The Indian food is where it’s at. I didn’t realize they served Indian food until I read the other reviews. We enjoyed the Saag Paneer, coconut chicken curry, and samosas. All were delicious! What an awesome hidden gem in Enumclaw. If you like Indian food, check it out!

We finally tried this charming place. There were two of us but we both had two different dining experiences. I let’s start with the positive, the service was wonderful! I ordered off of the Indian menu and hands down, their buttered chicken was spectacular! They need to sell their sauce! And the naan! OMG! I’m still thinking about it! The only negative is the seafood. We had the clams and my husband had the scallops and mushrooms. I feel that if they avoid all seafood, this place with the new owners will thrive. Honestly, I’ll eat their Indian food All. Day. Long! I would love for it to be only Indian. 😋

I hate to put out a negative review of a small business, but the food here wasn't very good and we were very disappointed. We started with a salad, which we were surprised to find included a generous scoop of rice and potatoes. It's our fault, of course, for not clocking "rice" in the description, but I've never (in America or in my trips to India) had rice mixed into my salad. It actually lacked the nuts and feta advertised, which they then promptly fixed upon request.
We ordered the shrimp biryani and it was too wet - when they cooked the rice, they used too much water and so the rice was overly moist instead of being al dente. It was more of a "one pot" style very basic biryani (I'd describe it more as a pulao honestly than biryani) than a traditional biryani, but the shrimp in it was cooked very well and was quite flavorful. We also ordered the saag paneer, which was decent. It wasn't green (which I suspect means they watered it down with milk or something, because the green color in saag paneer should occur totally naturally), but the flavor was decent. The naan bread it was served with was more of an almost-focaccia flatbread, which was actually quite good.
We risked dessert, which was a homemade cookie that was decent in flavor but too gritty in texture.
I wouldn't necessarily come back here myself, but they get 3 stars for great service and being kind.

As mentioned by other reviewers, this business changed ownership and added Indian cuisine to an American style menu. Being a Gordon Ramsay fan, foodie, and amateur cook, I know having 2 different menu options is a big no-no. My friend who recommended it from before the change in ownership likes Indian food, so he tied it and liked it. My review is on an item I ordered from the American cuisine menu. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger, thinking that would be a safe bet since I already had a bad feeling about this place. The menu says you need to pick white, wheat, or sourdough bread for your burger. I asked the server if the burger came on a bun or if I had to choose the bread. She said I had to choose the bread so I picked sourdough. When she brought my plate out, it was served on a bun. Then I lifted the bun, and it was a mess! They added some kind of mystery sauce, the bacon was old and overcooked, and the burger looked like something a dog created. It was nowhere close to being a round patty. The meat was WAY overcooked, and that was a good thing because it seemed very old meat. In a word, DISGUSTING. The hand cut fries were soggy and glistening with excess oil. Possibly the WORST bacon cheeseburger I've ever eaten. I could easily make a bacon cheeseburger and fries better myself. This restaurant needs to decide what kind of restaurant they are. Their 2 menus are way too large to ensure the quality and freshness of the food they serve. I don't think this restaurant will last based on the lack of customers and the experience I had. I can not recommend this restaurant as there are plenty of great restaurants within a few blocks.

This used to be such a gem of a place. The new owner replaced the classy seasonal rotating menu with a lot of Indian food. It's decent, but I've had better Indian food, even in South King County (not in Enumclaw, of course). It's a welcome addition to the restaurant choices in Enumclaw, it's just a shame that it replaces such a wonderful dining experience. I would have _much_ rathered they change the name when they changed ownership - it feels dishonest to use all the reviews from the previous owners for a completely different style.
If I lived closer, I might stop by occasionally. For my money, I'll drive 25 minutes for good Indian food elsewhere rather than 10 minutes for ok Indian food here.

Amazing! Best butter chicken and naan we have ever tasted. (And this is coming from a city dwelling foodie who orders Indian takeout on a regular basis). Was so pleased to discover this gem of a restaurant in Enumclaw- perfect place to stop for a heart homey authentic Indian dinner on the way home from Crystal. We had the samosas (delish), desi style NY steak, shrimp biryani and butter chicken. All the dishes were cooked to perfection, but the butter chicken was by far the standout. Next time I’m afraid we will all be ordering the same dish- it was that good!

This place is cozy and cute! We ordered the Saag paneer and the Butter Chicken. Perfectly spiced and arrived with home made naan, refreshing chutney, micro chopped salad and perfectly cooked long grain rice. Highly recommend this neighborhood spot.

This place does not get enough credit. Since the new owners have taken over, they’ve added authentic Indian food to the menu and it’s INCREDIBLE. The butter chicken and coconut chicken curry are both spectacular. Enumclaw needed something that wasn’t burgers/pizza/mexican (all good but tons of options already) and this place is it. Best little hidden gem to swing in and warm up after a day on the slopes.
Kid-friendliness: Daughter loved the fish and chips, the fries were thick cut steak fries made in-house and she enjoyed them.
If you like authentic, fresh made Indian food, this is the place. One would think they would be located in Bellevue or Seattle, but no, we are lucky to have them here.

Try the Indian menu! Layers and layers of flavor. The mango chutney, with the coconut curry chicken, on top of deep-fried naan: revelatory.

Wow! So glad we found this place! Indian food is AMAZING and I have been to India and have had lots of Indian food. The setting is warm and inviting. Talked with the owner and staff-they are so personable you feel more like you’re a guest in their home than just another customer at a busy restaurant. We’ve been here twice in the last 2 weeks. The coconut chicken curry is phenomenal. The naan is made in a pizza oven so the outside is crisp and the inside is soft-woah! :) Brittney is so sweet. She remembered my drink order from my visit 2 weeks ago-is that great service or what? A rare gem-we love this place!:)

Great little restaurant. Had the halibut which was great. Also had the samosas. The chutney served with them was awesome. I will be back. Highly recommend!
