Ordered chicken tikka masala with garlic naan. The chicken tikka masala was prepared how I like it. Some places prepare it sweeter (which I do not prefer). The garlic naan, however, needs improvement. Perhaps I received a bad batch, but it was very chewy and unenjoyable. I do like fluffy naan similar to what Kanak does, but again, it was very chewy.

Kanak is a solid choice for Indian food in Seattle. The ambiance may not win any awards, but what it lacks in décor, it more than makes up for in flavour.
Must-order dishes: Dal Tadka, Mirch Naan, and Vegetable Jalfrezi — all highly recommended and full of authentic taste.
It offers exceptional value for money, which is refreshing compared to other Indian restaurants in the area. The staff are also notably unpretentious - no pressure around tipping, though...

Another Indian restaurant in the downtown area, that I decided to try with low expectations. However, I got surprised to say the least
You can’t go wrong with Chicken tikka (5/5), chicken is tender, well cooked and flavorful.
Surprisingly the butter chicken masala is a let down, chicken felt stale and soggy too
The Kashmiri naan too is disappointing, they didn’t even get the texture right, let alone the taste
