    Benne Masala Dose
    Roshni A.

    The Bangalore Kitchen has been on my list for a really long time. As someone from Bangalore, definitely wanted to try this place in the Ballard Farmers Market. The place was pretty busy on a rainy Sunday morning at around 11:30ish. There was a decent wait especially for the doses. I absolutely get why cause they were piping hot. The dose was good and the side of chutney was perfect. My friends tried the donne Biryani and they said it was decent. It's a great place to try authentic Bangalore food if you're around the area!

    Butter Masala Dosa
    Su-jen Y.

    Was recommended to come here that this is the best Indian food in Seattle. It has a limited menu since it's a food stall at the Ballard Sunday market. We got the butter masala dosa. It was crispy on the outside and had masala potatoes inside. It was delicious but not sure if I would say this is the best Indian food of Seattle.

    They are in Ballard Farmers market and have the best dosa available in the Seattle area. You need to get there early, or will need to wait in line for a long time. We usually get a couple dosa's, sometimes idli and sambar, and then something from their specials menu. We love their Masala Dosa, and Podi dosa. Their Idli and sambar is amazing.

    A great spot tucked into the corner of the Ballard farmer's market -- all of the aunties and uncles were in line, so you know it's authentic. The line gets long but it moves fairly quickly, would recommend coming early. The Podi Dosa was delicious -- came out fresh and piping hot. The Masala Puri was great too!

    Masala Pudi Dosa
    Harish J.

    Went there two weekends in a row on a recent visit to Seattle! Lines and general wait times can get long if you don't get there early. Just get the Masala Pudi Dosa and thank me later :)

    Idli sambar - special
    Renee M.

    Tried their special off idli sambar today and was disappointed. Sambar felt like boiled lentils soup. No flavour.. I was missing the tang of the tamarind. Missing the punch of the tomatoes and the smell of fresh curry leaves. Idlis were ok. They're soft but didn't give me that wow feeling. For $12.09 for three idlis and sambar, seems a bit over priced. Also I suggest to serve some coconut chutney with this.

    This is a hidden south Indian gem that most Seattleites don't know exists right among them. And as a pop up station at the Sunday Ballard Market too. For those who know about traditional Bangalore dosas (Vidyarthi Bhavan, MTR etc) this place will be a welcome revelation, especially given the grim South Indian restaurant scene in the Seattle area. We savored their Benne (butter) masala dosa as well as their Pudi (spiced powder) dosa. And we sampled their chow-chow bhath (a mix of spiced Khara bhath and sweet Kesar bhath) too. The butter content is just apt - flavorful but not crazily indulgent. The fermentation of the batter is just right and the lingering taste is mwaah! Alas, they're only open on Sundays at the Ballard market, but maybe that's ok - good food *should* be hard to track down and a delight to discover. Enjoy, folks!

    Home away from home! Excellent dosas (or Doseys, a lot of varieties at that). Fabulous pop-up at the Ballard Farmer's Market, right across the street from Cafe Umbria. Or you could just let the smell of ghee guide you to them :D They have a lot of wonderful options like Plain/Masala Dose, Pudi Masale Dose, Chow Chow Bath (a sweet and savory combo dish), Bisibelebath (rice and lentils based tangy dish) and sometimes unique desserts too. I'm just thrilled to have a place that finally makes amazing doseys in the PNW. The doseys are crispy and tasty and a treat! They do sell out very soon. Plan early to find parking around the area which could get crazy due to the farmers market crowd. It took us 30 mins to find parking. You could follow their Instagram page (Tbk.Seattle) to keep up with their changing menu and/or their schedules. Go get a good dosey and thank me later!

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!

Indian takeout on St. Patrick's Day, oops my bad. Most likely this takeout was cobbled together from the lunch buffet. Overall the cuisine was a decent variety and generously packaged. Each takeout box had basmati rice, peas & carrots in a tomato based sauce, bite sized samosas, with the main entrees provided were butter chicken, saag paneer, and chicken vindaloo. Reasonable to call it a takeout thali. Can't speak to ambiance because it was takeout. Service was swift and efficient, showed my TGTG order and handed a bag with two takeout containers. In, out, and go. I was glad for the thick plastic bag because it was overfilled, oozed out, and could have been a mega mess in the car heading back home. What was missing was the ka-pow flavor! Indian cuisine usually has mega flavor and palate pleasing. This did not align with my earlier visits from way back when. Perhaps I'm accustomed to fave Indian spots in the UDistrict. But when brought home, another family member,The Homie, agreed on this assessment when we later dined at home. Not bad, not great. Kind of a let down from my earlier memories of India Bistro. With the vast regional Indian spots in Seattle and across the lake in Bellevue and Redmond, I kind of expected OG India Bistro to be gold standard. Just okay, hence the three stars for this TGTG experience.

I stopped by during a World Cup match, so most of the nearby bars were packed, but this restaurant was surprisingly quiet with only a few tables occupied. The décor is nice enough, but it didn't quite match the way the advertise. Unfortunately, the service was also underwhelming. It wasn't bad, but it felt pretty lackluster, especially for a restaurant at this price point. I was expecting a more polished dining experience. The food was good, but it didn't wow me. My favorite dish was the Paneer, and the kofta was also enjoyable. One thing that stood out in a negative way was the presentation. For example, when our appetizer platter arrived, some of the dishes were awkwardly stacked or hanging over one another. It seemed like a small detail, but at this price, I expected more attention to presentation. Overall, the meal was solid, but it didn't leave a lasting impression. With so many great Indian restaurants nearby, I'm not sure I'd return.

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.

After posting my original review on google, our group realized that Sangamam posts FAKE reviews to combat negative reviews. 1. The accounts are all new accounts (1-2 reviews) and are all locked / restricted accounts. 2. The reviews all have the same "formula" of 2 sentences mentioning a food and then positive service. --- REVIEW BELOW --- Really disappointing experience with the unlimited dosas. We called ahead to ask when the kitchen closed and were told last orders were 10:15pm (a little odd, since their hours say 10pm, but we figured they'd know their own kitchen). Got there at 9:20 -- packed, with one server running the entire floor. We put in our first round at 9:30. The server said the kitchen closed at 9:45 and offered to put our second round in right then, then went to check and came back saying last orders were actually 10pm, so we could order again later. By 9:50 we'd only gotten 2 of our 4 dosas, so I asked to put in round two -- "sure, I'll come grab it." He finally came back at 10:02 to say the kitchen was closed. And the first round came out wrong anyway: 3 of the 4 dosas we ordered. So between the phone call and a few assurances at the table, we were told several times we could order more, and never actually got to. For an "unlimited" deal, we barely got one incomplete round. To be fair, when I said I didn't want to pay the unlimited price for basically one round, the server only charged us for what we got -- and the dosas themselves were not bad, crispy and buttery with flavorful masala. But we wouldn't have paid full price for them, and the "unlimited" part just didn't deliver. I wouldn't count on their "unlimited" items.
