Indian Restaurants near Federal Way

“This is the best Indian food in Federal Way hands down. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I am a vegetarian and they have a lot to choose from. Their Naan is the best I've ever had. The restaurant is dealing with the light rail construction so make sure to enter Gateway Plaza from 320th. Their buffet is amazing and a great value. Please support this excellent restaurant because I want to keep going there!

Vegetarian options: There is a whole menu section of vegetarian options and I have tried every one. They are all delicious. No kidding.

Parking: This restaurant is located in Gateway Plaza with other businesses so there is plenty of parking.“

“Ordered the vegetarian dinner for two directly through their website. The dinner was ready for pickup promptly at the appointed time. The servings were generous. Spice levels were good. I wasn’t able to specify spice level so I anticipated blandness but was pleasantly surprised. Their daal was phenomenal. Definitely was worth more than the value paid. Will come back again“

“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.“

“I was a bit bummed trying Indian food in the south Seattle area after my atrocious experience with East India grill ( don’t go there EVER unless you want to get charged extra after you’ve already paid and also want mediocre food).
I tried this place out with my family and everyone LOVED it. We had tandoori chicken and chicken tikka. Their naan bread was amazing and this mix of crispy but soft. Best naan I have had at an Indian place. I lived on the east coast for while with tons of Indian places on every corner so that’s a high compliment to pay.
The staff were super polite and nice but also not overbearing at all. Answered questions and even heated up my tandoori chicken again because I thought it was an entree and not an appetizer and it had come out sooner than expected.
The price was also totally reasonable, maybe even underpriced, especially for the quality of food and service they have.
The only slight criticism I have is the ambiance. It’s a clean place but it feels like I was eating at a bodega with harsh hospital lights. They could dim the lights and add some color and decor etc.
overall I highly recommend this place and I will be eating here again and again!“

“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!“

“Vegetarian and Indian is some of my favorite food, Angar Kitchen didn't disappoint. Food was delicious, we both were stuffed. The atmosphere and decor are really on point here though, it's very modern and beautiful. Definitely thoughtfully designed with even the dishes the food is served in being chic and fit the overall aesthetic. Try it out!“

“So happy to have a great Indian restaurant in Auburn!!! Definitely give these guys a try.“

“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.“

“Tasty Indian Cuisine consistently exceeds my high expectations with its exceptional food and variety of dishes, from vegetarian to meat options, ensuring there’s something for everyone. The service is always top-notch, with the front man and chef making sure every guest feels welcome and well taken care of.

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options are simply outstanding. The front man explains each option in detail, answering questions with clarity, ensure that you feel confident in your choice.“

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

“Great service and really good food. Staff are super helpful with recommendations. Will definitely go again.“

“Typical Indian place with a standard menu. Most dishes are reasonably priced. Many vegetarian options. The roti and korma we ordered were good. But Biryani tasted average with burnt broccoli and cauliflower. Serving time was quick. Plenty of parking outside.“

“Vegetarian options: We went there for lunch and had blast we ordered butter paneer and palak paneer with garlic naan. It’s 10/10. gravy was so delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. And in last we ordered chai even though they don’t have chai in the menu still they made for us and it was out of this world.“

“Janoon serves the best Indian food I’ve ever had, hands down. My family and I are regulars, and we’ve sampled most of the menu. My personal favorites are the Lamb Curry, Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka, and, of course, the fresh naan!

Now for the downsides: They’re closed on Tuesdays, likely because it’s a family-run operation. Occasionally, there’s a bit of a language barrier with the staff, but we always manage to communicate just fine. The service isn’t five-star, but they do their best. The location is in an office park, so the dining area isn’t the most comfortable or inviting due to the limited space.

But here’s the good: The food more than makes up for any shortcomings. It’s so good, you’ll forget all about the minor issues. The staff is incredibly sweet, and the space is always clean and well-maintained. I find myself needing to eat here at least once a month, or I genuinely miss it. My adult kids order from here twice a week! If you think you’ve had Indian food before, think again. My son’s girlfriend, who comes from an Indian family, says, “This is as authentic as my grandmother’s cooking, and hands down the best in Seattle.” A friend of mine even needed a cigarette after eating here—it’s that good.

My suggestions for the owners: Never change the food or your recipes. But consider finding an investor or securing a loan to relocate to a place like Kent Station or Southcenter. Add booths, tables, and decor, and hire some top-notch waitstaff and front-of-house management. With food this amazing, paired with a more polished atmosphere, you’d be packed 24/7. I have no doubt that Janoon could become a multi-location success, and it’s already my all-time favorite Indian restaurant.“

“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.“

“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“

“Great service and really good food. Staff are super helpful with recommendations. Will definitely go again.“

“This was a great spot for some delicious chat and quick eats. I had the chicken kathi roll and pav bhaji. They were both made very well, and served pretty quickly. Will definitely visit again.

There is a lot of parking, but the lot has a weird design and could be a hassle. We didn't have much issues ourselves, coz we went a little late in the day.“

“This place is wonderful! The food was delicious and the service was great! Super friendly, big portions (the plate of pakoras for appetizer was massive!), tons of good vegan options. Will absolutely be back here again!“

“Excellent place! Next door to our vet, where a teriyaki place used to be, so decided to try for lunch. Two of us. Regular gyro sandwich with fries and soda combo, and jumbo extra meat shawarma. Guy working was super friendly and helpful. Food freshly prepared and hot. Fast too. Delicious food, meat was tender and flavorful, lots of toppings, crispy seasoned fries. Would not change anything about the food. We ate in. The guy brought the food to our table. Place is nice and fresh and clean but minimal decorations and no music or anything. Reasonable prices. We will definitely eat here again. Also, note excellent rating from county health. That's a good sign. On par with the best gyro places in the area. Worth trying!“

“First time here and it won’t be our last. We got a pepperoni pizza and it was so delicious and flavorful, the crust was light and buttery, just the way we like it. It didn’t make it to the 5 freeway and it was done. We waited patiently to get home to try the butter chicken and we were not disappointed. The curry was mildly spicy, the naan was soft and very edible, and the rice was not dry and made just right. We’ve been looking for a good curry place and I think we just found it. Pizza and curry what else could you ask for. The man helping my daughter and I was very kind and friendly. Hopefully, they’ll consider opening one here in Kitsap County.“

“A family owned joint, for the price they offer - the food is good. I always go for the lunch specials which is under $11 (excluding lamb) where they provide you the main dish with two additional chapatis and one portion of rice and the lunch menu is available until close in the evening. I have tried the butter chicken, the lamb curry, the chole bhature and they were good. Jalebi is the traditional three in one (lol) and delicious. I was not a fan of the dahi bhalla which was served very cold, my tooth got a shock, yeah that cold. Overall for lunch and dinner this is a good option. Worth the visit for a quick lunch/dinner once in a while.“

“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….“

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