We ordered kadai paneer, veg biryani , schezwan momos, and garlic naan.. We did not like the food, the biryani was really bad, kadai paneer was okay. Only thing we liked is schezwan momos. I think the place is overhyped

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for a long time, and it used to be exceptional—consistently great food, quality ingredients, and an experience I genuinely looked forward to. Unfortunately, my visit yesterday was a big disappointment.

Something has clearly changed, and not in a good way. The food quality has gone down significantly—flavors were off, presentation felt rushed, and overall it lacked the care and consistency that once made this place stand out. For someone visiting for the first time, it might still feel “okay,” but for those of us who remember how good it used to be, the difference is very noticeable.

What made this especially disappointing is that I have had wonderful experiences here in the past, which is why this decline stood out so much. Yesterday’s experience felt downhill compared to the standards this restaurant once set for itself.

I truly hope this is temporary and that the restaurant finds its way back to the quality and experience that made it special before..

Food just looked good in pictures but no whatsoever! Butter chicken was bland. Rabri Phirni was like eating mashed rice.

By far the best Indian restaurant in Bellevue! Had the chicken appetizer, lasagna paneer and the milk cake. Milk cake was incredible. Sally was a great & super friendly. Made the dining experience special.

I had an amazing experience at Chutneys The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a casual or special occasion. The staff is friendly and attentive
The food is absolutely delicious authentic flavors, generous portions, and beautifully presented. From their appetizers to the main courses, everything was fresh and full of flavor.
Everyone was amazing from the owners to the servers and the chef

“Overpriced Hype, Underwhelming Taste.”

I visited Chutneys last evening and honestly, I was quite disappointed with the overall experience. While the staff was friendly and attentive (service deserves 4/5), the food and drinks did not live up to the hype or pricing. Here’s my breakdown:
• Kadak Chai – I specifically asked if they had good chai and ordered it with high expectations. Unfortunately, it was not good at all.
• Amritsari Fish (Starter) – Did not meet expectations; lacked taste and freshness. Rating: 0.5/5
• Palak Paneer – The gravy was decent, but the paneer was hard and chewy, which spoiled the dish. Rating: 2.5/5
• Mumbai Cha Kolhapuri Chicken – An average dish at best. Rating: 2.5/5
• Tandoori Roti – Extremely hard, almost painful to chew, and we had to leave it halfway.
• Pesto Naan – Felt like plain naan with pesto smeared on top after baking; very disappointing. Rating: 0.5/5
• Garlic Naan – Slightly better but still too chewy.

Overall Rating: 0.5/5
This place feels overrated and overpriced. While the staff will enthusiastically promote their food and make you feel welcomed, the actual taste and quality are nowhere close to the claims. Definitely not worth the hype.

I was there for my birthday last night with my family, and our server really made our day! She was so thoughtful and made sure we had a great celebration, taking care of the tiniest details!! Thank you so much. The food and ambience are pretty good as well.
