Great food along with very friendly staff! They have the large variety of food- I ordered the Tikka Surprise last time I came, but definitely looking forward to stoping by again and probably have one of the Mediterranean dishes. The restaurant itself is nice and spacious- plenty of room for a large gathering. read more

The vegan/vegetarian options are great. Service was attentive and courteous. We had samosa to start. They were crispy, spicy and flavorful. Chana masala and baigan bhartha were well cooked with creamy Chana and a well cooked eggplant that wasn't bitter. Level 4 spice had a nice kick and the flavors were on point. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was quiet. Parking was a little tricky, competing with other locations. We will definitely be back. read more

This place has been opened 3 months according to the wife. The husband worked for over 25 years in the restaurant industry before deciding to open his own place! The food is prepared when you order it and it's the reason why they didn't go the route of the buffet. The ambiance is great with light music playing and enough room so that everyone can spread out and enjoy their meals. The food is delicious and has just enough kick (the samosas were too strong for me but I liked every second of it!). I got the butter paneer which was creamy and delicious at a spice level of 3. It was just enough to kick my butt the more I ate on. My BF got the lamb tikka with a spice level of 5 and really, really enjoyed it. The naan is HUGE and well worth the price. Delicious and crispy, as well. My only qualm was that the tea was charged per cup, but that's not worth removing a star or whatever for it. Will definitely be coming back! read more

I ordered garlic nan and channa masala with paneer. The food was quite delightful, freshly prepared, and delicious. The garlic nan was very soft and baked to perfection. The channa masala was equally tasty and flavorful with the perfect blend of spices and seasoning. The ambiance is pretty chill, and the restaurant is fairly clean. The waitress was very positive and professional. The music videos on the tv were quite entertaining as well. Nonetheless, this Indian cuisine establishment is fantabulous and worthy of future business. read more

I had a craving for Indian and went to a new restaurant called "5 Rivers." It's in Everett. In a space that used to be a Mexican grill. I'm sure you'll know the venue when you see it. Anyways- GO! It was so fantastic. The absolute best butter chicken that I have had in forever. Flavor was on point. I don't like a lot of heat (shame, I know) and I went for 2 spice. I could have handled 3 here. So, level up on spice if that suits you. My 14yo and I went for lunch today. We had samosas (pictured), garlic naan (we dove in too fast for a picture) and we split the butter chicken (pictured). We couldn't finish it all. Service was above top notch. I told Bhupinder that I had to be out in 30 min and he made it happen. Please go and enjoy! read more

What a find! A must go! Service was fantastic and the food was beyond good. I'm super full at home devouring the leftovers in blissful agony The garlic naan was super good and crispy with a large quantity. The inside is clean with fun lighting and looks like there will be a full bar in the future. Lots of tables for larger crowds and some smaller two person tables to accommodate your dinning party. read more

We were trying to find a place to get carryout at about 9:45... On a whim we called here, assuming they'd tell us it was too late to place an order. At most places, that's the response. Or the person will hesitate and begrudgingly acquiesce, but with attitude, and "we're about to close so hurry up" kind of response. Not here. They were *super* nice and helpful, and still friendly when we arrived as well. Pretty much never happens. They had already won major points for just being so nice and accommodating. But then the food... SO. GOOD. Seriously some of the tastiest Indian food I've had. I'm from Maryland and am legit sad that I won't be able to order from here until I come back in town...! My bf's mom made sure to get the address and name though. Four of us shared several items and all agreed everything was delicious. Oh, and seriously generous portions, which was a refreshing surprise. Rice is cheap as dirt but many places will skimp on it, which is just frustrating... But this place... They take care of you. We're gonna ask them to open up a second location in Maryland. Haha. Great food and great customer service. Definitely highly recommended. read more

Have been getting takeout from here for the past year. The butter chicken and aloo gobi are my favorite, paneer dishes as well. Have the app which makes it easy to order! Consistently good food. read more

5 rivers is truly the best Indian food in Everett! Or even in Washington, definitely worth it. It is completely family owned and run, and they make YOU feel at home when you dine with them (even for to go orders). They also give really good portions compared to other places I have tried. I love all of their curries and the samosas are delicious. I will only be going here from now on! read more

Last evening, we decided to celebrate my husband's birthday with an Indian carry-out. Our go-to local restaurant had closed and we hadn't a clue where to start with an alternative :( So we opened our laptops and searched. 5 Rivers Indian Cuisine seemed to be getting wonderful reviews - so we took a chance. WOW, SO GLAD WE DID. We both ordered dishes we had not previously tasted and from the first mouthful, had fallen in love with our new go-to carry-out. The sauce was divine, the naan bread exceptional and the protein (I had lamb, my husband had fish) was so tender. Large, generous portions and great value. Thank you 5 Rivers. We now see why 'TD' drove 32 miles for your food. read more

I ordered tandoori chicken tikka chicken breast and I got old fermented brown chicken of some sort of chicken but not breast. Definitely not tandoori in any means will not order from here ever again not reputable. Please read more

Five Rivers has been my family's favorite restaurant for years, and even now we will still make the 30 min drive from Seattle, even just to pick up take out. The food is incredible. We have tried so many new things, and even the classics like Butter Chicken or Palak Paneer are so far above any others we have ever had. Not only is the food insanely good, but the people who work at 5 rivers are some of the sweetest, kindest and most thoughtful people I have met. Every time we come in we are treated like family, and are left in a great mood, even just picking up! We love 5 rivers so much and are so grateful for all of the meals here over the years and for all the great times and community we have built around loving this food. Thank you 5 rivers! read more

I've had my fair share of chicken tikka masala at a handful of Indian restaurants and I'm telling you- this is it. This is the place. Get their tikka and don't forget the garlic naan. You will not regret it! Great taste, price and portion. I love that you can choose your spice level, 3 was the perfect medium with a hint of kick. read more

5 Rivers Indian Cuisine - Butter chicken and naan - Indian Near Me - Everett, Washington

They always give you a bunch of rice exploding out of the box food is always good nice family business worth the money

We ordered a mixture of items from appetizers to main entrees for a 50 people outdoor event and our guests absolutely loved it. The Lamb Korma and Chicken Boti Kabob were on point and flavorful. However, the key item that really took it over the top were the Tandoori Prawns, everybody was raving about this and definitely not something you would typically find, so I highly recommend. Overall if you are in the area or wish to get catering service I would not hesitate ordering from 5 Rivers. The owners are super nice and genuinely care about providing good quality food. You will not be disappointed!!! read more

Food was excellent and the portions were huge, the family that owns this business is very kind and friendly. I had ordered tandoori chicken, royal biryani chicken, and butter chicken with some garlic naan. My wife and kids enjoyed the flavors of the dishes and wanted more the next day. I have ordered here a couple times before and have been satisfied with the food. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for an Indian restaurant I would recommend you give this one a try. read more

I was in the mood for excellent authentic Indian cuisine today so I made the 32 mile drive (one way) just to reward myself. At 5-Rivers Indian Cuisine the quality of the food never disappoints. This most excellent restaurant was recommended to me and I am so glad it was. The food here is fresh, hot out of the oven or off the stove, made of quality ingredients, authentic and absolutely delicious. Not too long ago 5-Rivers Indian Cuisine suffered some fire damage. As a result dining inside the restaurant is not currently an option. They are open for business on a delivery or pick up and take out option. That was not a problem for me as I was determined to make the drive. Everything on the menu is unequivocally delectable, the portions generous, 5-Rivers charges a fair price for their superior food and expertise labor they invested in my wonderful dining experience. In addition the staff went out of the way to make me feel welcome, valued and comfortable as I waited for my order to be prepared. Now that I am home EVERYBODY is smiling and excited about the Indian banquet that we are all going to enjoy. 5 STARS for 5-Rivers Indian Cuisine! I WILL be back! read more

This is THE spot for tasty Indian! Great portion sizes, and reasonable prices! We recently placed a large online order for takeout (over $100 order) and the owner recommended us to just call and place it if we are picking up because the prices are better and the owner doesn't need to share a percentage for using the online ordering service. So if you plan to pick up the food yourself I recommend ordering over the phone to support your small businesses! Other than that, the food was ready quickly, the portions are excellent and all of it was still hot when we picked up. Due to our large order the owner even tossed in a free dessert and extra rice free of charge. So kind!! Naan bread is large and well worth the price. If you are on the fence about it, JUST GET IT! Everything had a wonderful blend of textures and tasted oh so flavorful! Coconut curry was the favorite all around, and biryani was a close second. All 5 adults loved everything we tried and we ordered at least 7-8 things. Between 5 hungry people we were all stuffed by the time we were finished but there was still a ton left over which made for a great lunch the next day. Looking forward to the next time we order from/dine here! read more

Tasty food and great value for the money. Takeout service has been consistently friendly. As vegetarians, we have enjoyed their paneer dishes, samoas, and naan. read more

Quick, take out only. so many layered flavors, delish!!! Chicken Masala was to die tor.

Really delicious food with massive portions. The owners greeted me when I picked up a large order for work and they were very friendly and appreciative. Everyone at work was stuffed and very pleased. This was not the first time we have ordered here and it won't be the last! Order ahead or even the night before if it's a big order and they'll take care of you. read more

Great food! Great menu! Nice people:) have been there many times over several years. Highly recommend!

Three stars are an average of 4 stars for the food and 2 stars for the (tragically) burned dining area. I intend to come back for the food, which is only available for takeout until repairs are completed, because the flavors and quantities of each dish are extraordinary. I am a sucker for Makhani chicken, and the chef does a great job with it (if a tad too sweet for my taste). I also had Baingan Bharta (eggplant curry, excellent ) and Parantha as well as onion naan: tasty and large! I hope this nice family-operated restaurant is able to rebuild and I'll be back! There are several other Indian places in town and for my money this one is the winner. read more

Husband and I were going around the sound for our wedding anniversary and as we were on the Clinton to Mukilteo ferry I used Yelp to help us find a restaurant that was still serving after 9pm on a Saturday night. Yes, this wonderful restaurant was open till 10! During this pandemic it was take out orders only but that was just fine for us, as we were planning on having a picnic at our favorite park anyway. We ordered the lamb Royal Biryani, prawn Butter Masala, mint Naan, mango Lassi for me and salty Lassi for my mate. This might be TMI but it was so good we were moaning in pleasure as all those flavors just melted on our tongues. The son of the cook was very kind and helpful, his mother was just a sweetheart! We will be back and we will tell others about this place! read more

Incredible food and service, portions are great in size. One of the best Indian foods in the city!

Great service, huge servings, and the food was delicious! I love this place and will definitely be ordering again soon. So glad they've stayed resilient after their fire, and I can't wait for them to reopen dine-in! read more

We ordered food for take out during the quarantine as I was craving indian food and golgappe. We had heard good things and were excited. I was afraid it was going to live up to the hype and omg did it surpass! We ordered golgappe, veggie and chicken appetizers with butter chicken and paneer and bharta for our entrees with garlic naan. The naan were super soft and fluffy with the perfect amount of garlic. The appetizers were all delicious and the golgappe were just perfect! The butter chicken was probably the best I've ever had. I had ordered everything at 4 star and it was the perfect amount of spice. The whole family is raving at how great the food is. Can't wait to try it in person after this quarantine business is over! read more

Very welcoming & food is authentic. I was in Everett with my husband and son. Figured we would try this restaurant when it popped up on Yelp. Unfortunately, dine-in wasn't an option, so we got take out. Really enjoyed speaking to the owner for awhile while we waited. He forgot the drinks when we walked out but gave us extra when we popped back in. Waited to give this review until after we had it as leftovers. Still quite tasty. read more

I catered from this restaurant for my Boeing team. It was very smooth and easy to communicate with them. Very friendly family. My whole team was very satisfied with the service and the taste of the delicious food!! Highly recommend going here! :) read more

The food is always so delicious and their customer service is impeccable! Would recommend to anyone

I really really want to like this place. But unfortunately I will not be eating here. The curries have to be ordered at level 4 and above. Also they throw in so much cream that I feel like I am eating cream with heat. I don't get to taste any other flavors. On the flipside, portion sizes are huge and it is a good value for money. The rotis and naans are actually nice, which is why I bump this to 3 stars. read more

This restaurant was nearby and looked like a promising, hole-in-the-wall type of joint. We were immediately greeted by a polite young man and seated at a table of our choice. The selection was fairly standard Indian dishes, with a few specialty dishes. We ordered 2 meals to share, some garlic naan, and a mango lassi each. The naan was thick, hot, and perfect! The sauces came in giant ketchup and mustard (yellow and red) squeeze bottles, which was a bit sus at first blush... but the mint sauce is probably the best I've ever had! Both were delicious and complemented the naan very nicely. Our entrees came out fast. Butter masala with paneer, and korma with lamb. The serving sizes were perfect, and you get a lot for the price. We took home leftovers, but not a whole lot. And it didn't stop at the food! Our server was the chef's wife, I think they're the owners. She was very friendly and we chatted a great deal. I practically feel like part of the family! I highly recommend this place. It's not the closest Indian restaurant to me, but it will be my first choice in the future. read more

This was the first time here. Currently doing some remodeling however, The Chicken Curry I ordered in my opinion was 5 star all the way, Can't wait until my next order.
