Indian Restaurants near Federal Way

“Did takeout of a couple of their paneer dishes and naan. It was right at closing but the food was still great quality. The vegetables in the curries (palak and muttar) tasted really fresh, which feels like a small thing but made the dishes really stand out for us. We'd definitely order from here again!“

“Dining at maharaj was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance beautifully blends modern elegance with traditional Indian charm, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Each dish was a masterpiece—rich in flavor, perfectly spiced, and crafted with high-quality ingredients. Standouts included the tender Butter Chicken, aromatic Biryani, and the flaky, buttery Garlic Naan. The service was impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who enhanced the meal with thoughtful recommendations. Every detail, from the presentation to the balance of flavors, reflected authenticity and culinary expertise. For an unforgettable Indian dining experience, exceeds expectations and truly deserves its five-star rating. Highly recommended!“

“We spent a delightful evening eating fabulous food and conversing with very attentive and caring staff. The Punjabi fare was delicately prepared and spiced to our exact individual wishes! Just wonderful!“

“I visited the place for the first time on Saturday the 20th July 2024. I ate Nyam choms with ugali and sukuma. My friend had Mukimo. I enjoyed the atmosphere, the food and the service. The waitress was customer service oriented. Her name starts with an 'S'... can't remember it very well. The cocktail was made just as I asked. LIMS, the place to be.. See you soon.“

“First time trying Indian food and OMG... delicious!! Their coconut curry chicken, yum! Their lentil soup, yum!! The naan bread... delicious. We'll be back!“

“We had paneer pakora: presentation, serving size, sauces, preparation - all excellent. Then their special biryani: it comes with a fresh delicious sauce as well- fantastic flavor. And chicken tikka masala: the chicken was just barely charred which was wonderful, and the sauce is fabulous. Garlic naan: perfect. Very outgoing and welcoming server. It is a little hole in the wall, but their decor makes it cozy and comfortable.“

“Absolutely loved the food here! Every dish was packed with flavor and had that special, personal touch. Everything we tried was so good that we were tempted to come back the very next day. We had the Chole Bhature, Chilli Paneer, Aloo Paratha, Malai Kofta, and Mango Lassi — and enjoyed every bite. Totally recommend this place if you’re craving delicious, comforting Indian food!“

“Excellent service, absolutely delicious food, a beautiful sparkling atmosphere and the nicest people ever!! We love this restaurant!“

“The search is over. Our favorite Indian in Arlington is flooded and we don’t go up there anymore and are in Kent twice a month. Well this place was our third Indian restaurant in Kent that we tried and lo and behold they are perfect. We had butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, chicken biryani plan Nann and Chicken Tikka. Perfectly seasoned to our taste buds, just how we like it back home in the UK. This will be our Indian restaurant away from home when in Kent.“

“The location is isolated but the food is delicious. Saag, tikka masala, korma all good. They have dark meat! I much prefer dark meat over white meat. Mango lassi also delicious. The folks here are also super friendly and nice. Came in super late to order to go and they told us to sit and gave us water while we waited for our food. Definitely coming back.“

“I first heard about Kanishka's Des Moines location through a friend who saw somebody raving about it in a Seattle foodies group here on FB. My friend and I went to check it out and, well, it's my new favorite restaurant. I've been here 3 times and Door Dashed it once in the past month. The food every time has been absolutely fantastic, and the portion size are quite generous. The appetizers are almost entree-sized; the first time I went there with a friend, we filled up on appetizers and had to get our entrees to go. Dish recommendations: Chicken 65 and Fish Pakoras for appetizers; Mixed Grill, Lamb Vindaloo, and Paneer Korma entrees. Also, listen to your host as it seems like they're always trying out new dishes that haven't made it onto the menu yet.“

“Finally got in for a fabulous lunch at the new Fish and Chicken House! I tried and loved the Indian style fish and chips 😋 followed by Galub Jamun heated! Highly recommend! Cute, sparkly clean, and delicious food!“

“We had been ordering from doordash and decided we had to go inside. Spinach Naan is always amazing plus their vegetarian options are all delicious

I had the goat curry, some of the best I've ever had
We were given enough to share with all three of us at our table and provided sharing plates

Service was great as well. If you enjoy hole in the wall gems I highly recommend you stop here. It's our favourite comfort to eat here now

Vegetarian options: The tofu is always well seasoned. My go to is the veggie medly and it's full of flavour“

“For one reason, the Bombay Seafood Curry. You guys, it was out of this world good. The Samosas were just ok. The gentleman was great, the lady barely acknowledged my presence. That was pretty off putting. But I'll definitely return for this dish. Yum“

“We loved this place. Had some friends from Alaska who were flying out at midnight. We drove over from Port Orchard to take them to dinner. Indian food was requested so I found this place online. Very friendly people, the woman has a sense of humor to match my husband’s ! 😂 The service was prompt. The food was delicious. We will go back whenever we can.“

“It was my first time eating at this restaurant and the food was very very delicious. I give a 5 star definitely. I was much satisfied will definitely come back again….“

“Pad Sew Ew is delicious! Especially with shrimp or beef. Wide noodles are delicious and huge portions! Waitress is very nice, pretty, and prompt. My fav thai spot.“

“I called Urban Tapri to place an order for Samosa Chaat Attack.
My call was received by Naina, who was very polite and helpful.
She also suggested a few other options for me to try.
The food was delicious and prepared very well.
Overall, the service and food were both excellent.“

“the food is delicious 😋 yummy“

“Omg fave new pizza spot. Ordered cheeky chicken ranch pizza & bbq wings. Omg delicious flavors that melt in your mouth from the first bite. They provided an extra bag with additional condiments. It's thoughtful because not every restaurants includes them. Forget any chain pizza make this your new spot. Won't regret it. Plus the delivery person had such a great smile and attitude. Thank you for excellent 1st time customer experience. Will definitely be ordering in the future and referring ppl here.“

“Love this place, and love the mango smoothies!“

“I just decided to stop in here in a whim when I was dropping my dog at the groomer's because I have a surplus of tzatziki at home that I wanted to grab some pita bread to have with. Decided to get an order of hummus and some baklava as well to see if I needed to come back at a later time and try more items....I'm so glad I did because I'm blown away by how good this hummus/pita/baklava is. It's so good that I haven't even pulled the tzatziki out of the fridge to eat with this stuff. And I have way too much tzatziki! And it's GOOD tzatziki too! I just don't need it because that's how great the hummus from Gyro Shawrma is.“

“I’ve been coming here since the day they opened, and I can honestly say I’ve never had a bad experience with the food. Every single visit, the quality and taste are consistently excellent. If you know what authentic Indian food is supposed to taste like, you’ll immediately appreciate this place.

The fish pakora is absolutely out of this world—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. It’s one of the best I’ve had anywhere. The paranthas are always fresh, filling, and made the right way.

Customer service is pretty average, no matter how early you place your order, and the food is usually not ready right away. That said, it’s clearly because everything is made fresh and sold by weight, so the wait is completely worth it.

They’ve expanded the menu quite a bit over time, and while prices have gone up recently, the taste and quality make it worth every dollar. This is still my go-to spot and always will be.
