“We visited Meesha in Seattle for a late evening treat, and the cozy ambiance was perfect—soft lighting, light music, and a relaxed vibe ideal for a night out. The highlight for me was the Goan prawns—they transported me back to Goa with their rich, spicy flavor. And the Bukhara dal—just like a warm hug from home. Highly recommend for anyone who loves Indian cuisine with a personal touch!“

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

“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 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.“

“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“

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

“Excellent food, friendly staff“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“food quality great! delicious“

“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.“

“I went to Chutneys Baristo for their buffet. They have a good selection of meals, desserts, sides, and beverages included with the buffet.
Nice seating and atmosphere with accommodating servers.

Will definitely come back again“

“I love food chiken chilly“

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

“Super friendly staff. Asked to make the dosa more crispy and they brought out a new one, free of charge.
Also liked the veggie dishes. Palak paneer and the eggplant dish which we ordered for the first time, was tasty and we would definitely order it again.
The chicken in the appetizer, chicken 65 was juicy and spicy. Only the chicken in the main dish was a bit in the dry side but overall, everything was great and we will come back again.“

“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!“

“We didn't go during rush hour so service was really fast. The food was amazing tastes like heaven. I can get the hate about the plate but they are amazing to use your roti bread to scoop the sauce in the plate. I don't think they are plates for ustensiles but ideal to eat using bread.“

“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!“

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

“We had dakshina’s kitchen catered for my friend’s baby shower. They also supplied fresh dosas which was a highlight of the event. All the food was very tasty. The spice levels were also adjusted for the guests. The service was excellent as well, very good communication. We will definitely get food from here again and also for party catering! Best value for Indian party food.“

“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.“

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

“Great lunch. Will go again soon“

“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“

“awasome food . service too good.“

“Have eaten here for years and never taken the time to review but now's the time!

Suel is particularly friendly with a good sense of humor! We love Masala and give it our highest recommendation without hesitation!“

“The Butter Chicken Masala is excellent—the best item on the menu—while the other dishes are just average. I recommend choosing a spice level of three stars or higher; honestly, three stars here corresponds to the one-star spice level at most other places. Furthermore, the consistency of the sauce is linked to the spice level, and the one- and two-star versions are simply too watery!“

“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.“

“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 🤤😋“

“Big ups to TBK for being so consistent and wonderful over the last two years since we first started eating here. A favorite part of my Sundays and I hate to miss it! Definitely a must as a local, and a daunting task for a visitor to find parking in Ballard.“

“Food-truck on Thomas St. Fast service and tasty food options. Perfect for a quick lunch. 😋💯“

“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“

“We got the idiappam and korma. Flavor was phenomenal and good portion for 1 person. It was my first time trying it and I'm a big fan already! Will probably try to make it at home. Good Vegetarian options and plenty of seating. They also have TV playing.“

“Delicious food try the 65 biryani“
