Quick and easy spot for indian food. It's not the best indian food I've had but not the worst either. They're open late which is a bonus. I'd recommend the chicken tikka masala or butter chicken , lamb korma and samosas (warning they are VERY spicy ). Don't forget to order the gulab jamun for dessert. There is a huge parking lot so it is easy to go eat here.
What this place lacks in charm, plates, or non-plastic silverware, it makes up for with a ridiculously enticing smell and some very strong flavors. Walking down Bellevue Way, I was drawn into this place by the scent that wafted down the street. I ordered the kadhai lamb, which did not disappoint. It was super savory and spicy and full of meat and goodness. The naan was pleasingly floury and paired with it nicely. Overall, it was just better than I expected. It is also nice that they are open late in Bellevue where they roll up the streets at 9:30.
This is my favorite spot for catering! The Samosa Chaat is incredible, and the chaats and biryani are always a hit. They're flavorful, perfectly spiced, and never disappoint. Tip: Call ahead for suggested serving sizes--they're super helpful.
Once again, I have the tandoori chicken and it is absolutely amazing. The non-is amazing, the rice is amazing, everything is wonderful.
Excellent Indian food for a great price in this area. The chaat and curries really hit the spot. Don't expect fancy decor and waitstaff - it's mostly self serve, fast-casual style eating. The fact that they give you a choice of 8oz and 16oz curries also lets you try more things a la carte - great idea. Highly recommend this place if you want to try a quick lunch or dinner with colleagues without feeling the typical "food coma" after an Indian restaurant meal.
Food is economical and service is fast. It's opened late night which is a big plus. If you happen to get their lady finger ( Bhindi ), do try out, loved it.
Open late!!!! I love places open past 10pm because I get off work late and sometimes don't eat dinner till after. At 11pm this place was still poppin!!!! Great customer service and food came out fresh and fast! The naan was good and I want to try those desserts from the fridge soon.
