I came in for the buffet and thoroughly enjoyed it. This is one of the better Indian buffets in the Seattle area. When I walked in, I was told I could choose my own seat. There was only one other person there, so I had plenty to choose from. The water refills and dirty dish removals were frequent and prompt. Restaurant was mostly quiet with only moderate conversation volume at the different tables. The food selection was excellent and plentiful. There were 4 different chicken dishes: tandoori, curry, biryani, and the one with the orange sauce (I don't remember what it is called, masala?). Several vegetarian options and a tasty rice pudding dessert. And what I specifically liked about this buffet was that you got your own naan, however much you wanted. I've been to too many Indian buffets where they bring you massive amounts of naan. It's very obvious what these other restaurants are trying to do, making you waste your stomach capacity on the cheap filler bread so you don't eat the more expensive stuff. And if you're someone like me that will clean the plate off completely at buffets so as not to waste food, it is doubly appreciated. My only complaint would be that some of the food is quite salty, like the fried, crispy, tempura-like veggie dish. With tip, it came out to $19, which is a fair deal for Seattle.
The food was super awesome . Service was amazingly fast . There was some background noise perfect enough that I felt like it was just me and my date . I'll always come back
While the environment was not so lively while we were there and the buffet was very small.... The food absolutely made up for the construction noise happening upstairs on a separate business. The staff helped me understand each item on the buffet and which one was safe for me to eat with my food restrictions.
Spectacular taste and value. We visited during dinner hour which was fairly quiet. The owner was short-handed and worked front service alone, but he is a warm and friendly guy. Great butter chicken and sizzling entrance on the tandoori! Can't say enough of the freshness and wonderful blend of aromas. Will definitely visit again
4.5 Stars This review is for the lunch buffet (We paid about $51 for 3 people before tax). What's better than being able to just stroll into a place and grab food right away when you're starving? It was marvelous and indulgent because everything was so good that it is hard not to gorge yourself. The buffet offers many options: meat, vegetables, starches, appetizers, sides, and even delicious dessert. I tried the tandoori chicken, goat curry, vegetable aloo, dal, butter chicken, and saag paneer, and more -- all flavorful and delicious. The creamy mango dessert was the cherry on top. I guess the only downside of a buffet is having to wait in line if it is crowded.
Great ambiance, professional staff, and generous quality for the lunch buffet. Usually, lunch buffet places skimp on quality and just go with cheap potato with a little cumin and naan. Not here! They even put pomegranate seeds into the chickpea salad which I noticed. Your effort doesn't go unnoticed here. Thank you and I hope blessings and profit in your future.
5/5 for the buffet, no brainer. The lunch buffet is the best meal you'll find around Seattle. We always go to lunch buffet and am never disappointed. For takeout tonight, like 3.5/5. Tonight we switched it up and came during dinner, there is no dinner buffet so we ordered a bunch of unique items to go knowing they will never be on the buffet line. I would pass on the appetizer combination, it wasn't memorable. None of the items were crispy after a 15 min drive home. I would pass on the delhi Indian street food column of the menu...it's sort of like Indian nachos but topped with soggy bread which we found to be weird even though the flavor is good. Garlic basil naan was surprisingly bland, not sure if we got an off one but other people rave about it. It was fluffy and fresh though, but barely any garlic or basil. Tasted like their regular naan. Also don't get the papadum to go, it gets crushed into nothing but crumbs. I love their papadum at the buffet though, it's fresh and perfect and not crushed. The highlight of takeout to go order was mousse and tandoori. The paneer lababdar (or Korma) curry was delicious too. Anyways, I was impressed by the tandoori combination with different types of meats for $21. There's shrimp, a little ground beef, ground lamb for variety, but most of it was delicious tandoori and lemon tandoori chicken cooked just right. Juicy and delicious. A fair value too for the meat you get. The mango mousse is a good takeout item too, $4 for 8 oz of mousse. Overall we'll always come back for buffet and if we're in a pinch, we would get tandoori and mousse and a little order of curry to go. Pass on the appetizers and Indian street food.
I go there at least once every 2-3 weeks for Sunday lunch. The lunch buffet is very cheap and the food and desserts are all great. The servers are a little unfriendly, but the food is delicious so I will keep going.
We got butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan! We both shared the rice. Super delicious and very filling! I definitely enjoyed the dishes, and it being my first time having Indian cuisine, was spectacular! Everyone was very welcoming and the space was warm and not super busy.
Really delicious flavors - we got seated right away on v-day - take that Italian restaurants nearby! Butter chicken and Chicken tikka masala were good, the cauliflower aloo gobi was fantastic and so memorable I ate an entire platter in one sitting. Good on fiber for the rest of the meal and night. The sweet lassi was also good. I'm glad I finally came here after nearly a decade of zooming by on Roosevelt on my way to Whole Foods.
