50 Best Indian Restaurants near Kirkland

“The place was very busy, this may cause a variety of unwanted situations some of which are caused by customers themselves. We had to wait a little over 20 minutes which is not unusual for the day and time especially when the food is reported to be very good. While we waited we checked the menu and ordered our food which came to us nice and hot and without much waiting. We found the service to be very good and the food was excellent. We had the chicken tikka massala and the mutton as our main plates and also had the fried kale "fritters" (I forgot the name) which was very tasty. Everything was good and we can say this is a great place for Indian food. Will return.“

“Pradeesh and Karthik provided excellent and friendly service. This was our first visit and will definitely be back. We highly recommend ordering Lamb Biryani, chicken curry and garlic naan. The portions were very generous.“

“I have visited this restaurant with my friends on Friday evening. Nice hospitality and service, should give 5 start for it. Good vegetable options were available, we tried the Paneer Hariyali(grilled and not fried) and it was very tasty; also other vegetable food was great and tasty. I also tried their Goat Biryani and found to be ok compared to other restaurant, definitely suggest to improve on Biryani taste.“

“We celebrated my daughter's birthday with dinner at this restaurant, and it was our first time trying it out. We were thoroughly impressed! Everything we ordered was top-notch, but the standout dish was the Mughlai Chicken - it's hands down the best we've had in Seattle among all the Indian restaurants we've tried. The Tandoori Sizzler was also delicious, packed with flavor and utterly yummy. Highly recommend!“

“Paneer dosa was excellent, fortified with ghee. Peanut chutney was good. Podi dosa was very good, crisp with tasty podi.
Free chai was greatly appreciated for the cold day

Sambar was not advertised so didn't expect it, but having hot sambar for the cold day would take this dosa spot to the next level.“

“Ridiculously delicious! The chef truly gets the best flavors out of the ingredients and I struggle to not eat too much. I can HIGHLY recommend this place. I’ve become a regular at this place and everyone is so nice!“

“One of the few truly tasty places in Seattle. The smell first caught my attention, and the food did not disappoint when I went in. It is a spicy flavor explosion. With this right next to my light rail stop, I worry I will soon be broke and fat.“

“Enjoyed the dinner! tasty food!“

“Ate their paneer biryani and it was the worst in the area. I'm surprised because you would think with so many Indian restaurants around, this place should've checked competition before starting it.“

“Ok I just had THE BEST food here!! The momos were to die for! The lamb samosa, bloody delicious!! I can not wait to come back to Seattle again and eat here. I will most certainly be recommending them to everyone!!!“

“I had a wonderful lunch today. I like trying new things. I had the Mysore dosa and mango chicken curry. Both were wonderful.“

“Went to lunch there today with my friend. The food was delicious, I had the chicken tikka, Mediterranean salad, and chai. My friend had chicken vindaloo with garlic naan. The mango lemonade tasted like summer! The food was so delicious and flavorful! I highly recommend!“

“Delicious food, great service. Highly recommend!“

“Food and service was excellent!“

“This Place; I can say some of the best Indian restaurant I’ve visited after Rasika in D.C & Rooh in Chicago. Food is excellent, whoever have mastered the menu definitely knows what exactly the surrounding of this place will love. We ordered Paneer 65, their sauce 🙌🏼 excellent, Ghonghura Paneer - Gravy was outstanding & I’d taste the flavor of Ghongura Pickle at the end. Now the main dish Daulat Ki Chaat. I have always wondered how exactly it taste and it took me nearly 1yr to make it by understanding the process, I made it and then India’s top Chef released his video on the same on YouTube. Finally I got this here in Seattle, we ordered - not worried seeing price tag 🏷️ and I said I want ti get this as I want to know what’s the difference in this and I made. Undoubtedly Great & it was mastered by the Chef in the kitchen served with Son Papadi at the bottom to add extra crunch to the Clouds of Milk with flavors of Saffron & Rose. Loved it Loved It ❤️“

“very good food I like this place“

“The very best Vegetarian Restaurant“

“The food was delicious and the staff were great. It didn't come up when I googled restaurants near our hotel but we passed it on the way to another and decided to eat there instead. So glad we did. We are on a road trip from England and the lady who served us gave my husband a dessert on the house and also recommended places to visit 😀“

“Great food , great service.
More of a takeout place with limited seating.
The staff were friendly .
We got the vada pav , chicken tikka sandwiches and jaggery cake.
All of them were delicious and good portion size at reasonable prices.
Highly recommend this place .“

“Stopped here before heading to a concert at The Crocodile, and it hit the spot! I got the Chowmein and enjoyed it. I got medium spiciness and wish I had gotten it a little spicer. The portion size was plenty and I recommend getting the garlic naan bread. They were out of puri but had no complaints otherwise.

“We thought we would try this great Indian restaurant in North East Seattle and and glad we did-it's really super good! We ordered curried goat, lamb vindaloo extra spicy- raita, stuffed kulcha, basmati and brown rice and I have two glasses of Indian wine, one rose and one Cabernet. I especially love the rosé. The chef came out to talk to us afterward and told us that the goat is fresh from a local butcher. And all of his food are traditional Indian. He was a most friendly and nice person.“

“The service at cafe india restaurant is excellent. We did a christmas party over here. The staff is polite and attentive. The food was so delicious and service was also really great too. The entire experience was wonderful. Amarjit aujla is the great chef i am impressed by his cooking and the way he cooks naan and tandoori chicken is fantastic and he having cooking experience of 25 years.

“We visited Vrindaavan recently, tried couple of items from their menu...gobi manchurian(It was crispy and had the perfect spice), wada pav(reminded us of the college day :)), strawberry & rabdi cake shooters were unique and very yummy!!. Can't wait to go back again and try more items :D“

“Best Chicken Tikka Marsala ever! Our new favorite Indian restaurant.“

“Love this place. You can't get a full meal sub $15 in many places in the area, and definitely few that are as quality as Bombay Burger. They're also open late relative to other restaurants in the area.
I go here all the time and recommend it to my friends, eating fries with chutney is awesome :3“

“Perfect combination of great food , presentation and taste… a must try“

“Today was our first time visiting Seattle and we were craving some Indian food. Taste of Indian did NOT disappoint me. The Tikka masala and naan were phenomenal. The service was also amazing. The staff is extremely friendly and very attentive. The atmosphere was also very relaxed and welcoming. I was given a complimentary refill of my reisling and they also give you a little slice of cheesecake at the end of your meal. Whether you are going for a date night or a family meal, this place is a perfect option. If we are ever visiting Seattle again, we will be returning to this spot!“

“Sridevi aunty made my day with yummy food ! She cooks it all by herself and such a sweet lady that she comes to your table to talk and shares her warmth! She kept giving samples of Payasam which is 11/10 and chakra pongal 10/10 she jus made for some catering order !
Definitely recommend ?!“

“Everything at Spice Waala is delicious! My go-to is an Aloo Tikki Kathi roll and masala chai. Service is always great, and they do amazing work giving back to people in the community. 💯 recommend this family owned and operated local small business!“

“Delicious dishes and sauces, I love the dahi samosa chat, and we get the tamarind and date chutney by the jar. Great chai, too!“

“I love food chiken chilly“

“If you’re craving authentic Telugu food, Ruchi Foods is the place to be! The flavors are bold, the spice levels are just right (especially for those who love a good kick 🔥), and every dish tastes like it’s straight from a home kitchen in Andhra“

“We had Four seperate entrees, all which were amazing. Pork Vindaloo Dungeness Crab Curry Goat Curry Roasted Lamb you can not go wrong with any of these choices!“

“Good food and lots of gluten free options“

“Have eaten here for years and never taken the time to review but now's the time! Huge menu, food is very flavorful with generous portions (including the buffet), but perhaps most importantly the staff is always friendly, welcoming, and efficient (it's difficult to get to the bottom of your water glass as they are always returning to fill it up!) Suel is particularly friendly with a good sense of humor! We love Masala and give it our highest recommendation without hesitation!“

“I love this restaurant! The food and the atmosphere is amazing! I can't wait to go back. 😀“

“We ❤️ it Open kitchen concept Food is delicious“

“The food is excelent!, a lots of dishes…. Everthing delicious 👌🏽“

“Day trip to the westside, where we found this little gem in Redmond. By far, THE BEST Indian Pakistani food we have ever had. With every bite, we could taste how much care & love went into preparing their authentic ingredients. I could have ordered every item on their menu, but decided on lamb korma with pulao rice, chicken korma & samosa. It was plenty for us to share. We met both the owner & chef. They were so kind & grateful we visited. Absolutely magnificent! #FoodyMoody“

“Noor helped us today. He was kind, informative ( helped us choose good menu for food and drinks ). Food and drinks all came quick. Food was delicious. Overall, excellent experience and we will come again :) Highly recommended!“

“The Chicken Tacos were perfect! Great place to grab a coffee or smoothie in the morn, then get a sandwich for lunch. when you get off, work go back and have a quick dinner with a drink! they have parking!! (tip your servers, they deserve it). Great prices & convenient if you work, play or live in the area.“

“Fantastic bang for your buck, Tikka Masala in Bellevue is worth going out of your way for. They have some fantastic variety in their menu, and do chicken curries especially well. But perhaps the crown jewel of their menu is the seafood biriyani. The shrimp is amazingly flavourful and the fish practically melts in your mouth. The portions are incredibly generous for the price. I always have leftovers after every visit. There are very few Indian restaurants in Western WA that top this one.“

“The food and service were very good. I had vegetable pakoras, peas pulao and chicken jalfrezi. I definitely would go there again when back in town.“

“We were visiting Seattle from New York, so we searched on Google and found the best reviews of Shahana Steakhouse. We decided to stop by for the Ramadan Buffet (we visited a couple more restaurants in Seattle), so the best Iftar buffet and the out-of-class service in the Seattle area is here, with excellent customer service and a perfectly managed buffet. I noticed they were crazy busy on weekdays. The restaurant was full of people, and there was a long line; the staff served dates in the line and continued filling the dishes with food, even for families that were joining very late. Everything was fresh and warm, including their delicious pizza, fried chicken, and tikka boti. I loved Shahi Tukray; you must try it if you are there for a buffet. They even served the food at the tables for the customers who came in later. They came to us twice at our table to serve the food. Everything was very well set up, and there was fantastic management. I am going there for suhoor/breakfast and will let you all know about the homemade parathas and omelets. Stay tuned.“

“I always come to Daawat when I am in Seattle and in the mood for Indian. Its a great place to both eat and come for cocktails. They have some very creative cocktails (think dirty/alcoholic mango lassi). Give it a try!“

“came here looking to eat on a budget and for indian food (being usually super expensive), i got a good meal around $15! the samosas are a must if you’re visiting for the first time! 8oz servings are amazing for 1 person!

the owner and staff are super kind and welcoming! i’ll definitely come back for more!“

“Awesome food, friendly service definitely recommend this place. Lots of Vegan and Dairy free options as well.“
