50 Best Indian Restaurants in Seattle

“Amazing Indian food in west Seattle! Second time here. The flavor is delicious and their portions are generous.
We ordered the non vegetarian dinner which is portioned to serve two but we had plenty of leftovers! Their 5 spice level is not that spicy, if you’re use to eating spicy food.“

“Enjoyed the dinner! tasty food!“

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

“What a fun night. Thank you for having us. We visited for a special 5-course Valentines dinner with a fixed menu. Can't wait to visit again. The beet dish opener was awesome — and I HATE beets! The prawn curry was yummy. Looking forward to a full menu of choices!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! The way they treat their customers is fantastic. Their hospitality is top-notch and you can really feel that they value their customers.

We ordered pongal, punugulu, and idli, and all of them were amazing. The biryani was perfect and full of flavor, and the gulab jamun was incredibly delicious.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!“

“food quality great! delicious“

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

“The food here was absolutely amazing. Everything came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. You can really tell they use quality ingredients and take their time preparing each dish. The portions were generous and very filling, especially for the price. I tried multiple items and every single one tasted great—nothing felt rushed or bland. The flavors were well balanced and cooked perfectly.“

“I love food chiken chilly“

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

“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 !!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“awasome food . service too good.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Great lunch. Will go again soon“

“I have lived in Seattle for about five years and have been extremely disappointed by the vegan friendly Indian options. They have been flavorless and lacked spice. This place made up for it! They have loads of clearly marked vegan options. They were flavorful and actually came with rice rather than ordering it separately (an odd rarity in this city). I ordered delivery, so I can't speak to the atmosphere etc. but the food was fantastic and was served and delivered very quickly.

“I absolutely love this farmers market, and it’s always a pleasure to see this stall here! The food is genuinely delicious, and it’s clear a lot of care goes into the preparation. I personally missed having sambar with the dosa — but I understand they’re showcasing a specific regional style of serving dosa, which is cool in its own right.

That said, I did have two main issues. First, the long queue and wait time. If you’re planning to spend just a couple of hours at the market, a big chunk of it could easily go into waiting at this one stall, making it harder to enjoy the rest of the market. Second, the food felt significantly overpriced. While I appreciate the quality ingredients and small-batch approach, you can get a more complete dosa experience — with multiple chutneys, sambar, variety, quantity and dine-in comfort — at other spots for much better value.

All in all, it’s a tasty treat if you’re already at the market and in the mood to splurge a bit — just be prepared for a wait and a lighter plate.“

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

“Delicious food try the 65 biryani“
