50 Best Indian Restaurants near Kirkland

“They have very good food, and extremely nice people. My wife's favorite is the Butter Chicken. My favorite is the Hyderabad Chicken Biryani - yummy!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“After a very tiring afternoon at the park, we had dropped by kanishka, very hungry & wanting to eat some real nice food. All the items we ordered were tasty, fresh & very delicious. Paneer momos, bombay sandwuch, Dahi puri, kathi roll, spring rolls, mango lassi, spicy chaas - all equally appetising .“

I highly recommend trying the Mango Mojito and Desi Chicken Curry—they were fantastic. Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes. Kudos to the chefs and the entire team!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We came all the way from British Columbia and stopped here while traveling, and we're so glad we did! We were incredibly hungry after our drive, and this turned out to be one of the best dining experiences we've ever had.

The food was absolutely amazing—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We honestly can't remember the last time we enjoyed Indian food this much. It was authentic, delicious, and exceeded all of our expectations.

The service was just as outstanding. The staff were warm, welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home.

This place is definitely worth the drive and a must-try for anyone looking for exceptional Indian food. From now on, anytime we're heading toward Seattle, we'll make it a point to stop in Lynnwood just to eat here.

Highly recommended! We can't wait to come back.“

“Delicious food, great service. Highly recommend!“

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

“The very best Vegetarian Restaurant“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“This is such a wonderful, sweet, family-owned restaurant. I've been eating here for more than 15 years and highly recommend it. I've hosted birthday dinners in one of the side rooms, and come to celebrate many occasions with their delicious food. I mainly used to get the Indian food, like the tandoori dishes, thaalis, and malai kofta. Of late, I've been trying more of the Nepali food, especially the samai baaji, which is completely unique, and impossible to find in Seattle. The owners are always so kind and friendly, it's a true community place. I hope they stay in business forever.“

“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“

“Great spot! Fresh, bold flavors and fast service. The chicken tikka roll is amazing. Definitely worth a stop.“

“We had an absolutely amazing dinner here and tried a few dishes that completely blew us away. The Rawa Batata Tikki Chaat had the perfect crunch and tangy flavor balance, the Veg Platter was a delicious starter sampler, and the Chole Bhature was incredibly rich, flavorful, and satisfying. Every bite was delicious.
For drinks, we tried Kala Khatta Mojito: An absolute must-try! It instantly reminded us of the beloved childhood kala khatta flavors.
​Salted Lassi: If you order this, be prepared for a traditional, incredibly thick consistency! It caught us a bit by surprise just how rich and heavy it was, but it definitely pairs well with spicy food.
Highly recommend it.“

“Delicious food, authentic North Indian food, very friendly staff and quick service. My favorite stop.“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing flavor and great prices! A combo that equals me visiting over and over. Very impressive“

“New Interior, very professional team, great choice of dishes and very authentic food! Great portions too - thank you, was an family special dinner experience!“

“Feels understaffed every time I have been here. Food is touch and go on what's just ok or excellent. Parking is minimal and a real pain so make sure you're paying attention especially if you park in visitor parking of the apartment complex next door or your car will be trapped at 6pm. Surrounding neighborhood has lots of parking restrictions too and the lot for the tavern is like 10 spaces or so. Clearly they depend mostly on neighborhood people walking there.“

“We tried Thecha panner, Afghani Soya Chaap, Methi matar makhana curry, Kathal champaran currymj4, Khameeri roti, Rumali roti.

Except thecha panner, all other dishes are very flavourful. We ordered medium spice level for all dishes.

The service and ambiance are good.“

“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 love food chiken chilly“

“Ruchi is one of best restaurants which I have been buying for quite a long. Recently we did a catering order and the items they served are top notch based on my friends experience. We recommend their authentic Chicken Pakoda, Goat Chettinad, Chicken 65 biryani, Boneless Goat biryani, Fried rice, Samosa and many more. They also serve the food in hot container which kept our food warn till we serve.

Overall I will highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Myself and two others dropped in and we each had a different burger. It was delicious and the staff was friendly and competent. We were asked what level of heat we wanted from 1 to 5. I ordered a 4 and it was perfect. I would definitely eat there again.“

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

“Wonderful couple who own the place! They offer a great variety of food at their buffet and are very attentive and considerate of your needs. The mango mousse is 👌🏻

We decided to have them cater our wedding, and all of our guests absolutely loved the food! We couldn’t have been happier with our choice.“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Aroma Restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the ambience set the perfect tone—warm, inviting, and beautifully decorated. The food was exceptional with a wide variety of flavorful dishes to choose from. Every item we tried was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The kabab platter, whole fish, and biryani are must-tries—they were packed with flavor and beautifully presented. There’s truly something for everyone here, including a fantastic selection of mocktails that the whole family can enjoy. What really elevated our visit was the top-notch customer service. The staff was attentive, courteous, and made us feel very welcome. They went above and beyond to ensure our Mother’s Day celebration was special and memorable. I highly recommend it for an enjoyable meal. Don’t miss it!“

“The pizzas were just awesome!!!
Ordered for a party… Tandoori paneer pizza, and cheese pizza - former was a hit with the grown-ups, and the kiddos loved the latter.
If you’ve ordered from CanAm before, these ones are on the same lines, but feel lighter, and just the right punch of flavor.
The only thing I’d suggest is to let the folks know of your spice level preference - the default spice levels on the indian pizzas maybe on slightly higher side, which I am sure they can adjust per your order.
Loved the fresh ingredients, freshly baked dough, just the right amount of cheese/spice blend, and on-time service.
Definitely ordering again when in Bellevue!“

“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!“

“The food is ok. Nothing extra ordinary, but its really difficult for me to understand why they add 18% tips by default. Even for group of 4 or just one person for that matter. Price of food really on higher side with minimum quantity. Another thing is you cant split a bill. So on one table they only accept one credit card. This place is not for celebrating with friends for that reason.“
