50 Best Indian Restaurants in Seattle

“Meesha for You is a hidden gem in the center of Seattle that serves traditional Indian cuisine with a focus on locally sourced ingredients. The menu changes periodically, but some notable dishes include paneer lasagna and creamy palak paneer. The snug setting and careful service make it ideal for a romantic supper or intimate gathering.“

“Nice, quiet, and comfortable place. Highly recommend for 20 some things to go on a date, all the way to bringing your 67-year-old parent who gets overstimulated by the city. Be mindful that gratuity is automatically included so the price jumps up quick. Very quality food and I love the family style eating.

Dietary restrictions: Lots of diversity to have meat, no meat, plant-based, etc.“

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

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

“Delicious food, great service. Highly recommend!“

“Incredible dining experience. Flavors, spices, presentation. Ate here two nights in a row and both were exceptional. Highly recommend it!“

“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!“

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

“Yeti bar is a new "upstairs" addition to the popular Annapurna restaurant on Capitol Hill. It seems to be trafficked mostly by dinner goers who are waiting for their table at the basement Annapurna dining room. The bar is warm, cozy, and dimly lit with nice wooden accents and a view of Broadway avenue out the front windows. Funky Indian videos play on the TV screens at a lowish volume that allows for conversation.“

“We had a great time here!! The food here is really unique and the service provided by Surace, was beyond phenomenal.

I would recommend this spot to anyone who’s looking for a unique food experience with Indian dishes.

The Rabdai Tiramisu was go die for.“

“I love this space. This is the place you take yourself, a place you can take a date, your loved ones. The beautiful thing about this place is the great food, but also the people who run it. You come here and who knew that you could smile so much from the warmth of the people that work here. This is a family business and one that all should visit.

I love the lunch buffet, I love the people, I love the meals.

Solid spot. Can't wait to come back. Feels like going to someone's house that you love and they have made you delicious food.“

“One of the few truly tasty places in Seattle. The smell first caught my attention, and the food did not disappoint when I went in. It is a spicy flavor explosion. With this right next to my light rail stop, I worry I will soon be broke and fat.“

“I am bit of a snob when it come to Indian food, especially street food. I have had some tasty kathi rolls in the past. These rolls are pretty tasty. We tried the achari aloo, paneer chilli, and chana masala - all tasty. Paneer chili was quite spicy so if u want it milder go lower than default.Would recommend going early to avoid lunch rush and have maximum options of flavours. Price could be a little lower, but everything is expensive now so not surprised considering its between amazon offices.“

“Simply amazing Authentic Nepalese food that will make you go YUM! We came across this place driving down Aurora. Having been to Nepal a few tines we have great memories and love Nepalese food. Man this was the real deal. You may not think much driving by, but you cannot dispute authentic delicious Nepalese food. Service was awesome too. Reasonable prices. I had the chicken Thukpa extra spicy. The chicken breast was tender and marinated to perfection. The spices were flavorful Nepalese traditional. I cannot wait to go back. Check it out. I promise you won’t be disappointed It’s right next to the Crown Inn.“

“Enjoyed the dinner! tasty food!“

“This is the most lovely place! We’ve been coming here for 5 years and each time the service gets better and the food has been the best. The people are so nice, makes sure we’re happy with our food and always the biggest smiles on their faces. This will always be our favorite ?

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs here, banquette seating so the edge of tables are accessible.“

“This food blew me away! Every single thing I ordered absolutely delicious. I had the grilled lamb, BEST I EVER HAD. Please go here, you won’t be disappointed! Just don’t go late at night. Not the best area, but the person working told me he would bring it out to my car. The area isn’t the best, but I didn’t want to leave any less than a 5-star as their food deserves the best rating!“

“Food and service was excellent!“

“excellent service, great food“

Samosa was crispy and freshly made, with lots of stuffing . Can’t wait to be back for the best experience and perfect Indian food.“

“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 food was delicious! It is an awesome place! Will definitely be going there again and again! 😊“

“Everything at Spice Waala is delicious! My go-to is an Aloo Tikki Kathi roll and masala chai. Service is always great, and they do amazing work giving back to people in the community. 💯 recommend this family owned and operated local small business!“

“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!“

“Excellent food and service, my favorite is Butter Chicken I had a few year looking for a place to make this delicious dish but never find one with the real taste of India but this place. 10/10
Highly recommended and definitely were coming back.“

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

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

“Love this desi burger place. As a vegetarian, I'm pretty happy with their Bombay veggie burger and masala fries. The quantity and taste are both value for money. If you dine in, they even offer a chutney - ketchup combo with the fries that makes you reminisce the time when burgers were just becoming a thing in India during the 90s and local joints would often offer chutney as a side.“

“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!“

“I love food chiken chilly“

“food quality great! delicious“

“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 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 Kathi rolls. Hadn't had them since I'd go out of my way to get to a kathi roll place in ny whenever I was there for work.

These super deliver, and the Kid who is working on "holding [their] spice" was up for the pan bhaji and a few bites of "Indian burrito" as kid called it.

Would get the methi chicken and achari fish is sooo good. I can handle my spice pretty well and the medium low spice was all I needed. Easier to taste it all without too much spice.

Also really recommend with egg if you aren't vegan.“

“We ordered catering service from Chennai express for 18 people. Overall the food was loved by everyone especially pongal, idli, bisibali-bhath and masala vada. Their chutneys and sambhar was yummy!
The communication was clear and the food was yummy and ready on promised time. They were also very accommodating to give us food delivery at little earlier in the day.

Ordering was a breeze, delivery was prompt and the packaging was good. Very satisfied with Chennai Express“

“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.“

“Go check out Lassi & Spice. Delicious Lassis and yummy snacks too. Wonderfully cool vibe too. It’s a must do in SLU.“

“awasome food . service too good.“

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

“So their South Indian food is really good. Super crispy dosa, soft idlis, flavorful aloo (with cashews ?), really nice chutney. The only thing is that their North Indian and Maharashtrian food kind of misses the mark. The peanuts in the poha are burnt. You're supposed to fry the peanuts, take them out, make the poha, and then put them back in. You should add some onions and potatoes to it too and cilantro at the end. Please fix this, I miss having poha regularly, and I don't have the energy to make it myself.“

“Karan the manager was so nice and professional. Did a great job even during the rush hours on valentine weekend to ensure we were comfortable.

We ordered Tara fish fry, Kara masala dosa, kutthu porotta and chicken vappudu. All were yummy. Not to mention the final touch with Chai.“

“Delicious food try the 65 biryani“

“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.“

“Love their dosas and their idlis!! I am a sambar snob and I rate their sambar amazing!! There's always a long line in the Ballard's farmers market for this stall but it does move quickly.

I've tried their biryani at SLU and I loved it too. Its just its a bit early in the day for me to have biryani, so I prefer their tiffins.

Standing in the line, sipping tea and people watching while waiting for dosas has become a habit now ??‍♀️?❤️
