Today we tried the tandoori chicken, samosas, vegetable, Jalfrezi and palak paneer. Everything was fresh and flavorful. We have tried several of their dishes in the past, and it never disappoints. This is not a fancy place, but it is great if you want to grab a quick bite on a budget An important thing to note is that this place is open until midnight every day, which is an anomaly for Seattle!

This review is long overdue since I've been coming to Chaat House for a number of years. Initially…read morethere were long wait times, and it seemed to be quite a popular place. The quality is a hit or miss but nine times out ten, the food has been pretty good especially their chaat items. Today I had a craving for chaat and so popped in with my family after a long time. Today I decided to try the Rada patties. It was very fresh and, and all the flavors came together very nicely.. My husband tried the Dahi puri which was also good. The Thali, however, was strictly average. If you decide to visit, I suggest sticking to the chaat items, since from experience, it has been consistently good. I also recommend the paav bhaji. If you have never been here, or it's been a while, it's time to give it a try. We went there on a Saturday evening and the service was quick, and the prices were reasonable.

Family members who live in Seattle have stated that this place is their best option for Indian…read morefood. I liked it but yeah, it is nowhere close to the standards of California. We decided to come here early in the evening around 6 pm because it gets packed quickly. We got seated quickly but the restaurant fill up while we ate. Their menu is mainly kerala based. We got the pistachio rose lassi, the coconut lavender lemonade, the masala dosa, palakkad Avial, the nalla molagu chicken curry with some tandoori roti, garlic naan and Malabar paratha. The dosa and the palakkad Avial were the best of the lot. I am not a fan of banana in any form but banana in this vegetarian curry wasnt too bad. It tasted like Indian kadhi which I love. The chicken curry was runny and a bit disappointing. I wanted it to have more body, kick and more flavor. The breads are ok. The lassi was delicious but heavy. You could do without the pistachios pieces in it. The lavender coconut lemonade was nice. The curries came with rice, so the meal was filling for 4 people. Pricing wise, it was a little above the typical Indian restaurant prices. The ambiance is cute and casual. It has a slight cramped feel when it gets full, but overall, it isn't too bad. They have a decent open parking lot, which is convenient.

Closer to a 3.5 maybe a 4 on our first visit. This was our second time coming. The first time we…read morewere impressed with the chakka curry. Tonight, we were a little disappointed. It was more watery and less flavorful than we remembered. The parotta was nice and flaky. The gunpowder dosa and veggie pakora were average. The chutneys helped add some flavor and moisture to the dishes. Overall, not as good as we remembered but still a good stop. The service was pretty fast and our server was friendly. There's a few small tables that can combined for larger parties. A table for two was seated quickly on a Friday night. This restaurant is known for its Kerala food.

What pleasantly surprised us was the Chinese food--it's almost as good as their dosas! We tried the Hakka veg, paneer, and chowmein, and everything was flavorful and delicious. Overall, excellent food, generous portions, and a great dining experience. Definitely a place we'd be happy to visit again!

It's a decent spot for dosas and Indian appetizers. We used to visit here all the time, but lately…read morethe service and food quality have declined. First, the Onion Masala Dosa has large onion pieces mixed into the masala, which looks unusual and doesn't taste as good. Second, the tables are often dirty, and even after they're cleaned, they have an unpleasant smell, so the cleanliness and hygiene could definitely be improved. There is also only one restroom, and it's usually not very clean. We genuinely loved coming to this restaurant for years, but over the past couple of months, it just hasn't felt the same. The service is fine since it's a self-service restaurant, but we hope they bring the food quality back to what it used to be without increasing the prices further. We still have high hopes for this restaurant and would love to see it return to its previous standards.

Simply delicious! We came here on a fall weekend and…read morenoticed how popular it is right as we parked. There was already a line outside, as people were waiting for it open at 11:30 AM. We were lucky to arrive at opening time and were seated immediately as the line continued to grow after doors opened. We had the idli sambar, goat roast, onion rava masala dosas (one with ghee and one without), chaas, and a filter coffee. I absolutely loved the rava onion masala dosa (I prefer without ghee) paired with the different chutneys and sambar. The sambar was so flavorful. I was so full from the dosa that I didn't have much of the goat roast but the small piece I tried was delicious. We packed that to go for dinner, and can't wait to have more of it. I would recommend coming a little earlier to get a table sooner or prepare for a little wait. Happy eating!

We arrived at 8:45 and the guy behind the counter was so kind and hospitable he took our order with no questions asked. Next time I come in I'll give him a big smooch.

One of the best dinner experiences I had in the greater Seattle area. I went with a big group of…read morepeople who had never tried Pakistani food and had the best time. The food was hot, came out quickly, well balanced with spices and the chai was actually phenomenal. I also appreciate the service. Our waiter and the host were very attentive but not hovering. They were also super helpful with ordering enough food for the table. We were yapping late into the night and they didn't kick us out. We did get the gentle message to start wrapping up when the lights turned on haha but I don't mind, obviously they need to go home too lol. I just had a good time and didn't feel rushed at the end which made the experience all the better. My only (minor) gripe is that the biryani rice was a little undercooked for my taste and the portion sizes were smaller than I'm used to (but I grew up in Dallas, and no one at our table left hungry, we were all stuffed). Will definitely be back with my parents next time!

Their menu seems inspired by the Andhra cuisine. They offer a variety of pulavs & biriyanis (including numerous vegetarian versions). They also offer a variety of appetizers that are not very commonly found in other local Indian restaurants. Service was good. Decor was simple but clean. Price was reasonable. We will go back to try a few more items.

Desi Junction is a new addition to the Lakehills area, and from looking at the expansive menu that…read morethe restaurant was offering, I was excited to stop by and give this place a try! We went on a Friday around 6PM and had no wait to get seated. The parking lot of the restaurant is quite small, I would say maybe 12-15 cars can fit in the parking lot total. It may be a bit difficult during peak meal rush hours as Desi Junction also shares a parking lot with a nearby taco truck. The parking lot is also one entry/exit way so if there are lots of people, maneuvering would get tricky. The restaurant is casually decorated with artwork on the walls, and there are about 10 - 12 tables total in the restaurant. Service is slow, I think we were the only people in the restaurant, but it still took 30 minutes for us to get our food after ordering - I understand that there could also be online orders, but taking that long to get food ready is a bit puzzling given the dishes aren't complicated to prepare. In terms of food, the flavor is delicious! Nicely flavored, seasoned, and delightful to eat. The curries that we ordered had a nice smooth and pleasing texture and the chicken pieces were cooked well and pleasantly hearty. The naan was crispy and were delicious, and the garlic flavor infused nicely throughout the bread. Everything tasted great, but the quantity wasn't there. Between 4 people sharing these dishes, each of us maybe got 2 small pieces of chicken per dish - I would say the curries maybe were 1.5 cups of food per dish. The tandoori chicken, though flavored strongly and delicious, was mostly chicken bone with minimal meat on the bones and 70% rice. I think this, combined with the long wait, unfortunately made this dining experience not great. If you are feeling really hungry and looking to get all of your dishes fast while dining in this restaurant, I unfortunately would say maybe look elsewhere to eat. The quantity in terms of price is not very good, as I think you could spend about the same amount of money at a similar restaurant and not leave the restaurant hungry. The wait times for food were also long - I would say that we waited about almost 30 minutes for our first dish to arrive at our table. I also wished service could have been more attentive as well, we mostly had to wave down our waitress to get her attention every time we needed something. The food tasted good, but I'm not sure if I would dine in here again. I would recommend take out if you are planning on trying out Desi Junction.
