“We visited Seattle from Canada and stopped at Meesha for a meal, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Rohan was the only server there, and he handled everything incredibly well. He was friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu, helping us choose exactly what to order.
Even while managing the whole restaurant on his own, he made sure we felt taken care of. The food and service made our Seattle visit even more memorable. Highly recommend Meesha—Rohan is a huge part of what makes the experience great!“

“Fantastic food! A definite stop in downtown Seattle. Wonderful staff, great recommendations for the first timer 🥰“

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

“OMG I found a new fave for me!! The meats are juicy and perfect. The spice heavy just how I looove it 🫶 The Mango Lassi- smooth creamy mango love in a cup!! I had the lamb with rice and chicken tikka. Chutney fresh and on point.“

“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!“

“The food is alright and there are a lot of options to choose from on the menu. The restaurant appears well maintained. The area where this business really shines is their great bar area which is very modern and has ample TVs. The prices are pretty decent and their staff with the exception of one individual is very attentive and professional.“

“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“

“Excellent food, friendly staff“

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

“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 😀“

“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.“

“One of the best restaurants in town! Our server, Arjun, was absolutely amazing—one of the most knowledgeable and attentive people I’ve met at an Indian restaurant. Definitely ask for Arjun when you visit!

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!“

“Delicious food, great service. Highly recommend!“

“Ate here recently for a fairly late night Indian food craving. Singh was extremely hospitable even though they were close to closing for the night. The food was excellent. My wife and I agreed that it was the best Tikka we had ever had 👌. The atmosphere was great. Not too bright, and very clean. Top notch experience! Thank you Singh!“

“​A true gem in Seattle. Annapurna pairs a staggeringly good menu with stellar craft cocktails and impeccable, attentive service.

​The absolute triumph of the meal is the lamb vindaloo. If you’re used to the one-dimensional, palate-destroying heat of standard curry houses, this version will rewire your understanding of the dish. Annapurna honors the vindaloo's 500-year history—you can actually taste the deliberate balance of sharp acid, rich fat, warm cloves, and cinnamon. The lamb is profoundly tender, simmering in a complex gravy that delivers a deep, earthy warmth rather than a senseless, aggressive burn.

​Perfectly spiced and expertly executed. Come for the amazing drinks, but do not leave without ordering the vindaloo.“

“I have ordered pickup, delivery, and I have dined in a few times. The food is always absolutely amazing and the workers are so nice. I bring friends and family visiting from out of town here every time! It is my favorite in Seattle. It may seem pricey, average for Seattle, but really good sized portions as I always have leftovers for the next meal. Spice can vary depending on who is in the kitchen that day but the medium usually holds true to the typical spice levels found around Seattle.“

“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 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.“

“I love food chiken chilly“

“food quality great! delicious“

“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.“

“Mmm shockingly delicious and flavorful dishes. The first bite of the goat curry was magical, and you gotta pair it with the garlic naan! The portion size of the chicken biryani was too good. Accommodating service that patiently waited for us to finish our food past the closing time. Coming here again for sure 😃“

“One of the best Indian places in Seattle, and one of the only authentic ones. Their samosa chaat and paneer burger are so delicious. Service is always really good too, and Gurpreet, the owner, is so nice to talk to and always willing to help with anything. Would definitely recommend to everyone!!“

“Incredible flavor, perfect breakfast! I ordered a single pod with Methi Chicken and a Mango Lassi. I am so tired of every breakfast place being the same thing on repeat. I don’t want to start my day with everything full of sugar. ‘Healthy’ breakfast places charge an arm and a leg with portions too large for me, I’m child size. This was just what I needed. Some savory chicken and veggies in a toasted wrap, full of flavor and spice, not over sized, not over priced. Yum! The guy was helpful in explaining things to me and helping me decide.“

“Loved the Maharashtrian flavors here. Every dish we tried was spot on, with quality ingredients that really came through in the taste. 💯

Definitely a must visit again when I’m craving authentic Indian food in Seattle. ✨✨“

“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.“

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

“Very nice food, something different new lovely food .
Bengaluru masala dosa was amazing as always.
And chicken Egg nest dosa was good.
Thanks for good food and also spicy Guva mojito we loved. Everything was class.“

“Great lunch. Will go again soon“

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

“awasome food . service too good.“

“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 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!“

“Brought back Bangalore memories, super authentic food along with generous Ghee and Podi. Also seeing owner giving instructions to the Dosa chef in Kannada made it special too!. Loved the Sambhar Dip Idly. \
Please, add an option with extra sambhar and reduce the price a bit :)“

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

“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 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 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!“

“Tasty lamb curry, large portions, super friendly service!“
