50 Best Indian Restaurants in Seattle

“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!!!“

“Enjoyed the dinner! tasty food!“

“A great little Indian style restaurant in Pioneer Square. Fun decor and a hip vibe. Was a little worried when they didn't ask for a spice level of our entrees, but they were made to our satisfaction. Nice serving sizes and a decent amount of options on the menu. I can be a little picky about my Indian food, but this one passed my test.“

“We ordered garlic naan, lacha parata with shahi paneer curry. The food was delicious. Even though I’m not great fan of sweets, I felt the rice pudding was good. I can consider to visit this place again.

Let me know your thoughts?“

“I just had another wonderful experience at Meesha. Their elevated and creative food is flavorful and filling with options for everyone, including vegans, vegetarians, or meat-eaters. I particularly liked the Burrata appetizer and the Paneer do pyaza, though you can't really go wrong with anything. (My dining partner loved the Butter Chicken.) My craft cocktail (Mughal Empress) was fancy, delicious and came in a vintage-style coupe glass. The atmosphere is great for a special occasion or a regular weeknight dinner. I just love this place. It's cozy and perfect for two, but could likely handle a larger group fairly easily if you reserve ahead. One thing: It is served mostly family style, so be prepared to pass plates. Pro tip: If they ask if you'd like rice with your dish, say yes. You'll need it for the dal.“

“very good food I like this place“

“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 food, great service. Highly recommend!“

“Butter chicken and chicken tiki masala we come all the way from Westwood Village area LUCKY locals that can just walk there from the admiral District. We got a tour of the brand new stunning bar/dance/karaoke area. Beautiful hand painted murals of Mumbai.“

“Food and service was excellent!“

“Our first time visiting. Our server, Mason was attentive, funny, knowledgeable and helped us choose the best appetizers and entrees!! The other servers did not seem as attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant, not only because of the food but because of the service!“

“We have been to Mint and Martini twice. Both the time food was excellent!. We are vegetarian so found a good variety of veg options.
The Kashmiri Malai kofta was very tasty and so was the tandoori paneer.
Only issue is parking otherwise this place is one of the best we have had in Seattle.“

“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 😀“

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

“Indian cuisine at its finest offering all the traditional dishes plus more. The food is delicious, a perfect blend of herbs and spices in every dish we ordered. And the Garlic Naan! Blissful bread! I will definitely be back soon!“

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

“I tried this place on a whim, hoping to find a new spot on the Ave over the monotony of other choices of which I had grown tired. This place quickly became a regular stop for a quick meal whenever classes or studying ran way too late. Great options and awesome portions! The flavors used to be more vibrant and tasty before remodeling, but since then, there have been moments when the food is lacking. Nonetheless, it’s a good place to try“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“I love food chiken chilly“

“I love the chicken roll and soft serve. One of my favorite restaurants. ❤️“

“Loved the garlic naan. Would come back just for that. We also got the mutton curry and house chicken curry (sauce tasted quite similar so will just get mutton next time), as well as the chicken vepudu app - not as good value compared to entree and tasted similar. We did medium spice for all but would get hot spice next time for at least one dish. I want to try the shrimp appetizer and new dishes next time. Good service, will be back.“

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

“food quality great! delicious“

“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 !!“

“We ordered some vegetarian dishes including palak paneer, veg biryani with some naan bread. The food was well cooked and was good taste as well. Not only the food but also the service, noise level were managed perfectly by them. I totally recommend everyone to visit once.“

“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!“

“Really good food, basically Indian burritos. Very filling, plenty of veggies and flavor involved. I'm a big guy and 1 is a meal for me.

They ain't playing with the spice levels, tread carefully. Also the lassi is so good. I've had lassi that tastes like Danimals before but theirs is actually tart and well balanced.“

“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!“

“Stopped in for Happy Hour at Rupee. Now—we are Rupee Groupies!!! Had 4 small plates, dessert (the Love Cake), and chai, as well as a craft mango and lemon soda and a ginger beer. This is possibly the best meal we have had in Seattle in some time! The entire meal was like a symphony of flavors, each adding a distinct character and together, like heavenly music. We will be BACK! Thank you so much Rupee! #RupeeGroupies“

“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.“

“Absolutely excellent food - they opened in June 2025 and we came here on their second day. The non-veg thali (photo attached) was excellent! As were the drinks - I had the barfi margarita which had barfi-like flavoring and was excellent. Great service as well. For kids - our 4-year-old had the tandoori-flavored mac & cheese and loved it. The non-veg thali also came with padadam and a gulabjamun - he ate all of both.“

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

“awasome food . service too good.“

“Love this place, food is always good including the ever changing buffet. Staff is great and friendly. Try to ge t ba ck often.“

“Food and service both were excellent Service was professional while serving & taking order. Food here is delicious biryani, chili chicken everything was perfect 👌🏻 had a good experience . I am sure I will make a plan to come back soon“

“Chennai Express Authentic Indian has been on my bucket list for ages, and I can't wait to experience their renowned South Indian cuisine! The moderate price range, seems perfectly reasonable for quality Indian cuisine in Seattle. I can't wait to get back to Seattle.“

“Great lunch. Will go again soon“

“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.“

“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!“

“I recently ordered from Chili’s South Indian Cuisine on November 11th at around 2 PM, and my experience was overall very positive. The food was tasty, fresh, and full of authentic flavor. Everything was packed neatly, and the service was fast

The prices are very reasonable for the quality and generous portions. I especially enjoyed the Poori with Potato Masala and the Masala Dosa, both were cooked perfectly and flavorful. The restaurant clearly takes care to maintain quality and consistency.

The only downside was that parking was a bit challenging to find, which made picking up the order slightly stressful. However, once parked, everything went smoothly, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Overall, Chili’s is a reliable spot for quick, flavorful South Indian food. Despite the minor inconvenience with parking, I’ll definitely be ordering again and would recommend it to anyone looking for fresh, well-prepared Indian cuisine.“

“I stopped by this place for lunch to try the combo pod - which is basically a combination of a kathi roll and a rice dish

starting with the kathi roll (ie: roll pod), I wasn't a huge fan of it. the roti on the outside was cooked well, and had a nice browning to it, but I thought the filling
was kind of lacking. I had the chicken masala filling - and it had a bit of a weird taste to it. the chicken felt really dry, and none of the other fillings did anything to really complement it.

however, i did enjoy the rice pod much more. the basmati rice was cooked really well - super aromatic, and not dry. the tomato gravy was rich, creamy, and flavorful - it provided excellent mouthfeel to each bite - to the point where I was pretty happy even on bites that didn't include any protein. The portion size of this also felt a good amount better than what was given in the rice pod. For the filling, I opted for the mutton masala here - and I definitely could feel the spice emanating from the marinated meat. the pieces of mutton used were also pretty large. Liked this dish a lot

For the price, this combination is pretty expensive - coming in at around $18. It's a decent portion, but it's not quite enough for 2 meals - maybe 1 1/2.

Overall, the namesake roll is a miss, but the rice pod is some actually quite good Indian food. 7.75/10“

“Real Authentic Indian Food Place!!!!!! 👌🏻👌🏻 The food is delicious and portions are pretty large and fulfilling. Chawlas’s chicken-malai-tikka is soooo good! Make sure to try Naan with Cream chicken and Dal makhni. MUST THING- Gulab Jamun 🤤😋“

“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.“

“try it, all i've ordered has been really good.“

“Delicious food try the 65 biryani“

“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!“

“It is a take out place so pls dont expect an ambience, however, this place serves delicious food in really good quantities.
I would highly recommend this place and I am glad we have a good Indian cloud kitchen in our neighborhood. Let's support this small business and hope they keep up the quality.“
