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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The dosa came out hot, golden, and perfectly crisp, with a buttery, spiced potato filling that was rich and comforting. The chutneys—creamy coconut, spicy tomato, and cooling mint—were fresh and flavorful. This wasn’t just a good dosa—it was next level. Babai Dosa nails it with bold, authentic flavors that make it easily one of the best Indian spots I’ve ever tried.“

“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.“

“Enjoyed the dinner! tasty food!“

“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’m local and never stopped in before, really nice staff, food was delicious. Ordered butter chicken and a Kathi roll, everything was excellent with superb flavor. Place was sparkling clean. Can’t believe I never tried it before. I’ll definitely be back!“

“very good food I like this place“

“I recently tried the Paneer Tikka Burger at Chatpata Kanishka, and honestly, it was amazing! The paneer was perfectly marinated with authentic tikka spices and grilled just right – soft inside and slightly crispy outside. The flavors were rich, smoky, and truly desi-style.

The burger bun was fresh and soft, and the combination of mint chutney, fresh veggies, and juicy paneer made every bite full of taste. It’s a perfect fusion of Indian spice with a modern burger twist.

If you love paneer and chatpata flavors, this burger is definitely a must-try! Great taste, good quality, and totally worth the price. Highly recommended! 👍🔥“

“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!“

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

“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“

“Delicious food, great service. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Bombay Express in the University District is a fantastic spot for amazing, affordable Indian food. The flavors are authentic, portions are generous, and it’s open late, perfect for satisfying those late-night cravings without spending much.“

“Food and service was excellent!“

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

“We had such a wonderful experience at Mint & Martini in Capitol Hill. The ambiance is modern but still cozy, and the service was warm and attentive throughout our meal. The cocktails/mocktails were fantastic, especially the mint-based drinks, and paired really well with the food.“

“I recently ordered catering from Café India for a group of 35 people, and the experience exceeded expectations. Our order included a vegetarian appetizer platter, butter chicken, paneer tikka masala, dal makhani, and naan. They also thoughtfully added complimentary mint-cilantro and tamarind chutneys, along with salad, rice, and raita—such a nice bonus.

The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. Every dish was well-balanced and delicious. My guests couldn’t stop talking about it, and many asked where the food was from.

Café India truly delivered on both quality and service. Highly recommend them for catering—I’ll definitely be ordering again!“

“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. 😀“

“Excellent food, friendly staff“

“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!“

“We walked into Bombay Bistro with 4 adults. I arrived a bit late with our newborn and requested a larger table to fit the baby car seat. Even though the restaurant was almost empty at 9:30 PM, the staff initially asked us to place the car seat at a different seating location, which felt a bit insensitive, though they eventually accommodated us. The food was excellent, but our bill included an 18% service charge, and it wasn’t clear whether this was applied because of the infant or the larger table. Overall, delicious food, but a little more consideration for families would make the experience even better.“

“What a wonderful place to be! The food was flavourful and fresh, and the serving staff was warm and welcoming. We ordered Tensing Momos, Maas ko Bara (pan fried monk bean patties with spices) and my friend ordered the thali with khukura ko masu. Everything was freshly prepared, and tasted comforting, just like a home cooked meal. Highly recommend and will visit again!“

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

“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“

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

“I love food chiken chilly“

“It’s always the greatest treat to come here!.

We are very grateful for the opportunity to support organic practices when we dine as they have an organic menu.

The warmth here can also be felt in the smiles and kind staff. Shimul always says hi and treats us very well.

We are already salivating for our next experience!“

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

“The vegetarian selection is exceptional. The Vegetable Biryani served in a traditional hand-painted clay pot was fragrant and perfectly spiced.

Service was top-notch and wait times were minimal (under 10 minutes). The free parking lot can be a bit crowded, so plan accordingly, but the quality of the meal is well worth the effort.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking elevated Indian cuisine with a large vegetarian menu.“

“We had some of the best vegetarian food at Amulya! We’ve visited multiple times, and every single experience has been consistently excellent. The variety on the menu is impressive, and the flavors never disappoint. As someone who enjoys spicy food, I especially appreciate the perfect balance of taste and spices they bring to every dish. They also offer a buffet at a very reasonable price, which makes it an even better value for the quality and selection they provide. Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious and satisfying vegetarian options!“

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

“The paneer burger used to be mind blowing. I would have become vegetarian if I could eat it every single day. But they switched out the cheese to low quality American cheese which is not even real cheese by the way and I’m really disappointed with how it has affected the burger taste. Please bring back the original recipe! Serving quality food is worth it, it’s what keeps people coming back !!! Please please !!“

“Good food and lots of gluten free options“

“Great food and genuinely warm staff. One day I ordered Idli through DoorDash, but they had run out of fresh batter. The next time I visited, they remembered and surprised me with a complimentary Uttapam to make up for it. That kind of thoughtful service really stood out.“

“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 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 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“

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

“Bejawada biryani aa mazaka.!! The best biryani in town 🙌🏻🤟🏻🫡🎉“

“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“

“Visited the restaurant on a Friday evening with my wife, we had a great time there, enjoyed a mocktail and a local IPA beer. We ordered two appetizers, a lamb curry, and garlic bread; the waiter gave us a dessert at the end of the meal. The foods were great and highly recommended especially if you live in SLU.“
