At first look this place seemed small and rundown. The smell of spice, curry and every thing nice filled the air. I was unsure on how the food was going to come out bit a friend highly recommended it. I told the server I wanted a chi tea, roti, goat, and sauce. He pointed to something on the menu and I said okay. My wife got something with garbanzo beans and rice. The wait time was about 30 minutes to get our food. Not sure why but we were patient. I thought to myself as my food approached... good things come to those that wait. And OMG the best Indian food I had ever tasted. The goat fell of the bone, the spices in the curry sauce were just right not too hot and not sweet. The roti was fresh, and the rice was perfect. The wait was worth it, and to top it off the owner gave us $10 off our meal for taking so long and I didn't even mention anything to her. Let's just say I left her to kids working a fat $10 tip. Excited to go back and update this review to 5 stars. read more

Spice King - Our order not sure what it was. - Indian Near Me - Renton, Washington

5 Stars without hesitation Spice King is in a non- descriptive location, but don't let that scare you away. The food, service and heart put into this operation make it one of the best Indian spots I've ever had the opportunity to dine in. I found Spice King via Yelp and realized it was .4 miles from my hotel, we said... yep, Indian sounds good. One of the best parts of our experience here is that you feel at home when you're dining in the restaurant. The owner and server that we talked to and were served by were certainly top notch. We really enjoyed learning about the restaurant and chatting with the owner and server. I had a chicken dish that was really, really good- however I don't remember what the item was. My brother had the Paneer Wrap that was $4.95 of jumbo goodness. We had samosas and naan too. All of which was nothing short of delicious. I look forward to dining at Spice King again, should my travels bring me to the lovely city of Renton, Washington. What are you waiting for? Eat at Spice King..... NOW! read more

We loved this place. Food was fresh and hot from the oven. Customer service was great. The portions were generous. Definitely one of our fave spots. read more

We had Groupon, so came here one day for dinner. Wouldn't have heard of or even noticed this place if it weren't for the Groupon. The food was good; we really enjoyed it. And the service was very good; they were welcoming and friendly. Wouldn't mind trying this place again. read more

I need to update my review cause this place has gotten a lot better. I really want to give a 4.5, but i cant do that. We ordered the special, half order of tandoori chicken and the veggie dish. All was delicious. The tandoori was so flavorful, best tandoori for sure out of all the other indian places. Portions are also very generous!!!! We got 3 dishes, all with sides of naan and rice for under $30!!!! The only thing i have to critique is the naan bread, the was a discrepancy among our group about which one they like and which they didnt, but it was unanimous that it wasnt the best naan. It was decent, but all was just one note. Overall, i would come back for sure!!!! read more

Tikki chat to die for, and cholla bhatura was pretty damn good as well. Fair warning though: come for the food and the flavour, not for the ambience. One of my favourite Indian places in greater Seattle area. Makes it even better that it's next to DK market, so great for a post shopping snack! read more

This restaurant is an absolute diamond in the rough. I come to Spice King at least once a week to get the Lunch Special (curry w/ rice, naan and salad) or the Tandoori Chicken Wrap. Every curry I've tried tastes unique and delicious. The Chicken Wrap is on of the best lunch deals you can find. It's a $5 foot long wrap that destroys anything Subway would give you. Did I mention the $5 includes a drink? My family has even had Spice King cater parties which everyone loved and was quite economical. We had leftovers for days and it tastes just as good! read more

The place more of a quick/Deli sit-down than a proper restaurant, located in a local shopping complex. The service and food were both good for the price. The channa samosa was nice. I felt the butter chicken was too sweet. Every entrée comes with a choice of Naan or rice, which is really nice and not typical of most Indian places. read more

I've been to this place twice and it never disappoints! The first time I went was during a slow-ish hour of the day so I didn't even finish my snack/appetizer before my curry arrived! This place always serves full flavored dishes. I personally always order a spice level of 3 or 4 on a scale of 1-5. All curries are ultra creamy and indulgent. I had tandoori chicken for the first time last night and it was moist on the inside, crispy and flavorful on the outside! As a side tip, I always order water to drink so I could enjoy the full flavor of my meals. If you love cozy restaurants give this place a try! Did I mention that the garlic naan is perfection?! Also: my boyfriend only slightly complained that they gave us small teaspoons to eat our meal with -__- read more

Two stars because the butter chicken included really rough hard to chew chicken. The sauce and rice were good.

I ordered throught uber eats at 3:00pm it estimated my receiving of food at 3:40 and I received it right at that time. Food was good I ordered chicken Tikka Masala spice level 2. I honestly tasted no spice at all so next time I will go with spice level 4 the levels are between 1-5. I love that the chicken was breast and was not too dry also they included a very decent amount of Masala sauce and a great portion size of rice. The only thing I was missing was some Naan thankfully I already had some at home but I would definitely order from here again. It has been a while since I have had decent Indian food this place happen to be offering free delivery on uber eats which is why I decided to try it out. I am glad that I did. read more

Spice King - Chicken Tikka Masala - Indian Near Me - Renton, Washington

This is one of those "hole in the wall" places that will impress you with the quality of their food. Be open-minded when you arrive at the location. You won't be awed by the restaurant's appearance. Spice King is a family operated restaurant and while humble, the proprietor and the kitchen staff work hard to ensure the quality of their entrees. The dining section of the restaurant is ample as they have an adjoining room for seating when they get busy. The menu selection offers a diverse selection of Indian cuisine, snacks, and desserts. Don't leave without trying one of their many desserts. I've never seen so many choices at an Indian restaurant before. Many Indian customers come in just to take these delectable treats home. My wife and I usually order one of their naans (garlic or keema), tandoori chicken, and tikka masala. I'm very pleased with their consistency as each time we've been there, the entrees taste as superb as the visit before. Prices are reasonable and the family is very service-oriented. I've no doubt that their restaurant will thrive if they continue operating as they do. read more

A bunch of us friends decided to go for some comfort food after a long hike. Picked this place as it had high ratings. The restaurant itself was two faced, the front of the restaurant was small and not welcoming, which was odd since we saw good pics of the restaurant on Yelp. Then we realized there was a special seating area inside the restaurant which was much more cozy and actually felt like a good restaurant. Anyway, we got good seats and here goes the order: Non-veg thali, came with 2 non veg dishes. The chicken curry was just average and was overwhelmingly cinnamony, it did not have the right amount of salt to balance it. 2.5/5. The Saag chicken was good, I guess it was kind of the lone star dish in the plate which actually felt a little better compared to the other dishes. It had the right amount of spinich, mustard, spice and salt, it is something I would recommend trying. 3.5/5. The plate also came with a leg piece of tandoori chicken, which was just appalling. This dish stooped to a different level, it was dry, excessively colored, bland and the crust tasted like cardboard, I did not dare taking another bite. 0/5 Veg thali, came with 2 veg currys, Dhal makhani and veg tikka masala(which apparently is a dish). The Dhal makhani was just plain mashed Dhal which was overly loaded with red chilly just coz I ordered it 4 star spicy. I was expecting a good burn of green chillies on the tongue but this just burnt my mouth. I would expect the dish to be made specific to my ask, but looks like they have pre made the Dhal and threw some red chilli into it. Dhal makhani is supposed to be rich and creamy with butter and cream. 1/5. The veg tikka masala had the good creamy rich consistency of a tikka dish and had good amount of veggies in it. I liked the fact that there were roasted paneer(cottage cheese) in it and not raw. This was by far the best thing on the veg plate. 3.5/5. The veg plate had a samosa (with stuffed masala potato), which was just ok, some sweetness from the peas, underwhelming masala from the sauteed patatos. I would have liked it with more masala and the potatoes to be a little more mashed, which is how good filling should be. Also, the crust should be crispy which it was not, felt like pre made again. But then here comes the real bummer, one of the samosas which came with another veg thali was undercooked, had raw and pasty crust and uncooked patatos. 1.5/5 Each of the thalis (veg and non veg) came with some lettuce salad(and ranch) which was a little odd to have in an Indian thali, but the salad in itself was good. 3/5. The thalis also came with naan which we asked to substitute with some chapati. I guess that was the best decision we made since the chapati was made in layers, was light, soft and amazing easy to tear apart. I was really happy with the chapatis and would totally recommend having it in place of naan. 5/5. The raita was something I really enjoyed in the thali, it was perfectly made, good consistency and not too runny, good amount of sweet, salt and sourness from yogurt. 4/5. All the thalis came with jeera rice, cooked with long grain rice. The rice was dry and I didn't bother eating it after couple of bites. 1.5/5 The order of biryani turned out to be an utter disappointment. The biryani was tangy(who does that to our beloved biryani ?!) and just chicken gravy topped with some colored rice. They topped the biryani with spring onions, which I feel shows where the dish stands, it was an abomination. The biryani was in no way tasting like a biryani. 0/5 (coz I can't take it when this happens to my favorite dish) We also ordered the "proclaimed best" chicken wrap, a surprise size for the price tag. It was a large wrap with chicken, rice, peas and lot of cilantro and masala. I liked the rice peas masala which was a good filling in the wrap. The chicken flet like thin cut barks of trees, hard and dry but thankfully the rice and peas was the primary filling, saved the day. 2/5 Dessert time ! The Gulab jamuns were not bad, but a little cold(which I was fine with). They are supposed to be served a little warm for the best taste, but then that's just personal preference. 3/5 The last morsel should end well to give a good conclusion to any meal. So we ordered a Ras Malai(a rich cheese cake like dessert) to quench our dessert craving. This is where I lost all my respect for the restaurant, the Malai was spoilt and inedible. The Ras (which is sugar syrup and spiced condensed milk) was nice and creamy, but then the Malai was just not something that should be served to anyone. The only bite I took(and spit it out) had a rancid taste. For first time in so many years of Yelping, I felt I wished I wasn't there. I'm not sure how this restaurant has such good ratings considering such average or below average food. Wouldn't recommend this. read more

WAAAAAY overpriced! Got Take out. Butter chicken and goat tikka. What I got was a quart container of each, full of sauce with very little meat. I'm fishing around in the container looking for the meat! Definitely not worth it. read more

Legit food. It is a tiny place but we like that. The menu is on the wall and we thought we could order at the counter, but we ended up being seated and ordering off a menu. The menu is on the small side but they have a good range of items for our liking. We tend to like the southern style of Indian or chaat so went with a veggie entree and bhelphuri. She asked for the spice level for the entree but neglected to ask for the bhelpuri, which was extremely spicy. It was made with fresh cut jalapenos and not too sweet like many are. One of the best we've had. I was glad that my husband had asked for a lighter spice on the veggie curry after that though. My taste buds were blown out. Veggie entree was a little on the pricey side, but the bhelpuri is a great deal. It is located right next to DK market, which is a big plus. read more

I was so impressed with this underwhelming establishment! From the outside it looks questionable and unimpressive, but the food is quite the opposite. My friend told me this place was delicious and I was skeptic once we walked in because it looks kind of drab. We ordered samosas, rice, naan, and chicken tikka and wow. My mouth watered and my belly beamed as I enjoyed every bite of all of our food. I overate (which often happens when food is simply that good) and the best ending was the check because the prices are beyond reasonable. I would frequent this place if I lived in the area (or even a little outside of the area) and recommend everyone move beyond what it looks like for a delectable taste of memorable cuisine. read more

My fiance questioned my choice of dinner when we drove up. He said it looked like the DMV. It was not at a good part of town and rather dark but I read good reviews on yelp so I wasn't concern. The atmosphere of the restaurant lacking but the food made up for it. We ordered the special veg thali dish (Samosa, veggie tika masala, daal makhani, naan & rice salad raita, and gulab jamun) and the special non veg thali (Tandoori chicken, chicken curry, meat saag, naan & rice, raita salad and gulab jamun) plus two mango lassi. Fiance LOVED the mango lassi--it was delicious and fresh. My veggie tikka masala was very flavorful. Definitely very authentic Indian food. The family who served us was very friendly. The food came very promptly and were huge; we had leftover for lunch the next day. I gave it a 4-stars due to the location and atmosphere. We will have to come back; the wrap looks great. Big plus: they took our restaurant.com certificate without any issue. read more

My favorites are: Veggie Samosa with Chana Chana Masala Bhartha Saag Paneer Veggie Tikka Masala I can't speak for any meat dish since I don't eat meat. The naan and roti are both very good. Friendly sevice, clean, food to the table in a reasonable time. I've never had a bad experience here. We come here quite often and recommend it to anyone that wants affordable good indian food. read more

I ordered today on door dash, and wow they did not disappoint. The second the driver handed me the bag I could smell the heavenly aroma. The vegetable pekoras were fantastic, the samosa top tier and the garlic naan was heavenly. I will definitely be ordering more to try other parts of their menu. read more

Their food was really good. And the portions were generous! But... Not sure if it was because they were in a rush, but they were not nice when I was ordering my food. Sounded irritated that I hadn't chosen my item and had questions regarding them. read more

If I am not mistaken this is my first attempt at Indian food. Not sure why it has taken me so long so I figured why not give it a shot. Read some good reviews so the misses and I decided to give it a try. Given my first attempt I was not wildly adventureous in trying things. So we decided to share. Rolling up to this place. Holy cow. What is suppose to be some kind of market reminds me of a garage and this place is near the front almost like if you were going to the ranch 99 down the road but a poor version. This looks more like a deli/ cafe than a restaraunt. Parking not so great. On to the food. First up Meat samosas. These reminded me of fried wontons. Large fried wontons. They had mistakenly brought out the potato samosas and cutting into it and trying it with what I believe to be a clintro sauce it was pretty tasty. As I poked around I didn't find any meat I realized this was not what we ordered. They removed the plates (to my disappointment as it was very tastey) and quickly brought out the meat samosas. Cut into these hoping to find meat and success there was nice ground lamb inside. It was loose ground meat not like a meatball. Missing some seasoning as the meat was a bit bland. The sweet sauce on the table which I suspect was a tamrind sauce? went nicely with the meat rather than the green clintro sauce. BTW 2 samosas only $3.99 On to the entree Butter Chicken with basmati rice. I read someone put a review of this maybe somewhere else but on the same butter chicken and after eating it I would agree. It tasted like tandori chicken in tomato basil soup. Maybe it was the creaminess from the butter and cream with a tomato base that gives me that sense but that description hit it on the head for me. Since its my first go around not sure what to expect. But it was still delicious. If I am in the area and craving Indian food I would not hesitate to stop in again. read more

I thought I'd try this place based on the number of good reviews and it was very disappointing. I ordered the butter chicken with three stars and it was not spicy at all, the chicken smelled and tasted a bit funky. The meat samosas I got as well were not flavorful at all. What a waste of money on a disappointing dinner. I should of read better through the reviews as well because there are quite a few where people have found bugs in their food. Disgusting. I have had way better Indian food, I would highly suggest not ordering from here. read more

Ordered delivery. Was told 1hr later they do not deliver, although it stated delivery when ordering. Could not pick up and was charged full cost and got nothing. You need to fix your process. When I called the restaurant from the same app, it said "delivery or takeout and a button to call" What a waste of $30 and they would do nothing to assist. No discount, no sorry, just a you need to pick up. read more

Ordered chicken tikka marsala with a rice side and poori. First issue was the online order through grub hub. After payment went through, order had been confirmed, and a 45min pickup time, i was told my order was never recieved. Ok fine... they put my order through and said 15min. Waited about 20 min and left with my food. The marsala was not as flavorful as other places I've had and it was a bit watery. Chicken was tender but was unusual, only way i can describe the look. Maybe if low quality? Rice was very flavorful and cooked well, as was the poori. I don't know if the online ordering failed or the person behind the counter did but either way it was a long wait for some average food. They seemed a bit disorganized and easily overwhelmed. As im writing this i feel a bit guilty but this was my experience. -1star for the food and one for the order fail. read more

We got the Paneer Naan Wrap and it was amazing and huge. The naan was perfectly chewy and tasty. And It was big enough to split. We also tried the chai and a mango lassi. The chai was really good. The mango lassi was only ok, it has a slightly odd tasty and was bright yellow, we were wondering if they put turmeric in it. I'm still giving them 5 stars because the wrap was so good and the service was excellent. We will definitely go back for the naan wrap. read more

First time customer, Ordered for pickup - So yummy!! I definitely recommend. I was craving Chicken Tikka Masala & some garlic naan bread. The chicken tikka was delicious and medium heat was perfect! the garlic flavor was thereeee. The prices are affordable and for the quality-- WOW. This is my new go-to for those Indian food cravings. read more

A year ago I wrote a great review about their chole bhature. We got take out today from Spice King and it was significantly below average. It wasn't just the food wasn't tasty, the ingredients tasted stale. We ordered pakora, chole bhature and samosas. All three there was a distinct taste the oil they used was either old or had gone bad. The chickpeas tasted they were out of a old rusty can, doesn't matter how much spice you add to it you can't change the flavor of food gone bad. I believe they used fresh ones they soaked and cooked last year when I was there. I don't know any Indian families who use canned chickpeas. We threw the food away since we weren't going to drive back to Renton to complain/return it and we didn't want to get sick read more

We come here mainly for the chicken wrap. Very yummy & affordable. It's a huge wrap for only $5. Space is very limited and the parking lot is always packed! It's located inside DK market. Everytime I go here, there's always a car parked over the line or takes up 2 parking spots. So I choose to call ahead of time to just order for pick up. Don't get me wrong, their food is good!!! If they picked a different location, it would've been better though. FOOD IS SPOT ON REGARDLESS. read more

Absolutely mediocre food. The samosas are a joke - oily, small and filling doesn't taste good. The worst tasting 'tandoori fish' for 12.99 - better to get frozen fish from Safeway and heat it in your oven. There was nothing 'tandoori' about it - it tasted horrible, was saucy and that sauce tasted like a 3 day old indo-Chinese marinade. Unfortunately I had ordered to-go so didn't have an option to return it - had to throw it away. The person on the phone said they add onions and capsicum but there is no way they mix to create this bad tasting sauce. Avoid. read more

We flew in to SeaTac and needed a quick access restaurant - this popped up and we love Indian. Perfect - but they reportedly close at 7 pm on a Saturday, so we called to verify that was in fact true. We checked the menu beforehand and ordered as we entered. Super friendly and attentive staff, and we were in and out in 25 min - and DEVOURED our meal. Fantastic stuff. We lived in London for 2 years so are always searching for great Indian fare, and this hit the spot! You might miss it - it's in a strip mall of sorts, somewhat connected to a local ethnic oriented market/bazaar, so it's not a fancy white tablecloth place but I knew it'd be good. And it was! Lamb curry was slightly fatty, but really nice flavor. My daughter got butter chicken which was solid, and I got my fav Chicken Karahi which we all said was the hands down best. Great naan, ample rice, very reasonably priced and very fast. Fairly quick access from the airport (12-15min away) - and well worth it. Will return. read more

Veggie tikka masala had great spice and garlic naan was worth adding on! Will be back to try more.

One of my favorite places! Their garlic naan is the best. We live it spicy and they don't disappoint!

A good hole in the wall, excellent curries, and good value. Spices things well and doesn't end up with meat that's too dry and stringy most of the time like a lot of the indian places in the area. read more

This place can never disappoint me! Trying Indian food from Portland to Everett and this is my number one place!! That butter chicken flavorful spiciness (when you ask for extra spicy they know what they're doing) !! It's hard to find places that can give you actual good spice with flavor. Oh man and let's not talk about their chicken wraps and their salad dressing!! Idk how they make money with their delicious food and low prices! I mean I hope it stays affordable because I love this place!! read more

They apologize for finally having to raise prices, but the lunch time is dinner size , and really yumm !

The food here is no joke. I had wanted to try Spice King for years but was never in the area, really. Even when in Renton, I would still be like 8 miles away, which isn't particularly close. Just so happened, I had a meeting across the street so I jumped on the chance to try them out! The food is really very good. We had the Kashmiri Chicken special with rice and naan for $7. Big portions, very high spice level at a 4/5. The mango lassi was great and for $2.75 for a big cup, it's a great deal. I would drive out of my way to come here. You don't get fancy ambiance, but the restaurant is comfortable enough and the food is great. read more
