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!!!“

“Food and service was excellent!“

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

“Used to be one of my favorites but last time take out gave us both a gnarly report. Things seemed normal going in. Will I go back, probably, but I won’t order the kafta balls again and the daal soup needs to be corrected. Make sure you verify your order on DoorDash cuz I think I showed for pickup and it wasn’t made so I waited.“

“This is hands down our favorite indian restaurant in the area. Never disappointed. Planning another visit soon!“

“very good food I like this place“

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

“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.“

“Excellent food, friendly staff“

“Meesha truly brings together the flavors of India with a modern twist. We started with the Bengali Chicken Cutlet, Amritsari Choley Kulcha, and the Street Food Platter, each dish was packed with authentic flavors and beautifully presented.

For the mains, the Indo-Chinese Chilli Chicken had the perfect balance of spice and flavor, while the Railway Mutton Curry was rich, tender, and comforting. The Kulcha Bread paired perfectly with the curry.

To wash it all down, we tried the Anar Shikanji and the Amrud (Guava) drink, both were refreshing, unique, and the perfect complement to the meal.

Great food, warm hospitality, and a lovely ambiance. If you’re in Seattle and craving authentic Indian cuisine with creative touches, Meesha is definitely worth a visit! 🌟🍛🥂“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Great options for indian food ! From manchurian to chaat and even hakka noodles ! The taste is really good !

“Delicious food, great service. Highly recommend!“

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

“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.“

“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. 😀“

“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“

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

“Feels understaffed every time I have been here. Food is touch and go on what's just ok or excellent. Parking is minimal and a real pain so make sure you're paying attention especially if you park in visitor parking of the apartment complex next door or your car will be trapped at 6pm. Surrounding neighborhood has lots of parking restrictions too and the lot for the tavern is like 10 spaces or so. Clearly they depend mostly on neighborhood people walking there.“

“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 love food chiken chilly“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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 :)“

“We hired The Roll Pod food truck for our team event and it was a huge hit! The food was absolutely delicious and fresh, and our whole group couldn't stop talking about it. Archana and the team were friendly, professional, and made the whole process seamless from booking to service.

If you're looking for a food truck that delivers on both flavor and service, The Roll Pod is it. We'd happily book them again for future events — highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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 🤤😋“

“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.“

“Good food. Good ambience and service. One star less for them charging $5 for cut onions! Every desi eats food, especially spicy food with onions. Staff could at least warn about it. Food definitely is good but portions are somewhat smaller. May visit again.“

“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.“

“Delicious food try the 65 biryani“

“Authentic flavors and absolutely amazing taste. The food took me right back to India. The Chicken Rotu Kadai and Shrimp Chukka were packed with flavor and had just the right amount of kick. The DK Special Boneless Chicken Biryani was another standout dish—easily one of the best we've had.

Dakshina Kitchen has quickly become our go-to spot for takeout. The food is consistently delicious, and every order has been a great experience. Highly recommended!!!“
