Nice place downtown Walla Walla, Wa. Family owned and good service. Waitress was very helpful in selecting food and the amount. We ordered Chana Masala, Garlic Nann and shared a Tandori platter of mixed meats. Food was hot and smelled delicious. Chana Masala was on point. Delicious! The Tandori was a bit dry. We had more Chicken and a few fish bites. I wished we had more of a variety. But, everything tasted delicious. read more

Arrived on a Thursday night and they were very busy. We had the sweet & sour cauliflower and a vegan korma dish with garlic naan -- they were excellent. House white wine was very good also. Very nice restaurant with a relaxing atmosphere. read more

The service here was impeccable, the ambiance warm and cozy, the food was the best Indian food we've had! We shared an appetizer which was their Papri Chaat, and we thought it was amazing. Mr. Wonderful had the kebab chicken and plain naan and it was perfectly spiced, moist and tender. And I had their Matar Paneer (medium spicy) and it was simply perfect. They put a lot of thought into their food, and you can taste it. TEN stars! read more

Walking in, we weren't sure what to expect. The bright lights and wood makes for more of an American Grill feeling. Fear not, the food is all Indian! We had chicken Tikka masala and Channa masala. Both at a requested medium spice. Both were cooked well, the food was tender but not mushy. Both sauces were very flavorful, rich, and thick. Neither was very spicy. Each dish came with rice, which smelled delicious, and was more than we could eat. We also got mint naan. Oh yummy! Service was adequate. It would be great to come back with a larger group so that we could try more things. Also, would probably order at least some of the dishes a "7 on a scale of 10." read more

Giving this restaurant a 4 because the food is so good. But oh the waitress probably should find a new job. Tonight was our second time here and both times the same. Ordering you feel you are bugging her and you don't see her again until you flag her down. We did let her know the lamb was overcooked and the response "oh ok". Also very cold in there tonight. Ordering to go next time and skip the lamb. read more

Very good Indian food and a different take on the cuisine than what we are used to from our neighborhood spot back in SoCal. The classics like vegetable korma and masala were spot on, but I was most intrigued by their Indo-Chinese dishes a sort of hybrid of the two, cooked the way people in India seemingly like Chinese food. The chicken Manchurian was so good we ordered the cauliflower version for the vegetarians in the family. Only complaint is there were no gin speciality cocktails on the menu and it was slightly understaffed. However, it was a Sunday and the food once ordered came out very quickly. Check it out! read more

Did not expect to have Indian food in Walla Walla, but this place was great! Naan Basket was amazing as were the entrees - highly recommend!

Very surprised about the food, spices were clashing and food was pungent. Raw garlic taste and the chicken was tasing weird. I don't mean to be harsh with this review but the food was really tasting off. Very nice ambiance and good service, the girl who took our order made sure we were very comfortable. read more

It's nice that Walla Walla has a Indian food option. Came with a large group and ordered maybe 7 dishes to pass around and try including lamb saag, lamb tiki masala, butter chicken and Dahl. The naan was our favorite thing and everything else was good. That said, nothing blew our pants off and the food portions were very small for cheap ingredient dishes which are not hard to make in a more filling portion. Maybe it's because rent in that space can't be cheap. I'd probably go back if I still lived in Walla Walla but if I had a choice between this and Portland food truck Indian...the food truck would win every time. read more

Arriving from Portland kinda late Saturday night, we (my dad, mother-in-law, Spazz, teen and myself) struggled to know where to get food. Our first try was a Thai place. I don't know if it was the late hour or they just don't do dine in, but they said we could only do take-out. After a long hot day of driving and only enough time to dump out stuff at our hotel, we wanted to sit and have a meal out. We left and ended up here. Service was okay. The menus were great. The food was not bad. I wasn't a huge fan of the spices and the thickness of my Aloo Gobi or the Palak Paneer. Everyone seemed to like their dishes a lot. The Palak Paneer was actually my teen's and he liked it better than me. read more

Stopped in to get a bite before hitting the tasting rooms. The $10 Naan sampler was delicious, and enough to feed 4! Staff was friendly.

Very upset overall because of the way the waitress brought the card reader to us before one of us was even done eating and asked if we wanted to split the bill five ways. Some had pre-drinks, some didn't, some shared a bottle of wine, and the food varied greatly... come on, like we're just going to split it without discussing? We said no and she was visibly irritated and we said we wanted to pay separately. She then went through each person's tab and announced the amounts and expected us to automatically produce our cards. We were not ready nor done!? So unprofessional and rude. What happened to getting a bill you can pay in private???? read more

Excellent food. It was even better pre-Covid when they had a lunch buffet so you could try several different options. There are lots of appetizers and entrees for vegetarians. People in my group usually order a mango lassi and are happy with those. This is authentic food made by cooks who understand how to blend spices to get the most flavor from your food. It's in line with the prices for restaurants in downtown Walla Walla. It's lovely to sit outside in the summer and people watch as you enjoy your food and your guests. read more

Food was dull, especially Garlic Nan, and others too, it was like hey did not even bother to nuke it !!! And for one person it cost 60$ !!! I got hair in my chicken masala read more

Food is delicious, service prompt (we had a short lunch break and they accommodated use within our timeframe) all the selections were very tasty read more

Very underrated restaurant in Walla Walla. Started with the Samosa Chaat and it was delicious. The yogurt and vegetables mixture is like Indian salsa. Had the Chicken Saag and Naan as an entree. Portion sizes are plentiful and enough for a normal person with a reasonable appetite. Service was prompt and attentive. They have a great bar area for drinks. read more

Another great meal. Place was bustling with the start of Whitman's semester and summer visitors. So nice to have a sense of normalcy on the back end of COVID. Butter chicken and Korma were winners. The one dish that I avoid is Tikka Masala, as I don't care for their recipe. Otherwise, all is great! Given the prices, they do need to increase the quantity of protein in each dish. And, disappointing that they charged extra for the requested chutneys. But, we will be back. read more

The familiar and friendly host is gone. He was amazing. The portions have shrunk and of course the price s have gone up. Still a delicious meal but not enough to take home:( read more

Food was packed very securely for travel - and is of course delicious. Ordered online and food was ready on schedule.

DELICIOUS! I have been here a few times now and I have never been disappointed with anything that I tried. Come in for lunch to experience their buffet or order from the menu for dinner. Buffet: Prices are around $15 per person. If you are a student there is a 20% discount. The price is totally worth it. Every dish in the buffet line is fresh and tasty. Whether you are vegetarian or a meat eater, you will be satisfied here! Menu: For the prices on the menu, I really wish they would have the buffet option available for dinner too but I regardless, the prices are fair and seem to be consistent with Walla Walla's pricing climate. I tried their butter chicken curry both from the buffet and from the menu and it is absolutely a dish I get every time I come here. Garlic naan is also a must-have! The wait staff is really friendly and incredibly helpful when you have a question about something on the menu. They have a bar and alcoholic menu so if you want a drink to go along with your dinner, there are options. Overall, this place is a good place for a quick lunch or a dinner date. Good for coming alone or bring your friends! I definitely recommend this place! FYI--you WILL smell like Indian food coming out of here so keep that in mind if you are planning out an entire evening as this may not be something you want say, walking into a concert or catching a flight immediately after. read more

On 5/17/23, I arrived in Walla Walla, Washington, late at night. There weren't very many restaurants still open. Of those that were, this is the one that received the highest ratings. Walla Walla Indian Cuisine has a 4.6 rating on Google and a 4.5 rating on Yelp. My experience did not match that, but given how highly most other diners are reading this restaurant, I assume that I had a one off. I ordered Lamb Samosas, Butter Chicken, and a side of Butter Naan. Lamb Samosas ($10) - crispy triangle filled with minced lamb and peas. I was very excited to see these on the menu. While the meat feeling was plentiful, it was not well seasoned, and it as overcooked/dry. If there were any peas, I didn't see them. They may have just been cooked down. Butter Chicken ($18) - succulent chicken pieces from our clay oven served with rich creamy tomato sauce with butter. I don't normally order Butter Chicken, because I make an excellent version myself, and it's better than most that I've been served in restaurants. But there were lots of reviews about this specific dish, and many diners said it was the best they had ever had. I asked my server to relate to the cook that I would like it prepared the same way they would do so, if making it for themself. That was my way of saying "make it Mumbai hot." While the sauce was nice and creamy, it was the blandest and least seasoned version of this dish I have had, and the chicken was over cooked and dry. The rice was perfectly cooked. I shared my concern re: spice level with my server, who told me she could bring out a bunch of spices that I could add to it at my table. Given that I was not eating Pho, I declined. She graciously offered to remove this item from my bill, which I accepted. Butter Naan ($3) - flat leavened bread with butter. The naan was very good, but there was no butter on it. With the exception of one other table, everyone else was eating outside on the patio, which was pretty full. The interior is dark, but it's a comfortable dining space. I like that they have big booths and that it's quiet. The service was excellent! This restaurant has a very large number of vegetarian options. And I'm impressed they have goat on the menu! In all fairness, I did arrive within 45 minutes of the restaurant closing. My server brought out all of my food at the same time. I very much appreciated them serving me this late at night, but it was clear to me that they were in a hurry to get out. I understand completely. Given the stellar reviews this restaurant has received, I think that my server may have failed to communicate the spice level I wanted. Or perhaps the cook miss heard, and thought that I wanted it a lot less spicy than usual? Either way, I would definitely give this restaurant a second chance. Based all the other outstanding reviews, including many who say this is the best Indian food they've ever had, I feel confident that upon trying this restaurant again, I would be likely to give it at least 3 to 4 stars. But I don't typically eat at the same place twice when revisiting a town, so it might be a while before I get to try it again. Hence, the reason why I wanted to share pictures of the food, menu, and interior. So you can have it on your radar for your next visit to Walla Walla. P..S. The owner of the motel, where I stayed shared that this is one of his family's favorite restaurants, but he did say that they did not like very spicy food. Given that, I think another explanation for why my food was so mildly seasoned is because the restaurant owners and cook are focused on meeting the expectations of the majority of customers who dine there, which I respect. read more

The food was a mixed bag of really good and poor. For appetizers we tried the lamb samosas and chicken strips (can't remember their name). Unfortunately, both were extremely overcooked, dry and in desperate need of salt. The sauces they were served with were quite good. The naan bread was excellent. Our dinners were also hit and miss. My wife ordered the mango curry a mild which was a beautiful mix of sweet and spicy flavors and the Chicken melted in your mouth. This dish definitely was the gold star of the evening. My dish was the lamb tiki masala. It was ok. The lamb hadn't been braised long enough and was chewy and tough. I got the sauce in medium and it was good but was missing something. Our service was superb. They were attentive and the food was served quickly. The atmosphere was great for a date night. Overall, I think that I will return. The things they did well they did very well and you can avoid the things they don't do well. read more

The vegetarian samosas were really good; came to the table nice and hot. Butter chicken and palaak paneer were also very good. I appreciated how they erred on more spice than more mild. Very good food. read more

Indian food is my absolute favorite. I was here for a conference and had lunch here. I liked it so much I brought friends back with me for dinner. I am vegetarian and had two types is paneer dishes. Both were excellent, as was the fresh yogurt lassi. My friends loved everything as well. Amazing. read more

This is the only Indian restaurant in town and thus if you're craving Indian food, this is your only choice. Flavor is overall ok. We ordered naan and the waiter offered a sauce to go with it. He never mentioned that this side sauce would be ten dollars. It felt sneaky and weird to not mention the extra charge. It is for this reason we are giving them two stars. We understand its hard to maintain a restaurant in WW but sneaking in charges is not ok for us. read more

For me, this was not great authentic Indian cuisine. Indian food is normally very spicy with lots of curry and other spices. The food here, even though I requested spicy , was very bland/no spice at all. The chicken pakora(?) appetizer was dry and tasteless. The naan was excellent. The chicken curry w broccoli was not very flavorful and had zero spice. The waitress said they don't make the food spicy due to customer dissatisfaction. If I wanted authentic spicy I would have to come in the morning to order my dish. So, if you want real, spicy hot, face sweating Indian food, this is not the place. read more

If you have never had Indian food before, be advised it is very spicy. Spicy hot! Call first if you are having it delivered to find out what will work for your taste buds and stomach concerns! What we ordered was good but way to spicy for us. We ordered because we wanted to try something different and we did. Boy did we!!!! Again, call first when ordering! Their presentation was gorgeous, I must say. It really was. read more

The food is INCREDIBLE the staff are friendly and the service is good. All their sauces are Sooo flavorful. We loved the butter naan and the aloo naan, the aloo matar was delicious as was the chicken masala. We've eaten there twice now and the food is always fantastic. Everything is made to order. Lots of vegetarian options. read more

I came here my first night in Walla Walla when I moved here and the food was so comforting that it eased the tough transition. I asked for 4 spicy and I got it! The aloo mutter was amazing, the jasmine rice was perfect and the naan bread was to die for. Best Indian food in town read more

Food is amazing, enjoyed everything we tried. The service was a bit slow but we are large group.

This place came highly recommended to us by a local but we were pretty disappointed overall unfortunately. The service was completely inattentive and non-existent to the point where we almost got up and left before ordering. It took a solid half and hour for someone to come over and take our order. The restaurant seemed completely overwhelmed by the holiday volume of business. The chicken Tikka Masala was pretty good overall but I have had better in the past elsewhere. Number 24 The Murgh Malai Kebab chicken was very plain and completely lacked flavor we didn't eat most of it. The Naan bread was pretty good and a generous portion overall. read more

Great recommendations by the staff, great service, full bar, and amazing flavors. We got the veggie samosas.. 2 huge puffs filled with potato and peas... Great with the dipping sauces. Gobi manchurian was very well flavored and sauced. Chicken vindaloo and chicken 65 were spicy as we had requested and came in tons of sauce. Get the garlic naan, I've never seen so much chopped garlic on naan before! Overall great experience and food! read more

We had takeout from here...WOW! Fantastic flavors. Saag, paneer, chana, everything was good. And get this....chapatti! I grew up eating chapatti, not naan which is so popular in the US.

I've ordered from this restaurant multiple times when in town to visit family. From the last visit (12+ mi the ago) the protein in the portions had dropped by about half - this time being only about 1 medium chicken breast of meat per entree, and less than a handful of paneer. I ordered 5 entrees (paneer tikka masala, chicken tikka masala, aloo Gobi & butter chicken) + sides (chutney, Raita, naan, onion salad) and the cost was $102 but barely fed the 5 of us. There were also only 4 portions of rice. The flavor is great, spice was perfect (was not asked level). On par with Nirmals in Seattle WA BUT smaller protein portions even when compared in "real-time". If it wasn't for the rising food costs I would have removed additional stars. I just expect to be full off of a single entree. Unfortunately after this visit, I can't warrant the expense any longer and won't be returning. read more

Great food Could not quite eating . Some of the best Indian food I have had. Spiced to perfection. read more

First time here today. We had an amazing experience with the quality and authenticity of food. Perfectly seasoned and spices were spot on. The presentation of the food was very appetizing. My only complaint was the shrimps were over cooked (chewy). I'm still giving 5 stars because it can be improved. We enjoyed the friendliness of the staff and customer service. We came from Richland and the food was worth the drive. We will definitely comeback. Highly recommended. read more

First, I really, really like Indian food and will seek it out in any city/town that I'm visiting, and I was really excited to try this new Indian restaurant. This review, however, is for the lunch buffet only. The lunch buffet line seems to be turned around slightly with the condiments at the start of the line along with the Mango Lassi drink container. I'd personally rather have those at the end of the food line. So, after I'd been through the line of items, I went back to the condiments, but there were several people in line right there, so this was rather awkward. As I didn't know the food items, I didn't know what condiments I'd want until after going through the line. So, my suggestion would be to move those condiments elsewhere or to the end. If you are here with no other fellow foodies, take a gander at the food items before getting your plate, silverware, and of course, the mango lassi! Then you can make some intelligent decisions about your condiments. Now to the buffet line. There were many options with name tags to tell you what you're tasting, but if the item wasn't chicken, then it was veggie. Where's the lamb dishes? Particularly a vindaloo? Where's the tiki masala (that's even a chicken dish!)? So, I tried many items, putting small portions on my plate to get a taste of everything (this is a buffet, so the plan is to go back for a second plate of the best tasting stuff). On the second pass, however, it was only for an additional swig of the mango lassi (very good) and another piece of naan (plain is best here). Does this tell you something? Yep. The flavors just weren't there compared to all of the other Indian restaurants where I've eaten. I really, really wanted to like this place, and I'd like to give them another chance when I'm visiting the area, but not for the buffet. It just isn't worth it unless you're new to Indian food, then you won't have anything to compare to and this will definitely fill your tummy. The inside of the restaurant is very well decorated (and the ceiling is BEAUTIFUL). There were three TV screens back near the bar area. The booths are super comfortable, but the service was a little lacking, but we are eating at the buffet. I noticed one of the waiters was really doing a great job with a couple of young kids (toddlers) in the next booth, so there's that (bring your kids). read more
