I got the lunch special with rice and butter chicken for $10. It came with a generous amount of rice and a scoop of butter chicken. Spice level of 3 was perfect for me. It costs an extra $1 to dine in, so I ate outside. Preparation took 10-15 minutes. Overall, I'm very happy with the price, flavor, and friendly service, and I would come again!

The Gold Standard for South Indian Cuisine
Many restaurants have come and gone here in the U DIstrict where I live. Chili's goes on, year over year, due to 2 factors.
First, the food is gourmet quality, as documented by their 5 star review from the Seattle Times. Those are not given as gifts. (And the highest rating for food handling, if that matters to you.)
Then, there is Anila, owner and operator, who built her business...
