    My go to spot for Indian food. I really enjoy the chicken tikka masala, paneer anything, water. We also tried these nepalian dumplings and I loved them. I just have a good time here. The service is good as they bring you food simple as that. No need for some fake laughs, just put the food down! Ambiance is what it is but overall I have been like 8 times at this point?

    Friendly staff, excellent tasting food, quick service, and very relaxing environment with good Indian music. The space was simple and laid back. Wish the naan bread was larger in size but they made up for it with good rice portions. Chicken tandoori was good and the servicer was very kind and patience with us.

    Chicken Vindaloo with naan and raita.

    Great food here! Service was spot on. Restaurant could be a bit cleaner but it is what it is. Food is worth it!

    Chicken curry masala

    We've been a few times to Royal Everest and are glad to have a good Indian spot locally. The appetizers are good and we love the different varieties of Naan. Our go to are the chicken curry masala and butter chicken. Delicious!

    Vegetable kofta
    Teresa M.

    Absolutely lovely addition to Burien! I arrived shortly after opening on a Saturday and was promptly greeted. Our server spoke very, very softly, but thankfully we were the only ones in the restaurant. On a busy evening I'd really struggle to hear him. I like that they took the guess work out of the spice level and explicitly state that it's Americanized. I opted for some veggie kofta, 4 stars. I wish I went with a 5, when they say Americanized they're not kidding! Garlic naan, of course, which was overall quite good. My dining partner is new to Indian cuisine and went with the chicken tikka masala, which was well received. They brought out a single plate of rice and let us know they'd be happy to bring more when needed. I washed it all down with a mango lemonade, which was delightful! While I was here 5 or 6 other people came in for pick up, all Caucasian, though they already straight up tell you it's Americanized and not authentic, so I suppose I'm not surprised. Overall I enjoyed my lunch, plenty of leftovers and I got my money worth, and I'd happily eat here again.

    Chai Mill Tea & Rice Pudding.  Yum.

    Wow. I was new to Indian food, and while visiting my daughter and her BF, I, my BFF and "the kids" went to this amazing place. Delicious food. Tandoori Chicken, Coconut Curry Chicken (my fave), and other things I cannot remember the names of. I have had store-bought Naan many times, but their homemade Garlic Naan is heavenly. Fluffy with a little bit of crunch. SO delicious! For dessert, I got some gorgeous Chai Milk Tea and Rice Pudding, which is not like any I've had before. Their Rice Pudding is a but thinner, with pistachios and raisins. I absolutely went nuts over it. We all did! The wait staff was very friendly. I can see why my daughter and her boyfriend are in love with the place!

    49. Tikka Masala (chicken) - 2/5 stars [unappealing pinkish color (likely from dye), tad too sweet, not creamy enough]

    Service is very attentive. Food was just okay in my opinion but the people beside me kept raving about how this place is the best in Burien. If you have an itch for nepalese/indian food this place will certainly scratch that itch; but better can be found if you're willing to drive to the Eastside. (My current preference is Turmeric Kitchen).

    Really pleased with our (party of two) first experience at this restaurant! We happened to be in the area, and in the mood for this type of cuisine, and Yelp led us here. The Tikka Masala (chicken) and Jalfrezi (fish) were both tasty, and the Garlic Naan was very good accompaniment. Our friendly and attentive server, Mohammad, brought us some more White Basmati Rice, just when we needed ( the original serving size was on the small side for two). We might try the Non-Vegetarian Dinner for Two next time. There will definitely be a next time. It was not hard to find nearby parking, despite the bustling dinner scene on this Burien street. We will be back to Burien too. Lots of interesting-looking eateries there.

    The BEST Indian food in Burien and Normandy park and Des Moines! Not just Indian food, also Himalayan They don't deliver but Uber eats will get you the food. The restaurant is very basic and no thrills but nice service. I wish they would up their game there but it's fine. I'll add some photos next time I eat there or order.

    I recently visited Indian Bite with a friend and walked away with a mixed, but ultimately…read morethoughtful impression. Let me start with the service, because it deserves recognition. Our server was attentive, present, and genuinely eager to learn and provide a good experience. There was a level of effort there that you don't always see, and I can confidently say there was nothing negative about the service. Now, the food. We started with the Cauliflower Manchurian appetizer, which was the standout of the night, beautifully spiced, well-balanced heat, and exactly what you expect when you go out for Indian cuisine. It delivered flavor and depth. We also enjoyed our Garlic Naan. For our entrees we ordered Prawn Malai Curry and Chicken Saag. The prawns were clean and cooked properly, but the dish overall felt under-seasoned and lacked the heat and boldness typically associated with Indian food. The chicken itself was moist and cooked well, but presentation was noticeably different from the menu photos. The saag, in particular, was more of a purée rather than the textured spinach shown, which was a bit disappointing from a visual and expectation standpoint, And again, it lacked the bold, heat generally associated with Indian Cuisine. Where the experience struggled most, however, was the ambiance. The restaurant felt unusually quiet. ((It was a Thursday Evening around 6pm)) We were one of only two tables dining, and the overall atmosphere came across as somewhat uncomfortable and, at times, a bit eerie. The exterior signage also doesn't align with the cuisine; it gives off more of a fast-food or taco truck impression rather than an inviting Indian dining experience. Additionally, the gold-toned plating and utensils felt more distracting than elevated. The finish appeared worn and tarnished, which unfortunately had the opposite effect of what was likely intended, as it felt more gaudy than refined. Overall, we did have a good experience, largely due to the service and a few highlights in the food. However, the restaurant is still finding its footing. From what I understand, they've only been open about six months, and it shows. With some strategic adjustments, especially in ambiance, branding, and consistency between menu presentation and actual dishes, this place has real potential. I hope the owner takes the opportunity to refine these areas, because there is something here worth building on.

    June 16, 2026 3pm , dinner with daughter FOOD: 2*…read more Our dinner featured East Indies dishes, but the flavors were unfortunately mediocre and lacked the authentic, vibrant spices I expected, compared to our usual spot We wanted to explore other options but will not be returning. At least we gave it a try. SERVICE : 3* Our waiter was kind of rude when I asked for a bigger table because we were planning on ording a few dishes. He sat us on a two seater table, which is smaller and I asked for a four seater table. Hardly that much people there anyways. There were tons of available tables at that time. He pointed out that was for 4 people but the place was empty! Only one other table was occupied and the rest were open. AMBIANCE : 3* Beautifully designed and colorful. However, there were assemble stickers still on the plant that was by our table. The bathroom mirror was dusty. Don't cleaning people see these dust and wipe down the mirror? If y'all can't see these minor details? I wonder how the kitchen in the back really looks like?

My husband and I ordered a few dishes. The ingredients seemed decent, but the rice had no salt at all, and the kebab wasn't tasty. The garnish on the plate wasn't prepared well either big chunks of onion, cucumber, and tomato, not nicely cut. The stew also didn't have much flavor and wasn't good. Honestly, when food isn't seasoned properly from the start, adding salt later doesn't fix it. We didn't enjoy our meal. Also, we tried calling the servers (both the guy and the lady), but they didn't respond. In the end, my husband had to get up and ask for bread. They still forgot, and near the end of our meal the waitress walked by and said, Oh, you wanted bread?

I kept thinking about the explosion of flavors as this is the first time I tried pani dahi, little puff balls filled with masala potato in a flavorful yogurt based sauce with plenty of delicious toppings. I enjoyed their goat and lamb biryanis with parathas, the masala burgers, kesar mango ice cream smoothie. What makes Urban Tapri special is the passion and hard work behind the food. I said hello to the chef, very kind man. The owner is also very kind. This family-run restaurant brings the kind of authentic Indian flavors that you often have to travel to India to experience. Outside is humble looking but the food is excellent, the prices reasonable, and it is truly a special place in our community. A true tapri, I would say. Highly recommended.

If there was any communicating to be done, she would call from India TO the kitchen that was like 3 feet back to ask the chef (ie for boxes etc). It was certainly an experience. Food wise- we got the samosa (5/5), the garlic cheese maggi (husband had it but was not really impressed plus it came out in a plastic box which he wasn't happy about), I got the "masala maggi" which also came out in plastic and honestly didn't taste much like maggi and didn't taste that good overall, and I got the Chole batura which actually was really good (5/5). Would recommend the place if you're in the SeaTac area but probably wouldn't come out to eat here if I'm not in the vicinity.
