Spice King - Meat Vindaloo - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place came highly recommended from a friend and did NOT disappoint. I had Chicken Coconut with a side of naan. It was perfectly seasoned and so tasty. Just what I needed after a day of walking around downtown. It didn't take long to come out either. (I didn't order ahead) The perfect comfort food. read more

The food was excellent. The naan was fresh and hot with the garlic in, not just sprinkled on the bread. The main dishes had tender meat, perfect rice, and complex flavors. My son especially enjoyed the balance of the rose milk to drink along with his curry. The service was prompt and friendly; our server and my son got to talking about spice combinations and recipes. It is a family owned business and very authentic. We will be back. read more

Food was good, great naan & samosas. Lots of vegetarian options. Seemed like more of a carry out place, though we dined in and it was fine. Would repeat. read more

Amazing food, real North Indian food. 100/100 on taste. Service was friendly. Quantity was definitely good as well. Ambiance is typical Indian Restaurant. I tried the meat thali, cholay bhaturay and goat curry. All exceptional. Finally the masala tea just made my day. Would definitely recommend this place for locals or people visiting. read more

I only had the Malai Kofta and plain roti from here and it was THE BEES KNEES. The pricing is a little under what other places are charging for the same dishes, and based on my portion of Malai Kofta, it's basically the same amount of food as the more expensive places. I can't speak of the other dishes but based on what I got, I expect they are also top notch. read more

The food is fantastic! Love everything we have gotten. Highly recommend the family meal deal. Absolutely delicious.

It's definitely time for an updated review, and I'm here to say this place has remained consistent in both their service and quality of food!! I'm so glad to see the ratings have gone up as are starting to reflect the absolutely amazing place that this gem of a restaurant is!! Like I said in my previous review, I used to literally rent a car, just to drive to their other location in Renton before finding out they had a location in downtown! I don't know how they put up with the chaos that is just outside their door on this block, but I am so glad that they've held on! The restaurant is modest but I highly recommend eating in, because the people who work here and the service they provide is truly wonderful. They are great people and make you feel so welcome. Also, their prices are basically unheard of for Seattle so that's a HUGE HUGE plus!!! And I just realized tonight that they are now on uber eats so there's absolutely no reason not to try them out!!!! I could not recommend more highly!! Ps. Try the mixed chicken and paneer wrap with a side of butter chicken sauce!! Amazing!!! But be prepared to get MESSY!!! Also, it's nearly the size of a foot long at subway and it's only like $8 something!! Just crazy! Also I ordered a mango lassi for like $5 and it was like 20 oz. I had them both for two different meals, and I was full both times!! Love! read more

See all

the food was delicious, on par with cedars in u district which is one of my favorite restaurants. i got the chicken tikka masala and it was really filling, exactly what i needed on a cold day. the naan was also very good. the owners were really nice and the food came out quickly. i would definitely come again! read more

See all

Food was okay but honestly would not order again. We had the veggie samosa but the flavors were way off and it didn't taste good. The paneer pakoras were okay but the accompanying chutneys were bad (which is very important for pakoras otherwise they are too dry). The sheesh kebabs were good, but generally lacking flavor. It was bland. And again, the accompanying chutneys were bad. The paneer roll was really bad. That was just thrown away. It was basically a big naan with paneer, lots and lots and lots of peas. It was as if all they did was heat up a frozen naan, grill some paneer pieces and take an entire bag of peas and put it all together. There are much better options in Seattle. read more

Fantastic and authentic!!! The food is served family style so make sure to order rice if you're solo. TOTALLY RECOMMEND THE SPICE KINGS MIXED TANDOORI!!!! You'll be missing out if you don't try it. It's family run; the service was great. read more

I always eat here once a month. Gets prepared here and food is consistently great! Usually get the Chicken Curry with Naan

I'm grateful we didn't let the hole-in-the-wall exterior dissuade is from stopping in. The service was great and the food was very solidly delicious without pretense. We had, and would order again, the meat thali and chicken tikka masala. Both were great. The naan was outstanding as well. read more

I was craving Indian food and saw this spot in downtown and thought I'd check it out! One of my favorite vegetarian Indian dishes to get is aloo gobi, so I ordered that (which comes with rice) and a plain naan, to go. It was a strange hour, like maybe 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so it wasn't busy. After I paid, I waited not even ten minutes for my packaged up food. When asked how spicy I wanted it, I opted for three stars, right in the middle, so I could figure out what the baseline was here. I'm pretty good with spice, but I thought that the level three had a pretty good kick to it - I'll probably stick to just three stars in the future. I think I'm too scared to try four. The aloo gobi was really good - great flavors and the potato and cauliflower were cooked perfectly. It went really well with the rice and the naan. I enjoyed the food very much and would definitely pick up takeout from here again next time I'm in the area. The two ladies that helped me were nice and my food came out pretty quickly! I'm excited to try more of the menu (I really want to try the kheer and the thali and the biryani). read more

The chicken masala was delicious not too mention their nan. Right down the street from pike place market

Went there to dine in at noon this chilly afternoon. Restaurants was slow, which I expected considering its two days after the new year and also the weather didnt help at all. Ok so getting to the point, when I first arrived there was no one there to greet me. Of course, no matter how weird it was, thats not the reason for 2 stars here. If you greet me, great! But if you dont, just feed me some tasty foods, and I couldn't care less. Now talking about foods, I went to the counter to order for myself ( again pretty weird, where are the servers? Or were they just not serving me ?) . So first arrived the starter, paneer pakora, and a small bottle of singha beer which the "server" basically threw at me without any emotions. Fortunately, pakoras tasted good which lightened up my mood a little bit. But, unfortunately, that lightened up mood didnt last long as few minutes later I got ( well the server threw it to me again but hey) my Butter Chicken and garlic naan with the rice in my plate. Yes you read that right, not in any container or something, it was right at my plate. Talking about the food quality, the only reason why I finished it all was because 1) I was a tad bit hungry 2) it was insanely expensive 3) well the quantity was what ? 12 ounce maybe. So, to sum it all up. Food isnt great, service isnt great, outlook of the restaurant isnt great. Avoid at all cost. Thanks! read more

This place is really good! I went in after seeing it around for a little while but never getting the chance to check it out. I got butter chicken and garlic naan! The curry was flavorful and rich! The naan was fresh and accompanied the curry well! I will definitely be recommending this place to my friends! Ps it seems like it was a better bang for your buck than some other Indian places I've been to! Overall great experience! read more

Came here with my picky family, everyone loved it. Seriously some of the best Indian food I have ever had.

We ordered naan, curries, chat and they tastes okay and quality isn't good. We got stomach upset after eating food.

Spice King takes over the very popular Mae Phim Thai location on 3rd and Pike and we were not disappointed! I could tell that the food was freshly made and everything had wonderful flavors. I am a huge fan of Saag Paneer and I have a high bar for the quality of the spinach, flavor of the sauce, and the fact that spicy means spicy. They got it right on all accounts. In addition, the paneer was nice and seemed homemade. We also loved the Matar Paneer and the Bhartha, which they also correctly lowered the spicy level for my kids. The green samosa sauce was another nice surprise, this time made with a sauce with freshly chopped herbs, nicer than any sauces I've seen elsewhere. Very excited to have a great Indian location in this part of town and we will be back a lot! read more

I decided to try this place out despite the bad reviews. Big mistake. My aloo paratha had multiple hair in it. This is the most disgusting and unsanitary thing I have ever experienced. All the food was very bland and just full of red chili powder. read more

I usually go to the Renton location but I decided to come check out there new location and I must say the decor at this place is very welcoming The food is very flavorful like alway! I definitely will start coming to this location more often read more

Spice King - Veggie Samosa Chaat with mango lassie - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The vegetable samosas were delicious and my food was ready for pickup when I arrived.

Okay, I'm not Indian but I love Indian food (my favorite restaurants are Saffron Grill and Naan-n-curry which is Pakistani). I really loved my take out meal from Spice King!!! Best bhartha and samosas I've had in Seattle. I also loved the paratha stuffed with potato which I had never had before. We also got the butter chicken. Definitely will be coming back. read more

Great food. Best Baingan Bharta I've had in years! Butter chicken, Garlic naan, and veggie Samosas were also top notch. The place looks a little dumpy, but it's worth it for the food quality. read more

This spot is spectacular! The food is made fresh and you can taste the care that goes into it. The portions are perfect.

Very good food all around, only two people in the kitchen, but the service wasn't slow at all. Came out with hot food for our party of 11 after 20-25 minutes. read more

Quick service, excellent food! I ordered for takeout and it was ready by the time I got there, well-packaged, and tasted great. The chicken and naan were both beautifully charred from the tandoor. Support this excellent new local business! read more

Found out they have a location in Renton & I've been there every week since! Amazing food & service everytime!

Great food at a super reasonable price with prompt service! I got the daily special- chicken curry (asked for 3 star heat) . It came with rice, salad, a naan and soda- [the curry and naan smelled amazing! Even though it was delicious, I couldn't possibly eat the whole serving in one sitting. So, I had a lunch and a dinner. The curry had a great flavor and the heat was just right- enough heat to make me work through my meal slowly but not so much heat I couldn't enjoy my meal. read more

Absolutely phenomenal food! The staff here is also just really great! The shop is pretty simple but clean. I'm so glad they've held on despite the chaos that is going on, on this particular block 24/7. The wraps are super messy and worth it! Literally drooling just thinking about it right now. Both the chicken and the paneer are great. I've mixed the two. Also, great. I highly recommend. read more

This restaurant is one of my favorite Indian places I've been to in the king county area. They recently opened this new location!! It's right next to my job in Seattle. The decor at this location is very soothing I love the elephant heads. I normally order meat samosas as my appetizer and for the main course I always get meat Thai it's such a great deal you really get your money worth, it come with chicken saag, rice, chicken curry Khair, plain yogurt, salad and a chicken leg. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE WANTING AUTHENTIC INDIAN FOOD. read more

Spice King - I got all this food for just $14.99!! The Meat Thali was FANTASTIC!! And I always get a rose milk with my meal. - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ordered a Biryani, the taste was horrendous. It was not real Biryani, it was meat , rice mixed with a sauce. Why call it Biryani when you can't even try? read more

I don't write a lot of Yelp reviews, but I just kind of wanted to shout "don't sleep in Spice King" throughout downtown Seattle and figured this was a better approach. I've ordered carryout from here four times and it's always been great. The chicken pakora is a fave (and I'm kind of finicky about chicken) and I'm hooked on the lamb karahi. I like spice and Level 3 is a pretty legit amount of heat for me - I would be scared to go higher, but that's obviously pretty subjective. Anyway, if you're looking for great Indian food downtown, give Spice King a shot!! read more

Amazing! Asked for higher than 5 stars and they delivered. Hard to find a good spice level in the area but here it is :)

The food was delicious! We got the butter chicken and the aloo matar mushroom. Compared to similar places in Seattle the food is about $3-5 cheaper and is the same tasty quality. Our new spot for Indian food for sure! read more

I have eaten at Renton several times. This branch is not so good. Had a thali and garlic naan with shahi paneer. Shahi paneer didn't have any paneer to my disappointment and they didn't give any rice along with the curry at $14.90 though I ordered at Doordash. Naan was dry and sans butter. Dal Makhani was nothing like Renton. read more

We tried many dishes after two visits there, and they were all delicious. Definitely will order from them again. Definitely try the chai tea :) read more

Good food, generous portions, reasonable prices (most entrees under $15), and very nice people. Great place for an inexpensive lunch or dinner! read more

The food here is amazing! I get the chefs special and it is the best deal at only $9.99. They give you so many warm naan and the salad included! Their samosas are also really delicious as well. This is definetly my go to Indian place! read more
