We visited Artha on Sunday evening. For such a big place it was quite empty and possibly because it was Sunday. Their menu is elaborate with lots of options and some Bengali dishes too. Many vegetarian options included.
We ordered dahi puri, jackfruit kofta, garlic naan. These were pretty good and very well presented. For dessert we ordered malpua which was the most average of everything that we ate. I am holding off on 1 star for that reason.
Staff were friendly and warm. Ambience was good.

We recently had catering for a party, and the food was absolutely amazing! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the pav bhaji and pani puri—it tasted so authentic, just like the chaat you get in India. The desserts were equally fantastic, with the mango mousse being an absolute standout. It was light, refreshing, and bursting with flavor. If you’re looking for delicious, authentic Indian food that’ll impress your guests, I highly recommend them!

I got a Togo order for a chicken biryani and a chicken lollypop. The lollypop didn’t have any flavor except the masala coat, the dip was substandard. The biryani was useless. It just had one piece of chicken even though I asked him how many pieces and he said two, next time if anyone order Togo make sure you open the box and check right there. One of the worst food I have ever experienced. Have some shame guys

We've done plenty of takeouts from Arth, and have recently been using them to cater for multiple events of 50 plus people. The chicken biryan is probably one of the best here, and so are they kebabs. Highly recommend this restaurant

One of the indian restaurants with some of the better tasting food. Now, I am finicky about authenticity and not willing to discount much. Given this, I still would say most of the food was very good.
The paani puri was great, they do mix the greena and red to make the shot, which I personally like separately, but that's okay.
The bengali fish fry, was better tasting than expectations, one of the reasons I wasn't hoping much is because the fish used for it, and the way that fish is cut is hard to find here. However, the marinade was great and made up for it, but there was a kasundi with it, tartar sauce or mayo simply doesn't cut it.
The kodai shutir kochuri was very very good, the ratio of stuffing to covering was great and so was the size of each kochuri.
The alur dom was good, nothing like a bengali alur dom, but nevertheless, it tastes great.
The jeera rice had the right spices in it and the saag goshth was good, the sauce very nice, unfortunately the meat was chewy, needed more cook time.
The pahar gunj k chhole bature was a disaster. The chhole was not at all how it is made. This is a common problem across all indian restaurants here though, the chile chawal ka chhole is not the chhole bature ka chhole, any delhi person can tell you that.
Overall, still a good place to visit and I will be going back to try some of the kababs for sure.

We visited the restaurant for a family dinner with senior parents, siblings, and a young infant in a stroller. Upon arrival, we were seated at a table in the middle of the restaurant, and we requested to be moved to a corner table for the stroller to be parked securely and to avoid obstructing the servers. Unfortunately, our request was declined because those tables were being held in case a larger party arrived, even though the restaurant was not crowded when we arrived at 6:30 PM.
Ultimately, those tables were given to a smaller group after the larger party failed to show up. It was disappointing that the staff didn’t prioritize families with seniors and young children, especially when there was ample opportunity to accommodate us. While the food was good, we felt that the guest relations and courtesy fell short of expectations.
Kid-friendliness: Resturant is kid friendly, but they were not able to accommodate our infant in a stroller in a safe corner. They put us in the middle right next to another table, where there was a risk of servers dropping things, inspite of being pretty empty.

Extremely good food and service. Best biriyani in the Seattle area. The Bengali-style fish fry is a must-have. Highly recommend.

Placed an on an order online at 5:00pm. Confirmation said order will be ready at 5:35pm. Showed up form pickup at 5:35pm. Doors locked. I called the restaurant and the person stated the restaurant doesn’t open until 6:30pm. Because the order was placed through DoorDash Restaurant from the Artha website, owner would not refund my CC payment. He told me to get my refund from Door Dash! The Google Maps clearly states the restaurant is open! Stay AWAY from this restaurant!!!

This restaurant is a perfect example of how food is served in India. The food was amazing, the vibe was amazing, in fact it will take you back to India. I tried a lot of different things here but my favorite was jackfruit cutlet. The food is delicious and drinks are amazing, do try the Kala khatta mojito.

I recently had the pleasure of trying the butter chicken at Arth, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. The chicken was incredibly tender, soaking up the rich, creamy sauce that was perfectly spiced. Each bite was a delightful explosion of flavor, complemented by the fresh garlic naan that was ideal for scooping up every last drop. The ambiance of the restaurant added to the experience, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine???
