Excellent Indian Street food with equally excellent service!…read more We ordered the chicken tikka roll and aloo tikki chaat. Both were bursting with flavor with heat level mild enough for those who tend to shy away from heat. I especially loved the aloo tikki chaat and found it to be the PERFECT balance of savory, sweet, spicy and tangy flavors. Their chai is made from scratch and topped off my meal nicely. Service was very friendly and helpful with my many questions. We tend to eat a lighter lunch and found the sharing the aloo chaat and eating our own wrap was just the right amount.

Everything was tasty, but the murg makhni was definitely the standout for me, which was very comforting. The garlic naan was a great side to go with the curry, and the lamb tikka was solid too. Since we got takeout, we didn't spend much time on the atmosphere, but the staff was polite when we ordered and the food was ready quickly, which I always appreciate. Overall, a solid Indian spot and I'd recommend it, especially for the murg makhni!

We were greeted right away by a very nice guy that was very attentive the entire time. We aren't very experienced with Indian food so had a lot of questions!

The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated, the background music was nice and low and the service was great, perfect for a lunch stop. Would like to come back and try the dinner entrees, they're probably pretty good if the lunch buffet was that nice!

I can't wait to explore more dishes on my next visits (but puri will always be in my order in-person). I will happily drive past 2+ competitors to eat here.

The owners also had incredible house made hot sauces and they were proud to share they were using authentic ingredients. The star of the show was Sahlab dessert beverage, which a milk drink made with delicate flavors of orange blossom water, rose water, and mastic, topped with cinnamon, coconut, and nuts. I'm so glad we gave this place a try and supported a family owned business. We'll be back for sure.

There are plenty of tables to sit at or we witnessed several people order food to-go as well. We chatted with the owner and her family who were super friendly and kind.

There are so many options for food at the Ballard farmer's market but I can totally understand why this spot usually has a long line. I would definitely come back to get another dosa!

I'm not sure what happened on my last visit as the curries were on the colder side. When you arrive parking can be a bit difficult, there is a small parking lot out front, if that's full you'll need to find street park. The restaurant itself feels warm, casual, and bustling. Queen you walk in you have the option to sit on the backyard patio or in the dining room. We opted to sit in the dining room as it just felt more intimate and the vibe we were wanting for dinner. For our appetizer, we started with the Samosas (Two crispy pastries filled with your choice of freshly mixed vegetables or delicately spiced lean ground beef) which were excellent. Next we ordered the garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, and butter chicken. The naan and samosas showed up piping hot but the chicken tikka masala & butter chicken were cold. I probably should have said something as I was disappointed but was too hungry to care at that moment. If I'm in the Seattle area I may stop by Taste of India again.

Finally! A good Indian restaurant in Seattle proper! We ordered the Curry Leaf Chicken biryani,…read moresaag paneer, samosas and garlic naan. Everything was phenomenal. There were quite a few items on the menu we weren't familiar with and the table next to us could see we were overwhelmed with the choices, so they suggested we had to order the curry leaf chicken and we wouldn't be disappointed. They were right! I love saag paneer so I get that everywhere, but this was one of my favorites, the flavor was perfection. Everything was flavorful and well spiced, with a bit of a kick even though we ordered some items mild, but everything was so delicious you had to power through the heat. Service was great. Our waiter was very patient with us and explained the different biryanis, but I'm glad the table next to us stepped in and offered a suggestion. Ambiance was also wonderful, lots of Indian families and groups of friends that evening so you know it's a good spot! Highly recommend and we will definitely be going back.

Food: We ordered a decent number of dishes: Biriyani, Curry Leaf Chicken, Veg Curry, Manchurian…read moreCorn, Naan. All were pretty solid. The low spice level was good for my weak palate and overall the flavors were solid. In particular, I liked the veggie curry. Service: This was where the experience felt lackluster. It took well over 10 minutes for the one server (not her fault, they're lowkey understaffed for a Sunday lunch) to make their way to our table after we were sat. Our waters were never filled once after the initial filling (why would we still be expected to tip?), and the food took longer than average to come out than I've had at other Indian establishments. Granted, the food was better than I've had at other Indian places, but the time it took for things to come out was a bit longer than we would've liked. The plates that were at our table were also definitely cleaned poorly. The restaurant is only a GOOD rating out of five on the cleanliness scale (inspection done by the health department in the state of WA) and I think that does not come without reason. My plate still had some food remnants and smudges from previous servings. Atmosphere: Pretty decent place to talk, seating was fine, bathrooms were clean. Overall no other issues with cleanliness outside of the plate.

There are several designated parking spots in the back lot, and we were able to park for free, which was very convenient.
