hits the spot after a day of hiking in the mountains.

The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, and I noticed a lot of people were ordering takeout online while we were there. Food Portion sizes were fair for the price, and they offer many vegetarian and vegan options. Highly recommend getting the garlic naan with any dish. Foods tried: Garlic naan - Hot and fresh, slightly crispy with a nice savory flavor. Samosa appetizers - Comes with two, but they are pretty large and very filling. Chicken tikka masala - Served in a deceptively large portion and very savory. Lamb biryani - Kind of like their version of fried rice, served with a mild yogurt sauce on the side. Service Servers were friendly. The only downside was that the food took a little while to come out, but the wait was worth it. Overall I've been here twice already and will definitely be back again. The food I've tried so far gives me confidence that you can't really go wrong ordering anything off the menu.

Unfortunately this place has really gone downhill compared to 3 years ago when I first started…read moregoing. The portions have gotten smaller while the prices have gone up, the lamb is very tough and fatty and no longer tender, and the spice level is not what it used to be. I used to order a spice level 5 and barely be able to eat it, now I order a 7 and almost asked for hot sauce on the side because it tasted like a 1. I love the chicken 65 but it is now less than half of what I used to receive. The server was nice but walked away mid order to answer the phone, it just felt off. The restaurant is clean. In today's economy there's just not enough value for me and I won't be visiting much anymore.

I liked their presentation as well - the box in which the samosas were given was a cardboard box with Seattle samosas written on it. The samosas had a stamp on the bottom to help distinguish which samosa we were consuming. The chutneys - green and tamarind were in sachets. The green one felt super garlicky - not a bad thing for garlic lovers, was just too much for us. Ambience was fun too - we did a take out but hope to be back and enjoy their food inside.

Parking can be tight on the street, so we appreciated the reasonably priced lot behind the restaurant. We started with drinks and then shared a wonderful mix of dishes: * Butter Chicken (one at 1 star spice, one at 2 stars) -- both flavorful and comforting * Black Pepper Shrimp -- perfectly cooked, and the green string beans were so delicious we all raved about them * Chutney Pesto Pasta -- recommended by our server, Gary, and I was very pleased with it The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with booths along both sides that made it easy to hear each other and enjoy the conversation. If we lived in Seattle, we'd definitely return. Great food, friendly service, and very reasonable prices. A lovely find.

The tacos were also good - we tried the paneer and really liked the guacamole paneer combo. Portions were reasonable, especially if sharing a few dishes. Also tried the chai espresso martini, which was nice. The inside of the place is a bit upscale but also feels like a good place for a casual night out. Service is quick and attentive.
