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!

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.
