To begin with, such kind owners! This is one of those true mom-and-pop establishments where the food is incredible and the warmth feels like family. I've had the pleasure of traveling around and enjoying both authentic Indian cuisine and the very "Americanized" versions of it, and most of the dishes here truly retain the flavors of traditional Indian delicacies while still bringing a wonderful kick of spice. The weekend buffet is an absolute steal for the price -- with a generous spread of meat dishes including chicken, goat, and lamb, along with plenty of delicious vegetarian options. Definitely highly recommend! read more

The chicken 65 biryani was a disappointing in terms of flavor. I was expecting some more colorful and vegetable filled biryani. This was fried chicken in spiced sauce on top of rice that was okay. The garlic nan was good and large! The butter chicken was a different than typical but it could be a regional flavor. It just wasn't sweet and smooth. The restaurant was empty when we went at peak dinner time on a weekday. Not sure where everyone was. They had the lights off before we came in. Winter holiday decorations were still up. read more

This is the first time here and it did not disappoint. We came around noon and we're the only one there but it got busy soon after. There's a parking lot so that was nice. Service is pretty direct and blunt, so if you're not use to that, it might come across as rude and bad service. The owner checked in once or twice for water and clear the dishes. He also saw that we stopped eating and came over to tell us to go and pay to leave, which was little on the borderline of being rude but I guess it got busy so he wanted the table. Foodwise: there's one section of meat and one section of veggies dishes. All the meat dishes was really good, it was soft, flavorful and tender. The only one that could be better was the tandoori chicken which was a little dry. The veggies curries was pretty stsndard. I think the best thing we all ate and agreed on was the vada (donut). Love the texture and flavor and good at absorbing the sauces. When we first arrived, it was pretty quiet, but once it got busy, it was pretty loud and vibrant. For the price, i think it was a pretty good deal and I was stuffed after. read more

Amulya Indian Cuisine - Dish one - Indian Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Welcoming and cozy with great service. Food came out relatively quick and I thought the flavors and taste was standard for an Indian place - overall had a good experience read more

Amulya Indian Kitchen is more of a homestyle Indian restaurant in Bellevue. I've been here twice so far, both times for their buffet, and the food has been impressive. The buffet offers a huge variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian Indian dishes, plus a few Indo-Chinese items. I especially liked that they sometimes include snacks like Mysore Bonda or Punugulu, which you don't often find elsewhere. The food tastes very homemade, not overly oily or heavy with masala, which makes it comforting while still flavorful. Pricing is also very reasonable for the variety and quality you get. That said, the restaurant feels very casual and could improve in a few areas. The same people who cook in the kitchen often handle the cashier and occasionally take breaks in the dining area, which makes them less present for customers. The space can also feel a bit unhygienic and noisy at times, with kitchen conversations carrying into the dining area. It's not a polished or fancy spot, but if you're simply looking for a wide variety of homestyle Indian food at good value, it's worth a try. read more

Came here on a weekend, before 2.5 hours of closing, meaning it was still the peak time. Most of the dishes were empty and remained empty for a long time. If you get seated in the back room, no one really checks on you for water or cleaning up the plates on your table. Also, it's the first buffet place where can't freely take silverware and napkins for yourself. You need to ask them every time you need them, and they hand you precisely 1 napkin per person, like it's a Covid shortage. The biryani was just rice, with nothing in it. Forget about meat, we could barely see any onion or much seasoning in it. The curries felt very muted, felt even milder than North Indian food. Hey Amulya folks, please check out Curry Point's buffet to see how they handle all the above, including the variety of food to include breakfast items, Indian pizza, delicious biryani with tons of meat, and overall superior quality of food all around. Their pricing is the same $19 as well. This place needs a lot of changes before it can compete with the better ones in the same area. read more

Love this place! Cozy place with a nice buffet that isn't overly spicy. Owners are friendly and down to earth.

Not great food. Not good environment. There was buffet and I tried different dishes. None of them was good. Many were too salty. The buffet was disorganized. The names of the dishes were written on a chit of paper. There were kids running around. People would bring the used plates and serve themselves in them. This is not restaurant's fault; but I am describing the environment. Not again read more

Amulya Indian Cuisine - Multiple items - Indian Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

We tried the Loose Babycorn, it tasted really good. Then we ordered Butter Naan, it was more like bread made from maida we thought it was a tandoori Naan and confirmed again as we didn't expect the butter naan to be like that. We also had Sag Paneer and it came with a bowl of rice, it was okay but a bit pricey. Service and Ambiance was good. I Think it's better to go for a buffet rather than ordering separately. They have lunch buffet daily. Lunch and Dinner buffets on Friday and Saturdays. Overall, i would rate: Loose Babycorn: 4/5 Butter Naan: 2.5/5 Sag Paneer: 3/5 read more

By far the best Andhra food as well as Northern Indian dishes that stayed true to the recipes from Taj Palace which this location used to be. Owner Sridevi does all the cooking and for me reminds me of food cooked at home. Not greasy/oily like other restaurants. Wonderful and owner who is passionate about good food. read more

This place is relatively new - I believe opened around September of 2023. Very good food. Ambience is about average. Service is also decent. Highly recommend their Mirchi cut. Samosa and Chicken chili were also nice. The give generous quantity of tea - I would share that between two people. I plan to go back here to try some south Indian cuisines. read more

This is one of the worst Indian restaurants I had the displeasure of dining. Food quality, taste, and cleanliness are major letdowns. The buffet food was dry and hard, clearly a result of being reheated multiple times. It is obvious they just keep recycling the same food day after day. The plates provided at the buffet were dirty. I even saw some guests serving themselves with used plates, which is a huge hygiene concern. The overall restaurant was extremely unclean. The tables were dirty and sticky, and I noticed that the dishes and plates were not properly washed. Some plates even had visible oil slicks on them. The storage room door was open, and I was shocked to see how filthy the floor was inside. It honestly made me question how this place passed any health inspection. What they call "biryani" is nothing more than plain masala rice topped with curry. This is a complete insult to anyone who knows what real biryani should be. The rice is cooked in bulk and then refrigerated, only to be served for several days afterward. There was absolutely zero difference in taste between all their paneer biryanis. They are just slight variations of the same curry dumped over old rice. The mirchi ka salan was spoiled and smelled rotten. I could immediately tell it was several days old based on the foul odor. Serving food in this condition is unacceptable and potentially dangerous. I wouldn't recommend Amulya Indian Cuisine to anyone who cares about cleanliness, food quality, or basic hygiene. While paying the bill, I saw the owner scratching his sweaty scalp and then immediately touched the serving spoons of the Buffet. read more

Before I was even done with one plate of food for the buffet, I was asked to leave a 5 star review and had two people ( I think the owners ) stand over my shoulder as I look for the review and pressured me into giving 5 stars. I left shortly after and will not be back. Just felt so forced and weird having two people stand over me asking for me to give 5 stars and watching me give them the 5 stars. read more

Had a fantastic Amulya buffet lunch Tuesday, 18 Nov 2025. There was a selection of about half-dozen each meat (chicken and lamb) and vegetarian main dishes, plus several types of rice, naan, etc. The palak paneer - creamed spinach, one of my favorites - was terrific. Every dish was outstanding: really, really good! The host (owner?) and staff were very professional and friendly. Othet patrons were enjoying their meals.. Despite a couple childishly vindictive reviews the restaurant generally, food service area, plates and utensils all were very clean - spotless and well organized. There were no waiters to pull out my chair or lick my shoes but hey - it's a buffet! Total price was $25.00, which seems a bit high - but what isn't these days? Why spend $15-20.00 on marginal fast food when you can enjoy a high quality restaurant meal, AYCE, for a few dollars more? Amulya will be on my monthly rotating list of lunch restaurants. Higher praise has no man... read more

We ate here a year ago and it was below par and spicy. We had to come again due to lack of dinner buffets in the area. That was a big mistake, the place has really taken a turn for the worse. 1Everything is extremely spicy , cudnt really taste anything else. I'm north Indian , and I can take heat, but this was next level spicy. 2. Very dirty and food is carelessly just dumped with no labels. Nothing was fresh. 3. Rude owners/ managers who just sit on your next table and just stare at you. 4. I read another review that said the owner just hit the no receipt button after overcharging. I kept wondering why he pressed the no receipt button when I was about to print it, I just let it go as we were in a hurry. I just couldn't understand the total what I was charged. Because of someone else's review I now understand he overcharged me and took advantage of the fact that my attention was taken by my kids. I would not recommend this place to anyone, but if you go, do print your receipt and examine it before leaving! read more

Amulya Indian Cuisine serves a delicious buffet of Indian dishes, not only for lunch, but for dinner on Fridays and Saturdays. It's a great addition to Bellevue as many of the Indian restaurants no longer offer a buffet post-COVID. My partner and I love Indian food, especially buffets because we like to try different items. I especially love spicy south Indian curries, which Amulya offers, in addition to classic northern Indian items. The buffet is not the largest in variety, but offers plenty and is fulfilling. The must-eat item is the pepper chicken! I loved the pepper chicken and so did everyone else as they had to cook more and refill the buffet of it. The pepper chicken is tender, very flavorful with pepper and has a nice crunch to it. Do not leave Amulya without trying the pepper chicken! Another item I enjoyed was the mutton curry, which was on the spicier side. Just be careful of the bones. The chutneys were all very good, and I liked that the chai here does not have sugar in it. (Chai is so good on its own that it astounds me why anyone would want to add sugar in it.) They make the naan fresh for each table and you can ask for more to be made. We visited on a Friday night and the place was pretty busy, with many patrons dining in. The staff was friendly and many of the staff here cleared tables, refilled waters, checked in with customers, refilled buffet items, etc. The service is top notch. Fridays and Saturday nights are when they offer a buffet dinner and lunch is offered on a daily basis. The buffet is $20 for adults. Amulya's is located in the same business strip as Baskin Robbins and Wibbley's, next to Harley Davidson in Bellevue. Parking is plenty and it's easy to find. I'm glad we were able to check out this new Indian restaurant, which has a lot of positives going for it. I'd happily dine here again. read more

This place is not clean. The food is not fresh nor tasty. The service is way below par. I went for the lunch buffet. The interior is visibly filthy. The plates and bowls were not clean, the buffet counter and pans were greasy and spattered. The tables and condiments sticky. The floor and walls are dirty . Even the elder offering in front entrance is nasty with dead brown rose petals floating in dirty water. There are boxes, chairs , paper products and toilets, yes toilets, stacked and stored visibly against the walls. The bathroom is sticky, dusty and well, I'll attach some photos. The food was incredibly greasy. The buffet was nasty. A lot of the food was unrecognizable , and broken or mashed up where it shouldn't be. The chicken dishes were vats if greasy sauce where you had to fish to find any meat and once you did, it was dry and rubbery. I dont think there were any legume dishes. One dish was paneer in a woody bay leaf and greens , mostly woody stems and broken cheese. (?) idk what I ate. The naan was good but i had to ask for it otherwise i would have had none. The hot chai is offered self serve in 3 oz dixie cups. Some of the spoons at the buffet were too hot to use. Finallybthe service. I was shown to a seat and given a napkin and silverware and water. Then nothing. I got my own water, found my own sugar ( mine was empty, but the sugar packets on the other table and the one by the chai were, no exaggeration, sticky and stuck together and to the dish. Can not ever return. read more

It was our first time to try this Indian Cuisine place in Bellevue. They had a lunch buffet with ample vegetarian and non vegetarian options. The food was tasty, and the goat meat was tender with just the right amount of spices. The rice biryani was quite tasty and I was happy to see my favorite dish of Saag Paneer! They had the chicken masala, tandoori chicken . And a whole lot more dishes! The young waitress was prompt with clearing dishes away. The restaurant was fairly clean, no frills but definitely had good flavored food! Would definitely recommend for those looking for no nonsense tasty Indian cuisine Saturday lunch buffet! read more

Wow, please avoid this place - this is not Indian food. Every item I tried was below 'okay'. I am really worried this might be reheated from yesterday and I came 1pm during the week today. Food - below average Price - too high Cleanliness - okay Service - aunty working there was listening to a show loud off her phone near us - very loud. I dont like poor reviews, but this place needs to change management. I need a good Indian buffet near my work! read more

A weekday buffet lunch or a weekend dinner, this is a pretty great place for delicious Indian food The staff is warm and welcoming The chef stops by every table and makes sure the food is to your liking Well arranged seating, great place to hang out with family and friends Chilli baby corn, veg 65 biryani, methi chaman and garlic naan paired with their mango lassi, just yum! Mango lassi unlike other places here costs almost $8! Other than that, everything Ive noticed is fairly priced. read more

Absolutely wonderful food with a feel of a family run restaurant. We've only been by a couple of times for takeout but every dish we've had has either been a surprising new favorite or an old favorite done with more subtlety and complexity of flavor than we've seen in all the Indian restaurants in town. Highly recommended. read more

My husband and I ate here at 12:30 during a weekday. Cost $50. I didn't read other reviews that said to avoid this place at all costs. I wish I had. Looks like new owners and there is a clear difference in the level of food, ambiance and service. We arrived and no one came out to greet us. We just ended up taking a seat in the back. Then a woman came out and had us move tables - no hello. We then went to the lunch buffet. The food labels were written in pen and on the back of receipts. When we finally got our water, the woman was carrying our glasses under her breasts. We then ran out of water mid meal and never saw person come out and do a scan for any patron needs. The food was Ok but some of the items were actually cool to the touch. They don't care about service or a clean environment so I guess I shouldn't be surprised about the food. There was also no food safety rating in the window fyi. That should have clued me in. Honestly, there are better, tastier and safer places to eat. I would avoid this one and find another restaurant. read more

I never leave reviews, but the owner of this restaurant tried to scam me and my girlfriend. She overcharged us $40 for the buffet when we did not get food from the buffet, we just ordered a couple dishes. Was astonished when I saw the bill for $130. She tried to hit "no receipt" but luckily I hit print in time. That's when she had to come clean and give us cash to make up for it. Lucky all I'm doing is writing a bad review. Please don't give these thief's business. read more

The food was actually pretty good, but the service was terrible. It felt like we were being treated differently because of our race, which was really upsetting. While we were still eating, the staff asked us to leave so they could seat other customers--even though there were people nearby who had been there longer and weren't asked to move. They even told us we could stand and eat, which was incredibly rude and disrespectful. On top of that, the prices are way too high for service like this. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

My wife and I had a chance to enjoy the weekend buffet. We go weekly now! All of the old favorites are available, and we get to try new dishes all the time. The food is delicious and fresh. Their use of spice in skillful and we are thankful for it. The people running Amulya's Kitchen make you feel like family. If you're on the Eastside and want some killer Indian food, give them a try. My favorite is still the palak paneer. So tasty. read more
